Well, all good things must end. Tomorrow morning we will be back at the port in Ft Lauderdale to end our 72 day cruise. In ways it has been better than our world cruise mainly because we have made many great friends from Australia, Canada, and Europe plus even some Americans.
We have been packing all day long. We have 9 suitcases weighing over 400 pounds total. Over half is being shipped home via FedEx. We have to have the luggage sitting outside our suite by 11pm tonight. I printed our American flight boarding passes for our 1:10pm departure tomorrow.
We are meeting 3 other couples for drinks in the Observation Lounge at 6:15. Then we have a 7pm reservation for dinner in Signatures, the French restaurant. We are not fond of French food but that is where we could get a table for 8. I call dinner the last night of a cruise, "The Last Supper"! It will be fun tonight but at same time really sad.
We tried to book another Regent cruise this afternoon. It would be on Jan 9, 2013 and is a segment of the 2013 world cruise. It is a 66 night cruise from Auckland, New Zealand to Beijing, China. We are on the waitlist for it so not definite.
It has been another fabulous day at sea. This has been one of the over all smoothest cruises to date. Today we have enjoyed smooth seas, deep blue Caribbean water, just some scattered clouds, and temp in the 70's.
Hope you all have enjoyed my blog. It takes a lot of time to do but I really enjoy doing it. The number of "hits" on this blog was 4172. It exceeded my world cruise blog as it had 4085 views. Thanks!!
Next week will be very busy opening mail, preparing income taxes, and seeing podiatrist to fix my ingrown big toe nail. On that note, I better bring this to an end. We have traveled over 25,000 miles in the past 72 glorious days.
