Lars, it sounds like you need some electric outlets installed too!

I finally made it to the bookstore yesterday I bought a Caribbean travel guide. It's called Caribbean Ports of Call; A Guide for Today's Cruise Passengers 7th Edition. It covers the Eastern & Southern Regions. I bought this one because it had "city" maps in addition to the island maps. The others mainly had island maps with a smaller map of the city which you could barely see! It also has a couple Walkabouts for some of the islands so they're like little walking tours of the main cities.

I also bought Twilight and New Moon in paperback. They had the other 2 books, but only in hardcover and I figured they would weigh more if it came to taking them with me on a plane My thoughts were that in the next couple months they should come out in paperback and if I'm done the first two, I'll pick them up then.

Yes I am getting excited I was waiting until today or tomorrow to book my RCL excursions that we're doing through the ship and talking to DH about adding MTD vs. early seating and prepaying our tips. My Discover card statement ended yesterday so now when I book these things, the bill won't be generated until August 3rd and I won't need to pay it until the end of August right before we leave.

I also now realize I am just way too excited over some of these things, like billing statements and using the credit card company's money for free for 45 to 60 days
