This will be a double (maybe triple if you are a friend of mine on facebook) post. It will be on Confessions, Where in the World, and Facebook (just because it auto-magically posts my Confessions blog to there).
In 10 days I will be porting out of Seward, Alaska for a 7 day cruise. The picture above is of Seward and if the views are even half as amazing as that, I am in for a real treat. The family all leaves on Saturday, they are doing the 7-day land trip first. Me, I am such a dedicated worker (read I used some of my vacation for other things) that I am going to meet them for the last leg of the trip.
This trip I am not over-planning, as I want it to be relaxing too. With that in mind, I have planned out a Zipline and Salmon Bake tour (two different ports). I think those should be fun and exciting (never been on a zipline so I am kind of nervous excited about that)! The only other plans are to get out at every port and see the towns (visit a museum or two), spending tons of time out on the deck while cruising, and trying every type of seafood offered to me.
Speaking of food, can I just say that is going to be the best part of this trip. Yes, I am a fish fanatic so fresh seafood is just going to be fantastic to have everyday (unlike the caviar in Russia thing: NASTY but I tried it)! I guess with all my trips it was about the food. Even the food in Paris was interesting but not since fish/chips in London have been looking so forward to vacation food! Las Vegas was great for food but I was more excited about meeting up with old friends and celebrating birthdays with close friends. This trip = FOOD!
Well, mostly about the food because I think I am looking forward to the weather just as much. I am ready to get out of this hot Texas heat and let the outside AC do all the work! I am looking forward to sweaters, sweatshirts, boots, and jackets. That, my friends, is my kind of weather!
Packing/Planning: so to finally start thinking about what I am taking with me should have started a little bit ago but it didn't. Also trying not to use it as an excuse to get new things but that isn't working either (shopping trip after work today). So anyone else a big ole procrastinator like me in that aspect? Seriously, I will probably be doing it the night before I leave and then forget something truly needed like my straightening iron.
Oh well I still have a week and half to get it all together, Right? LOL
