The last time the MS Noordam was docked at Canada Place, we got on it and sailed away towards Auckland, New Zealand. That was on September 24th and we didn't disembark until November 6th. All that time made us think of her as home. Yesterday, the HAL ship returned for the Alaskan cruise season and we had to run down to say hello.Interestingly, we also spotted another HAL ship we were on last summer. We flew to Rome to catch the MS Westerdam for our 24-night Mediterranean and Adriatic cruise. We didn't know she'd be so close to home this summer.
Lastly, the MS Zaandam was in town too. Another Holland America vessel will make it here today.
So the sun was out, the weather was definitely spring-like and I felt very happy knowing this is our home. We travel a lot by choice, but our hearts remain here.
