Safe arrival

Hi all,

They’re here!! The ship pulled in at 14h35 this afternoon, but officially docked at 15h15, after making a few runs at the proper anchorage spot, having some difficulty maneuvering with only one engine. Mom and dad disembarked and got to the customs hall at 16h20, and it was a very happy reunion! The boys spotted them and went running off into restricted areas, but of course no one minded. They traveled well, other than the first night where mom thought she might die, but they are here in one piece and doing well! We are all still saying how unreal it all feels, that they are actually here now. They thoroughly enjoyed the ship and say that it exceeded their expectations. Dad has taken many excellent photos, except that his cable is missing, so we can’t view them (déjà vu?)

We’re going to start all the fun stuff tomorrow, and all looking forward to it very much. Their hold baggage is still on the ship and will be available tomorrow, so we’re going to have Christmas all over again!
