CRUISING GULF OF THAILAND

Saturday, March 30th
     WOW!  The ship's internet has been driving me crazy today as it is just about worthless.  None at all this morning and this afternoon I could not do much.  Seems everyone on the ship is trying to use it and as a result, it is VERY slow and will not upload anything.  Everyone getting ready for dinner now so finally can use it.  I had written for an hour earlier but lost it so now starting over.
     It was a smooth day of sailing in Gulf of Thailand with high temperature of 91 degrees and humidity down to 41% under mostly sunny skies.  The sun worshipers up on pool deck were happy.  We worked out and went to Sandra Bowern's lecture on Thailand this morning.  Great one as usual!  Theme for lunch was Seafood Extravaganza.  This afternoon I have been wasting my time with this silly internet.  We also organized what we will be packing for our exclusive event for the 78 day cruisers.  Regent is taking us to the super nice Peninsular Hotel in Bangkok for an over night event.  We will be doing tours and tomorrow night be wined and dined.  Will return to the ship the following afternoon.  Bangkok is a 2 1/2 hour bus ride from where we will dock at 10am tomorrow.  We were in Bangkok 3 years ago when on our world cruise.
     Tomorrow is Easter Sunday but also our 29th anniversary.  First time that has happened.  Guess we will celebrate in Bangkok.  Ship will send us champagne and a cake upon our return.  Tonight we have been invited to dine with Goren, the Food & Beverage Manager.  I suspect there will be at least two other couples also.  It is formal optional tonight as is Captain's Farewell Party and crew show so I better get my tux on.
     Not sure if I will be able to post while in Bangkok.  Internet is not free and not sure how much time I will have anyway.  Probably get something on before we leave tomorrow morning.
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!
