Wednesday, March 4. Lovely day. 23 C.
Not a good day for either of as as the packing is quite complicated for a variety of reasons. First, the majority of the cases and our clothing is staying on the ship until this ship docks in San Diego April 7 when our 93 day cruise ends. I complicated things by pulling the pin after 64 days, in Sydney on our second day there. That is this Saturday, when we fly home.
In that luggage, there cannot be any liquid or creams. On the plane, in our bags we have as carry-ons any liquids cannot be over the tiny 100ml size. We can however have liquids and creams as 'checked luggage' on the plane with us. That is the only way we can get some stuff home, sad to say.
It makes for an awkward trip on Saturday afternoon when we leave the ship with 'too much damn luggage'. It will also be the same at Vancouver until we are in Wally's hands. Small price to pay I would say. It was a tough day, mostly for Fellette, as she does a terrific job of packing but it got a bit too complicated today methinks! Maybe our age has something to do with it all. Ya think?
We went out for dinner tonight with an interesting Canadian couple from Ontario. There names are, oddly enough, Jim and Gail, the same as our good sailing friends for over 20 years!
To me, the trip is over, except we are not yet home, we still have a few bumps to go yet.
Often, or usually at the end of a long cruise, I used to get rather mixed feelings about homecoming or, coming home. Not so this time! It can't come soon enough. This I know is age-related. Sorry, nobody who has not reached 90 and has not walked in my shoes for 90 years would ever be able to understand it!
Three more sleeps.
A Very Draining But Good Day.
