Jan 28, Crossing the equator

Image
And the big event today is crossing the equator . The equator is at 0 degrees latitude. Everything north of the equator is a positive latitude (or has a N after it for North), everything south of the equator has a negative latitude (or has a S after it for South). Here is a worksheet to learn more.  Lat Long for Kids We were moving closer to 0.0 degrees and the equator. First was where were when we woke up. Then we were just over 2 degrees above the equator. And then at 1/2 degree. Then just as we transitioned into the southern hemisphere later in the afternoon. After breakfast, Toni, Rob and I went to Stretch class today. And then Line Dancing. And then Goofy Golf Toni hit 3 of the "sand traps" on her first shot, each with a one stroke penalty. But made it on the next put for a 5. Rob missed the sand traps but went under a chair and then another chair and tied Toni with a 5. And that was all in the morning.  But the big event of the day was in the afternoon.  It was the ...

Jan 27, At sea, day 2 out of Hawaii

Image
Starting the 2nd day at sea out of Hawaii Breakfast Toni made a Flower at craft class.  I went with her. Rob went to the Gym for a stretching class. I'm already flat, not sure I wanted to be stretched out too! Rob was part of the Officers vs Passengers Jenga game. The Jenga game that Dad made for Rob and Toni must have helped as he helped the Passengers beat the Officers. Jenga is pretty hard on the ground but on a rocking ship is really hard. Sometimes we thought it was going to fall without anyone near it. I got to meet Toni's favorite Pizza guy. Toni and Rob played a game trying to get a ping pong ball in cups of water. Dinner time Fresh Asparagus and Coconut Shrimp for appetizers  Veal Scalapini and Chicken for dinner Another great sunset Elton John show in the theater tonight. Tomorrow there will be a line crossing ceremony. The line-crossing ceremony is an initiation rite that commemorates a person's first crossing of the Equator
