At 10:00 this morning, SIRENA was off Camaguey, Cuba, on a general course of 290°, cruising at just under 18 knots with 125 NM (nautical miles) until #1, when she turned to a more northerly course of 336° for the final 195 NM leg of our passage to Miami.
This morning, my email was full of reminders about tomorrow's return to reality, including:
- instructions on where to meet the agent from LuggageForward to turn over our big bags for shipment home
- confirmation of a car to take us to Ft. Lauderdale airport
- a reminder to download our boarding passes
- confirmation of the car picking us up at Providence airport
If all of these work as planned tomorrow, our trip from the ship to our home will be more fluid, other than a 6+ hour wait for our flight. More on that tomorrow.
Packing after an extended stay in one place is always a hassle, but this time, it was easy since we were headed straight home. Holding back mostly things we would need if we were delayed getting home and things we would need during the next week, Pam and I put everything else in the suitcases being shipped home, lightening the load in our carry-ons and backpacks.
It may be wise to wear a gas mask when the big bags arrive at home, and we open the one containing the dirty laundry since it will have had a week to cook in various warehouses and trucks on its way north.
Before going to bed, we put our suitcases outside our stateroom door. Hopefully, finding them tomorrow in the sea of suitcases in the terminal will not require much sleuthing.
