Travel-Jen Posted April 23, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 23, 2009 We leave in less than 6 weeks, and are getting so super excited! Everything is planned and budgeted down to our last dollar, this is the only trip we've ever done anything like that for, but considering all there is to see and do, and how expensive Alaska is...we are finally doing it soon! Thanks to all the wonderful info. I've received here, you made our planning so much easier! We've been planning this trip for 8 months, and are counting down the days! We have little left to do for this trip, I'm so excited to say that...LOL! What about you? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada4us Posted April 23, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 23, 2009 16 days and a wake up until my wife and I will be on our first cruise...Alaska bound. Doesn't get any better than that.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosieo Posted April 23, 2009 #3 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I am so excited I can't stand it. And when my husband first mentioned going to Alaska I thought he was crazy. I am a warm weather person, I love my Caribbean cruises. But now after spending months and months planning I think I am more excited than he is. I check my countdown clock everyday!

CowPrincess Posted April 23, 2009 #4 Share Posted April 23, 2009 OMG, I fly out in 13 days!!!! (so much for losing a bit of weight before the cruise :D) Ack! Now I am feeling some time pressure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel-Jen Posted April 23, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Oh I know...I am such a Caribbean girl I can't stand it! Most of my excitement is going somewhere I've never been. Never thought it would be a colder place, but after much research...I'm positive it will be amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assateague Island Princes Posted April 24, 2009 #16 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Just one year and 38 days for us!! :D LOL!!! Last night we just booked HAL's new 14-day roundtrip itinerary for 2010 going to those wonderful new ports of Anchorage, Homer and Kodiak!!! I am beyond excited!!! This will be our third time to Alaska and it NEVER gets old! I see myself going back there again and again. Dear husband would move there in a heartbeat if I'd just say the word:rolleyes:! And truthfully, I'm not far behind that - now if we could just win the lottery....hmmm.... I'm envious of you folks who are in the "home stretch" and will be living vicariously through all of you (post those reviews the minute you get back, please?) until our long awaited cruise on May 31, 2010. Happy Alaska sailing to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriPhil Posted April 24, 2009 #17 Share Posted April 24, 2009 A tad more than 4 months - driving DH crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mksmcada Posted April 24, 2009 #18 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Nice to know I am not the only one who packs months ahead. We leave June 8th on the Coral Princess. We will be in Alaska visiting a friend on May 30th 37 days and counting! I can hardly wait!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Cruise4Fun Posted April 24, 2009 #19 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I started the countdown at 328 days when we booked. The MIT (Mother in Law) made a daisy chain out of paper rings and I tear one off every day. 52 days until we depart, add 1 more day until we get on the Coral. I think I have seen enough pictures, read enough stories and feedback on CC not even sure if I will feel like I am actually seeing something new when we get there. Might as well cancel..................Yeah right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my wife is with you, after the winter here in KY, she thought I needed my head examined to go to Alaska. She has somewhat warmed to the idea, hope I have not made a mistake.

canagal Posted April 24, 2009 #22 Share Posted April 24, 2009 51 days and counting for our first cruise ever! We have friends joining us from England for our trip to Alaska- very excited, can't wait! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chachi Posted April 24, 2009 #23 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I leave three months from yesterday. I am so excited. I've only been booked for a couple months, but it seems like forever. I have everything planned, and excursions booked. I am more excited about this cruise than my cruise that leaves in the three weeks. I've never been to Alaska. I can't wait!

Choozin Croozin Posted April 24, 2009 #25 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Well, I started planning 14 mos ago and still have over 4 mos to go. I have taken a break here and there, but I like the OP have never put this much into any vacation. I need a life from these message boards. LOL Anyways, I too have started packing and am getting more excited by the day. I am looking forward to all your trip reports and some current insight. Bon Voyage everyone.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
