Very nice review. Truly laughed out loud picturing your friend looking up from the floor.

My Sister and I will be doing a similar cruise 2016 and your review is a really fun way to wait. Thanks!

Hi Ladies,

Since everyone is talking about sales, I wanted to tell you about Ann Taylor online. Just got done ordering 3 dresses (talls), a necklace and earrings for $122.00. Everything that was on sale is now an extra 60% off. I now think I have everything needed for my Sisters cruise in December!

Tngaloha- Love the necklace! You are giving me a new crafting bug, I am itching to go to Hobby Lobby and get some beads!!

Yes, whenever my DH leaves for business the first thing I do is deep clean the kitchen and polish the stainless. It is surprising how long the shine lasts when he is gone. Also I but on my headphones and scrapbook the rest of the time he is gone.

I WILL NOT START A NEW HOBBY>I WILL NOT START A NEW HOBBY>I WILL NOT START A NEW HOBBY, dang it now I have to go to Hobby Lobby

Indiana - LOVE your hair!

Arhillbilly - What are you packing, and will you share your trip with pictures and details?

Okay Ladies, when is the next cruise? I still have 619 days and really need someone else to go on a cruise and tell me what they are packing!

If not soon I will have to reread this thread!

I wear hats whenever we will be in the sun for an extended time. Really can't say that I like to wear them but I wear them for the protection. My head seems way bigger when wearing one.

MORGANICAT - Very jealous of your Charming Charlies trip. Have an $50 gift card to there that has been burning a hole in my purse since Christmas. There are 3 stores that I know of and they are equal distance from my house. 2 1/2 hours away.

The first time I went there was before our 1st cruise and was blown away by all that they had.

WHEW! Just finished and loved it!

Tom and I went on an Alaskan cruise last September, and LOVED it. We took about 375 photos. I would do it again.

We are planning and booked for a 30th anniversery trip by land 8 days in Hawaii boarding Celebrity Solstice on the 28th of April for a 10 day cruise and ending with 3 days in San Diego. It is very hard for me to get the husband to take vacations so I have to plan ahead and make it as long as I can.

I thought I was an over planner but at least I am not the only one.

Hi, I found this thread last night and all my waking time has been spent reading it. I am only on page 28 and might have to give it a rest to eat.

Tom and I have only been on one cruise and our next is not for 647 days. Tom was in the military and we traveled for 26 years for that. I wanted to share a travel tip that I have used for many years.

When we change out of dirty clothes I lay the pants out fold the shirt and lay it on top add the underwear and socks and roll them tightly. This roll then fits in an empty suitcase. This way I make it home with all of our socks and nobody see our dirty underwear.

Indiana, thank you for starting this thread! I have enjoyed going on your trips with you and love your photos!
