Getting Ready

---

So we are totally ready for this trip even though it's going to be a short one for us. Ok make that we're mentally ready but there's still some packing to do and hopefully the new Jeans I ordered last weekend arrive before we leave. And of course there's the requirements to get things completed and ready at work before I leave but there are few days left and I'm sure we'll get that all accomplished.

It seems like forever since we took our last cruise and our next big one isn't scheduled until next Jan so we decided to take a short one this summer so we don't get out of practice. Ok there's also the fact that I'm only 4 days short of getting my 4th Mariner Star with HAL (I'm at 196 days and you need 200) which would give us free Laundry on future cruises (including the 20 day South America/Antarctica one we're taking next year).

So after much research and discussion and review of my work schedule we decided on a 7 day Canada/New England cruise. I've done 2 previous cruises in this area (both from New York to Montreal) but John has never been there before and has always wanted to go to Prince Edward Island. We're going to fly to Montreal the day before the cruise and will spend an extra day in Boston at the end.



All in all I'm just looking forward to a wonderful week on a ship with my husband.
