We are ready for the next adventure!
We were up early and checked every drawer twice before we left the room. Because we had “The Key,” we had breakfast service in the Grille, where we could watch the hustle and bustle of people getting off the ship. We were not in a hurry. We were moving so slowly that a sloth passing by gave us a judgmental look and said, “Come on, folks, I’ve got places to be!”
The room was about 50% full, so it was very quiet!
As we exited the grille, we found a lady holding a key. She got us through the lines in about 20 seconds, and everyone wondered why we passed them by!
Our porter was super! He grabbed everything and took us to the curb. I gave him $50, and he was appreciative! We then waited for our taxi, and we waited and waited. The taxi driver got hung up in traffic for quite a while. We were the only remaining passengers leaving the ship when the driver arrived.
While loading the bag, our original ported ran up from another job and said, “These are my people; I will load them up!” Our taxi driver loaded one handbag before passing out from the stress.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Joe drove our Tijuana Taxi, his new favorite chick magnet. We thought he would be in the grey Soccer Mom’s van!
Joe may want to keep this car to drive in the desert!
We got home quickly (because we all provided him directions after he went through three clover leaves attempting to avoid traffic). It was live Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride!
Arriving home, we all kissed the Earth and thanked our stars for the safe journey home from the ship. In a cloud of dust and a hearty “Hi Yo Silver,” Senior Joe and his taxi took off again…probably looking for a paying customer!
We sat around all afternoon and visited. The kids did their wash since they are going to see Pete and Lisa tomorrow morning.
Mary fixed a small pastrami sandwich (without the pastrami) to hold us over until later in the evening.
Around 5:00 pm, we went to the Elks and had dinner, but at 7:00 pm, Old Mr. Sandman made a delivery, and by 7:30 pm, we were all in bed sawing logs!
