Only five days until we leave on our cruise. I am starting to feel the excitement that comes with any vacation. I got the refund for the egg chair and I used it to buy a new suitcase. I have a huge one that I bought for my 14 day cruise and a smaller carry on. This one is just right. I tend to over pack. I don't need to since I get free laundry with our suite but I am an admitted clothes horse. I also need to take a first aide kit, my medication, every toiletry known to man , long pants, short pants, dresses, long sleeves, short sleeves, no sleeves, I am obsessed. I will pare it down , I always do but that will Be a few days from now. I have lists to make sure I don't forget anything. The one thing I can't pack yet is chargers!! Do I have chargers!!! Way too many. My iPhone, my Oura, my Fitbit, my Neilson monitor,and my travel chrome book. I also bring my red light strap for any knee pain. Luckily Kasey is bringing her massager so I don't need mine. I have sunglasses and two light sweaters coming from Amazon. I have three sun hats!! I need to stop, I am out of control!! lol

You plan to never go home, right? Make sure you have snacks that will travel well. I guess I should go see what an Oura is.

Just now
lol I honestly think that there is way too much food on a cruise to need snacks. I will make sure I get fresh fruit in the room daily!! But yes, when I went to my brothers's in Vermont I did bring my own snacks on the cruise we have 24/7 room service, I'm pretty sure the cheese plate is a winner. I am going to be soooo spoiled by the time I get home.

Why stop? You're having fun, that's important. Besides, you never know what you'll want to wear once on that boat so take everything you think you might want to wear I hope you'll have tons of fun on this cruise.
