Non world cruiser on board Shadow watching WC’ers assemble for their overnight tour! 26 tiny white vans. Temp going up to 86F. Bon Voyage!

Can thoroughly recommend the Akaroa Cooking School tour.

Rachel: Just found you on this site. Best Love and happy memories to you and George.

King Neptune held court on the pool deck early this afternoon.   It was the best "Crossing the Equator" event we've ever seen!  Moss Hill was awesome as the Emcee.  The dude in the role of King Neptune did an incredible job!  Well done lads and lasses!  We didn't take photos.   The pool deck was very crowded. 

I expect there will be a similar event when you cross the equator again on your way back?

Is the WC scheduled for an opera in Sydney? La Traviata?

Who is the Chef on this cruise?

Have you ventured into " Team Trivia"?

I have curly Kale in my refrigerator. I sauté it in butter with garlic ( Born and bred in the UK).

Going to try something different tonight. "Bubble and Squeak" using Kale!

I think the calling soda Coke is somehow related to the geographic distance from Atlanta GA.  Lived in Georgia for a few years, and agree with you there.

But, as lovely Lois points out, many southerners say soda for a carbonated drink.

My wife, rural Virginia born and bred, says soda also.

My tar heel father said Pepsi until the voice on the other end asked if coke was ok.

But, I loved my visits to Alabama, Florence, Muscle Shoals, Huntsville.  So I must ask (even if off topic), do you like kale when prepared properly @DRK0312 ?

Hi, we must be from different parts of the south because nobody uses the term "pop" around here. (Not for soda anyway).

Exactly. All soft drinks are "cokes".

Thank you.  Mystery solved.  'Tin cans' becomes 'tins' in UK and 'cans' in US.  Kind of like 'soda pop' becomes 'soda' in NY and 'pop' in the midwest.

"pop" in the South is "a coke"- no matter what brand!

Still on Whisper in Alaska. Oh Silverseas Luxury cruises Wherefore art though? I would gladly pay extra to have you back! 

Currently on Whisper in Alaska. Service way below par, but Internet much improved thanks to Elon Musk's Starlink Satellites!
