I'll be in that group. Of course, not hanging around the pool but at least on the ship.

Packing almost complete. Just need to put my medicine in the bag in the morning.

I am definitely not Sid.

Just checked in for my flight tomorrow. Need to finish laundry and packing and then I should be ready to go.

Unfortunately she's already seen my house and it's uncleanliness. But I at least need to make the effort. Since I have tomorrow and Saturday off, plenty of time to take care of it.

I am totally lazy and haven't seen my dining room table clean for years. But the dust is piling up on other surfaces and I don't want her to think I'm this horrible housekeeper when I truly am a horrible housekeeper.

Bonus of working in the office today was that I got to print out meet and greets there. My black ink cartridge does not seem to be working, probably all dried up from lack of use, so now I don't have to replace before the cruise.

Final day of work complete. No I've got laundry and the packing to do plus cleaning up the house for the house sitter who is watching my dogs. My supervisor wanted me to review an audit summary prior to leaving today and I just couldn't care about it.

Thanks for all the support from everyone. Two more days of work, one at home and the last in the office before I take Friday off. I found out yesterday that I got promoted to Senior Auditor so that's a bonus for this cruise. Time off at a new pay rate. It only took 14 years to get that promotion but it finally happened so I guess I can't complain.

And that fixed my problem. Thank you.

Let's try this picture thing again for the monsters. Milo is the black and white dog and Phan is the tanish/caramel colored on the right.

Yes, staying in a studio. I love those little rooms.

This is the first time I'm leaving my two foster fails - Phan and Milo and Milo is a bit of a reactive dog. I've got a house sitter coming in to stay with them and fingers crossed, things go well once I'm not here. I cannot seem to figure out who to flip it upside so sorry it's upside down.

I'm on this sailing and will attempt to do a live review but this will definitely not compare to Sid's that is currently taking place. This is my first time using cruise air so I'm flying out of St Louis at the crack of dawn, well more likely before the crack, flight leaves at 5:30 am from St Louis and then I transfer in Atlanta to end in Orlando. I got the meet and greet set up and will take place at Improv on Monday. This should be fun and the first time I've hosted the meet and greet.

Those are pretty cool.

Thank goodness you aren't "wondering".

Don't they have a coffee machine in the studio lounge?

NCL treats solo travelers pretty well with the studios and the studio lounge. Lounge amenities vary by ship but some have special coffee machines, pastries in the morning, cookies in the evening.

This is soo me. I really don't like leaving the house but will do it under certain circumstances and then I have to retreat back to my quiet place!

FYI Sid I started a list for you. ETA - You'll have to add the last bit since I'll be on the cruise after yours.

When I was much, much younger I was waiting in my parents car and wanted to see what that thing was that mommy used to light her cigarettes. Stuck my pinkie finger in the car cigarette lighter and burned the crap out of it. I guess I didn't have logical thinking back then.

So glad you are doing this since I'm on the ship the week after you. Are you doing Vibe?

Wowser. I realize they have serious infrastructure problems but that's quite a bit.

Was talking about pricing at the store in San Juan. Since everything has to be shipped in, it might be higher.

Might want to check pricing, if you can, before you go. Might be higher.
