Our First Day Aboard!

Wow - this is FANTASTIC ! Taxi collected us at 5 am yesterday (we weren't exactly bright-eyed and bushy tailed, but very excited) Going through Customs at C'Ville Airport they confiscated 4 large tubes of toothpaste in our hand luggage. Gus enquired as to what they do with the "impounded" toothpaste to which he was told we just toss it into the garbage. Gus's comment that had the toothpaste been explosives, the C'Ville Airport would have been blown to pieces wasn't really appreciated by the customs man!!! However, the rest of your trip down to Miami was great. Our cabin is on the 7th floor - the executive suites and is absolutely gorgeous - huge - with an enormous private deck complete with lounging chairs, big fluffy white duvet/comforter, large lounge area and a relatively big bathroom. The private deck is great and at present we overlook the sky-scrapers of Miami which look fabulous at night with all the lights. There were all sorts of orientations yesterday and then in the evening we had a cocktail party with a wonderful spread of food. Everyone is so friendly and incredibly interesting to talk to. We've just had breakfast with a couple from Cape Town - the wife is the Admin. Assistant to Desmond Tutu. We are now anchored out at sea but still with a view of the Miami skyline. We sail off to Nassau on Sunday but life is great and we both confirmed that this is an incredibly wonderful opportunity for us to see the world and interact with such interesting people. Must close now as I have to attend a health & safety orientation. I will try to "blog" later but just felt this was a safer bet for the moment. I have taken some pics of our cabin .... sorry "suite" which I will attach in my blog. Hope you're all doing well. Love,

Sue
