In South Africa, when we were at, I believe, the Haven Hotel, I told you all out there about the changes of a woman\u2019s life. When they are young, they want horses, when they get a bit older, they want a man, and when they get older and older, the want to go on a cruise ship. In other words, the way of a woman\u2019s life can be summed up in one word; horsemanship\u2026horse, man, ship.<\/i><\/p>\n
Today my mother, who is in the 3rd<\/sup> stage of that cycle, probably got on to the closest thing to a cruise. The boat in which we are all riding is large. It may not be the largest boat in the harbor, but it is still very large. There are 9 decks in total as far as I can tell, and we are staying on deck 4. Our tickets may say that we are in room 4009, but I can assure you that the plaque on the outside of the door says 4033.<\/p>\n The levels below us are just for cars and trucks, so we are the lowest possible. The main deck from which you can feel the breeze is number 9. As I said earlier, it is a big ship, and it is big enough to even have a pool. Sadly, though, the pool wasn\u2019t open to swimmers, so we spent a dry afternoon and evening. Tonight, after getting on the boat, we ate dinner at one of the onboard restaurants.<\/p>\n That\u2019s all for now, Folks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In South Africa, when we were at, I believe, the Haven Hotel, I told you all out there about the changes of a woman\u2019s life.
