We have our last Sea day today and I want to enjoy it as much as I can while still getting all the "requireds" done.
Our last breakfast together gets the day off right.
View from Center Stage. Last time I was on this ship, these windows weren't working. I do love them.
Farewell from Phillip, our cabin steward.
I've paid my bill in cash (did pretty well in the casino this cruise) and packed up a lot of my stuff. Now, lunch is at Bonsai Sushi. Yum, but can't eat too much as we have Chef's Table coming up tonight.
I've found a little place to sit that I missed before. Walked by it I don't know how many times and overlooked it.
The Platinum and Diamond reception is this afternoon and I went and enjoyed. Yep, out all alone.
Gwen and I spend some time just chatting - that means pics, right? The back of the elephant. Stuff around Center Stage - ready for tonight's show.
The rest of the elephant, hahahaha.
We're dressed and ready for Chef's Table. Into the kitchen for our chocolate melting cake lesson.

As always, everything was amazing. After dinner, quick change, close the suitcase, and place in hall for pick up. We're about done. I'm kinda sad, but have so much on my mind tonight that it's time for me to be in contact with family and make plans. Love friends so very much.
18th - When we wake, we are already in Galveston.
One final look at our towel menagerie.
I managed to complete the necklace once again and have a whole set to take home.
Leaving the ship was a bit hectic and I lost my patience at one point, but this was a fabulous trip. I couldn't have asked for more. Love these ladies more than I can tell anyone.
See y'all later.
I would just like to get out of Galveston - goodness, what a hold up.
Lunch stop at Whistlestop Cafe - so, very good.
Final Woody's stop - Kelly saving my parking space.
Parting in Ennis. I have the final leg alone and am sad to see them go. Until next time, my friends. Where would I be without you - especially right now. Love to all.
