Well, suitcases are packed. Incredible. It went rather quickly this time. Most of my clothes are in one case; included are ten pairs of shoes. But what is a female without shoes…..?
It’s the gifts and paperwork that slow me down. I have been sifting through the piles and writing down so many passwords.
Dad has very kindly offered to drive me to the pier! In Florida! I’ve also been granted special permission for him to have a quick tour before we sail at 5PM. That will be fun!!
