Day at Sea - I'm a winner!

October 24, 2009 – Saturday – 1:50.
What fun! I won at Bingo last night and had a lot of fun playing as well as winning! It would have been better if I hadn’t had to split the pot 5 ways; but it still paid for the fun I had. Dinner was very good and we just came back to our room without even checking out the show. There was a storm blowing and we found it much more entertaining to sit on our balcony and watch the wild waves and blowing wind. It is always fun to be in a protected environment during a storm and the balcony was totally calm and dry.
It is a day at sea on our way to Alexandria, Egypt so we took our books up to Deck 13 and read for awhile. Another Bingo session at 11:15 found me ready to play and gave Mike a good napping opportunity. We really are quite good at the relaxation thing! I did not win at Bingo but one of the goodies that comes with the bingo package are some tear off tabs, a little like scratch off lottery tickets. I pulled off all of mine and was quite un-inhibited about doing the little victory dance as I uncovered a $500.00 prize! That really more than made up for not winning at bingo and puts me pretty far ahead on my investment!
We’re back from lunch now and Mike is sitting on our balcony reading while I do this update. I think that my winnings might just entitle me to pop for the very expensive internet café so I can actually get this blog going again. Nah……, I just can’t do it. I’ll wait to see if there is an internet café in Alexandria. We’ll be there tomorrow morning.
