Cruise Day 6 and Link to PICTURES!!

What a day. We woke up around 4:30 am or so and neither one of use could get back to sleep, despite trying. We went up to deck 10 and took some pictures. The sun was starting to show and we went back down to the room to see what time sunrise was.

I took some movies of the elevator ride up and down and might put them on YouTube, or include them in what I’m going to put on YouTube. Sunrise was at 5:40 ish am and it was about 5:30 when we found out so we made our way back up to deck 10.

The sunrise was BEAUTIFUL!!! It was the first one we’d had without any clouds. It was the types of pictures I’d been waiting for. We took a lot of pictures of the sunrise and I took a short movie of it as well. We had a fellow cruiser take a pictures of us with the sunrise in the background. I hope it turns out.

By this time, it was almost breakfast time so we went down to the Windjammer and waited for them to open. I wanted to make a real big pig out of myself since it’s the last meal but I wasn’t able to really. I got full too fast. Oh well.

We went back up to deck 10 and took pictures coming in to Baltimore and the port. I took of a movie of us passing under Key Bridge. It really doesn’t look like we’re going to make it under. It must be really close. Even the movie makes you wonder whether we’re going to run into the bridge. That’s DEFINITELY going on YouTube.

After we were pretty much docked, we went back to our room and sat around until it was time to leave. I had to finish packing and miraculously everything fit. I made sure I was going to be able to carry everything and I will. My big Arnold bag almost caused me to pass out though. I think it was resting on one of the carotid arteries. All is good though.

Getting off wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. We got off on deck 2. I did end up having to rest my Arnold bag on dad’s suitcase to get the pressure off my shoulder. It was really hurting and going numb.

The checkpoints were easy. They had coast guards at the exit and they were facing in and looked VERY serious. I smiled at the one on my side and got nothing in return. The customs guy only asked if I was carrying all my luggage and that was it.

We called Frank when we got out and told him we were ready. While we were waiting, I juggled a bit and tried to call aunt but Ryan’s wasn’t open yet. I’ll try calling around 10 am. I took some pictures of the port and the ship for the last time.

We met Frank and drove on home. I called aunt. She wasn’t at work because she’s not feeling well. I’m so worried she’s going to get fired. I called her at home and we talked for a little while. I told her I”d call her once I got to dad’s house.

When we got in, we took all the luggage upstairs and I called aunt. We talked for about 15 minutes. We made spaghetti and checked email. I had a TON of email and tried to do as many replies as I could. I’ll be able to keep up from now on.

I organized all the pictures into their respective folders, putting pictures of the sip in one folder, pictures of the ocean in another, and so on. That took a while. I also sorted through them and picked out the ones I want online. I haven’t made the pages though. Tomorrow.

We made spaghetti and took a nap. We both CRASHED!!! We didn’t stay up too late tonight either. We’ll have to go grocery shopping tomorrow though. I am not planning on going to the gym until Monday. I need a rest from my vacation first.
