Getting Ready


We're back! We're getting ready for another cruise within 30 days. There is so much to do as far as preparations. I already have 75% of my warm weather clothes set aside along with the shoes (minimal) that I plan on bringing along. I've been updating my checklist because I have to bring my gadgets with me and need to make sure I bring my associated batteries and chargers. Do I know where my priorities are?

I have our luggage tags printed out. Still contemplating what I'm going to use to attach them to the handles. I do have a tiny portable stapler that I'll throw in my suitcase as a last minute fix. I've been to my local office supply store in the hopes of finding a plastic pouch, long and narrow, to place the tag. No luck. Looks like I'll be heading to CruiseCritic.com and see what the other experienced cruisers recommend.

We are definitely looking forward to this trip. It's been two whole years since we've last cruised and we miss it big time. We were suppose to sail on the Ruby Princess in January of this year, but had to cancel as a result of losing one salary. I had hoped to find employment right away, but it didn't work out. So we celebrated our 25th anniversary in a very low keyed manner.

In January, we're doing a combination cruise celebration on the Emerald Princess for our past 25th and most recently 26 year anniversary plus my DH's upcoming 50th birthday. We are both looking forward to a much earned vacation to re-energize and start another adventurous year in 2011.

So, stay tuned as I start posting about our upcoming trip.
