Day 60 - March 3, 2008 - at sea

On route to Ft. Lauderdale and Port Everglades and our departure from Mariner. It has been an excellent adventure for all of us. We'll be able to live the next decade on our memories. We picked a great Big O circumnavigation for our Big O birthdays. We suffered fairly rough seas with big rolling swells for most of the day. It made major packing projects a challenge! There was a pretty light schedule onboard, guess they knew we'd be busy. Debbie and Clay did make it to the 3pm Big Screen Popcorn Movie in Constellation Theater of Carousel. Somehow none of us had seen it before. Margie skipped lunch and the movie to lie down and keep herself going with the motion sickness to get packed. We all went down for big breakfast in Compass Rose. Tonight is Country Club Casual. Good thing! At 6:15pm there is a final Theater at Sea performance. Encore! Encore! is the show. Starring Ed Asner, Nat Chandler, George Dvorsky, Shirley Jones, Karen Mason, Patricia Neal, Susan Powell,  and Thelma Ruby, with Norman Duttweiller, Marilyn Langner. It was a good show and we enjoyed it. After dinner, they are showing the movie Things We Lost in the Fire. None of us plan to go. We have a last DVD we have been waiting to get a hold of and plan to watch it tonight after dinner. Brokeback Mountain.

We ate pretty lightly at dinner in Compass Rose. Bryan Townsend sent us off from the final show to our Last Supper. We got all our luggage out in the hall after dinner and then Brokeback Mountain. We finished just before the 11pm DVD return deadline. Just after 11pm, the luggage was still not being picked up yet. So, to bed since we will probably be up early in the morning to get off Mariner.
