EPILOGUE – April 12th
<p>Canada It was my mother in law’s 90th birthday, and the whole family was coming together in Toronto to celebrate with her. After 3 hours sleep we drove to the airport again to catch our flight there. After 3 blissful months at sea it was hard to…</p>

DAY 92 – April 6th
<p>The day they made us leave the ship……………….. There was no wide-open ocean outside the window this morning, no volcanoes or opera houses. There was, however, the San Pedro cruise terminal and LA smog. Yes, that day had come, time to disembark. I went down…</p>

DAY 91 – April 5th
<p>Last Sea Day Under ideal circumstances we would have packed first, and then spent the day enjoying the ship. We couldn’t bring ourselves to pack, so ended up enjoying the ship instead. We heard the noon whistle for the last time. Oh how I have looked…</p>

DAY 90 – April 4th
<p>San Francisco Day 2 Today dawned bright and sunny again. Every other time we have been to San Francisco the weather has been awful, cold, damp, and foggy – and I have several San Francisco sweatshirts to show for it. This time I was prepared with all of my winter…</p>

DAY 89 – April 3rd
<p>San Francisco Day 1 The gale continued over night and there was a fair bit of pitching and rolling. However, when we got up at 6:00 the sea was calm and the only evidence of the stormy night was another shattered window in the Winter Garden. Although we did not…</p>

DAY 88 – April 2nd
<p>At Sea Although the sea is a deep blue, with the large waves and white horses it looks more like we are in the middle of a transatlantic winter crossing. It is cold and windy out on deck too. We have certainly left the tropics alas. During the day I carry a tote bag…</p>

DAY 87 – April 1st
<p>At Sea April Fools Day Our younger son has played April Fools jokes on his gullible mother for many years, but it looks like I will get through today without being tricked by him. Another reason to go on a world cruise. However, some poor souls were involved in a…</p>

DAY 86 – March 31st
<p>At Sea “It’s like the end of the world, and we are the only survivors”, quote from the man sitting next to me in the Commodore Club. We have not seen another ship while we are at sea since we left Sydney. However, things are changing. Out there on the blue horizon is…</p>

DAY 85 – March 30th
<p>At Sea Boat Building Day After I returned from my craft session our boat building team, Rod, Deborah, Martin, Rita and the 2 of us reconvened in our cabin to construct our ship. We made some minimal alterations to our original plan, and set about the task of the…</p>

DAY 84 – March 29th
<p>Hilo, Hawaii We had booked the volcano hiking tour, which I discovered was a rather over optimistic plan when I read the small print that stated that the hike was into the bottom of the crater, and then back out again. I had thought it would just be a nice little…</p>

DAY 83 – March 28th
<p>Honolulu, Hawaii I had hoped that we would be docked at the Aloha Tower. I have been to Honolulu twice by ship previously, and that’s where we were. Not this time, it was Pier 2 for us. We were instructed to go to the Queens Room between 7:15 and 8:15 to clear…</p>
