San Francisco 20 July

Regent had a special breakfast room this morning and we've met some very nice people, mostly in the older age group.  It seems there are quite a few Australians and a lady from Port Stephens whispered to me 'thank God I've met someone young, everyone looks so old'.  Had to remind her that we all fit that category but since she is still 69 I guess that is young.  Sat with some people from Christchurch and Sydney - all lovely.  

Bus from the hotel took about 25 mins and we were amongst the first to board.  Some passengers have been on since Vancouver.  A glass of champagne on arrival, straight to lunch which was delicious, everything you could imagine on Regent.  

They say if you are 'served up a lemon, make a gin & tonic' - could have made 2 this afternoon.  After the very long drill (guess with the age group of this cruise we take a bit longer LOL) we went up on deck for sail away.  Once again, open bar, first piña colada for the trip and delicious canapés.  But it was FREEZING and windy up there - I had my vest and wind proof jacket on but not nearly enough.  Next thing I'll be complaining about the heat so had better shut up!!!!! 

Well, dinner over and a great night sharing a table with a lovely couple from Auckland, Barbara & Roger (Moses I think). Just back in the room and it is after midnight!
