Back To Reality - Waaaaaa

This morning we were in the dining room for breakfast at 7 am. Really to early for me to eat much. We sat at a table with 6 others and all complained about being put off the ship today. I don't think I heard any complaints during the whole seven days from anyone.

After breakfast we returned to our cabin to pick up our carry off suitcase and went to the "private departure lounge" that is made available to those who have cruised on Royal Caribbean five or more times. It was nice not to have to wait in the lobby and lounges with the other 1800 passengers.

We finally got off the ship around 9:15 am, caught the shuttle to the parking lot, got the truck loaded with the luggage and headed back to the US.

We were told that Highway 15 crossing (the truck crossing) wait time would be a lot shorter than coming back on I-5. Well, that was a laugh. We sat in line for over 2 and 1/2 hours waiting to get to the boarder. Once through we made it back the the Mobile Suite in about 20 minutes.

In closing this portion of our 'New Adventure' I have to say that we were disappointed that we didn't see any elk, moose, more bears and other wildlife, but here again, just another reason to return by RV when we can take our time and not be on a schedule. That was the hardest part of taking a cruise - everything is scheduled!

Hope you enjoy reliving our cruise with us through these posts and pictures.

Till next time...
