Naples is gone!

Hello All, Happy Thanksgiving , and here is a quick update.
Day 1 and 2.We left Oak Harbor at 2:45AM for a quick trip to SeaTac.  We didn't get much sleep, so it was a tired group that took off at 7:15AM on an American flight to JFK.  Jim and I had a window with another man on the aisle; it was tight but we managed.  We had almost 3 hrs in NYC but we had to travel a long way and go through another set of security screenings, including an xray and some consternation with the rivets on Jim's jeans and the bone in my bra!  We failed to go through the passport check so we were paged for a special screening for that, but eventually got our seats on the plane to London.  We sat 4 abreast on that leg, and Mike's tv and lights didn't work.  He got unhappy with British Air then. That flight seemed short until we reached London, and we were held on the taxiway for 45 mionutes while they figured out how to unlock the stairs we had to debark onto since the jet way was broken??  Another security check! We missed our flight to Rome, arriving on a later flight to be met by the Princess people who had been looking for us.  Lots of people were arriving late, so no worries, and our luggage all arrived; that would have been the last straw for four people who will never again take such a long trip without a few sleep breaks;  I was hung over drunk for lack of it.  Every time we got still we all fell asleep.  To end it all, we got on the ship and managed to be on time for the longest and most thorough Muster Drill we have ever had.  I guess the Costa ship wreck has everyone paying attention to things, and we are not making any little jaunts around islands either!  Dinner was good, but I didn't care, and we were in bed by 9 and exhausted sleep followed.
Day 3. Naples: Breakfast was at 6AM for a tour meeting at 7AM.  The night went too fast. The tour, however, was wonderful.  We had a beautiful Italian woman guide, Josepina, who spoke great English and gave us lots of information as we toured the Amalfi coast, Pompeii and Sorrento and Positano.  The sights were amazing, the sea was flat, the sun was shining, the temp was around 65 degrees, the lunch was the greatest, and the sight of Pompeii which has been uncovered from 60 ft of ash! was exciting and informative.  I returned to the ship with sore legs, knees, and butt (yes,even my butt was sore), and rushed to have dinner, after which we fell into the bed again.  BTW, our tour was planned with the Cruise Critic group, and it was well worth every Euro.  We had 13 people, a great sized group to manage with friendly and interesting people along for the ride.
Day 4-At Sea.  OMG, I am so relieved to be at sea, resting finally from the long trip and able to recover from my athletic excess.  I have had some pain relievers, slept in, had coffeee delivered in our cabin, a reasonable breakfast, and now I have two whole days to rest and recupe before we reach our next destination. A few differences in Princess and Holland America:  The robes in the cabins are not as nice or as big! The dress in the dining room is much more casual.  The food seems the same except the fruit soups seem sweeter.  The shops are fancier. The people are younger.  Not all bad! 
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving Day and dinner.  Until later, The Whidbey Wagners
