Settling into Ship Life

Spent the week unpacking, getting my cabin sorted, figuring out best place to store things and went shopping for some enhancements! I also worked in some billable hours, played pickleball, got a much needed haircut and manicure and have met a ton of people.

Meet Tracy and her co- workers in Ship Spa on deck 3. Tracy only one of ship from Mauritius! She does both hair and nails, loves them both and her enthusiasm is infectious! A lovely easy to chat with young lady, 34, who I will be visiting regularly.

Today we are in the second largest city in all of Indonesia, Surabaya. The Port is huge and busy, as there are tons of freightors and ferries here. We had a warm welcome when we pulled in yesterday evening.

More FUN with the Elephants ! Washing this gentle creature was so special. The handlers at the Sanctuary are so informative and caring and took sooo many pictures for us!

MASON'S ELEPHANT SANTUARY was a little slice of Heaven! in crazy, congested Bali ! I really wanted to treat the Spa Manager Stacy and our Entertainment Manager Kelly, to a fun, non-stressful event that they could truly enjoy! Stacy had never seen elephants before and her squeal of delight, when we first laid eyes on them was pure joy!
