				 Mary's cruise ship diary..... 
 
			
			DEAR DIARY- DAY 1
 All packed for thecruise ship-- all my nicest dresses,
 swimsuits, short sets. Really, really exciting.
 
 Our local Red Hat chapter - The Late Bloomers decided on
 this "all-girls" trip.
 
 It will be my first one, - and I can't wait!
 
 --------------------------------------------------------------
 DEAR DIARY- DAY 2
 
 Entire day at sea, beautiful. Saw whales and dolphins. Met
 the Captain today -- seems like a very nice man.
 
 --------------------------------------------------------------
 DEAR DIARY - DAY 3
 
 At the pool today. Did some shuffleboard, hit golf balls off
 the deck. Captain invited me to join him at his table for
 dinner. Felt honored and had a wonderful time. He is very
 attractive and attentive.
 ----------------------------------------------------------
 DEAR DIARY - DAY 4
 
 
 Won $800.00 in the ship's casino. Captain asked me to have
 dinner with him in his own cabin. Had a scrumptious meal
 complete with caviar and champagne. He asked me to stay the
 night, but I declined. Told him I could not be unfaithful to
 my husband.
 
 --------------------------------------------------------------
 DEAR DIARY - DAY 5
 
 Pool again today. Got sunburned, and I went inside to drink
 at piano-bar, stayed there for rest of day. Captain saw me,
 bought me several large drinks.
 Really is quite charming. Again asked me to visit his cabin
 for the night. Again I declined. He told me, if I did not
 let him have his way with me, he would sink the ship... I
 was shocked.
 
 --------------------------------------------------------------
 DEAR DIARY - DAY 6
 
 Today I saved 2600 lives.
 
 
 
 Twice.
