December 25, 2010 Christmas Day

Even with another time zone change and gaining another hour, I get up late this morning. Again the Promenade deck is closed due to high winds, and the seas are still a bit rough, so off to the gym for my 2 mile walk. Buffet style breakfast, then to Claudia’s piano class and reading. I finished the Gert Boyle (Chairman of Columbia Sportswear) book One Tough Mother and began reading Jawbreaker.



The highlight of the day is the Grand Buffet at lunch. Table after table of all varieties of foods – meats, appetizers, sushi, fish, and desserts are set up in the main atrium. We were thinking about just going up to the Lido Deck for a burger or something because of a late breakfast and bistro snack that filled us up – and then I saw the chef carving the prime rib. So for lunch I have a custom made Cobb salad, prime rib, an oyster and some shrimp and lobster. I skip the dessert despite the opportunities. After lunch, Claudia heads off to see a lecture by Scott Bornstein, a memory training specialist. I figure the room will be packed, and since I can watch the replay on TV later, I head up to the Sun Deck to catch some rays, since it is mostly sunny today and the seas have calmed. Later we watch a TV program detailing the available excursions we can take in Hawaii.


Plans for tonight include the movie “Salt”, followed by the late stage show.
