I called the Amtrak agent this morning one more time to see
if she had heard anything from FedEx, and she hadn't. She said she had been calling all morning and
there was no answer. She figured they
did not work on the weekend. I gave her
our home address, and said if she heard from FedEx to ship the suitcase back to
Oregon. I have a feeling I'll never get it back. So I decided it was time to go shopping. I bought two pairs of shorts, two tops, and a
casual dress. Since we had put David's
lightweight walking shoes in my bag, we had to replace those as well. I didn't replace the formal wear. We'll just eat our meals in the Horizon
Court buffet, which was our plan anyway, except
for the formal nights.
We arrived at the cruise terminal at 12:30 but the lines were very slow. We finally boarded at 3:00. We were told
that it took so long because there were so many documents to check for each
passenger. Besides passports, there were
visas from Brazil
and Argentina. But we suspect it was more a case of understaffing.
There were five other ships in Ft. Lauderdale. They all left before we did.
We were scheduled to leave at 4:00 but we actually left at 7:10. We're off to St. Thomas.
