Details, details

The cruise is imminent.  The major planning was done long ago.  All that's left is details.


Found a great app from Travelguard, helps keep all your info organized.  A little surprised they're still using the "Chartis" logo on the app when the rest of the company switched back to "AIG" months ago.


We checked our airline information.  American changed its flight numbers and never bothered to tell us.  Worse yet, they changed the time of our flight home.  At least they made it later, not earlier.  Considering our Jet Blue problems last cruise, this would have been nice to know earlier.


Found a neat website, www.cruiseoutlook.com.  Gives the weather forecast based on your cruise itinerary, so you don't have to look up each port separately on weather.com.  I just have to remember that the site made an error on the Breeze itinerary and I have to use a different ship (the Freedom's Eastern Caribbean itinerary for August 10) to see all our ports.

Got global services for my phone but I am not likely to use it much.  Going to turn off the data plan on the tablet and use ship's wifi, it's not cheap but a lot less expensive than Verizon.


We got the infamous "betcha can't wait" email from Carnival, the one that tells you to wait until 1:00 to board the ship.  The pirate king actually took it seriously -- he doesn't read Cruise Critic.  But our Faster to tge Fun "excursion" is scheduled to start at 11:00.  We still plan to board early and lunch on the ship.


So now it's just laundry and packing and getting excited.

Ha!

So you know I'm a tad bit upset that Jimmy Buffett's Jones Beach concerts coincide with our trip. 


Pirate King isn't happy right now.  He just found out Adam Ant is doing a concert.  He'd love to go, but it's while we're on the cruise.

one week from today I will be on a flight to Miami.

packing

No, not for the cruise.  We've got a trip coming up this week.  Not a vacation.  Just some errands we need to take care of, flying down to Florida and driving home again.

counting down

located the suitcase, but haven't started packing.  we've got that road trip next week, I'll pack for the cruise when we get back.

36 days to go

Everything is booked and paid for -- cruise, air travel, excursions.  Steakhouse and Cucina de Capitano reservations have been made.

Can't start packing yet because: 

(1)  It;s summer and I'm wearing the clothes I plan to take on the cruise; and

(2) We have a road trip of sorts starting July 29, I have to pack for that first.

So all that's left to do for now is the countdown.
