Nine days and counting! We leave on our cruise on August 23, but we're going to Libby's for the first night, the 22nd. That will give us a chance to see her new digs in Pioneer square and have a leisurely breakfast before we board the ship at noon. We leave Seattle at 4PM. Our itinerary for the cruise is as follows:8/24 Inside Passage; 8/25 Ketchikan;8/26 Sitka; 8/27 Skagway; 8/28 Glacier Bay; 8/29 At Sea; 8/30 Anchorage; 8/31 Homer; 9/1 Kodiak; 9/2 Hubbard Glacier; 9/3 Juneau; 9/4 At Sea; 9/5 Victoria BC;9/6 Seattle.
I have the boarding passes printed; the luggage tags printed, and I've made lists of clothes and other accessories for the trip. I only have to pack my bag now. The biggest problem with that is the weather. We have no idea if it will be warm or cold. Everything I've read says to pack for any weather and layer, but there is a real difference between cold and 30 degrees and warmish and 60degrees So, I'm depending on the US weather bureau to give me a forecast for the first 4-5 days and then we'll do the best we can. I know we'll have four dress up nights, so we'll pack for that. When we cruise, I take along all the jewelry I never wear any more. When I was working, I would wear dresses and suits and dress things up with necklaces and earrings, etc. Now I never wear anything like that. We dress for dinner each night on the ship, and I get a chance to wear all the cool stuff I've still got in my jewelry box. Some of it is fun costume stuff which I love and can't give up.
More later.
