Having looked at where the Ventura was yesterday on the AIS system, for once, I'll not comment!

I've been tracking MV Ventura too so only fair I refrain from answering.

Yes - the view from our ship. 4 hours later, still the same view as we await individual passenger clearance of around 3,000 people, every one of us to be interviewed and passed individually. Truly ironic for "the land of the free" and especially so as 99.9% of passengers will have applied for and obtained an ESTA clearance prior to travelling. No such issues in Spain, Bahamas, Mexico, Honduras or Belize. I'm estimating a couple more hours yet - hopefully we'll get ashore before we sail tomorrow. |

Ah, the joys of US Immigration. I found an old, expired passport the other day and it has literally hundreds of US entry stamps in it. Each one probably represents a good couple of hours of d***ing about in immigration queues. I might add up the days of my life wasted and send Joe Biden a bill for my time  So glad that my travelling days are largely over. |

Noting that the bus in the final picture is "First Student" so closer to home that you might think!
