Today is out last day on board the ship. We spent the afternoon packing up and making sure our suitcases remained under to 50 lb limit. None of the normal sea day activities in the morning, so I sent some time on a treadmill while watching a movie, and Mary read in the Library.
We ended up anchored for the night due to weather preventing the pilots from boarding as well traffic in the narrow, dredged ship channel to Buenos Aires. We finally got under way after 2 pm today and the captain reported we should dock by midnight.
We had some additional requirements from the Argentine government. All passengers with their own flights had to report their information to the ship this evening, and we have to fill out a health form before disembarking tomorrow. On a positive front, the money I paid for our airport transfer is being refunded so the refundable balance in our on board credit accounts keeps growing. We also received a credit for the two ports we missed.
Mary and I went to the Elite appetizer event before dinner since they had a shrimp fountain. And if that was not enough shrimp for Mary, she had more in the buffet!
So now our suitcases are all packed and set out to be picked up, and we are as ready as we can be to head home. We've seen some wonderful sights, and I heartily recommend this cruise to anyone as it is a quite different part of the world. There may be one more blog coming about our travel day home... but after 21 hours in transit plus all the catching up at home, it may take me a few days to get to a final blog entry for this trip.
