Checking in.

[Love the beach]

We're here in Fort Lauderdale, and I can see her from our window! Of course we managed to catch a cold on our way here, and are not too happy. We met up with some of the gang this morning, Kazu, Lizzie, Sapper, mumsysailor, all 4of4, and I chatted with Solocanadian on the phone. It was like old home week.

 

Sooo, are you sailaway addicts going to watch today's sailaway in person?

Have a great cruise all!

At last check, Stad Amsterdam was supposed to depart tomorrow around the same time as Westerdam and the other cruise ships. That should spice things up a bit more.

[cruz chic]

You could have asked. :)

 

No, I wouldn't do that. I didn't get gouged by the taxi this time so it's all good.

Sounds like they found a few more pallets to load; about another half hour if I heard correctly.

I am rather surprised that they didn't know the pallets were coming...

Sounds like I may have to leave for the Doctor before sailaway.

Lines going down

[Alcarondas]

Lines are dropping. Here we go.

 

They were right when they said how long it would take to load the last pallets.
