3,2,1--here we go!!

Sadly, this is the last PRE-cruise blog. Don't worry, there'll be a recap after the trip. But ladies, it's time to go! I finished packing last night and ALMOST forgot my money!!!! That would have SUCKED! I'd have to have taken out a big ol' loan from Cruise Mothah! But it looks like I'll have some cash. Don't worry.

Yep, it's time to pee a ring around yourself and GET OUT THERE!!! See you in LA!

Cruise sistah, signing off!!!!

3 days to go

In Spanish that's TRES DIAS!

Gather your passport, money, drivers lic., SET SAIL pass from Royal Caribbean, and any other important paperwork you can think of and set it aside--preferably somewhere where you won't forget it. It's time to get ready!!! I'm packing this afternoon!!!! YAHOO!

4 days to go

Four days to go, senoritas!!!

Final weather update for the days we'll be there:

Cabo--75*

Puerto Vallarta--75*

Mazatlan--79* Looks like this will be out sunbathing day!!

Also, bad news in Vegas--49* and rain/snow mix I could SWEAR that's the same forecast for Billings next week!!!

Los Angelas--55* and rain Good thing we're headed south!!! One good thing, if it's raining during the safety drill, they'll let you do it in the hall, by your room. I know--it's happened to us before!! Meet you at the bar!!

5 days to go

It's time to get those phone numbers and other information together for the loved ones you'll be leaving behind. That's right--behind. As in, NOT WITH YOU. That would be kids, spouses, employers... Here are the two numbers I'll be leaving with my family:

To reach us on the ship they should call (888) 724-SHIP.

To reach us at the Mirage in Vegas they can call 702-791-7111.

I'll have my cell phone with me, but I don't think it'll work in Mexico, and having it with me does NOT mean I'll actually turn it on!! :)

Only about 100 hours left until we sail!!!

6 days to go

Time to iron those cruise clothes and make sure you have your sunglasses ready. Don't be like me and leave them in your car. I do that almost every trip!

7 Days to go!

One week from today, ladies, we'll be setting sail.

My beloved husband has informed me that I look jaundice. Says my "tan in a bottle" is turning me yellow. I have assured him that I am not yellow. That's my Mexican tan!!! But in case he's right, I've been thinking about it, and maybe, if I turn yellow enough, I'll start to glow in the dark. I figure that's a bonus for Shelley if she needs to pee in the middle of the night. I'll be her night-light to get to the bathroom in our cabin. Also, if I should fall overboard into the murky Mexican waters, maybe if I'm glowing, it'll be easier for you to see where to throw the life preserver!

On another note: the US dollar is currently worth about 100 pesos. Just a little FYI for you when wondering if you're getting a good deal on that Mexican trinket. Also good to know in the event that one of us ends up in a Mexican prison. If they tell you bail is 40,000 pesos, you'll be needing to come up with about $400 US dollars!

It won't be long now, ladies!!!

8 days to go!

With just over a week to go, it's time to finalize those carpool details, after-school plans, purchase those frozen dinners...you know, all those wifely-duties you'll be leaving behind soooooooon! Ahhhh......it won't be long now!
