Looking up at our room as we get back on.   Once on, realize that we are still waiting for people


After waiting for awhile, Rob decides to head up to the room to clean up while Toni stays on deck


Toni still waiting

Rob back from the room, clean and bringing drinks (Pina Colada and an Expresso Martini)

Finally the last excursion and two missing passengers are on board and we pull out.  Captain says it will be full speed ahead.

stopped back at the Crooner's bar and Rob showed Toni that the Expresso Martinis are "on Tap"

But another Pina Colada and the famous Princess Dirty Banana

  Back in the USA Not that warm but way better than when we left Firetruck and ambulance at the dock Breakfast at the buffet One last walk on the Seawalk Leaving the room Heading downstairs Waiting room to disembark In line to get off One last Princess Pic Rob logged out and Crew member waving for Toni Final look at the ship In line for the bus to take us to get a rental car at the Houston Airport Arriving in Houston to get a car Finally got to see a Texas Longhorn Definately was a little hotter than when we left At Dallas airport, they had a whole place for Seve and Dom's team. But the Steeler fan didn't want to eat there.  So there was an Italian place next door and had one of the best Lasagna we ever had.  And then we got to the gate and was happy to see a glimpse of Home Flew near Nashville and then almost over Indian Head and Waldorf as we came into Baltimore. And it is over.  Back home!! Two Cruises in two years

When the Texas tax would be $3.50 for the $3 Rum that Toni bought just because she like the label, we decided to just add it to our afternoon Pina Coladas.  No tax on an empty!!!  One of our World Cruise friends, Assistant Cruise Director Kymee from South Africa The Voice of the Ocean finals Tonight we ate at Vines. Wines with charcuterie board, vegies and then truffles Suitcases out and saying good bye to our Steward, David.  He would be getting off in Galveston also and flying home to the Phillipines.
