It's been a long time since we've been planning and preparing for this much awaited cruise. Our baggage is packed and I think I've over packed as usual. We are going for 20 days and have decided to attend a few formal dinner evenings, as we are celebrating Brian's retirement and our 35th wedding anniversary! We definitely need to bring some extra's! I've checked and rechecked my lists, Made sure I brought my snorkel and mask this time. We'll pick up some essentials like shampoo, bath gel, lotion, sunscreen, etc., at Publix, which is located conveniently behind the Embassy Suites! It's definitely easier to buy those In Ft. Lauderdale, than to lug them from home. Toilettries always add a lot of weight to your luggage! There are other stores at the Harbor Mall such as Total Wines, TJMaxx, Payless Shoes, and a nail boutique to get a mani/pedi done before the cruise, if you wish! We have a very early Sunday morning limo pick up at 5:30am to take us to Pearson Interntional Airport in Toronto. So I'm off to bed in hopes of falling asleep! Somehow, I think my excitement will keep me awake! The adventures begin!
