Oh, boy, two weeks will take too long to get here... maybe Larry and I should practice up on our martini drinking skills this weekend.... we are practicing champagne skills tomorrow for our anniversary!

I am thinking about organizing, but it has been too gorgeous out to be indoors... warm, not hot, breezy and sunny.

Terry, really looking forward to meeting you and everyone else!

Hey Susie and Larry.....
HAPPY

ANNIVERSARY!!

Enjoy the bubbly and many more wonderful years. I'm sure you can throw in a few martinis between now and the cruise to get in the "martini bar swing"

Just picked up the euros I ordered and am trying to get use to a new rolling duffle that we bought which is giving me lots of space... which is a very good thing.

We leave in 10 days and really can't wait.

See y'all soon.

With all of the storm activity coming in from the south, it looks as though we may springing for a taxi to the museums in Philly on Saturday rather than taking the train and walking. Wish WE were leaving in 3 days so we could duck in and out before it arrives!

In a completely unusual fit of pre-cruise energy, we're actually getting clothes out today and packing some of them. Most of the time, that waits until only a day (or perhaps two) before we leave. Since the "cruise duds" will be held in the suitcases for a minimum of 4 days from the day we depart until we board ship, I was finally able to convince Charline that it really didn't matter that they'd be packed for another few days. Whatever is wrinkled is going to be wrinkled in the first hour or two.

I won't actually put things in the suitcases until Tuesday, but everything will be ready to just put in them. I'm creating a lot of stacks!

Chris, I hope the weather remains O.K. for you for your day in Philadelphia!

Wow - last weekend before takeoff

We just got back from a visit out of town....so I'm unpacking.....in order to start THE big pack

I spend a good amount of time using some tissue paper between things I really hope don't get too wrinkled and it seems to help. We'll see if it holds true for those pre days in Barcelona. Packing to get off the ship is a quick throw in the bags any which way...organization goes out the window or the port hole

Next week at this time we'll be getting ready to crawl. Can't wait.

Tomorrow we pack our suitcases!!! I can hardly walk around in my bedroom I have so many stacks. Now what am I forgetting?

Pat, I use the plastic bags from the Laundry for my clothes and that works well and makes packing easy.

We have less than 48 hours to go.
