Last full day at sea

Tomorrow we arrive on a private island in the Bahamas and Saturday morning we arrive at Fort Lauderdale to disembark, so this is our official last full day at sea! We got up early and there were very few people out and about (I guess that's what happens when you go to bed at the same time a preschooler would!). I took the opportunity to take some pictures of our favorite places to show you all. After breakfast we wandered around and came back to the room to enjoy our quiet balcony. Once we decided we were ready for lunch, we went to have one last "pub" lunch of fish and chips. Apparently everyone else had the same idea because there was a long long line. We waited, because what else do we have to do? After lunch we went to get our giggles at the art auction but there weren't as many people willing to shell out the big bucks this time so it was kind of dull. We also went to look at the pictures that the camera guys force us to take every time we exit the ship. Oddly enough, we weren't able to find any from the last 8 days. Maybe they inherently know that I'm way too cheap to purchase their crummy $20 picture and therefore don't bother printing them? Or maybe we are so stunningly exquisite that they've submitted our photos to a top modeling agency? Either way, we don't have much to prove we were actually ON the ship. We were both surprised at how very crowded the ship feels today and we are both ready to be away from the crowds. We ended up returning to our balcony again to read a kindle (Jim) and make funny noises to distract people who were reading their kindle (Kari). Tonight was quiet and boring, with a light dinner and movie in our room. We've become little hermit crabs in the evenings, I'm starting to wonder what our room steward thinks of us. Oh and I'm a little embarrassed that we are on a first name basis with the room service girl. We did receive a US Customs form to fill out for Saturday, which really nudged the reality for me that this vacation is winding to an end. Still, I think we're ready to get back home. Hopefully I'll have something interesting to share tomorrow. Below, you'll see a picture of us at our best, our usual breakfast, our feet in an empty elevator (a rare thing since these elevators are usually packed), our favorite pool, a life preserver (I don't know why we included that?), and finally the piazza area. Goodnight!
