a little excitement perhaps?

We’re anchored off Suva
This is a special post in case some folks might be concerned. It is about 8 am and we are anchored in the harbor of Suva, Fiji. Because of the earthquake in Chile and the tsunami which is spreading over the Pacific at the rate of 500 mph, we are unable to do anything until after the tsunami warning is removed in approximately 2 hours. The tsunami wave is expected to be 9 ft high so this will be another experience for our memory log of our travels. Although Suva is not on the Eastern side of the islands, there can be repercussions. American Samoa is directly East of us and it is also under warning.
If we’re lucky, we’ll be able to continue our tours after the warning is lifted and the time in pier can be extended. Otherwise we’ll roll with the punches.
I feel sorry for the cruise staff because suddenly they have to scare up some activities to entertain the passengers. Since so many of us were preparing to go on tours, we were up and already dressed. We always order room service when we have tours so we had already finished breakfast. JJ, the Cruise director has just come on in the cabins, a very unusual way they make announcements.
