I had another night that I found it hard to fall asleep. I had a song running through my head and I was trying to figure out what the name of the movie it came from was (I could remember almost everything about the movie but the title) . After an hour I got up and tried to look it up on the internet but the ship's system wasn't working. Back in bed for another hour of tossing and turning. Got up at 2 and tried again and was able to get online. Once I had the title I fell right asleep.
There was a travel trivia by Kainoa, the location guide, at 9:00 in the Crow's Nest. It was really hard and dealt with places we had been and/or his talks about Polynesia. Susie won with 14 - I had 9(out of 26).
1. Where was Amelia Earhart headed when her plane disappeared?
2. What year did Captain Cook arrive in Hawaii?
3. What does Moorea mean in the native language?
Sit and Stitch was next (and in the same place). About seven were present.
Because of a number of afternoon events, trivia was at 11 (again in the same location). Five of us played and we had 11 1/2 out of 16 (the same as the artichokes) but the winning team had 12.
1.The Rhodesian Ridgeback was originally bred to hunt what animal?
2.The record temperature was 134F set in 1913. Where did it happen?
3.How much is a bullseye worth in darts?
4.How many hours a day does a typical sloth sleep - 4, 14, or 20?
The "Whatever Floats Your Boat" contest was held at 11 also so I missed it. I did get to see two of the boats by the Lido Pool later.
The Lido featured a "Seafood Extravaganza" for lunch so I had crab legs and shrimp.
We were supposed to meet for Bunco at 1:30 but only three of us showed up so we sat and talked instead.
Name That Tune was at 3 by the Seaview Pool. The weather has turned cooler with temperatures in the mid-60s and mostly overcast. It felt nice sitting by the pool however. The topic was Elvis songs. We (really Susie and Louis) had 5 correct but the winning team had 9. They were tough and I was never much of an Elvis fan.
I had a snack of tortilla chips and cheese sauce instead of my usual ice cream while I sat by the Lido pool and read.
Six of us played trivia. We tied another team (not the artichokes) with 14 and we actually won the tie breaker!
1.What was Samuel Beckett's first play?
2.What are the two official languages of Vatican City?
3.What element is last on the periodic chart?
4.Which US President made a major faux pas by kissing the Queen Mother on the lips?
5.For which movie did John Wayne win his only Oscar?
Tie breaker - About how many gallons of water does an average person drink in a lifetime?
Tonight was the last Gala Night. Our table had fun taking numerous pictures with everyone's cameras. I had the Surf and Turf and cheesecake for dessert.
On the way back to my cabin I stopped in the casino and actually won $15.00 on the slots (that's a lot for me!).
The show was "Ever After" which I had seen last year so I did not go again.
