Hi Audrey
Greetings from the South Pacific! Hope all is well in Iowa. Got here yesterday afternoon and I’m just getting settled in. Jet lag hasn’t been as bad as I expected. Found our cruise ship last night and spent the night on it. We take off later today for the first of a set of small trips.
The boat is smaller than I expected. Need to talk to my travel agent about this (lol). I’ve met several people onboard and I seem to be the only “normal” one, if you get my drift.
There’s a retired banker couple in the cabin immediately next to mine. They seem nice enough, but talk about glitz! And they jabber about it incessantly – The Hamptons this and the chauffeur that. Nothing I can relate to, unfortunately.
Just met the captain. Nice guy, but not my type, if you know what I mean. On the heavy side and too old for me, but he likes to laugh and is very friendly.
I did meet one good looking single guy and flirted a bit with him. Not sure if he even noticed, though. He’s some kind of engineer and says he teaches at a university. Probably the type who likes his test tubes more than women (just my luck).
Last, there’s my roommate. More than anyone else I’ve met, she makes me feel like I don’t fit. I think she’s some kind of model or actress or something. Looks like she stepped out of the pages of Vogue. Always in an evening gown and she even wore jewelry to breakfast this morning! Pretty stuck on herself and I feel like she looks down on me. Her behavior makes me think, “Having great time. Wish you were her” (lmao – wish she was you instead of her). Fortunately we’re only going to be together for a day or so.
Well, that’s pretty much it here. Weather good so far, but storm predicted for tonight. Hope it doesn’t make me seasick. Hugs and kisses to everyone back there.

PS: I almost forgot. There is one other sort of oddly cute, single guy here, but he’s a hopeless case, if there ever was one. I think he’s the first mate. Every time he screws up, which is often, he yells out, “Skipperrrrrrrrrrrrr”. Strange name too – Gilligan.
