Today is the big day. We are all packed and will be flying out to Fort Lauderdale at mid-day today. Will spend a few days doing some last minute shopping prior to boarding the Pacific Princess on January 19th. Needless to say, we are really looking forward to this cruise.
Oh, the box of miscellaneous items that we sent by FEDEX to Florida ended up weighing 36 pounds.

Formal Nights
This morning we received a notice from Princess through our travel agent confirming the itinerary and formal nights. Looks like we will have 9 formal nights on the entire world cruise (3 from Fort Lauderdale to Sydney and 2 on each of the other segments).

Belated Happy New Year
Happy New Year to everyone.
Time is really getting short for the cruise. Just 16 more days and we are on the way to warmer weather.
Most of the pre-packing is done and we have loaded our box of goodies that we will send to Florida via FEDEX. Should send that box on its way on January 6th. Just a few loose ends left to complete prior to flying out to Florida.
Here are a couple of tidebits of information for anyone planning a long trip. It's a good idea to check with you auto insurance company. You can do what is called "Garaging" your auto and receive a substantial reduction in the premium while you are on travel. Also, we use a device called a Battery Tender that will keep our car's battery topped off but not overcharge it. Works really great.

25 Days Until Sail Away
We are down to only 25 days remaining until sail away from Fort Lauderdale. Thought it would be fun to Post a video of last year's Pacific Princess departing Fort Lauderdale on the World Cruise. Here is the link
Tomorrow is Christmas Day and we have family getting together to celebrate. Several events are planned for all.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year (2011).

Back On Land
We just returned from 2 weeks onboard the Sapphire Princess sailing along the Mexican Riveria. It was good to get back out to sea and test our sea legs for the upcoming trip. Also, it was good to see if we could keep from eating too much and exercising enough to not gain any weight. Just 36 days until sail away from Florida.
To our surprise, the Maitre'd on the Pacific Princess will be Francisco Patricio. We have sailed with Francisco many times and have always been impressed with how well he manages the food operations. Here is the notice that we received from Princess Cruises regarding Francisco being on the World Cruise.

60 Days And Counting
Today we hit 60 days on the countdown to sail away for the World Cruise. Time is beginning to click away quickly. Before you know it we will be heading out of the harbor at Port Everglades toward destinations all over the world. But before then, we will do a back-to-back cruise (14 days) on the Sapphire Princess to the Mexican Riviera. This should help us get our sea legs back in good shape. On November 27th we will board the Sapphire. We are looking forward to seeing many of our friends that are part of the Sapphire crew.
