Oh My Gosh...90 Days To Go

Lois, if you don't have a neck pillow you might want to consider getting one. Even if you you do not sleep you can support your neck with it if you just close your eyes and rest. The ones that are flat or square on the top are better than the ones that are completely curved.

My orthopedic doc recommended that I travel with one so that I don't hyper-extend my neck if I do fall asleep.

Thanks for the replies:)

I did pick my seats already and the one thing I do remember from when

I flew to Rome (that was 4 years ago:eek:) but I did have a window

seat for the flight and I remember saying never again.....I normally

always take an aisle seat and will be doing that this time. I just like

being on the aisle. That was the first time I can recall having a window

seat in years and years......I actually paid 120.00 extra to move to

Premium Economy. Larger seat and a bit more room down by your

feet too;)

I do own a travel pillow but I am going to see if I can find another one.

Another month has gone by so another month closer:D

LOL.....we must organize/pack quite differently. I have no plans to start

getting any luggage out now. That will come in late March;):):D

24 hours before flight time works for me....if I have too much time between packing and leaving I tend to pack a whole lot more than I need. :D

We are headed to Italy on the 14th. I will start laying out clothes this weekend and then the packing will begin in earnest next week.:)

This is a last minute family trip. I started planning it less than 10 days ago and 9 of us are going. Still lots to organize.:)

I bow to your courage....planning a trip for 9 people in 10 days? Either you're a professional or you're the bravest person I've ever known!!! Or in your family everyone does what you tell them to!! :D

In Italy, every day is Valentine's Day.....I'm married to one!!!

Thanks to MNPlease for your Shutterfly site. Very impressive.

We are on the Tranquility II also, in September, going the opposite direction. With 3 nights in Amsterdam pre and 5 nights in Switzerland post (2 Lucern, 2 Wengen, last night Zurich airport area)

Totally my pleasure! I hope it can be of some help. I am still updating things every so often. I got most of my information from previous cruise critic Basel-Amsterdam (and reverse) Avalon and Viking cruiser reviews and posts....plus a kind Avalon traveler shared there daily news letters from the ship with me. Which helped a lot.

Your trip sounds incredible by the way. We had talked about maybe trying to fit in some time in Ireland before heading home....but sister in law can't miss that much work and my mother is off to an England trip with friends a day or two after we return.
