CRUISING AGAIN, FINALLY! ENCHANTED PRINCESS, HERE WE COME!

 Erie, Pennsylvania

Sunday, March 27, 2022

How  can we contain the excitement?  Just two days from now,  March 29, 2022, we are flying out of Erie to Fort Lauderdale! [Note: Janie hopes there will be time to uber to Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sunrise, Florida on Tuesday].

On Wednesday we will board the Enchanted Princess, a ship still in its inuagural year. Wisconsin friends, Lawrence and Donna are  joining us on this cruise--we sure are looking forward to seeing them!! We cruised the Panama Canal with them on the Regal Princess from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale from January 2-January 17, 2020, just before the big Covid shutdown and we  have not been able to see them since then.

Today we  had to take our pre cruise rapid Covid tests at Walgreen's drive-thru [by appointment].   I sure hope I did it correctly--I coudn't get the package open, TK tried, then back to me to try. Finally I tore the top off. Did I swirl the swab in my nose long enough? I'm worried now until we get the results back in about two hours.

Despite Spring, Mother Nature poured snow on us, starting last night. Despite the snow and ice, we traveled 20 miles to Girard, PA this morning for breakfast with our friends-retired firefighters and their wives. We have been enjoying Sunday breakfast with them for 12 years!
