Dawn today was the start of our last day at sea. We really slept in this morning. We only had coffee in the room.
I was able to publish yesterday’s blog on Blog Spot, share
it on Facebook and collect Gerri’s e-mail.
We picked up the Sudoku puzzles at the library and then went
to lunch at the Crown Grill. Today was
the Pub Menu. I had fish and chips while
Gerri had shrimp and chips.
Gerri went with me to the intelligence lecture. Today’s topic was intelligence efforts before
and during the Gulf Wars. I recently finished
Bill O’Reilly’s book, “Killing Lincoln.”
Part of the book outlined Lee’s retreat from Petersburg to Appomattox
and Grant’s pursuit of the Army of Northern Virginia to end the Civil War. What a contrast in the intelligence available
to modern battlefield commanders and what Lee and Grant had at their disposal.
I went to the Internet Café to try to get my e-mail. I did get on the internet but all my e-mail
wouldn’t load. Gerri went to the room to
get started on packing.
At 3:35 we tried to get on the internet to confirm our
flight reservations with Southwest Airlines.
We did get Gerri’s e-mail but wasted time trying to get on the Southwest
website.
We met Rick and Rosie and Hans in the Explorer’s Lounge for
hors d’ouvres and final geocaching talk.
The Princess Theater tonight featured Ric Steele, whom we
had seen before. It was a great show and
included one of my favorite songs, Country Roads and a grand finale with the other entertainers and Cruise Director
Bill Hygate joining Ric singing Sweet Caroline.
At dinner we finished the meal by celebrating our 43rd Wedding
Anniversary early. Tonight was also the
March of the Baked Alaska and recognition of the food service staff. We said goodbye to our table mates and
retired to our room to finish packing.
We have to vacate our room at 8 am and our departure group
doesn’t meet until 11:15 and our flight to Las Vegas is at 3:35 PM.
