108 days. We’ve seen poverty, we’ve seen determination. We’ve seen sadness, but then we’ve seen hope. But most of all, we’ve seen love. The people we’ve encountered over these last couple of months will last in our memories. Not only within the countries, but in our community.
We have become a family, with sisters and brothers from every state, race, and ethnicity. More than ever we realize that the world isn’t as big as we thought. We are all just people, trying to get by and enjoy the most out of life. Well, tonight I think we can all agree that we are living the dream. Look around us. Friends, food, and an experience of a lifetime to reflect on. We are nearing the end of our voyage. Soak up every last minute and appreciate it for what it’s worth. In the end, we have so much to be thankful for. We officially join the 1 percent that circumnavigates the world. Congratulations. Now for the toast.’
So here it is. After a day of sorting through tickets, then blowing up disgusting amounts balloons- it was time to get dolled up and eat ACTUAL food. Big, I know. I didn’t tell any of my friends that I was doing a little speech, so I surprised them with that. Hence the Hallmark Moment. The entire ship felt like a prom or –worse- a goodbye dinner. Everyone was taking pictures. Dinner was phenomenal, but far too fast. By the time I had finished my filet mignon, I realized it was over. There was live music in the piano lounge. We had palm readers, tarot cards, pictures with the captain, and karaoke. Then after working a bit, and the second seating was finished, there was two dances and dessert buffet lining Tymitz Square. I wish life was like a ball every day. Haha…And they sailed on happily ever after.
