Tuesday on our way to New York

It is Tuesday and we are at sea on our way to New York. The morning started out early around 4:00 AM when Judi woke me from a sound sleep to look at the Northern Lights; I am glad that she did. They were across the sky with the big dipper showing through. Later we had a lot of fun at breakfast. A couple of days ago I mentioned our California friend and our Minneapolis friend. Well we were all together again this morning and the fun and laughter was great, also the food.
We have passed about 40 miles off the coast of Boston and we can see it. Not because of the clear vision, but because of the yellow haze running out toward us. If you have not seen it is awful. The area all around us is clear, no fog, and that area of the sea has a yellow haze above it. Just think that is what those people are breathing.
Today is a sad day, as it is pack up the bags day and hope you are not over weight. We are going home with one more bag than we came with. We did not purchase much, but found out that Amtax will not accept any bags weighing more than 50 pounds. The good thing is that they will let us each bring 3 bags.
We met our good friends from LA this afternoon to say good bye. We hope we can cruise together again someday. It looks like we are coming home to cool weather and rain; they are headed to hot temperatures. I think I will take the rain, thank you.
The weather the last two days has been great. Clear to partly cloudy skies and warm temperatures. Warm enough that we had lunch on our deck this afternoon. The weather in New York is suppose to be good tomorrow and Thuday.
