Still months and months away

But planning is more than half the fun!

I should put in some of the details here: We are departing Sydney (SYD) on 16 May 2012 on the Sun Princess but we will leave the US before that First Class (!) on United Airlines to SYD.

Among other things, our 50th anniversary is right before we get on the ship so I want to find something to do on the 12, 13, 14 of May. Something spectacular and really romantic. Not to mention wanting to give Randy something to commemorate our spending 50 years together! Guys are NOT easy to buy for, however, so I will have to think about this for the next few months.

I also have to think about getting our reservations back home from SYD!

It may even be time to start some of our checklists. The one thing I'm sort of worried about is visas. We need visas for many, many countries. So I have to look into how to do that in a timely manner.

Where we will spend 104 days next year

Our itinerary is at the top of the page, so you can see all the ports we will go to. At least we HOPE we will get to all those ports! This year's cruise missed one or two as did the cruise the year before. We hope that next year at this time we will be at sea, about to dock in Tahiti.

This is a view of the rear of the cruise ship, the Sun Princess and our cabin is on the left (I believe I should say the PORT) side of the ship, four openings up from the bottom. If you're REALLY curious you can go to www.princess.com and find C746, our home for 104 days.

And I love this photo of the Sun Princess leaving Sydney on an absolutely gorgeous day. Soon (273 days!) that will be us!
