San Francisco - 06 February, 2019

Before the photos:  in order to get relatively fast internet service, I have to come to the ship's library at about 8 pm or between 4 and 6 am.  There is too much metal between my stateroom and the routers for anything like a fast connection.

And, I have been in the stateroom since Sunday evening, with a raging cold, a fever slightly over 100 degrees F and a constant headache.  That meant missing Honolulu and Maya and Co.  I cried myself silly when I wasn't sleeping on Monday but there was no way that I could expose her/them to this virus.

I went down to dinner for the first time tonight and got a royal welcome from my waiters and the head waiter.

Of course, P now has it and so I get to thank him for his help during the last 4 days by looking after him.  In truth, I am a better patient, but that's a story for another time.
