Bay of Bengal

Sunday, March 22, 2009 – at sea in the Bay of Bengal, the northeastern part of the Indian Ocean – we turned the clocks back ½ hour!!
Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom

Slept late and had a nice breakfast in the buffet, Lido, at 11. Did some work, went to the church service and the lecture “Social Life in the Nixon White House” by Col. Stephen Bauer, and ate with friends who live in Sarasota, FL! …hopefully we can keep in touch with them when we are down there next time. He was a professional photographer and we saw the video he has created so far of the trip and it is amazing!!! He gave me some camera tips. Tried to sort out our tours for India (this week already!!) and did some research in the library. Spend a lot of time chatting to people as you walk the halls so sometimes it takes an hour to get across the ship!!! But it is fun. Went to the fitness center and had a nice pork dinner.

The entertainer was comedian Rondell Sheridan, from “Show Me the Money” and co-host of “Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus”. Even the Brits were laughing along tonight.
Formal night for the “Puttin’ on the Ritz Ball” and ‘60s night in the lounge.

Missed: Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts workshop, fruit and vegetable carving demo, digital camera seminar, fashion show, special jewelry lecture and show on Arabic calligraphy in art and architecture, lecture on “Camilla – Can she be Queen”….the list is endless!!
