Friday Dec 10, the drake passage is rough. I woke up at 3:00 feeling ill. There was a lecture at 9:30 of the itinerary but I did not feel well enough to attend. We got our parkas at 11:45 today. They told us to wear them like a badge of honor.... I am certain we will. We went to the penguin lecture at 3:00 and midway through, I found a new purpose for the face mask...We ran to our room which is just down the hall from the theater...I did not make it, but the mask worked well. Steve put me to bed and got me a cookie and some seven up. I feared this would happen...I have not been seasick in 20 years. We ordered room service for dinner.
Our tv was working but we had no sound. Our room steward said there was a plug that was disconnected. He fixed it. The internet is...difficult. We are allowed two devices and when not in use we must make sure they are turned off. The captain strongly suggested we turn our phones to airplane mode and make no phone calls because it is expensive.
Concerning electricity. We carry an extension cord with three outlets and another three sockets plug we plug into that it gives us five extra plugs. We found it was more than enough to plug in our phones and laptop and we did not need an adapter in the hotel or on the ship because they do have at least one American plug.
