Road Trip

When my parents suggested there was a cruise coming up I might be interested in joining them on again, for all there wasn't as much time before it to sort of mentally prepare myself for it as before I did come around to thinking the Atlantic Canada and New England destinations sounded interesting. It turned out, though, that this time we wouldn't be flying to board it, but just driving. Writing these words not quite at the halfway point where we're stopping for the night, I'm sort of detached from the usual but not quite in the same way going to the airport would be. Hopefully, the ports ahead will indeed be interesting; this time, there's the slight advantage the cruise will retrace its path back to its first port, so that we won't be trying to take things in over one lone day and then saying goodbye to them.
