not too smart considering i hate making decisions!

You of all folks should know Alisa, we are here to help you make great choices that you won't have to stress too much on!!

It is hard being the "tour director" at times, but I love all the research!! DH leaves the preparation to me...he prefers having the trip planned with his input of excursions he's interested on.

Sher -

my parents are the same way....

when i ask them when they are going to research ports, they ask "research what?"

Just got back from our Baltic cruise. We did the ship tour of the old town in Stockholm. Saw the palace but couldn't tour as a dignitary from Bolivia was there. Lots of palace guards and limos! Saw a lovely old church and had a wonderful time walking all around the old town. Very narrow cobblestone streets going in circles, we did get lost a few times but had a good time. Wish we would have had more time there but it takes the ship about 3 hours to get through all the islands to get to our port. We did have a balcony so enjoyed the sights along the way.

A bit more about the tour: called A Walk in The Old Town, it was a Princess tour cost between $44-$54, think we paid the higher amt. A narated tour of Gamla Stan where Stockholm began over 8 centuries ago. We had about a half hour to shop along the narrow cobblestone streets. We visited the Coronation Church, site of coronations, royal weddings and christenings. The bus parked by the Royal Palace but we didn't go inside.
