May 16, 2018 - At Sea

Today is the second at sea day as we leave Iceland and head to Lerwick (Shetland Islands), Scotland.  It seems that these are the days most everyone relaxes--I notice a lot more sleeping in, less crowds in the breakfast buffet, more swimming (even in the cold).

Remember, this is our first cruise so most of this is new to me.  Celebrity works hard to keep you entertained and busy:  there are shows every night, a library, computer room (of Apples), gym, hot tubs, swimming pools (indoor and outdoor), and contests.  Food is plentiful, and there is coffee 24 hours a day--though even I haven't gone out at 330 am to check.

I have to admit that I am not used to the relaxation.  I usually take vacations to expose myself to a different type of stress--not to relax.

Fe and I miss the boys.  She will FaceTime with them and we've sent IMs.  There has been some severe weather in Carlisle this week, so I worry a bit also.
