sailcricketpam: Monday - a tale of two sisters.

Hi ALL!

Monday - a tale of two sisters.

To contrast the lifestyles... I rolled over in a queen sized bed, got up in my 70 degree room, had a hot shower with plenty of water pressure, brushed my teeth (and rinsed them with fresh water) was able to easily pass by my husband on his way to the bathroom without changing course, style my hair in a rather large picture mirror, watch the news, use the hotel WIFI, and sit at a kitchen table and enjoy the morning.

Pam on the other hand, rolled over in a torpedo tube of a nook that I'm not sure Ben can even sit up straight in; got up in a cabin that is probably about 40 degrees, if she wanted to shower would have to walk around the dock (it is 39 degrees out) up the ramp and around to the non-heated bathroom with barely any water pressure (to the point where you practically have to jump around to get wet); brush her teeth with the water there coming out of a tap encrusted with some sort of green barnacle stuff, brush her hair in a rather tiny mirror mounted too high (it does say "you're pretty" below it); walk back to the boat with cold wet hair, navigate back on board, tip toe around the nav station; down the steep ladder to get to the kitchen nook. (no wifi).

If you can live with that most days, then here is the payoff. A beautiful stroll with your best friend, surround sound picture windows that only God can put together; meeting people that us city dwellers would probably rush past; experiencing new cultures; living with breathless nature and animals; the freedom to go where you want, when you want without the shackles of society; and love.

Ed and I wish them all the best for a safe, happy, fun, adventurous trip. We will be happy to fly and meet you where ever you land!
