Less then three weeks before the group heads west for our Alaskan cruise!!
Luggage tags arrived this week but there is so much to do...namely "Packing"!!

This is my area of weakness....since I've never been to Alaska before I'm not sure what I'll need so I'll probably pack everything and then some!!!  And that's not good since the Airlines charge for checking luggage....Boy do I wish Southwest would have had flights for us!!  They DONT charge for checking luggage!!  I love SWA!!

Well I better stop Blogging and start working on a list of things I need to bring!!

Oh so excited!!

5 Months & counting!

Well it appears we passed the 6 month mark until we begin our journey to Alaska!  Work & life have interfered with all my research & planning so I still have loads of things to look into...

We still need to determine what hotel the group will stay at when we get to Vancouver.  My vote is a nice HIX near the airport...After traveling 12 hrs I'm going to want to take a hot shower, grab some food and go to sleep!  We also need to figure out how to get from Steward to Anchorage for our return flight home!

But we can cross off some things on the list:

  

Passports!  My renewal and Larry's replacement have arrived!! Yay!



Formal Wear!  Thanks to Peggy for taking the measurements so we can rent Larry his Tux. And I got a new outfit!!  (no that is not me in the picture!)





And we got some casual clothes for Larry...so he wont be in Jeans & Tees all the time!

I still have to review the suggested packing list to see what items I truly need and what can stay home.  Traveling light is one of the toughest things for me...I'm still in the Girl Scout frame of mind..."Be Prepared"....and that one time I dont pack it we all know I'm going to need it!!

Now on to "paying off the balance" and getting the group to decide on "Hotel" and "Transportation to Anchorage"!!
