So how was our Seabourn Odyssey 53-day cruise?  Depends on who you ask.  My companion loved the journey, and made a hold for a future trip with Seabourn.  I thought it was mostly fine, but a bit too long.  The fantasy baseball season began a month ago and my three teams started poorly.  However, two are now in first place and the third in second, so can't really complain.   The following are mostly my views. A huge surprise is my weight.   After we returned to Honolulu, went shopping at Marukai to purchase some o-toro sashimi for the 15 Craigside-supplied Pork Tofu for dinner and other items to enhance in-house meals, I added a large bento of curry rice/garlic chicken, with a goodly amount of fat-inducing macaroni-mayonnaise salad.   I thought this would be my last splurge before re-going on a diet.  I weighed 152-155 pounds the week I left Honolulu for Sydney nearly two months ago.  After that lunch with beer, I weighed myself, and had to repeat it three times.  For all that I ate

This is April 1 where I am.  The following are not April Fool jokes: Donald Trump got indicted. Finland joins NATO, or at least will in a few days . The Seabourn Odyssey has a COVID-19 outbreak. You can read about the other two, but last night the ship's captain made a startling announcement.  There is a covid outbreak and beginning tomorrow, all staff will be wearing masks.  He advised passengers to also do this when indoors. In June of 2021 we took a Norwegian cruise through Hawaii, and three months ago were on Regent Seven Seas from Dubai to Singapore.  We suspected there was this virus on board, but everything was kept hush hush. We've been noticing orange colored bags outside of cabins, and already suspected something was wrong.  There are five on our floor.  Sort of reminded me of 15 Craigside, which placed scary signs on the door of those quarantined.  Our retirement community finally got hit with this coronavirus one month before we were scheduled to leave for Sydney.
