Our last fun day at sea. After breakfast we found a spot on the deck for a day of relaxation and sun bathing. Janet and I attended an informational "debarking" meeting at 11:00. There we learned that the Cuban refugees were awarded political asylum in Mexico, thanks to negotiations with the U.S. So the refugees had gone ashore in Cozumel.
After a day in the sun, we dressed for dinner and sat at our table for the last time. Then we went to the Toulouse Lounge and played Bingo--I just needed ONE more number! The main show consisted of the winners of the Karaoke throughout the week and was very entertaining.
The overnight ride to Galveston was quite choppy and I woke during the night with my first case of seasickness which subsided in an hour or so. We docked early, about 4:00 a.m. and by 6:00 announcements were being made for disembarkment. We got up around 7:30 and went to our last breakfast buffet, then prepared to leave. It was VERY COLD and windy in Galveston which was a shock to our sunkissed bodies. We breezed through customs fairly quickly. Christy was there to pick up Neal, and Janet, Joe and I headed for the shuttle bus. Despite the wintry conditions, our flight was on time and we arrived in Tulsa a couple of minutes early. Tulsa had snow and ice--welcome back!
A great time was had by all and Janet, Joe and I are already talking about our next cruise. Neal however says he had fun, but he'd rather go skiing!!!
