MS Zuiderdam Sail-Away Nov 28, 2014

And generally when I am going to the fabric store, it is for fabric to make gifts for NEXT year. If I have not started this years presents (generally around July) it is too late to have every thing finished by Christmas. Although two years ago I was in my hotel room with my mini sewing machine at 1am Christmas morning finishing stuff.

Checking In

Welcome back KK, hope you had a good cruise.

Not sure I've ever cut things that fine. :eek:

Seems to be a lot of vehicular movement and a few people wandering around close to the aft. We need a zoom, please.

I must be dreaming... Leaving early...

:d :d

That was fast. I didn't even hear any orders to drop lines.

Wow, this has got to be one of the few early departures we've ever had.

Me neither. :rolleyes:

Whew, checking in! Was just purchasing a couple more excursions for our upcoming cruise.:rolleyes:

I, also, would have a heart attack getting to the ship within 15 minutes of departure!:eek: I am of the belief that "why stress yourself out...arrive AT LEAST a day prior".....ahh the beginning of a nice cruise rather than OMG we made it!;)

Have not seen an early departure for a long time.

And she is backing up.

Wish I knew how to quilt or sew (other than hemming) for that matter.....maybe I will have to learn as it sounds so relaxing and a great idea to make something for others!:)

Exactly!

Exactly!

Kathi, I remember reading your blog and being so envious of you girls sitting around chatting and creating! I thought if I had been there I could have watched and learned!

There is not a week that goes by that I don't revisit your blog and reread about your trip!

Made it.

Won't be long and she will be moving forward.

Made it.

Just in time Carol.

Cutting it close, but I made it.

Happy day after Turkey feast day and Happy Sailaway day.

Thanks for reading the blog.

Why don't you join us on the QE? Even if you don't want to work on anything you can still sit and chat! It is a great way to meet some new people and get the latest gossip!;)

Forward motion and hopefully some nice toots coming up.

She is heading into the channel.

She is moving out fast.

Thanks for reading the blog.

You did a great job and I loved the way you had pictures and wrote about it all on the same page without scrolling!

I may just have to do that..thanks for the suggestion!
