This was fun! Your singing tour sounds like an amazing experience.That is impressive you brought cookware! I can see how the vastness of the sea could scare anyone, I have never been on a cruise and find even ferry boats or charter boats a bit scary. I once had a small frog hop on my hand in the dark, it was on the door handle of my aunt's car in Florida! I jumped because it was so weird but I am used to the geckos and other creepy crawlies there, my first frog though lol!
