Sailing Away

After we stopped in our staterooms, checked out the tween/teen club "Edge", and hit the 24hr ice cream stand, it was time for the lifeboat drill mandated by maritime law. Unlike in '06, you did NOT have to don your lifejacket or actually go to the lifeboat, instead simply meeting at the pre-assigned point for your stateroom. (ours was "O"). It spooked LK but its necessary and important. 

Then it was time for the "Sailing Away" party on the pool deck, where we whooped it up! Grace was a bummer, as she was convinced she would hate the Edge and insisted on acting like a downer. Lisa temporarily solved that by dancing like a fool, saying she'd stop only when YaYa got into the spirit of the moment. 

At some point the horn sounds and you look to your left and the skyline is receding - you're on the move!
