AT SEA, Thursday, April 17

Starting to pack today. Unfortunately the seas are not cooperating. We have 12 foot swells and doing anything is not easy. Weather much cooler now, more like home. Atmosphere on the ship has changed, everyone in a "moving on" mode. Some are taking the Queen Mary back, some are staying in London, some are staying on the ship and going back to the Med, others have already left the ship in France. Not to many going directly home as we are. Good-byes are awful, a lot of camaraderie has developed after 100 days of seeing each other morning, noon & night. We have experienced the world together and have made many friends in the process.
