We spent the morning packing. We juggled and shifted stuff around until we could get the suitcases under 50 pounds each. They don’t make it easy for you. We packed all of the heavy stuff, Michael’s bridge books and supplies, into the roll-a-board. By the time we were done doing this, it was almost 2 pm in the afternoon!
We spent the rest of the afternoon resting as we had an excursion planned for the evening. The evenings excursion was a boat ride down the Thames River at night. The boat we were on had a top deck that was open to the elements and the bottom deck that was enclosed. In order to get the best view, we sat on top. I wish I had worn my hoodie or a hat – – all of it was packed. It was extremely chilly, but we wanted to get some good pictures. As soon as the boat turned around to go back, it was time to go downstairs and warm up.
After a place has been your home for 4 1/2 months, it was a very sad feeling when we checked back onto board showing our ships card for the last time. For me, the feeling was pretty brief as it meant I am going home.
