Day 8 - End of the Cruise

Wednesday February 7
The alarm clock rang early and we got ready. Of course there was no "When & Where" but there was a "Voyage Log". Some information on it:

Captain: Colm Ryan

Cruise Director: Jario Lobo

Officers & Crew: 574

Nationalities of Crew: 38

Miles traveled: 2039

Fuel Used: 110,950 Gallons

Eggs Consumed: 15,000

We had the option to select to be transported to the airport from the ship for a few dollars offered by Holland America Cruise Line. And as everything else it worked like a charm. We had to tell them when our flight was going and were told to disembark shortly after 8 am.
Our luggage was taken care of too.

We had a very long time at the airport. But whether we wasted time at the ship or at the airport didn't really make any difference. After we could check our suitcases we went for a walk outside.

Something in the airport floor I thought was cute. Quilt pattern? Lace pattern?

Later James scouted around and found a lunch place for us. It was not cheap but very good. I only mind if it is expensive and horrible tasting.

Finally we boarded. It was on-time and all was well. Since we had no internet on the ship we could not check in early so we were among the last to board and didn't sit together. But for 2 hours ....

I set next to a lady with a service dog. She told me that she was hearing impaired and the dog was helping her. He didn't say a peep (oh, I mean "woof") the whole flight. But he decided to cuddle up a little next to my thigh. No big deal.

Ben and William picked us up from the airport in Nashville and brought us to the townhouse. We landed earlier then scheduled but they had to circle around twice until we had our luggage.

Thank you, Ben and William!!!
