Hi Bill and Mary Ann! I love following your adventures and thought it had been awhile for the WC.
Amazing about the luggage amount and weight change! So, in total, how many bags are you going to have on the ship? Sorry, but I could not keep track...lol.
That was a great idea about the locked mailbox! It must have been awful having mail going every which way, but at least now you will have piece of mind about that.
I like it that you arrive a few days ahead, because it seems in this day and time, more and more things seem to pop up.
Can you tell me how your overland works? I know you have done safaris before and I always love to hear your plans.
I wondered about covid testing on WCs. We went on a Princess cruise, 25 days and the requirement then was cruises longer than 15 days had to get pre-cruise testing, at least for Princess. That is one thing that still makes me cringe, having to worry about the thing that could cause problems. It is good that you got your recent vaccines. Fingers crossed for a negative result.
I want to thank you for doing your blog and can't wait to while away the time reading of your adventure once again! Bon voyage and smooth sailing!
I am sorry to hear about the passing of your friend!
