The reality of what we are doing just came home to me today when we spent most of the afternoon and early evening trying to squeeze what clothes, shoes & stuff we think we will need into two suitcases and some even smaller hand luggage.
Once packed each case was weighed, several times, partlially unpacked and then reweighed anxiously hoping by some miracle that we'd hit "just below the maximum" allowable weight. I left quite a few items on the bedroom floor and I know Miriam had some difficult decisions to make. Right now the bags are weighed and packed and it will be Tuesday morning at 7 am before we breath a sigh of relief.
Part of the problem is the need to carry clothes for the first and last days of the cruise when it will be baltic and the rest of the time when it will be tropical. Should have flown out and back. Anyway this is all small beer and you wouldn't hear complaints from me. Looking forward to getting the whole journey started tomorrow and will keep you in the picture as the days pass bye.
