We have had a lovely time today,special moments, this morning we attended the Leaving Information session, and it began with all the silly things people ask on board, like....Do the Crew Sleep on the Ship, and How do I know which pictures are mine.. in the Photo Gallery....and much more, all so typical, at the end after the important info, they sang Love in Any Language,and then were joined by a large contingent of the crew who all fare welled us singing the song as well, it was so special, and talked about how we can all exist together peacefully, so why not the world, well yes ,and I forgave all the loud Americans who in their own country are so well mannered, and here they are anything but. !! Our Cabin attendants came to say goodbye, and we said they were like our Family ,waiting for us to come home,and asking what we has seen, taking care of us so well, dear souls. Lunch was in the Dining room we hadn't bothered before, but the Mariners lunch for returning Cruisers,so we sat at the windows at the stern, looking out at the wake and had a lovely meal, all so memorable.
We are all packed and organised, have co existed well in the small space, where Sam knows to put everything away..its a boat.. and be ultra tidy...wonder why that doesn't happen at home...may implement new rules... Its been a time of such highs and lows, and we will never forget,and hope one day you can all share this experience, Lots of Love, Faye and Sam. Cetrece, so pleased you have your nice TV..

On to your next experience, what a wonderful time, as you say full of the highs and lows that make up the life we must all experience. LOL Thel
Its been wonderful to trave with you in a way.have just read your itinerary and you have 3days in Copenhagen before your next sea adventure.Look forward to more of your interesting updates LOL H@Jxx
Sorry to add something sad, but Ngaire passed away peacefully at home, yesterday, Thursday. Michelle has been there the last week. Gary seems to be coping very well and in one way it will be a relief.
I have spoken with Mum a couple of times. I was rather concerned because of the neck and arm pain, but yesterday she had walked to the hairdressers, carrying her umbrella, in the rain. She had taken up their suggestion to get a taxi home and didn't mention the arm. She loved the letters and card and hears from Christian often.
Well...you will be looking forward to meeting the relatives...you will be very good at sign language after a few days(Ha,Ha).Then the next part of your journey which will be very spectacular I am sure.That is sad news about Ngaire...another sad loss.......it's never ending!!!
Sounds like Grandma is coping along fine...so thats good,Thelma sounds like they are having a great adventure too.Well better get back to work.......awaiting the arrival of a forensic Pysch patient.....I had a laugh yesterday when I wrote as it wouldn't let me type in a profanity...it was only "Pi_ _ ed off"...very strict!!!
Luv Cetrece
