Since I have spent more than a few days on cruise ships which translates to having to disembark at the end, I have always appreciated having the final day of the cruise be a sea day. It makes for leisurely packing and a chance to spend a few more minutes with friends. And more hours of knitting (or cross-stitching) if you want the real bottom line. But it simply wasn’t working for me today.
After picking stitches back out of a small area for the third time, I hung the idea of getting anything useful done. I had also pretty much packed the night before. Repacking to include the fractal (or fractured) clock just didn’t take all that much time. I wound up setting for an attempted nap and solitaire on the iPad.
There might have been a large goodbye at the end of each theater segment, but I am as likely to go to that as to spend time drinking in a bar. I read for a bit after supper and will leave the electronics till morning…
A very “small ” good-bye would have made it as well when you left today,s deck 5 breakfast neighbors. I was stunned…..
perhaps not everyone also hears the “Tschuss!” or Till next time….
