The Captain
announced yesterday that we would be late getting into Southampton tomorrow (Friday). We were scheduled to get in at 6:30 AM and
now it will be noon. Needless to say,
this is causing a lot of transportation problems with people scheduled to get
off. For us, it doesn’t matter, we’re
just getting off to do a little shopping.
We have had
a very nice British couple sitting near us at dinner and they were planning to
drive home, their only concern is that it will be dark before they get to their
village. We had fun with them, mostly
plotting how they could get a certain piece of expensive jewelry home without
declaring it to customs.
Starting with
the next leg of the trip we will be moving to a different table that oversees
the rest of the dining room. Where we
are now is a little too stuck in the corner for us.
With the
help of my brother (Ernie), we were able to avert a possible problem in our
basement back home. Through the wonder
of modern technology and security cameras we were able to see some water on the
floor of our basement. Ernie went to
investigate and while he was there, we could see and hear him …from our room…
in the middle of the ocean. Although we
were able to hear him perfectly fine, he couldn’t hear us so I was emailing him
questions and he was speaking the answers.
Kind of cool. Long story short…the
plumbers came today and fixed a corroded valve and all seems well now.
It will be
great to be on dry land tomorrow!
