As some of you may remember, my wife and I scheduled, and due to the pandemic canceled, 5 cruises in 2020-2022. In August 2022, we finally set one for departure Feb 3 and waited 1.5 yrs for it to arrive so we could celebrate our 25th. Departed from Ft Lauderdale and had a wonderful time. Aruba, Bonaire, Curacoa. Explored the islands, bought souvenirs.
So, of course....
Tested positive for covid today (just a cold I thought; no fever or aches) and will be in isolation for the last 2 days until Sunday. Just days at sea, though (no stops). Wifey is still negative but she is seasick because we are hitting 6 ft seas until tomorrow afternoon. At least I can get room service for free, but she doesn't. Tonight is lobster night, but she likely won't go. Don't have to dress up anymore, at least.
Fortunately, I love reading on the veranda and watching the waves. And I still have 1/2 liter of Scotch.... Being from Kansas, I think I have genetic immunity to motion sickness--our families survived the rocking wagons onto the Plains, while my wife's ancestors stayed in the east on stationary ground.
We are probably done with cruising. Nice while it lasted....
Driving 500 miles back home on Sunday, hopefully in time for Chiefs!
