  1. I have to just say no….stepping away from this right now..
  2. Thanks. As a solo traveler, I usually go to meet and greets to meet other solo travelers.
  3. If you go the passport route just pay for expedited processing, and you can tell them the date of your trip. It will speed up the time it takes to get your passports back.
  4. My opinions on cruising: I like to dress up for dinner. I think a balcony is a waste of money. I love going to the shows and to the arts and crafts. I enjoy teatime and trivia. I will only go on ship excursion for fear of missing the ship. I am happy to sit with strangers at meals. I talk to everyone and anyone while on a cruise. I leave elevators for those that need them, and opt for the stairs. Chair hogs annoy the heck out of me. You should be able to build your own drink package, I could go in to a long winded speech about this. I don’t eat at the buffet, to many hands and germs. Cleaning my room once a day is plenty, just bring me extra towels as needed. I like towel animals. Chocolates on my pillow really are not necessary. No need for mini bar ever. Wi-Fi should be free on all cruises no matter your cruise level. Every cruise line should have fill a bag of laundry for a flat rate, on cruises over a certain amount of days. I will stop here, but I could go on. I love cruising and cruise as much as I can as often as possible. Norwegian and Carnival know me intimately. Princess will shortly. I almost forgot…I went to Alaska and it was great, no need to return. I read that people go many times on multiple cruises and I don’t understand that. I don’t see the reason. I don’t need to be that cold again ever. Give me the sun and the sand any day of the week.
  5. They have those packable parkas that smash into a bag and weigh nothing. Eddie Bauer makes one and I think I saw one on Amazon, probably others available also.I would think a packable parka, thermal underwear, cashmere sweaters,turtlenecks, and good boots. Merino wool is said to be good for sweaters and socks. These are things I took to Alaska in September
