After a long sleep the night before we got up and had our last breakfast of the trip. We put our luggage outside the night before so we were basically ready to go home.
After breakfast we all met and waiting to be called to go get our luggage. One of our friends had had some health problems the night before and was going to have to stay in Florida for a few days. We were all very worried about and and sad to leave her but we knew that God was watching over her and she was fine.
We all basically went our separate ways on the way home. Jerry drove the van again and David and Debbie followed behind us most of the way home. Michelle, one of our friends that was riding with us could not find one of her suitcases so she had to fill out tons of paperwork before she could leave so they could look for it for her. But, believe it or not when we were a little more than half way home she got a phone call from her daughter that a man had mistakenly picked up her luggage and believe it or not he lived right on our way home. We didn't even have to turn off of our main highway. We pulled over at a gas station, he met us there and she had her luggage back. It was truly amazing that out of all the people from all over the US and out of the Country on our cruise the one that picked up her luggage lived only an hour or so from home and he got home and called just before we were to pass his town.
We stopped at Cracker Barrell for lunch and sweet tea. There was no sweet tea on the cruise and being from the South we all love our sweet tea. So, we asked to waitress to bring us several pitchers for sweet tea to drink.The trip home was pretty uneventful. We were all tired but relaxed. We had a good, safe, ride home. We were not in a real rush, we just took our time. We made it back to the church around 7 and it was good to be home. I missed the kids.
