On Our Way Home

This morning was a comedy of errors. Graham had been down to the Purser’s Desk a couple of times to find out what the plans were for disembarking wheelchair clients today and was reassured both times that there would be an announcement made. Usually, the clients in wheelchairs disembark from the casino, however, the casino has been closed for 3 days and is unavailable.

When Graham attempted to call the Purser’s Desk this morning the phone would ring once and then quit??? So, down he went, again and was finally told that we needed to be in the Art Gallery. Now, the Art Gallery is right beside the Purser’s Desk and while we were waiting for assistance, I discovered why Graham wasn’t able to get through earlier – the phones have already been taken out. Advise to all cruisers – to NOT go on a cruise when the ship is going into dry-dock at the end of the cruise.

We did get off (boo hoo) and were able to find our way to our shuttle and back to the hotel where our car had been for the past 2 weeks – unfortunately, Graham parked it under a tree. We don’t know exactly what kind of tree, pu it is a very messy tree and part of it’s mess is extremely sticky!!! We couldn’t wait to find a car wash.

As we were getting ready to leave the hotel having loaded all of our luggage into the car, we both looked up a realized that we had a hitchhiker. A little lizard was staring at us from the hood of the car! A very kind gentleman gently removed our passenger and we were off to Savannah, Georgia.
It was about 9:00 by the time we reached our hotel in Savannah. Ordered some pizza and headed for bed – tomorrow will be a very long day!
