At Sea – It’s packing-up day already! This cruise has gone by very quickly. When we came back from breakfast, our suitcases were laid out on the bed, ready for us. I didn’t think we’d acquired much, but it’s still challenging getting everything organized and in. Larry retrieved our passports while I did a quick craft class to make an origami penguin. He also redeemed our rewards points for a straw sun hat and a tee shirt. We have to put out our checked and carry-on luggage tonight and hold onto a daypack for our Santiago tour tomorrow. The ocean is a bit rough again, but certainly manageable and it’ll rock us to sleep one last time. The captain, however, is ill. Not sea-sick, we assume. The afternoon movie was an old one – Happy Feet. I had a quick farewell with the trivia group, then Larry and I enjoyed an early show with the flute-playing woman from a few nights ago. Dinner was leisurely and enjoyable, with farewells to the Compass Rose staff. Then it was final packing and bags out before a movie in our suite and lights out.
