October 17 - Sea Day

We've been extraordinarily lucky with our tablemates at dinner. Vince and Sandee are from Hawaii and he has six motorcycles, a Porsche, a vintage '61 Buick and a '69 Mustang that he is restoring. He looks like Henry Winkler and we all call him "The Fonz"! Eric and Gay are from near London, but are originally from Liverpool, so they're continuing the lessons in Liverpool slang that we were learning from Rodney and Rhona on our last cruise. "Lovely... brilliant.... I'm gobsmacked by your kecks, lad... were you squiffy when you chose them?" Can't wait for tonight's lesson! (We love being bilingual!!)

POSTSCRIPT: Yesterday's wait for Sir David Frost was definitely worth it! His presentation, "Interviews I Shall Never Forget" was a standing room only event in the Royal Court Theatre. He is the only person to have interviewed the last seven Presidents of the United States and the last seven Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom. The greatest interest from this crowd seemed to be in his interviews with Richard Nixon.
