We had many ways…
To spend these last seven days.

Another formal night…
Everyone looking glittery bright.

The Maître D invited us to have dinner
With the Captain of this ship…Tim Stringer

The weather…
Could not have been better.

I was as relaxed as can be…
Sitting on my balcony…

Looking over the Arabic Sea..
That is as calm as can be.

The beauty of each sunrise…
Was every morning again a surprise.

I had much time to write and rhyme…
And was invited to taste more wine!

We were apprehensive to some degree
While in convoy we sailed the Red Sea

We received little news
Internet and phone we could not use

Egypt this time we will skip…
As now…it is to dangerous to travel there by ship!

Each evening we did go…
To enjoy the after dinner show.

An orientation session on Valetta
Located on Malta

And an orientation of Messina on Sicily…
Where Mount Edna we will see .

But first, tomorrow we will take a hike…
Into Petra … Which I know I will like
