We wake up to our last Sea Day! We’re on our way to our last stop, Sydney, Australia. Today will also be packing day. Mike was up most of the night since he has a bad cold and can’t breathe……which means Cathy is up all night too! So, at 6:30 am I get up and decide to walk the deck. As I was walking I saw about 10-12 Hector Dolphins jumping in the waves. They are so cute. They are only about 2-3 feet long.
I walked my 8 laps and then went up to wake up Mike for breakfast. We went up to the Lido Deck and ran into Mom and Dad so we had breakfast with them. After breakfast we all went down to deck 6 for the outlet sale but found “rubbish”! So, nobody got anything and we went and found a lounge chair under the cover to read because it has decided to rain today.
After paying our respects this afternoon to the casino and cashing in our players cards we head up to the room to pack. Now for Mike it is nap time and for me…..I am catching up with this blog and downloading pictures. After watching a movie and catching up on emails we got ready for cocktail hour. We went to Mom and Dad’s room to be surprised by the Eliason’s & Stoutenburg’s holding a Kangaroo Court where they called people out for their discrepancies during the trip and they had to pay a fine! Dad had the idea of donating all of the money to the Breast Cancer Walk!! We raised a total of $500 and Jim Chesler Construction is going to match the amount!! J I am so excited. This is almost half of what I have to raise for 1 of the 3 walks we are fundraising for. J J J We had a fun time with the charges and having Judge Eli, Associate Judge Pip Pecker, Bailiffs Kay and Mort support the cause was great too! Some of the fines were: Mike working during vacation; Pat and Mort forgetting their passports in Dunedin; Tom Curcio (Waldo) always being last on the bus; Kay and Barbara calling Lou with too many questions; Cathy and Rich Stewart hanging their legs out of the train when the sign CLEARLY says not to; Paul and Hideko dressed up for Formal night when it wasn’t Formal night!; Mort having a Fart Machine; Doty group flying to New Zealand a few days early to golf and not joining the golf competition on the ship; Diane getting tipsy on Margratini’s; Alice, Leona & Pam for having medical issues; Dino for having a secret liquor stash; Tom & Lillian for sleeping on the bus while being in a Scottish Town (Dunedin); Lou for scheduling a tour guide in Tauranga, NZ who lives 4 hours out of town and didn’t know the city!; Jim for playing for Ray in the golf tournament; Audrey for eating the most anchovies; Dave & Debbie for forgetting their ship boarding pass on the bus; Bruce for opening his stateroom door naked to hear what the Captain was saying; Jim Graham because nobody saw him until tonight; Gregg & Linda for scheduling so many crazy excursions……and many more. I want to personally thank everyone who took their punishments with pride and donated to a great cause.
Our last dinner on the ship was great with a parade of waiters holding lighted Baked Alaska Dessert.
We said our goodbye’s to the waiters and climbed up to our room to put our luggage out. We will arrive in Sydney about 7:00 am.
