What about you?

[Cqis]

you recheck your excursions to make sure you booked the right one for the ump-teen time.

[*Miss G*]

You check to see whether your cabin has been assigned.

When my calls with my mother end with "See you in ____ days." or "I'll meet you in the airport/hotel lobby."

When I start seeing "Cruise" on my day-runner overtime I open it (so basically within a month).

When I start planning outfits and packing lists.

[Krazy Kruizers]

When the suitcases come out of the attic about 5 days before we leave for the airport hotel.

[Gail & Marty sailing away]

You start the check list for the house.

You have your big suitcase on the diningroom table 3/4 full 45 days ahead of sail date.

In my own defense, I’ve been purging clothes so I decided to pull out what I’d need for the trip.:D

Making sure my passport is where it is supposed to be -- 10+ times a day.

I'm not quite at 45 days ahead to pack, but the suitcases are definitely out 2 weeks ahead, and I am doing a lot of thinking at that point as to what to bring.

I do this too.....and re-checking excursions/hotels/flights several times before also. I am so worried I will forget/overlook something!

when my printer runs low on ink from all the documents and travel info I print out!

1. You realise that there's too little time to lose the weight to fit into those trousers and that shirt ...

2. You really MUST order the currency today, irrespective of he exchange rate

3. You cannot defer setting the central heating timer to 'Holiday Mode' and you cannot remember how many days you're away for, adding on 4 days for the pre & post cruise stays but then deducting 2 days so that the house is warm when you return to Scotland in winter, still wearing THOSE Caribbean shorts ...

Too funny.....and too true......:)

When I finally sit down and email the "kids" our travel plans, so they know our whereabouts if something important comes up.

[rjgdjg]

I start ironing! And ironing! And ironing!

 

For whatever good that does--the stuff looks great going into the suitcase but coming out? It's all wrinkled! (What actually happens inside that suitcase???) - Musing About Cruising

[Friend100]

Keep sending decline decline and more decline in my Outlook.

[jertom]

When I stop avoiding the checklist !

[IllinoisGirl1978]

When I start to gather personal stuff that I need, (new poof, shower gels, shampoo/conditioner) and when I do the laundry.

This past trip I needed a lot of new jeans and hemmed dress pants. (Short people problem)

[towhee]

When I send in the "Vacation Hold" card to the post office.

[rmf11699]

Read posts called "You know your cruise is getting close when......"

[Seafoam Green]

When the wall calendar in the kitchen notes how many weeks to departure date...3 weeks this Friday!
