When you book a cruise eleven months ahead, it seems like there is all the time in the world to research and plan. And then...BAM...it is time to pack the bags and go!! I over packed the last time we cruised to Alaska and this time we were cruising for TWO weeks instead of one. 😲😲😲 We each took one checked bag, one carry-on, and one backpack. This was more than sufficient for Bob, but a stretch for me to pack everything I needed (and wanted.) A few of my heavier items (hiking boots, hair products, etc.) managed to find their way into Bob's luggage and he still had extra space.

Our pre-vacation began by spending a few days at our middle son & daughter-in-law's house in the Twin Cities area. I got in some quality grandma time while Bob was hard at work doing some handy-man jobs. Some last minute planning also enabled us to have dinner with our oldest son and his girlfriend. Getting Chinese food to-go and eating outside at a park was a great decision on a beautiful night in Minneapolis.
Spending the night at the Hilton DoubleTree hotel was when I really began to feel like the vacation was starting. I had gotten what I considered a decent deal on a one night stay with two weeks of parking ($100). After checking on times for the morning shuttle to the airport, we were off to bed. Alaska...here we come!
