My post before the departure is indeed turning into a small book. Cami has a little different problem than the others on the Star. Not only does she need to say her goodbyes, but to set up a credible backdrop for her people's arrival on the shores of the Anduin. So a lot of that long string has to do with future hobbit destiny and trying to tie things together with the later information Tolkien gives us, e.g., the crazier Tooks feeling compelled to go to sea without knowing they are really searching for their lost hobbrim relatives.....as if Gamba were still grieving for Phura.

Also, Pat, please note that there will be a group of people waiting to meet the ships when they land, in addition to Gandalf.

Perhaps, we might want to make camp, and spend one night greeting these folk and hearing their tales, before the ship sets sail the next day for the Fourth Age. There may be a familiar face among them. I couldn't resist and it is logical.
