Actually, Peggy (pwolftx) and I were chatting and decided on October 7, last night out of Shanghai, as it appears from the schedule that we are leaving at 1 p.m. that day.  Plenty of time to get ready for this grand event, and next day is a sea day.  Sorry to disagree with you here Mitch, but last night before disembarking, people are sometimes distracted with packing and stuff..
