After a rough night going south along Florida, we arrived in Key West around 11:00 am. Terri and I planned to go to Hog's Breath so we could entertain Homer on the Key West Cam but we never made it there. Instead we wandered all over Duval Street and went shopping. Once I found the Rum Cake House I was happy so I settled in to eat Rum Cake samples. These were not as good as Cayman Islands Rum Cakes but they did in a pinch.

The only Trek activity today was the Trek version of Newlyweds and our group picture on the bow of the ship. Tomorrow is the big day for actors and Trek stuff.

Our actors are Robert Picardo, (Voyager Dr) Ethan Phillips, (Neelix) Chase Masterson, (Leeta the Dabo girl on DS9) Casey Biggs, (Damar DS9) and Vaughn, the Admiral on Enterprise. I can't remember his last name and he's in the net cafe right now looking at me and I'm too embarassed to ask him his last name. So far, Casey Biggs has been the stand out actor who is really interacting with the fans.

We had a party in one of the suites today. Our friends Nancy and Janet ordered way too much food and had fine Australian wine that they wanted to share, so there we were. A mini party before the group picture with a wonderful sunset as we sailed away from Key West. That's the quick report for the day.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

Image
Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
