It is Wednesday here on the West Coast of the US. I leave tomorrow night. No, I don’t love red-eyes, but that seems to be the only economical way to get from here to St Maarten. And, to answer the next question – I am going to St Maarten because that is where my ship is leaving from. Same lovely ship as last fall and sailing back to Lisbon.
From what I can see, it looks like they have added a port call in the Azores. I like the Azores, but won’t be getting off the ship if I have to do something official and organized rather than wander on my own. There is a really nice notions store on the main square, and a needlework/knitting store up one of the main pedestrian ways if I remember correctly.
Meanwhile. I found my suitcase and swapped it out from George’s which I had half-packed before I figured out it was the wrong one. I have twice as many stitching projects than I could possibly complete, The only reason I have a suitcase is that I really prefer scissors to attempting to use a seam ripper to cut threads. That and I really don’t want all the weight on my back…
Oh, and two jigsaw puzzles that I am donating to the ship. They need better puzzles.
Tomorrow I head to Richmond to get the mandatory COVID test early in the morning, then spend the rest of the day trying to figure out what I have forgotten….
