Cell Service at Sea and Indians

Today is another sea day. Lots of stuff to do but we didn't do that. We ate, we read, we napped, (I'm real good at that) we talked to lots of peoples, and we watched a DVD in the room that we borrowed from the ship’s library. It quit about 3/4 of the way through which was okay because it sucked anyhow. It was Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe. Don't waste your time.

We had dinner again at Signatures. That's the fancy Cordon Blue restaurant. I do not remember ever getting a better meal or nearly as good anywhere in Florida.

In the afternoon I tried my cell phone. I had to charge it up because we are leaving for a day tomorrow. It did not have the right time, hour or minutes, but showed a full signal. So I just hit call on the first stored phone number I had. It was actually the last phone number, Yael. It worked perfectly. I then called my slave Vicki to see if she was getting all the work done I ordered her to do. That call worked to. I caught her on her cell. She was at Home Depot getting the materials to build a monument to me I ordered her to build. She really is a doll. She is doing all kinds of good stuff for us while we are gone. I might have to give her a thank you or something.

I asked the front desk and then the computer guy if they knew why the phone was working and on what. They knew nothing. They are good at knowing nothing. This morning I mentioned it to my butler as he was bringing me my breakfast in bed. He knows everything. They have been installing T-Mobile Service at Sea, on the ship. It is not supposed t be working and they have no way to charge for it yet. I don't know if there will be an extra charge on my cell bill or not. When we get to San Diego I will call T-Mobile and find out. If it is cheep or less I will try calling many people.

By the way, I forgot to mention that my butler's name is Ian, same as my grandson. They are both Indians too except the butler is East Indian and my grandson is Wild Indian.

That's about it for today. Tomorrow we are supposed to get into San Diego at about 10:00 AM. At about 11:00 we have to go through customs and then at 11:30 we are scheduled to have a brunch at Signatures. It is just for the passengers continuing on the full world cruise. Then they will limo us to the Beverly Wilshire [sp] Hotel in Los Angeles. We are supposed to have a big dinner party there tomorrow evening and then be transported back to the ship the next morning. It will have moved to Los Angles also. So if you do not get my wondrous writings for a day or two, that does not necessarily mean I fell overboard or was killed by Bobbi's Whisper Diet.

Sea Sherman out.
