It’s getting real
27 de novembro de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 45 °F
Our personalized luggage tags arrived. We have to get packing so the luggage forwarding can pick up our baggage. Hard to believe it’s three weeks away. (Note: The way this blogging application works is that a "footprint" is created by location. We then add photos' with short blog stories to it. You will need to click on the photos to see the details. Also, sort by descending date seems to give a good timeline).

UPS - Luggage Forward - This is real!
8 de dezembro de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 43 °F
After two years of planning - UPS picked up our suitcases today to send them to the ship. We have Apple Air Tags so we can track where they are. Hard to believe in two weeks we will be on our way. This is a trip of a lifetime. Instead of an expense I have come to a place where I really see this as an investment in our lives. We are going to see and experience more stuff in the next five months than we would sitting in a recliner watching TV. This is an investment which will shape the rest of our lives. We are ready to go. Air Tags reported our luggage made it to Ft. Lauderdale today 12/15/2023. #myvikingjourney #vikingneptuneLeia mais

Trip Temperatures
11 de dezembro de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 39 °F
One of the questions we have been asked a lot is what will the temperatures be during our cruise? One of the women on our cruise FB group put together the attached graph from last year's temps high/low. For the most part while our friends in New England will be shoveling snow ... we will be in our bathing suits by the pool with a fancy drink with an umbrella in it. When we get towards Europe in April & May the temps will be cooler. We brought long-sleeved fleeces and rain jackets for those times it might get nippy on ship. Thought some of you might enjoy the graph. Please do feel free to write comments as we travel - it will help us keep in touch with you.Leia mais

We are doing this!
22 de dezembro de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 19 °F
We stayed at a hotel near the airport the last two nights. The house is winterized and all secure. We just checked out of hotel waiting for the shuttle to the airport to fly to Ft. Lauderdale to stay in a hotel tonight to then board ship on Saturday. Today we will meet up with friends from Yale - Steve and Roselee. The adventure begins. #myvikingjourney #vikingneptuneLeia mais

50% of us are on a plane!
22 de dezembro de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 23 °F
So, the adventure continues. We missed our 6:00AM flight - no room on the 7:00AM standby flight - Donna made it on to the 11:20AM standby flight to Atlanta but no room for Paul - Paul is waiting hoping to make with er the 2:00pm standby or the 3:00p standby flight - Then we have to get standby flights to Ft. Lauderdale from Atlanta - we also have an option to get a flight to Miami where our friend Roselie and Steve can drive us to Ft Lauderdale from Miami- So, 50% of use are error - But, life is good Chewbie is our new friend - airport therapy dog is keeping me smiling - Chewbie’s owner is also on standby for Detroit MI - So, we are taking this all in stride - Our great adventure is starting out on a fun (will make a great story later) foot. But, we are moving forward. #myvikingjourney #vikingneptuneLeia mais

I screwed up
22 de dezembro de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 43 °F
Good news I am on a flight to Ft. Lauderdale and our luggage is on the flight. Bad news I lost my CPAP breathing machine in the Alanta airport. I am a horrible snorer. Donna is mad. I don’t blame her at all. So I have to figure this out. Wish me luck.Leia mais

Donna is asleep. I woke her but she crashed back to sleep. I am ready for a new day tomorrow. The pic is AM by the way. Been up for 23 hours. A lot of little mess ups made today a tough day. But we survived. Still need to find some luggage and buy me a cpap machine. Wish me luck.Leia mais

Day 1: Aussie wearing an Akubra hat
23 de dezembro de 2023, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F
I am embarrassed I forgot this gentleman’s name. We meet briefly while waiting for the bus to take us to the ship. His hat and original Akubra is stunning made of rabbits fur. This fine gentleman let me take his portrait for which I say thank you. The Akubra is the finest hat a gent can wear.

It’s day 99 of our cruise I am going over old posts. I will never forget Brian and Sue from Australia. We were very sad to see them leave mid-trip. But our lives are better for knowing them both.
