Today, we wanted to get up early to watch the sail-in to our home port of Boston, past the lighthouse at the entrance to the harbor and the harbor islands. But we were way ahead of schedule, so even setting a alarm for 5:00 AM was not early enough. We awoke to dawn and found our ship already pulling into the Black Falcon Pier.
Time to say goodbye to our stateroom home for the last 18 days and all the daily routines of shipboard life. It is so nice to be home. As wonderful as vacations are, enough is enough. It’s time to get back to real life. The weather today is Boston at its summer best—beautiful blue skies and low humidity.
We are so much luckier than most of our fellow passengers: they have to deal with taxis, and airport transfers, and where to hide their luggage while they go sightseeing until their flights leave. We simply grab our bags, call Uber, and arrive home in less than an hour.
Thanks for visiting our blog. We hope we have been able to capture a bit of our 2016 adventure to share with you.
