Without further ado let me tell you that Fred and Ginger are safely cocooned in the bosom of the Carnival Splendor. They arrived back at 8:20 pm. I had actually been truly worried about them………I wrote about them in the blog yesterday and although they are ummm “different”………I still worried that I had not given them enough serious assistance. Had they crashed, were they lost, had they caught foot and mouth mad sheep disease?

Well, I called Fred in the cabin and I expected him to sound surprised that I had called when in fact he was totally non-plussed about it as though I call every guest in their cabin to say welcome home. I asked him if he had discovered his ancestors in Berlin…………..and 20 minutes later I decided that it probably was one of the most stupid questions I have ever asked. Eventually, I managed to get a word in and said I had to go back to the deck party and just before he said goodbye he said………and this is an exact quote “I shall meet you in the lobby directly following your excursion program talk tomorrow to discuss our intentions in Russia.”…………intentions? Was Fred about to invade the country?…………………anyway, I have just returned from our meeting and that’s a whole other story…………for later.
