dear Annette, Mario and Kim,
With the big pats on my back from you guys, I am diving in (like a deep sea diver) again into the beauty and charm of Alaska! and continue to jot down whatever will stir up the curiosity and interest of whoever will take a peep at my story.
Breakfast in bed
Let’s start with my breakfast served to me in my stateroom in the dim light of early dawn! Although not exactly like the French breakfasting in bed, the leisurely mood and pleasure of sipping my fragrant coffee and savoring the steaming delicious foods … is the same! My breakfast, the foods varied each morning … my favorites are porridge, pancakes,soft boiled eggs, milk, coffee and smoothies … there were not many because they had to be prepared specially for me (who is a handicap plus denture troubles) by the cook with their special cooking skills to make them fluffy and soft which melt in my mouth without chewing effort! . I don’t know how to tell this pampering attention and care given to me by my ship, the Celebrity Infinity. This pampering! this care! it is truly like a loving mother holding her baby in her arms! so soul soothing! A touching and impressive picture!
My motorized wheelchair
A motorized wheelchair ??? Not a scooter ??? Sure enough!!! ‘cos my wheelchair is powered by Kim who is my 10 Horse Power Motor!!! With this 10 HP wheelchair I can wheel myself all around the 11 decker cruiser, to my lunching and dining, theatres and wherever I like to go!!! This 10 HP horse needs to eat and drink too! He is a real good company in eating, drinking and roaming around!!!
Not a lone miserable handicap
I was not a lone handicap onboard! There were quite a few fashionably dressed old ladies, and a few old gentlemen hulks like me – scootering around and greeting each other happily with our great bitter sweet Smiles!!! An indeed touching sight!
Some pretty people to look at
It was not all eye-sores onboard, there were many pretty girls and ladies to look at like what we see in the Movie “Titanic” who are breathtaking and jaw dropping! And there were those lovable children laughing and jumping around to cheer our hearts! And those amiable polite smiling crew and officers of the ship greeting and bowing
to all passengers they meet!
Ballerinas at sea
Not the ballerinas we see in the ballet shows or in the world famed “Swan Lake” . They were the sea giants! The whales with their giant heads spouting out into the air with streams of water like fountains and their giant pretty tails waving and greeting us! It was a fantastic sight! We call them the Ballerinas of the Sea! They are to be seen in large numbers in the Alaskan waters!
