Cruise

Boarded the Amsterdam last afternoon, took in an onboard show, later had a late meal and retired for the night. A VERY NICE room with an unobstructed view, port side. The ship was built in 2000, is 760 ft long, will accomodate 1350 people, with a crew of over 600. We are still in port today and sail tonight for Montevideo for a day and then reverse course for the Faulkland Islands.
Onboard they want $55 for 100 minutes on the internet, sooo, you can bet we will be looking for internet cafes at each port of call.
Problem with cruiseing is that if you have a few extra pounds around the waste (and elsewhere) when you board the ship, you can bet your sweet bippy that you will have MUCHO MUCHO extra pounds when you leave. And for Alan---the deserts and ice cream are great, and in too great a supply.
