Two weeks from today we will be sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge and heading north to Alaska!! Since booking this cruise 11 months ago, I have been constantly reading and researching all things Alaska but yet I still feel like I'm not totally prepared!
For the last week I have been double checking and confirming all of our plans and printing page after page of reservation details for my MASTER PLAN folder. I also have a massive spreadsheet where I have estimated our costs. I do this for all of our travels and have perfected the process to the point that I often come within a few dollars of the actual costs! Yes...I am an obsessive planner!
Our guest room has become a staging area for our packing. Piles of clothes, coats, rain gear, cameras, binoculars, etc, etc, etc. I am exploring the whole new world of packing cubes on this trip although I have not yet converted to the "roll your clothes" philosophy. I'm sure (as always) my luggage will be creeping up on that maximum weight of 50 pounds.
On a positive note...we are looking forward to WARMER temps in Alaska than what we are currently experiencing here in Minnesota! 😨 Here is what the first day of May looked like around here...
As much as I love and admire bloggers who post live reports while they travel, it will not happen here. I want to enjoy every minute of the cruise so any blogging will have to wait until we are home. Stay tuned!!
