Do I really need to bring this?

I’ve decided to toss the laptop into the pile to take with us.  Rather than purchase extra memory cards for the cameras, it’ll be easier to offload them to the computer every day or so and keep on going.


And, I’m sure I’ll be up a night since I’m used to working nights. That will give me an excuse to find a corner somewhere and edit photos, etc.


Or work on them while my most-beautiful wife prepares herself for a royal appearance at dinner each night.

Anybody missing a giraffe?


We went to Ross looking for ONE additional suitcase for our cruise.  We came home with a matching set of 360deg spinner giraffes.  I watched them for quite a while last night, and I swear I saw one of them move.


I guess they won’t be hard to spot on the baggage carousel the next time we fly anywhere.

Final weekend day to pack.

While I still have Tomorrow off, as a family we only have today off together. DW and I are off Friday, but not the kiddos.


So, after a quick nap for me (after working all night), we’re heading out for the final clothes shopping, returns/replacements, and the Fish Extender last minute items.


I need to pull together a “Don’t Forget” list. Any ideas?


  1. Sunscreen

  2. Cameras w/chargers

  3. Spare SD cards

  4. Binoculars (if I can find them)

  5. Extra suitcase 

  6. Etc.

Goodbye to Mariner of the Seas!


On January 16th, we were at San Pedro eating dinner when RCCL’s Mariner of the Seas made her final departure from the Port of Los Angeles.

Can’t wait!!!

 This is the Picasa site I use to store my photos. I’m pretty sure I’ll max it out within the first couple of days.

Set-Up

I had a blogger.com site setup, but I think this will work better for our cruise.


We are leaving on a 7 night Mexican Riviera cruise next Sunday, and this is where we will post photos and update what’s going on when we can.
