Sea Day

Hello from the last sea day as we make our way back to San Francisco.

This post almost didn’t happen. It’s the first time in this month-long trip where I almost forgot to write about the day. Usually I take notes on my phone throughout the day so I have something to write about at night but somehow I totally forgot about it today.

Being the last sea day it was time to pack so it was a busy one trying to fit everything in the one medium sized suitcase. I had to even unzip and expand the suitcase for the first time in years. Over the course of these three separate cruises I picked up a lot of extra things. Japanese Kit Kats from Hawaii, magnets for my daughter, extra bottles of water, a nice beach bag (along with many other gifts) from the casino. 

It was cold outside so after packing I decided to make it a movie day in the cabin.

The sunshine was deceiving. It was cold!

It wasn’t until pre-dinner drink time that I decided to venture out. Along with tonight’s lemon drop martini I also had some chicken canapés and some tiny little desserts.

But I also couldn’t get away without going to my private dining room one last time. And that’s where I remembered about needing to write a blog post.
The water is deceiving too. It is choppy!
We have gale force winds on our way tonight so we’ve been warned to be super careful, even in our cabins. The door of my safe is already slamming against the closet door so it looks like I’m getting this written just in time. 

Up tomorrow, we’re back in San Francisco. See you there for my disembarkation day.
