January 10: a few extras

Just a few odd things to mention before I may go silent for the next 8 days as we travel the Pacific in search of land! We have been receiving gifts along the way from the Captain and crew (HAL)...so far, in addition to the real Panama hats (that probably won't make it home), we have each gotten messenger bags (nice ones!), Moleskin travel journals, neck wallets for our key cards and from our travel agency very nice carry bags and windbreakers!
At each port we are given small cards with currency-equivalents and a few phrases we might need for taxi drivers, etc. in the native language...i.e. Where is an Internet cafe? Where is a toilet? Etc. The phrases are in their language so all we have to do is point. It also has our ship location and emergency info.
