Day 14 - last day

I just noticed that I said that yesterday was our final sea day, but that was an error. Today was officially our last sea day - we'll dock in Long Beach about 8 am Sunday morning. We've just finished packing up most of our things. No small feat after spending 2 weeks in this same cabin! We'll put our bags outside of our cabin tonight before we go to bed and then we won't see them again until we get to customs in the Long Beach terminal.

As for today, another lazy day. I spent about 3 hours in the gym this morning and then we lounged around reading. Andrew had his last burrito from the burrito bar, and we said goodbye to some of the crew we have gotten to know over the past 2 weeks. They have catered to our every need and made our voyage memorable!

Tonight we'll have dinner at the buffet, as we've packed up all but what we're wearing and clothes for tomorrow. Then we'll turn in early and in anticipation of our long trip home tomorrow. Unfortunately, we were not able to get a direct flight home that left LA late enough in the day. This means that we fly out of LAX at 1:30 pm, and don't arrive home until about 10:30 pm. I'm looking forward to seeing the boys and, especially, to sleeping in my own bed. "Carnival Comfort Bed" is a misnomer, as I'm sure you've heard me say before!

Thanks for following along on our trip. Our next scheduled voyage will be in Europe in October 2011. We fly to Venice on October 15th, and 3 days later, we will embark on a 18-night cruise to various ports in Italy, France, Spain and Portugal. Then 6-days of sailing across the Atlantic to end in Fort Lauderdale. In all, it will be 22 day trip - watch and see if everyone comes out alive!
