Knot Over!

Well our Grand Voyage is coming to an end.  We are less than 1000 nautical miles from San Diego...  It has been an amazing journey and we are sad that it is almost over...  but it will be nice to see old friends, our dogs and our son in a couple of days.  We will stay in San Diego for a week then home to Texas.
Unfortunately we have had crummy weather this last couple of sea days.  Gloomy, gray and a bit of rain.  Up until then I have managed to walk my mile daily, but...  the first sea day leaving Hawaii coming out the Lido, I slipped, fell and wrenched my knee...  It is MUCH better (I do miss Dr. JoJo tho)even tho I have other aches and pains too from the fall, so no mile walking for me...  I did manage to qualify for the Amsterdam Open golf tourney despite my injury and am the Ladies Champion!  Yea!! Our trivia team continues to do well even if we don't win every day.  We will have 2 more trivia games today and that will be it...<sniff>
All 7 suitcases are just about packed-I have to finish up with the last minute things...  Brian has been on a roll in the casino and has won a bit at the slots.I have not won much at poker but been having a blast with my 'game genie" buddies, Joe & Ryan, playing Fun 21...  today is the last poker tourney and I am not sure I will play, maybe...  Well we will see ya'll soon- I am not sure I am ready to enter the real world again, especially at Christmas time...  I will miss my bed being turned down at night, knowing friends are just upstairs along with the casino, having my own seaview walking track and chocolates on my pillow...  hope this finds you well...  hugs GB
PS: I do have some photos which I will add once we are in San Diego - the ships internet is tooooo slow to handle pics...

  1. Well, you two have had a full fun fantastic trip! Thanks for sharing it with us.
    I don't know what I could have done about the knee - ice, elevate, rest and drugs.

    Welcome home.
    I leave Sunday for the Mexican Riviera cruise with CardPlayer:) Wish me freaking luck!

  2. So how many nautical miles will you have traveled all together from beginning to end? How many weeks have you been gone? Wow, amazing trip, I mean the fall, not November, the knee and all. Maybe you were trying to skip around the deck while it was wet, or something. Anyway, glad you are OK. Apparently, this incident has not slowed you down much. The world has changed since you have been gone. Hope you can catch up in a week in San Diego. It would nice to see you, but not too likely, you sound pretty busy coming home.
