BLANKETY-BLANK!! March 12

We attended two fun events which took us through 1:30. We went to a game show called “Blankety Blank” (hence the name of this blog entry) which was a lot of fun! Here’s the deal: We went to a game show this morning called "Blankety-Blank." We were in a team of 6 and there were about 10 other teams we were competing against. They had 3 volunteers from the audience to come up on stage and for each fill-in-the-blank they put up, those three folks secretly wrote down their answers. Each time decided on their answer. For every time our team's answer matched what the any of the three folks on stage had written down, we got a point.

For example: MAIL_______.
One person on stage might write down MAN.
Another might write down BOX.
Another might write down DELIVERY.
(Sometimes they wrote down 3 different answers. Of course, sometimes there were two people who wrote down the same answer. It never happened that all 3 of them wrote down the same answer.)
Then the narrator would call on each group to shout out our answers after the people in the group decided on an answer. The narrator wrote down each team’s answer. After all of the groups had given their answers, he called on the three folks on the stage to show what they had written down. For each time our answer matched one of theirs, we got a point. Well, it turned out that our group (us, an elderly couple as well as two ladies) was in a tie for first place, so we all got a prize: A Princess bag. Guess what the tag on the outside says: ORIENTAL TRADING! That really cracked me up.
It doesn’t take much to entertain a bunch of folks who have been out to sea for 4 days. Ha! It really was a hoot!

After the game, we were part of the audience for the taping of Saturday morning’s “WAKE-UP SHOW’ with Cruise Director David and Deputy Cruise Director Neil. It was an hour long taping with the band, last night’s comedian, the couple who has conducted a lot of the Hawaiian shops on the cruise (lei making, ukulele lessons, hula lessons, etc.) Their names are Dave and Leiahola and are real nice folks. So that hour was fun.



We have a fun evening ahead of us but need to do some work on packing so will say ALOHA for now.
