I am writing this on October 22. Well, the ship hit the fan this evening when I logged into the Amadolce's WiFi system and tried to pull up pbase. Here is what I got. So, I went to the Cruise Manager and he told me to talk to the desk. I went to the desk and talked to the purser and she told me to talk to the hotel manager. I went to the hotel manager and he told me there was nothing to be done since they contract this whole internet thing out to somebody. So, I emailed AMA Waterways in Los Angeles. They kindly replied and told me to go talk to the Cruise Manager. Having been there and done that already I said the hell with it. I find it interestng that pbase is blocked as a pornography site. Off to a very rocky start with these guys. I ended three weeks behind on my "What I Did Today" posts which I intend to eventually catch up with. On the whole the cruise was very nice. I am currently at the Ritz Carlton in Istanbul. Three nights here and it is back to the humdrum world of reality in Houston.
