smolt Posted December 10, 2005 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I've really enjoyed sharing in your excitement here as the days and weeks slipped away. I hope that this vacation turns out to be all you dream about and so much more! Please, please come back here and tell us what you experienced, the good and the not so good, what surprised you and what we all were able to let you know in advance. I am sure you will have a million little memories stored away and you will want to share with the next first-timer. If you are like most of the folks here, it will take a number of weeks to settle back into reality once you've returned home. Its right about then that you start to count the days till the next cruise :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smolt Posted December 11, 2005 #6 Share Posted December 11, 2005 A couple of thoughts about packing... We got caught once with all "his" things in one bag and all "her" things in another. "Her" luggage was missing for a day. That was a panicy situation. We now always pack with both person's things distributed between both bags. We always carry a full change of clothing (including under-clothing) in the carry-on bag, just in case checked bags go missing. Remember this is YOUR vacation.. you don't "have to" do everything. Be as busy or as laid-back as YOU want to be. Most of all enjoy!! Relax and go with the flow :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
