We
have now received all the instruction on how and what to do to get off the ship
in Friday and Saturday. We actually have one night in harbour before we get off
but still have to get immigration clearance on Friday.
So
today we start the job of packing the suitcases in a good order.
At
breakfast we met a couple who were about to pick up a small RV in SFO and drive
to the East Coast of the USA and back and planning their route on a daily
basis, a bit like us really. So we compared places and routes and it’s the
first adventurous couple we seem to have met on board as most seem to want the
full time safety of the ship in all the dangerous places around the world?
The
first suitcase was finished quite easily as it contained all the stuff we won’t
need any more like all the dresses and Black Tie and monkey suit. We had a
light lunch in the Lido where the pool is but the roof is closed now due to the
weather getting colder.
Finished
packing the second case by mid-afternoon as the sun poured in through the
window and the other two cases can only be finished tomorrow. Tonight we shall
have a casual light dinner in the buffet and watch perhaps the last film we
have which is film about George Harrison, it’s more of a documentary really so
should be interesting although I have a canny feeling that we may have seen it
on TV at some time in the past.
The
pilot from San Francisco port will board about 05.30 ‘ish and we are due to go
under the Golden Gate bridge around 06.30
so will be an early start as we have to collect our ticket to get off
from 07.30 unless they give us the special treatment again which would be good
news.Oops have just learnt we have to queue up so yes an early start.
