April 15, 2010 New York, NY, USA
Tuesday was 6th parade of the chefs; meaning lobster & baked Alaska. Entertainment has been good the last few nights. We played a little bingo & casino. Packing has been the order of the day.
We’ve traveled 42790.4 Nautical miles in 101 days. We used 1631 minutes of internet time.
Our 101st we woke up about 5, did necessary things. Room service delivered breakfast before 5:30. Finished packing, were in the Queens room by 6:30, off the QM2 at 7, at La Guardia, and in the air by 10. The plane had the longest & fastest ride taxiing when we arrived at O’Hare. While waiting for our plane we stroke a conversion with a couple from Brisbane, Australia that were traveling to Madison, Wisconsin to visit people that they had met on another cruise. The departing plane was late getting to O’Hare but we still left only about an hour late. Jan was able to move the flight schedule up, therefore we got to Ft. Wayne about 6:00 instead of 9:00. Chris was the one who drew the long straw and picked us up and brought us home. Home was indeed “Home Sweet Home”
Friday we worked only laundry, mowing, banking, getting & sorting mail, garbage & recycling, clothes to the dry cleaners, etc. Oh yes, taxes. Both cars & the mower all started right off.
