Well, the long awaited day finally arrived….. I woke up very early, once again, but this time it was 2:56 am, a full 16 minutes later than yesterday. Gettting better. My friend Vickie picked me up at the hotel at 10:00 this morning and gave me a ride to the ship. It didn’t take long to check in and then a short wait before boarding. I saw lots of old friends and some of the senior excetives from Holland America Line, including the President & CEO Stein Kruse. Once I got aboard I was home…. It was so nice to see my friends aboard the ms Amsterdam. The day was spent visiting, catching up and of course, snapping the occasional photo. I am almost done unpacking and it is officially time to relax and be excited about the adventures that lie ahead. This is day 1 out of a 221 day voyage, where does the time go? I better start thinging about packing to go home…. I think I’m kidding about that one… Here’s praying that the next 8 days at sea bring a little good weather…. Need sunshine.
Glad you have gotten on the Amsterdam ... home again!
