FINAL DINNER

Lucien took everyone out to dinner at the Palau Pacific Resort for dinner. All of the guests and crew were invited, which, according to Ding, was unprecendented. The dinner was very good; both Lynne and Silvia helped themselves only to bread and caesar's salad, which appear to both be rare commodities aboard the Big Blue. Some beautiful Polynesian dancers danced for us, and we had lots of champagne and wine. It was a fitting closing dinner for a wonderful experience!

Back on the boat, the thirty-and-over crowd started dancing and singing karaoke to songs that neither Kenny nor I knew. Bev kept wondering whether we were having a good time. Bev: we had a fantastic time. :)
