We made it all the way around the world in 180 days!

We had to leave the ship at 3 AM to make a 6 AM flight in San Francisco. We thought we would be the only ones leaving that early but there were others. Our two cruise directors-Ray and Dottie-for the voyage were also awake and hugged us goodbye at the gangway. That was unexpected at that hour, but lovely to see them, say “see you again” and thank them. Our flights were on time and uneventful and we arrived home about 6:30 PM. We have some luggage being shipped here to Florida and some to NJ where we will spend the rest of the summer. So far, they look like they are on their way.

I promised to post pictures of the paintings that I did in the artist’s loft during the last segment of the cruise. We had the artist to give us lessons and several mediums to try. Some of the people did an amazing job. It was fun, but no natural talent here!

We were invited to be part of this video which was posted on the Oceania Facebook page. We were happy to share our experiences of this world cruise.https://www.facebook.com/oceaniacruisesuk/videos/747608877322781/

Memories of this wonderful trip and the people and places along the way will live with us forever. Thank you, Oceania.
