Wrap-Up

Our final few days on The Amsterdam went by quickly. We enjoyed some outstanding meals and wonderful entertainment. My favorite was Phillip Huber and his marionettes.


Not only did he do a remarkable evening performance. There also was a matinee session where we could see and photograph his creations close up. He answered questions about his life and work. He created one of the marionettes for the new Wizard of Oz movie. Can't wait to see it!



But we couldn't spend all of our time being fed and entertained. We tackled the project of packing our bags, happy that we both like to travel light. A few clothing articles went into the wastebasket, ready for retirement after four months of constant wear. We managed to squeeze our souvenirs into nooks and corners of our suitcases.
One standard sized suitcase apiece went home via FedEx.



We each checked one smaller bag at the Ft. Lauderdale airport. Reading material, electronic gadgets, and other essentials came on board with us.

Five boxes of mail greeted us at home



along with an empty fridge and some cobwebs. But our own bed was there, friends and family were nearby, and we didn't even mind that it was snowing!

Thanks for reading this blog.
This is the final entry. It was fun to share our adventure with you.
