Day 12 & 13 - At Sea / going home

Tuesday January 14

Deck 3 was heaven. Temperature was just perfect.


Kate and David had their lunch with the captain at noon. At 2 pm was a Show featuring the ship's crew members from the Philippines. It was actually very good.



Later we played cards on deck 9 with "very noisy" people playing dice on the next table and having fun. We teased each other and David  even got kissed by one of the ladies on the cheek. 
We probably participated in Team Trivia and went afterwards the the Crow's Nest for happy hour.

Oh yes, the piano guys after dinner. 


And the singer Colleen Williamson with a different selection at 9:30 pm didn't disappoint either.



We also had some packing to do. Kate was very surprised when we gave them the Five-Crowns game to take home. She was very pleased because she thinks her grandchildren will enjoy it.
Suitcases were supposed to be in front of the cabin doors before midnight. 
11,869 steps thanks to deck 3 rounds.


Wednesday January 15

Oh dear. How did the time go so fast? We were supposed to arrive in Fort Lauderdale at 7 am and I took this photo at 6:42am from our balcony.



Breakfast on deck 9. Suitcases gone of course. Only hand luggage with us. The crew has to prepare the cabins for the next guests.




We had filled out forms a few days earlier with our flight time and were "sorted" by color to leave the ship. When we were called we found our luggage easily.


Of course we had to go through immigration/customs which took Kate and David a little longer. James arranged for a larger Uber for the 4 of us and everything was very easy. As always there comes the waiting after we all were checked in and suitcase-less. 
Here is my attempt at a selfie again.


And then we had to part. What a great time we had together. That's not surprising though because we always do. 

Our flight left on-time at 2 pm from Fort Lauderdale.


Home in good time we could even go for a walk in the neighborhood. 
Surprising 11,522 steps today. But do I dare go on the scale tomorrow morning? 


THE END
