Photos - Betty Wins Bingo

Hi
Well, the evening took a positive turn....

Betty won $210 at Bingo. We went to dinner and hit the casino.

Betty (again) won at 21 -- and Jerry won at 21 -- and Dennis won at 21.

All in all, it was a "lucky" night.

Our Dance number was a success (see Shirley on left side of photo).

Now, good night, and we'll see you soon.

Goodbye - Show & Final Sea Day

Broadway Show and Final Day Aboard -- Goodbye – 1400 hrs
We’ve gone to our final rehearsal for the Talent Show tonight. Shirley ,Leila & Dennis have all decided what we will wear for our performance clothes, and Terry and Jerry will be taking photos. Just finished packing our suitcase and we all will put them outside our cabin door after dinner. Betty is getting anxious for the final Bingo game at 5:00 p.m. Lots of people usually attend the last Bingo game – we’re all hoping to win the big pot of money. Following Bingo on to the casino to spend the final chips collected during the cruise.
Terry gave the head chef a suggestion on a better way to prepare hash brown potatoes, and was happy to find the head chef took his suggestion this morning.
Tonight after the show, and just before I go to bed, I will post a few photos (if I get a chance). This will be our last Blog for the “Worlds Away” cruise. It’s been fun to share our travels with all our friends and we appreciate any and all who responded with a note in return.
We’ll be home soon to tell more “sea stories”.

Pyramids of Egypt

Pyramids of Egypt
We woke up early this morning and began a 12 hour tour of Alexandria & Cairo Egypt.
The pyramids were our main destination and were about 2-1/2 hours away from our Port town of Alexandria, the second-largest city in Egypt and named after Alexander the Great, it’s founder. Our tour took us through Alexandria into the main city of Cairo and on to the Great Pyramids. We all agreed we thought the pyramids were far into the Sahara Desert. Yes, they are in the Sahara Desert, but the desert begins at the edge of the city of Cairo. While you drive through the city you soon find yourself crossing the Nile River right to the edge of the Great Sahara desert and suddenly you see the three great pyramids (the last standing ancient wonder of the world) on the horizon of the City of Cairo. It’s quite a sight!
After the pyramid stop, our tour took us to lunch on a small boat on the Nile River, the longest river in the World! Wow, 2 big GREATS in one day. The sailboat was manned by one person maneuvering from the stern to the bow to either set the sail or steer the boat. Jerry said we had camel “kabobs” for lunch but Terry thought they might be something else. Some of us refrained from the meat portion of the meal.
A stop at the local bazar -- more local color!
A great, busy, and wonderful day!
Tomorrow is our “show”. Dennis has been singing the song “One” from Chorus Line, and Leila and Shirley are practicing their dance steps. It’s all great fun!
Our last stop Athens is coming toooooo….soon. We’ll soon be back in the Keys.
