We are back on land, hanging out with the Bro and CJ.  Disembarking was easy, nothing more stressful than waiting our turn.  The only discombooberation was The Family from Hell.  A family of I don’t know how many, on board for a wedding – I saw the bride carrying her wedding gown off ship, wrapped in a plastic bag (the dress, not the bride, although it would have cut down the noise if it had been otherwise).  Other than grandma and granddad, everyone was yelling at each other, making threats, rude noises, and generally behaving like jerks.  And the bride and groom were high up the list in that last sentence.  Holy cow!

Bonnie, Danielle, Jess, and I had a farewell breakfast together.  They were great dinner companions.  We talked about sailing together again.  Make it so. 

Kyle didn’t have any trouble getting into the port.  Arriving at the port three weeks ago was a circus, but I guess we were earlier for departure.  “Elena” took us a different way leaving the port, and we saved a $13 toll.  Hopefully we can remember so we don’t have to go over the Bayonne Bridge anymore (and we have one sailing for next year out of New Jersey, and possibly two).

Traffic down Route 2 coming into Edgewater was horrendous, however, making up for Port Liberty.  It took us an hour to go 7.2 miles!  We bought in one suitcase, watched Jeopardy and Wheel and then played three games of set back – hoes 2, bros 1.  But tomorrow is another day. 

And December is another cruise.  Until then.

TTFN!
