Our wake up call was at 7 and it was 73 degrees with 90% humidity under cloudy skies and 6 knot winds. We had coffee on the verandah on last time before dressing to go home. We went to breakfast at 8 and then to the aft deck to await our group number to be called. They finally called it at 9:10 and we went ashore to find our bags among the hundreds in the terminal. Luckily, ours were all very close together, but it took a long time to find a porter with a large cart for our 12 bags. Customs and Immigration went very smoothly and we boarded the bus to the airport at 10:15. Because of some kind of confusion by one passenger, we were delayed leaving the port and were finally off the bus at the airport at 11. We boarded the plane at 11:40, took off at 12 and arrived at DFW at 2:15. We were met by our driver and after the 4 bags we checked came out, we were driven to our house and arrived at 3:15. Casey, our dog, was very happy to see that we had not been kidnapped by pirates.

Day 115 Apr 30 - At Sea
Our wake up call was at 8 so I could attend the disembarkation talk at 10. It was 73 degrees with 80% humidity under mostly sunny skies and 14 knot winds. We had coffee on the verandah and I went to breakfast at 9:10 while Glenda continued to pack. I returned to the cabin and picked up my camera and went to the Queen's Lounge to get a seat where I could take pictures. I came back at 11:15 and to the front desk to get more luggage tags while Glenda called about our safe which we must have locked using the wrong code. I came back and filled out my survey, luggage tags and customs declaration. Glenda went to turn in the survey forms. When she came back, we sealed, tagged, and strapped the shipping luggage and set it outside the door for pickup. We finished what we could before tonight (2 bags to go) at 1:30 and at 2, we went to the casino where we lasted about 20 minutes and then went to the cabin to update yesterday's blog entry and do email. I finished at 3:20 and found out that our flight number and time had changed to 1345 and 12:00 noon. Glenda returned to the cabin at 3:25 and we went to bingo at 3:45 where Don won 33.50 in a split but we got close and failed to bingo again. Before dinner, we went to the Crow's Nest and talked with Don, Rose, Rene, Marylon, Dave, and Kris & Signe. After dinner, we returned and talked with Don, Dave & Ron, Barbie, Kris & Signe, and Aart & Ellen until 11 when we went to the cabin and locked the last bag and put it outside.
