Alaska Cruise Day 7

Sigh, it's the last day of our wonderful Alaska cruise. Where did the time go? I think this day is the only thing I hate about cruising and I DON'T WANT TO GET OFF!!! :(

We didn't do much today. Walked back through the shops for the last look at everything. Started sorting stuff to pack. I went to the final Art Auction and won another $95.00 print. Thank goodness they are not big, probably measure 11 x 14, so they fit in the suitcase.

I have to tell you that this is the first cruise that we have taken where we boarded with one carry on and checked only two medium suitcases in. I couldn't believe we could pack for seven days in so few suitcases, but then we are part of the "blue jean" crowd now and don't have the clothes we used to have when we had the stick and brick house. Sure made the decision of what to take easier - LOL. We had bought a $39.99 set of luggage at the PX at Fallon NAS and it was expandable, thank goodness. We came off the ship with everything in the three pieces of luggage including all the stuff we bought.

OK, back on track. I also spent a good bit of today on our balcony just watching the scenery go by. I never tired of doing this as it was so pretty and changing.

After dinner and bidding farewell to our table mates, our waiter and bus boy, we went to the final show and again stopped by the casino. They aren't dumb, we had to walk through the casino to get to the balcony of the theater, where we preferred to sit. After the show we returned to the cabin to finish packing, showered and got ready for bed. Tomorrow morning is another early day as we have to be out of the cabin by 8 am. So, goodnight.
