I know I haven’t really been back all that long. I know we had YEARS of going nowhere at all.

Travels Revisited: Pisa
May 3: Portland, England
(Original and secondary itinerary: At Sea)
We were going to be up early anyway because our shore excursion takes us hours away from the ship. But it’s also the day before we fly back to the USA. So that means we also needed our COVID tests. Assigned time: 6-6:15 am. Plenty of time to get tested, go back to our rooms to wait, and for me to have breakfast delivered before our 7:15 excursion departure.

It’s December 2019. Just before Christmas. Just before the world will change quite dramatically.

I was on a fantastic tour, run by CIE. I met lovely people including Robin and Stella from Canada. There was a massive heat wave in parts of the world where air conditioning is rarely a consideration, and chilled cider never tasted so good.
Which is not to say I didn’t enjoy an Irish coffee from time to time.
