quote:(WTG Juju, well you have been around the past few days)
Yeah, we had nine sea days between departing Japan and arriving Seattle, then one port day got cancelled, so we had 10 sea days (we enjoy sea days), AND I had an internet package for this leg of our trip, so I got time to visit here. I may be absent for a bit more when we return home with restoring daily life there.
