Once off the ship we headed for home via bus. Michael met us at the Pinellas Park stop, strapped luggage to the roof of the Volvo then stuffed four of us and more luggage into the car saving just barely enough room to fit in Emily and Matthew. From our house we dropped off friend Ed then proceeded to Santiago Court with brother Ed. There we dined on fabulous Cuban sandwiches. We eventually arrived home about ten that night.
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
