Today was the first of two days at sea for our return to Fort Lauderdale. We spent just about all of it at the back bear pool. I brought down a book and my ipod and spent much of the day reading and chatting with the other bears and passengers.

One interesting thing that happened was we all got word that there was a hurricane in the gulf that might get between us and Fort Lauderdale. The captain made announcements throughout the day reporting on the progress of the storm. There was much speculation on what would happen if the hurricane did block our way home. Go to another port? Turn around and spend another day or two in the Caribbean? We shall see!
