Bizarre dreams, wishes, witches, strangeness off to the edge of hearing, not to mention the occasional blinding headache coming out of who knows where.
Yup, welcome to October
We’re still in the south pacific, although we’ve had to leave the last port in our wake unvisited because of the swells. This is a beautiful area of the world, nothing feels…unsafe here. Out here the world is in balance, it makes sense. Even in this crazy month. I will admit it feels odd celebrating a month that’s usually to do with crisp fall leaves and a chill in the air with bright tropical drinks and warm sunshine instead but hey, the sunshine doesn’t make it any less…Octoberish.
The ship is quietly abuzz with the rollup to Halloween, although to be honest on these longer cruises the holiday is more of an occasion for the crew than it is for the guests. There will be a guest party of course, but we will be the ones in the most elaborate costumes most likely.
But the little signs are showing up around the ship, especially in the flower arrangements, which all feature witches hats and tiny spiders.
Yup, no matter where I end up spending it, I love this time of year.
