First Holiday Away

We were able to reach three out of four kids on the tele Christmas Day. Did my baby sound a little lonely or was it just my guilt for leaving Will alone for the first time over Christmas? He insisted he was happy and healthy while planning a ham dinner feast for one. It's a busy time for Will at work and I do believe he is content to rest with no obligations for a couple of days.

The ship made the holiday feel very festive with special offerings of food, drinks and decor. As we enjoyed brunch, we were advised that our kayaking excursion off of South Georgia Island was cancelled due to rough sea and strong winds. Luckily, we were still able to go to ashore by zodiac. It was another surreal walk along the coast among an abundance of wildlife. The seals, king penguins and birds of many varieties and ages kept us mesmerized and entertained.

We made it back to the ship with just enough time to shower and dress for our highly anticipated dinner at Thomas Keller's restaurant on board, The Grill. Everything was top notch and really delicious, especially the Snake River Wagyu beef Wellington. It certainly was a Christmas to remember.
