We're all sad to leave the Panarama. I asked the kids what they would prefer for a next holiday. Road trip, fly somewhere or a cruise. Cruise won out.
After we picked up Kai we went to the atrium to listen to the electric violin trio. Lili and then Fei found us there. We made dinner plans. So sad to leave the dinning room. So much fun in there. Luk tried frog legs and liked them. Gag.
Being Gold cruisers we were all entitled to a fancy drink on the last night. Liquor for adults, frozen for kids.
Fei mentioned the straw was sweet then Kai said yes it's good. We all looked over and he was happily eating the straw. It was cardboard. Eric asked him to spit it out and he refused
while chewing and swallowing frantically. Arg. We were
letting him do kids night for the last party but it was decided right then to just get him to bed instead. He also grabbed Eric's dinner bun and crammed it all in his mouth. Yelled out loud that he had poop in his bum again. Declared the peach soup disgusting and tried to push the bowl away. Eric caught it before it hit the glasses. Then he demanded the waiter take it away. We all thought the cold soup was lovely. He was attempting to eat with his hands. Tried to push his dinner plate away, crashed the glasses but they didn't topple. Then Luk tried talking to him and he was yelling "I know Luk" but he didn't and then loudly told everyone that he had poop in his bum. Eric took him to the washroom.
He didn't. Interesting dinner conversation for the others though. Jia asking why he's like that. They don't notice as much at home. He isn't quite as over the top as he has been on this holiday. He crashed in a few minutes. Luk went to a show with the girls. Eric and I organized and packed in relative peace, aside from Kai's snoring. Kai is definitely
overstimulated. He'll be so happy to be home.
Jia has made three friends and is particularly sad to leave Kyle. She showed us his picture tonight. He lives near Disneyland. I suggested she stay in touch we could see him again. So sweet. She
has been extremely independent on the boat while minding all the rules. It's been amazing to watch.
Lili is off with her 18 to 20 group tonight. Not sure where Fei is. They went to a Broadway show and the comedy club tonight. They've really enjoyed all the
entertainment on board.
There are SOOO many things I wanted to do but ran out of time. Our
bathing suits didn't get wet. No hot tubbing. We didn't play mini golf, or play pool or fuzeball. I didn't go in the library. Do any of the cooking classes. Gamble in the casino or play bingo for cruises.
I didn't even talk to a future cruise planner. We didn't eat in most of the restaurants. Missed all of the movies.
The universe owes us a do over. I'm grateful for the all the good parts. We were
together, fun was had and we survived.
Lili is convinced we had norovirus. Maybe.
I did read three chapters of Santa Cruise. The novel I downloaded. It was boring.
I doubt I'll bother finishing it.
We're off the boat early tomorrow.
