I woke up for a while and couldn&#8217;t get back to sleep, but finally did.  So it was more of a nap than actually sleeping in.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the first meal of the day was lunch again, and we went up with E and Carl to the restaurant, where I had a burger and a french dip sub.  They weren&#8217;t calling it that, but that&#8217;s what it was.  The food was good, but unfortunately, that whole restaurant is at the rear of the ship, and our table in particular was very near the engine or propeller or something, and the area was vibrating.   Not so much that it disturbed the meal, but enough that it was very much like being in a moving car, and I started to feel ill.<\/p>\n<p>So after lunch, I went to lie down in the cabin for a while.   After 45 minutes or so, I was feeling better, so went with E and Carl to one of the trivia events, which turned out to be the game Scene It.  It was just for fun, so there was no competitive stress, and we just sat there with the other people shouting out answers when we knew them.  It was fun, though normally I would have preferred it to be a real contest.<\/p>\n<p>After that was over, I tried lying down again, but felt good enough to also play with the Game Boy for a while as well.  Still, none of the dinner choices really appealed to me, so when we went, I asked for just spaghetti with marinara sauce.  I was apprehensive, since the waiter did not seem to understand right away, but the order was delivered exactly as I wanted, and it completely hit the spot.<\/p>\n<p>We went back to the cabin to hang out some more, play with the Game Boy, read, and pack up all of our belongings.  E and Carl had earlier determined that if we waited for the normal disembarking, we would probably have to wait a couple of hours.   But if we didn&#8217;t check any of our luggage, we could do &#8220;express&#8221; disembarking and leave the ship around 8:15, without having to wait at all.  Though reluctant to get up quite that early, we did agree to do this, in the interests of not sitting around for hours wasting time.<\/p>\n<p>So after we&#8217;d gotten everything packed up that we could, we went to bed.  And even though I stayed up for a while reading before I turned off my light, I still couldn&#8217;t fall asleep right away.  After lying there for what seemed like hours and hours, I grabbed up my watch and was startled to find it was only 1:30 am!  Not too long after that, I managed to fall asleep, but I was still exhausted when we got up shortly before 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday morning, I slept in, sort of.
