Ed was up at 7:30am as we gained an hour of sleep and it was a good thing because deck chairs were going fast.
Barb came up shortly after that and it was a beautiful day at sea – calm winds and about 80 degrees.
There were a couple of empty chairs in front of us and a couple sat down and we realized that we had been in the Jacuzzi with him yesterday and they were from Boston.
To make a long story short, we were talking about what we did and Ed mentioned Bloomington Gold. They knew about the show and he said that he has always wanted a ’03 Anniversary Convertible.
After he found out that Barb had one, we spent about an hour talking Corvettes. He is planning on going to Mecum’s Houston auction so I gave him the name of the Corvette expert with the staff there. It’s a small world.
We then ate healthy at the Aqua Spa, stayed out until 2pm and came inside and packed. We packed in record time and then changed clothes and went for a walk around the ship.
The show was early and it was just fair.
As we do, we met Jeff and Vera for dinner and it is always sad saying good bye to such a great staff as we had at dinner.
We then went to the casino for the closing session of this trip, knowing that we were a little up and hoping to improve.
Barb lost at the slots, but is up a little for the trip, which is great. Ed started with a huge losing streak and changed tables. With only $200 or his original money, he quickly had a huge streak which puts us up significantly for the trip - WOW.
We are finishing packing and will be leaving the ship at about 9am. Our plans are to go check in at the airport and then take the Marriott shuttle to one of their hotels, lay out by their pool, eat lunch and then take the shuttle back to the airport for a 5pm flight which will get us home before 10pm tomorrow.
It has been a wonderful trip. We loved seeing our old friends Jeff and Vera and also friends both old and new in the casino.
It was a great trip – see everyone at home.
