We are sailing on the ocean all day today. I got up and went to the group meeting to teach us how the debarment process works. We will carry our own luggage off and be in the second group that debarks. The first group is the group that has a flight before noon. Our flight is at 2:00 and we have a 9:00 bus to take us to the airport. We will have to be packed and ready to go by 7:45. They will call us by deck number and will debark about 8:00 ish.
I think I am feeling a bit seasick today. I keep having little dizzy spells that feel motion related. I have been able to eat so not sick to my stomach but feeling a bit tipsy. It is cloudy and the ocean is a bit stirred up today, although certainly not rough by any means.
The weather for the cruise has been OK but not great. The first day was bright and sunny but since then it has been very foggy in the mornings and overcast in the afternoons. I am grateful I brought along my sweater as I have rarely had it off. I could have use sweat pants for the evenings. Not good suntanning weather. Beats the heat I hear KS is having this week though.
Ellexia and I checked out the shops on board today. To my surprise she didn’t find anything to buy. She still has a bit of money left from the money her parents gave her for spending money for the trip. Maybe she will find something at the airport. We will have a couple of hours to kill tomorrow so will have time to do some shopping there.
I haven’t seen much of Lex today. She found a group of friends to hang with. I go looking for her about every hour or so and put my eyes on her. She looks like she is having fun. They stop and get food when they get hungry, swim, go down the water slide and just hang out. I’m glad she found some kiddos to hang with. I am a bit boring for her after a while.
I trust Ellexia has created some memories that will last a lifetime for her. Tagen still talks about things that we did when I took him back east when he was 10.
Tagen picked up his pickup today. The cost of the repair was about what I expected. He said the blinkers aren’t working and he was having trouble getting the key out. This pickup will teach him a lot. It is a 1987 so hopefully he will be able to work on it some himself.
No plans for the evening. I hope to convince Lex to get to bed fairly early tonight as we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow. She stayed out until 1:00 last night, came in and fell right to sleep and slept until almost 9:30 this morning. She has been swimming a lot today so hoping she will wear herself out and be ready for bed a bit earlier tonight.
Just got us checked in for our flight tomorrow and have our boarding passes. That feels good! I am ready to head for home.
Grateful for a quiet day on board, grateful Ellexia has some kiddos to pal around with, and grateful this ends tomorrow.
