We attended a briefing about how to get off the ship
tomorrow. We will be able to leave at 7:45 but we plan to stay on until the
last minute—about 9 or 9:30. We are just in the way of people who are in a
hurry. Our plane leaves about noon and we already have our seat assignments. We
are flying first to Toronto, then Chicago, then home. I chose the shortest trip
I could find. It’s supposed to be 15 hours total.
We need to put our large bags out in the hall by 1 in the
morning. Once again, the cruise director warned us to leave out a set of
clothes to wear. Someone always forgets to do that.
After that, I went to hear a talk by our Destination
Specialist, Ian Page. I happened to see
him walk by near the main desk after his talk. I had my satisfaction survey
with me and showed him the note I wrote about him: “Good job, Ian and David!”
He seemed pleased.
I also wrote nice things about the Front Desk staff who have
been both helpful and patient with us. They found the big wrench and loaned it
to us several times. Each time they had to fill out a form for us to sign. I
have to take it back by 5 p.m. today but I haven’t been able to get near the
desk. Many people want adjustments to their bills.
Ian always ends his talks with this quote: “Life is not
measured by the breaths you take but by the places and moments that take your
breath away.”
