Fingers crossed

Well, as far as we know, we are due to leave the dock at 9am tomorrow morning and be loaded onto a ship about 10am. We've been at this point before, of course, but for various reasons we are fairly confident this will go ahead as planned.

We are packed, once again. Since we didn't really unpack since last time, we've hopefully avoided the need to stay up till gone midnight getting ready. It's hot humid and thunderstormy here, there was thunder and lightning for the first time in months, just as we headed for the nearby outdoor pool for a dip. Pool closed until half an hour after the last roll of thunder, but we did go back and splash for twenty minutes before the next cloud bought more lightning and thunder but little rain.

OK, we'll update things tomorrow, hopefully from a hotel!
