Mariners - Saturday, December 23rd 2006 10:45 AM
This morning I actually managed to catch breakfast - I don't mean I dangled a line over the side and hooked me a trout, I mean I actually managed to catch the Lido Breakfast...
Benghazi - Ryhmes
with... - Friday, December 22nd 2006 12:30 PM
I think it's important, having visited a place, to record one's thoughts and observations whilst they're still fresh in your memory. So, I've just returned from my short visit...
Friday morning -
Benghazi - Friday, December 22nd 2006 10:08 AM
If I have a gripe, it's the way they occasionally change the times of meals around. As I overheard someone else say on the Lido Deck this morning, we're creatures of habit, so...
Thursday - Sea-day - Thursday, December 21st 2006 4:27 PM
It's been a slow, lazy sea-day today. Lots of people just relaxing on deck and looking out at the endless shimmering ocean. There are plenty of activities for people to get...
Politics - Wednesday, December 20th 2006 10:35 PM
Here's a thing - and nobody knew this until tonight - except, nobody's still quite sure whether or not it's true - we will see at 11pm!! The word is, that, although tomorrow is...
If it's Wednesday,
it must be Tripoli - Wednesday, December 20th 2006 3:08 PM
Tripoli - very foreign Since the day started out quite nippy, the dress regulations whereby long sleeves and long trousers are compulsory, presumably because the sight of...
Tueasday - Valetta,
Malta - Tuesday, December 19th 2006 11:45 PM
Tuesday - Valetta, Malta We docked in Valetta at 10am, this morning, and soon after; saw the first rain of the trip. It didn't last long though - many people disembarking...
Monday - at sea - Monday, December 18th 2006 11:25 AM
Monday I changed my mind last night about The Da Vinci Code. When it came to it, it seemed daft to give over the best part of 3 hours to watching a movie that no only had I...
Day 5 - Sweet Sunday - Sunday, December 17th 2006 4:40 PM
Day 4 - Sweet Sunday I managed to completely miss breakfast this morning! I've brought my old watch with me for when I go ashore in dodgy places where they can't keep their...
Saturday - Cadiz - Saturday, December 16th 2006 7:25 PM
Saturday - Today's Excursion Today began very exciting because this was our very first port-of call - Cadiz, in Spain. We docked at almost bang-on 11am, as predicted, in...
Me - an escort?? - Friday, December 15th 2006 4:29 PM
Day 3 - Later Workshop 2 went better than yesterday, with more passengers turning up (about 15 participants, I think) - 1:45pm is a bit of an odd time really, because it's...
Day 3 - Friday -
Hoops Champion - Friday, December 15th 2006 11:42 AM
Day 3 - Friday Woke up with a start at 9:40 - much better night's sleep - in fact probably too good! Breakfast is until 10am in the Lido Bar, so I had to move quickly (I'd...
Day 2 - later - Thursday, December 14th 2006 7:44 PM
Later on My first workshop went well - had 10 people turn up - don't know if that's good or not. It wiped me out, though! I've never conducted a workshop where the floor...
Day Two - Thursday, December 14th 2006 11:30 AM
Day 2 on the Saga Ruby - the food is excellent and the atmosphere very friendly. Last night I attended pre-dinner drinks presided over by the Cruise Director, Tanya Whitehurst,...
I'm on board! - Wednesday, December 13th 2006 2:57 PM
It's just coming up to 3pm, and I'm ON BOARD THE SAGA RUBY - WOO HOO! No wireless internet on-board, so this is coming to you via my mobile phone which has just bleeped at me to...
Change of title! - Sunday, November 19th 2006 1:06 PM
I was rummaging through the Saga website yesterday. With my cruise fast approaching, I thought I'd check out their virtual tour of the ship Saga Ruby. I'm one of these people...
