Day 13 - Final Sea Day

Today was our final sea day and the last official day of our holiday. Our activities were mostly a repeat of yesterday – laying on the deck or our balcony reading and soaking in the sun before we head back to the freezer that is Minnesota. It was a beautiful day at sea – sunny and 82 degrees Fahrenheit with a slight wind (10 kn). The sea is also very calm today for the first time – we’ve had waves of up to 10 feet most of the trip.

We watched the sun set on the balcony and then headed up for a light dinner from the buffet. We’re still full from our huge dinner last night! We finished off the night with a drink at the bar, and are now back in the cabin. We’re all packed up and will put our bags out soon. We chose to do “Luggage Express” this time, which means that, after we put them out tonight, we won’t see our bags again until we get to the airport in Minneapolis. We have an 11:30 am flight out of Miami so we hope that not having to worry about our bags in the morning will speed things up!

So, another trip has come and gone. We had a great time and have seen some new and beautiful places. Only 90 days until we cruise again in February! There are still cabins available if anyone wants to join us!

P.S. Dad – I think that Dolly must be close to 40, if not a bit older. I think I was in jr. high when you got her, and she wasn’t a baby then. That would mean you’ve had her for about 30 years – do you remember how old she was when you got her? If so, add 30 to that. Love, Karin
