We made it!!!!!!!!!!!!! After last years cancellatios I thought we would never head East. Well, after two MARVELOUS days at POR we woke this morning to 47 degree temps. The bus ride to port was 1/4 full (everyone must have been going on the Wonder tomorrow). I was quite cool and windy on deck 9 for the buffet so we headed midship to get out of the wind. Rae, the shrimp are still marvelous!!!!! All CM's are as perfect as I remember and the ship.......WOW......I couldn't wait to get to Diversions. Very nice (if you like the quiet bar atmosphere). College football was on there were parents playing board games with their chldren and the "landlord" (bar mgr. I forgot his name) made it a point to strike up conversation with ALL patrons. Well DW and DD's are at a show and I am in route back to my verandah before our late seating.........The weather is getting warmer as we sail and the seas seem to be cetting calmer.............I'll post more tomorrow!!!
