good morning everone, this is my absolute last post, today is arrival day in New York (Thursday) leaving in an hour for Dallas airport, tomorrow no internet (Friday), the day, we have all waited for and it will be cruise day.  our ship is at sea 58 temperature, gentle breeze, and 23 knots.

Just so everyone knows the forecast calls for rain in the AM continuing Friday into Saturday. Some of it will be heavy. Give yourself enough time to travel and pack you patience. Safe travels everyone.  See everyone Saturday.

We are on our way back to New York.   I told the captain that you are all waiting, so don't forget to stop there and you pick up on our way to the Southern Caribbean. 

Today is a sea day so we decided to sleep late and ordered room service.  This was the first time for this cruise that we did room service.   My wife ordered the bacon, egg and cheese on an English muffin sandwich.  I wish I would have tasted a picture before she started eating, but didn't think about it at the time.  She started to eat it, and then decided to deconstruct it.  I now know why Carnival had a so-called 'bacon shortage'.  This is a picture of what she left after already eating a the egg, the bottom of the English muffin and a few slices of the bacon20230928_091104.thumb.jpg.576ff2db18cdffe4977471aed2683ed7.jpg.

All of that bacon and more was stuffed into that sandwich. 

I remember back in the day when they used to put about one and a half slices of bacon on those things.

I tried fitting my stuff in a carry on, no dice. Taking too many shorts t shirts. I did carry on to Canada last year for 7 days. 

The possible rain messing up my plans to buy the treats Friday before getting to port. Maybe I'll go tomorrow since I'm off from work.

 

lol - I don’t know who I was kidding - there is NO WAY my stuff would all fit into a carry-on. Having to pack for the Caribbean and NYC after the cruise was more challenging than I thought😳 checked bag it is - pray for me that my bag arrives with me in Newark tomorrow morning. See you all soon!

I had to add a checked bag because my patience took up too much space in my carry-on but it’s in there!!

If it happens it happens - don’t stress about treats - just make sure you bring you!

Hey all, hubby and I arrived safely at Hampton Inn Ridgefield. Almost 90 of us here for shuttles in the morning. Took us almost 4hrs to drive here due to traffic. Didn't hit traffic till we were 10 miles from hotel. 🫣 pizza is ordered and we are chilling in our room. 

Nice! Glad you made in safely. Hawaiian pizza? 🤤🤤
