The Last Day at Sea Before San Diego

<

Finally, internet service again! Since we will be in San Diego tomorrow I will wait to pick up my emails there. I did post a batch of blogs for the last few days, just so the kids knew I was still kicking. We attended a “Cruise Critics” luncheon today. We were included because before we left I went on the “Cruise Critics” page, online, to ask a packing question. That apparently kicked off the “Roll Call” for the 2012 World Cruise. Who knew? These people are almost like an incestuous cult of professional travelers! They all seem to know each other from past cruises. One couple had spent over 2200 days on various cruises – that is over 6 years at sea! Now those are dedicated cruisers. Many, maybe most, have taken world cruises before. I can see where prepared meals (delivered to your room, if you are too lazy to go out) and someone making your bed and cleaning your place daily could become additive. It is also a very relaxed way to see the world. I do wonder if some of these folks have families back home however. After hearing the amount of time some of these people spent cruising, one man leaned over and whispered, “do you ever wonder if maybe these people are just sort of the high end “homeless”? It’s a thought.
