Day 144 of 148 - CRUISING THE ATLANTIC OCEAN (Good News)

 Date: 5/28/2024   Day 144   Sea Day: CRUISING THE ATLANTIC OCEAN

Afternoon Update:  Today is our third sea day with one more remaining before our last port-of-call HAMILTON, BERMUDA.  We emerged this morning out of the stormy low pressure system we had been sailing through yesterday.   It's a beautiful day, mostly sunny in the low 70's.   

Those of you that have been regular reader's of this blog may recall back on day 142, I described some concerns I had with disembarkation on June 1st.   This afternoon I received good news.  The ship will help us off the ship with our luggage to the end of the gain way.  Once on the pier there will be porters to help us from there on through Immigration and Customs.  Once through Customs a Luggage Forwarding  representative will be available to receive our four 50lb bags.  In addition, we will be among the first to disembark at 11 AM as soon as the ship has been cleared.  With this assistance we stand a good chance to be hailing a cab to the airport by 12 noon.  It can take up to an hour and half to go the 23 miles to JFK from Pier 90.  So we stand a good chance to be arriving at the airport between 1:00 - 1:30 PM. That's plenty of time to make our 5 PM non-stop flight to Arizona.  To be honest I have been stressing out a bit about this.  Hopefully tonight I will get a much better night's sleep.
