(*New Words are found at the bottom)
Those of us who are detail orientated and have made our never ending lists ~ each item is being crossed off as it finds its way into our open suitcases.
Our minds never ending chatter goes something like this . . .
Will it all fit?
Can I get one more thing in?
What about my shoes ~ do I have enough space for all of them?
Just 50lbs ~ It can not exceed 50 lbs!
Reorganize, again.
Oh the joys of packing ~
And so it goes . . .
Happy Packing all!

Here are our Cruise Critic threads where we have met and made new friends, talked endlessly about anything cruise related and some things ~ not so cruise related.
Please feel free to sit down with a cup of coffee or what ever floats your boat and get ready for a very long read - we have been chatting on these threads since not long after this cruise became available to buy ~ I think it was early 2010 ~(*note ~ some of our LA to Tahiti, to LA thread got shortened) - So I can not tell you the exact "inception day".

Grace,
ReplyDeletejohnny and Trina here, remember us from the Island Princess10/9/2007. Bobbie and John told us about your blog, we are going same time they are in 3/26/13. Your were with Ruth on that cruise...
So quite a blog here, knowing you, you have included everything, crossed your T's dotted your i's.
If you remember, Trina was the wheel chair bound one, I her husband/caregiver.
What a small world it truly is.
We hope you have a great time and will be expecting a full report on your return.
Bye for now, johnny
