End of the road: Blighty!

Technical difficulty — trying once again to go live with this.

Wouldn’t you know: After all the technical difficulties I've suffered through,

I'd get a glitch on the last actual cruise post!

May 4-5, 2018

After two days at sea — 48 hours to obsess about packing — I arrived at the port of Greenwich, where I met my dear cousins Laurie and Patricia, who drove up from Kent to have lunch and give me packing advice.

Way back in January, I had met another Nash cousin, Joan, and her husband, in LA. We’d spent a great day together at the Getty. Now, full circle, I met these two darlings. (Laurie and I ‘met’ on Facebook early in ’17, when I was planning a trip to the U.K.)

We took a long walk around the Old Royal Naval College, had a traditional pub lunch, and bid a fond adieu.

Next day, last day: After claiming our bags shoreside (now that was fun!)...

... our nice driver took advantage of the empty Saturday 6:30 a.m. streets and took a spin through downtown London...​

​... en route to Heathrow and... (sigh) home.

Though England was the end of the road, there will be one or two more posts to wrap up Passepartout Parts One & Two: Around the World in 144 Days.

Thank you all for keeping me company. I have truly loved having you along!

What next? I’ll let you all know when Passepartout Part Three: Around the World in 128 Days hits the airwaves!
