Living the Dream – Year 2, Day 168

Living the Dream” – Day 25 of our 1/2 world trip aka Year 2, Day 168, Wednesday, October 12, 2022. Our shower is fixed. Yea, they took the gasket from an empty stateroom. We found two cruisin ducks today. We rehid both of them. One had a name and came from Taylorsville, Utah one had no tag. 6:30pm tonight we cross the equator. The ship took everyone’s passports today for the next stops in French Polynesia/Tahiti. They are tough and allow very few ships into their ports. We have another two sea days before we get to those islands. We walked the deck 15 walking trail today. It was very windy. We then walked on Deck 5 inside and outside. We have met so many new friends this trip. I am sure we will be in contact with them again. People tend to cruise over and over and over again. We did meet a couple where this is their first cruise. Wow that is brave to take a first cruise where you are at sea for this many days. I am impressed. My first cruise was from Fort Lauderdale with the next day in Key West. I was all prepared to get off in Key West if I didn’t like it. Needless to say it was our best vacation ever. We still find it very enjoyable. I am being told that we should do the Sydney Harbor Bridge walk. I am thinking about it. Steve is saying no way. He is not going and he says I will be at the top crying if I go.
