We got up early, around 6am, to pack. We had breakfast in the buffet and disembarked around 8am. It was difficult as many people were waiting to use the elevators. We had our bags with us and decided to take them down, from Deck 8 to Deck 3, using the stairs. I carried the large bags, one floor at a time. It was hard labor and took a while, but was faster than waiting for the elevators.
In addition to having an insufficient number of serving stations in the buffet, the Vista also has an insufficient number of elevators.
Once through the passport check, getting on the shuttle back to the car was a breeze. We got on the road, got some gas, then stopped at a large flea market (bought almost nothing) and a small yard sale (bought a few things). The route back took us right by the Brighton Seminole Casino and I thought Marlene might like to stop since she has been on a good luck streak, but we rolled on by.
We stopped for a lunch/dinner at the Log Cabin in Labelle. The fish sandwich there is terrific and they have complimentary bowls of homemade soup – a delicious cheddar broccoli this time. Always a treat.
In the evening we went dancing at LJ’s. Because we hadn’t done enough dancing on the cruise.
