Tonight is my last night on the ship. And also the 6th month point from when I signed on.
Tomorrow I am off to the airport and heading back to Vancouver.
Hopefully my way overweight bags can get on the plane with no issues, and no extra fees.
Thank you to everyone who followed my adventures over the last 6 months. I will be back for season 3 on the ships in March.
And check back in February for Vancouver Olympics updates as Canada goes for the gold.

Last good meal on the ship
As I will be going home at then end of this cruise, I decided to have dinner with some friends in the ships main dining room, the Cosmopolitan.
And because it was the last formal night, that means Lobster. And also Baked Alaska. A very good way to spend the evening, and the food was excellent.
After the dinner we decided to see the production show in the theater. I usually don't do to see the shows, and this one I haven't seen before. One of the musical numbers they did was from Titanic. This is a questionable thing to do on a cruise ship at any time. But when we happen to be crossing the Atlantic ocean at the same time, and the ship is rocking back and forth, its definitely a strange song to hear.
There is now just one last day until we reach land again. And its time for me to pack my bags.

Crossing the Mid Atlantic Ridge
There really are not any really interesting points to cross while doing the Atlantic crossing. Not like when I did the Pacific, where I sailed across both the Equator, and the International Date Line.
Today we cross the Mid Atlantic Ridge, a long mountain range that spans the whole length of the ocean. And is the point where the continent of Pangea broke apart from, all those millions of years ago.
Also this is the half way point of our crossing, 2.5 days down, 2.5 to go.

Nothing but Ocean ahead
My ship left its last port, the Canary Islands, last night, and now there is nothing but a long stretch of ocean set out before us.
It will be 5 days before we see any land again.
Then a day after that its across the span of the continent back to home.

Leaving the Med
Last night we passed through the Straits of Gibraltar and now we are sailing along the coast of Africa.
Tomorrow we will dock in Agadir Morocco. Which will be the 3rd continent for me in the last 2 weeks, and my 6th in the last 13 months.
Tomorrow will also be my last port on the mainland before we sail across the Atlantic, with only a stop in the Canary Islands
