Soon to be sea bound!

December 14th, 2014

         
              It is 1037pm on Saturday night in Truckee, California and I am sorting through papers for my upcoming cruise. There is a lot to get done prior to leaving in one week. I have education modules I need to complete on-line, I have flight itineraries to review, a 17 page contract to read and turn in, as well as decide what I will bring for the cruise. Today I went shopping in Reno; I took Vantastic to the city and boy was it an adventure! I missed Scott driving and me being the passenger. It was stressful trying to drive around the small city streets in the beast. However, there aren't many 'big box' stores around here so I had to drive about 40 minutes East to get to a Kohl's and Ross store. I found a long black evening dress that I needed to buy for one of the formal nights I will attend on the cruise ship. I found a second pair of navy blue slacks that fit great (it's hard to find short pants for a 5' 3 person but luckily for me, Kohl's has a petite section). I made my way to an Army Surplus store where I found two white collared t-shirts with buttons (really hard to find short sleeved shirts in the off season). So all in all, I managed to get the last few clothing items that I needed.

          Tomorrow I plan to do some yoga and get some education modules checked off the list. Monday or Tuesday Scott and I will be going to dinner with some new friends. And Wednesday or Thursday we will celebrate Christmas since I'll be gone for Christmas and New Year's Eve :( Then Saturday I will leave Reno/Tahoe Airport in the morning to fly to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I'll spend the night and then ship out on the cruise the next day!

          I've been feeling anxious, excited, nervous, and happy to be in warm weather soon all at the same time. New adventure for me...a lot of things to learn but I'm ready for the challenge! I'm not sure how often I'll get to use the Internet but if I am able I will be putting pictures of my sights from sea on here.

          I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!

Love, Heidi
