Last Day at Sea - Friday April 29, 2016 and back in port April 30th

After we left  Cozumel, we  sailed all night and day to reach the Port of Tampa on Saturday, the 30th.  We again explored some of the ship's decks and also took refuge in our cabin to  pass the time. We were ready to get back and start our journey home.

Friday morning on the uppermost deck.  Bob had to hold on to the rail to keep from blowing off.  Winds were probably in excess of 30 mph.

 

 

 

 

 I thought my pigtails were going to fly off.  There was a miniature golf course on this deck, but it was impossible to play with the wind.

 

A "foot selfie"...a photo shoot I invented 20 years ago before selfies were popular  (and when my feet were probably less wrinkled!).

Bob at the roulette wheel.  Lady Luck was not at his side.

Our final towel animal visitor was  a gorilla hanging from the air conditioner vent.

Sunset at sea

To our great delight, our long time friends from Bonita, Jack and Angie, met us at Tampa for a short visit.  Their son, Jeremy, lives there, and after visiting with us and later him, they met with their daughter and her family in Bradenton.  We have known Jack and Angie since 1997. They were the ones who encouraged us to do a travel blog back in 2010.  We can't thank them enough for that.  It was great to  see them, and a wonderful way to end our trip!  Hey, guys, there is life after insurance!  :-)
