TUESDAY, MAY 11TH--LAST DAY AT SEA

This is the final day of our 119 day voyage from San Diego, around the world, to Ft Lauderdale. We are rocking and rolling today which I have found to be normal for this area during previous cruises. We still have some packing to finish and last minute items to get done. Today we will have to say our goodbyes to all the people we have met and become friends with during the four months onboard. When you live so close and see these people almost every day, you get to know them pretty well. Hardest part will be saying our byes to several crew members that have given us special service, and who we now consider to be our friends. As you might expect, this has been an incredible adventure for us and it is going to be hard to top this. What part of the cruise did we enjoy the most? Without doubt, our safari in South Africa. We will be going back for another some day. I hope you have enjoyed this blog as I have spent hours and hours writing it and uploading all the pictures. I enjoyed every minute and now we can relive this experience again and again by rereading my blog. Well, our flight tomorrow is on American Airlines 877 at 12:55 that will land at DFW around 3:15pm. We still have some time left on the cruise however. At 3:15 today there will be a “World Cruise Farewell Variety Show”. Tonight we were invited to a birthday party and dinner for Marji that her husband, Dave, has planned. There will be another post when we arrive back home.
