In 2001, Linda had organized a cruise as a fundraiser for our church. At the time, we'd discussed a number of options, one of which was a cruise to New England and Canada but, in the end, Bermuda won out. My parents were among those who went on that trip and last year they asked when we were going to New England and Canada. Spurred by that interest, Linda once again took on the challenge of putting a tour together. In the end, 16 people went on this one.

Waiting to disembark - Ugh!

The last day of a cruise always sucks! I woke up before dawn & we were apparently entering the harbor. When I next awoke, we were at the dock & there was a LOT of noise so I closed the door. The alarm went off at 6:30 & got to the Tides dining room just after 7. We were seated at a large table & it took FOREVER to get served. I eventually had to bitch to a head waiter but it was still almost 8 when the food came. This service was truly appalling and left us with a bad last impression.

After grabbing the carry-ons, we headed for the theater as instructed but couldn't get close to it so we stood on deck & I called Harold, the driver. It was about 9:45 by the time we got off the ship & we weren’t on the bus until about 10:15. We stopped for lunch at Bickford's in Vernon, CT & got back to St. Mark's about 4:30.
