Kevin is doing reasonably well despite his broken lower vertebrae. The ship diverted to Grand Turk last night because the medical staff determined that one of the passengers needed to be transported to a hospital. So we will be arriving in Port Canaveral a couple of hours later tomorrow morning than originally scheduled. We have never been to Turk and Caicos before but it was dark by the time we arrived so we really didn't see much.Have had varied experiences in the casino but this morning I took $60 with me and came out with $140 so overall I didn't lose anymore than I was prepared to and had a good time whileRita received a message from the woman who owns the home we are renting asking if we could delay our arrival by a day. It seems that they had a water leak and the plumber can't get there until tomorrow. So I have a reservation at a Fairfield Inn about a mile away and with the Marriott points that I have accumulated our one night stay is basically free. Just glad the water leak occurred while the owner was there and not after we arrived.Our youngest granddaughter,Jaclyn is in the culinary arts program in her high school so she and Lisa are taking a galley tour today. I will be interested hear her comments about the food operation on the ship.Dave - I fully agree with your comments on the commercialization of the football bowls. And that extends to sports arenas and concert venues. We used to have a concert venue which was called Great Woods and it wonderfully reflected the area where it was located. It has since been renamed a number of times after various commercial entities and is currently called Xfinity Center. Boston Garden, home of the Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins is now officially the TD Garden because TD Bank bought the naming rights. To Boston sports fans it is still and always will be The Gahden. Fortunately Fenway Park has managed to escape this practice.
