I did not realize it at the time but I would never return to the office. I moved to the Villages in 2021 (we were still working remotely when I moved) and I retired later that year. I have been back to the office a few times since I retired but the office still works remotely 2 days a week so there are some colleagues that I have not seen since Covid.
We were on a cruise, which eventually got extended by 2 days when San Juan, Puerto Rico refused to let us disembark there as planned. We went on to Miami where we arrived 2 days later and flew home from there. I have to say that Royal Caribbean was a rock star in how everything was handled.

When I got home it was back to work as usual as I was employed in a retail pharmacy. Not one day off.
