Day
one: Departure:
We were packed the night before. Lightly, for it was only four days. Pillow bag, two backpacks…his with the
electronics and mine with the meds, and two small rolling suitcases. We have never packed so lightly. Only later
did we both discover that I didn’t count my days right and neither did the
great Geezer. He ran short on underwear
as did I by one day. We both would run
out of long pants as the week went on by.
I can hear you laughing. I’m sort of laughing.
We left early to beat the traffic, and we
found ourselves there two hours early.
Waiting.
Pants.
My tan pants are aged. No rapidly
aging here…they are already there. I
didn’t take this into account as I put them on.
After the first day, they were saggy, baggy, and ephemeral. George?
He forgot to look at the sizes of his pants. Whoops, too small. The wind and surf and other random factors
left the two of us with on pair of pants each for four days…plus dress pants. We each had a few more options when it came
to underwear.
Once onboard, our big adventure was in
finding an electrical plug that would suit the HP Laptop. Afterhours of looking in every corner, we
found only one. It’s opposite the coffee
shop on the promenade. Lunch was
good. Dinner was good. The show was even good. Walking wasn’t good at all. It was as if I had not moved my legs on dry
land for over two months. We slept like
rocks, discovered how the alarm worked, and I found the Continental breakfast
bar. Hurrah.
You two are so funny. And addicted to your computers I think. I vividly recall you saying goodbye to all that.....
ReplyDeleteLove this, and I look forward to hearing more cruise adventure. Happy New Year :)
ReplyDeleteNope, addicted to our pictures. We have to have somewhere to download them hence the laptop. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you learned the trick of turning underwear inside out....no one would know but you two. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like so much fun! I'm glad you had fun in spite of your pants.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, a new traveling pants book!
ReplyDeleteSo,in spite of the hiccups, did you do some relaxing?
ReplyDeleteIt was a good trip
ReplyDeleteHa.. for all of the traveling you two do, you'd think you'd have the packing thing down to a science. I'm sure nobody knew about the undies.. until now. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis all sounds like a ton of fun to me! We just bought a laptop for our travels.
ReplyDeleteGee, the clothing fiasco sounds awful. Lol.
