Got my #

 Now The Pirate King must get his done 

TSA precheck

I enrolled today.  Simple process.you fill out an application on line, and make an appointment to finish the process in person.  My appointment took less than 10 minutes. The agent scanned my passport, took electronic fingerprints, and had me answer a couple of questions.  I paid the fee, and will get my ID number in 3-5 days. 

The CDC

 The rules keep changing.  Who knows what the rules will be by the time we cruise?

Guess we have to keep an eye on The CDC.

Shopping list

 I started one on Amazon.  I don’t want to forget any essentials.

YouTube part 2

 Really enjoying the cruise videos.  Getting ideas for packing, etc.  

Pity the cruise isn’t until December.

Another great site

 Cruise Outlook

Weather reports.  Too soon to see any kind of report for our cruise, but …

Considering that our cruises in the Valor and Freedom of the Seas had us looking like drowned rats …

Great site
