Miami

Today is our embarkation from Miami on Oceania’s MS Riviera.  Took the shuttle from the hotel to the port terminal, bags handled efficiently, smooth check-in, boarded, had a nice lunch, a short nap, the hated safety drill wearing a bulky life vest and finally going to dinner at the Jacques Restaurant where we enjoyed escargot and prime rib with a glass of wine.  Since then it has been downhill.  Tomorrow started early.

Just after midnight Bob was very sick, really sick.  This went on for hours.  Iris is sure it is norovirus, Bob thinks it was a bad snail.  So Tuesday was a lost day, room service for Iris, nothing for Bob.

Bob is a bit improved this morning.  After nothing to eat yesterday he was ready for toast with peanut butter and hot tea from room service. Thankfully Iris is not restricted.  So a slow day mostly in the room with a lunch in the Terrace Cafe followed by a nap.  Tonight is the Captain’s reception but Bob does not feel like attending so a quiet evening in the room with Iris enjoying some malbec and a cheese platter, Bob having water and ice.  Early to bed.
