I asked Aaste today what she liked best about being aboard an ocean liner. Her first response was dinner! Well - the girl does like to take care of her stomach and indeed the food has been terrific and the dinner 'experience' extremely pleasant. We shared a table with a Yorkshire couple with a sixteen year old daughter and our dinner conversations were full of fun. Second on her list was the 'movies'. If she wasn't holed up in the room watching movies on one of the movie channels she was heading off every evening right after dinner to the movie nights held for the teens her age. All in all she seemed to have a good time. I dragged her to two planetarium shows, a play, and a 'song and dance' show - all of which she seemed to enjoy - but food and movies were her highlights.
This morning she watched "The Holiday" with Kate Winslett, Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, and Jack Black. Cameron's character goes to spend the holidays in Surrey at Kate's house. Coincidentally we will be spending the next 3-4 nights in Surrey with a couch surfing contact. We land at about 6am and will travel to London and spend the afternoon sightseeing and then head off to Surrey to settle in with Caroline.
This blog chronicles a 10 month period of travel that I took with my 13 year old daughter in 2007/08.
