Our excursion today started at 11:30 so we had a long and leisurely morning before enjoying our 20 minute walk down the boardwalk.
We also visited the Maritime Museum. It was rather sobering seeing the Titanic exhibit AND learning about the 1917 Halifax Explosion, which was 4 times more destructive than the San Francisco earthquake and 10 times worse than the Chicago fire. Hard to imagine ….
We returned to the ship and prepared ourselves for the Halloween festivities.
Our dinner tonight was progressive style with small bites from the buffet and then sushi.
Beth Ann had another meeting the next morning so she returned to our cabin to prepare. I was hoping to watch the Halloween costume competition, but couldn’t find anywhere to sit or stand. So I found a distant seat and worked on this post before the comedic show. He was worth the wait as the comic gave me some good belly laughs.
Friday is our last full day on the ship, and I’m grateful we are at sea, bound for Brooklyn. I want to just soak in the sea before we return to The Big Apple for 4 nights in the financial district.
What an epic trip this has been. And the weather? It will be in the 70’s in NYC, with rain starting Wednesday evening, immediately following our afternoon flight!
My mantra has worked beautifully this trip.
Wow! Looked up the Halifax Explosion. My goodness! What a disaster!! I had never heard of it. Interesting that it lead to a major advertisement in injured eye care.
Love the little devil horns and mouse ears!
You have been so blessed with the weather!
Love, Marty

I was clueless as well. In the museum was a man who was two years old playing at his windowsill when it happened. The window blew in and blinded him. He still became a mechanic.
