NOTE: I am actually posting this update on September 29, 2025, more than three months after Tim and I disembarked from our World Cruise. I had hoped to finish the final postings (as well as the ones for the British Isles) before now, but, alas, it never happened. I told myself I would sleep for a week once we returned home, and then get to work, and I did a pretty good job with the former! The latter, however, not so much. Adjusting to “reality” was very difficult for me, and it took me quite a while to feel “normal” again. I don’t believe I’m the only passenger who felt this way! The fact that Tim and I arrived home to a hotter-than-normal summer also didn’t help my outlook! Anyway, enough complaining and excuses! It’s time to wrap up the posts about this incredible voyage!
Today is our second of three days at sea as we make our way south towards North America. Halifax, Nova Scotia, will be our final port-of-call and our only stop in Canada before we arrive in New York City on June 17. Our New York Disembarkation Briefing this morning was another reminder that the end of our World Cruise is approaching way too quickly.
I have not yet begun to pack, but I did take time to sort through some of the things that I plan to leave behind and donate to the crew. Since I have lost weight on this cruise, my larger-size pants made it into the pile.
Today was also a good time to hunt down as many of my favorite crew members as possible and take their photos. These wonderful people, and many others, have become a part of my family, and I will miss them. Photos, at least, will help me remember them and remind me of the wonderful times we had. (I did include a few earlier photos of crew members who had already left the ship, so as not to forget them!)
