Thanks everyone I am excited about the possible
cruise to Alaska.
Of course I have never been on a cruise or outside
the "United States" so I know nothing about any of t
his. All I know is mom said we needed to get started
on the passports soon because it will be the first time
(for me at least).

Hubs wants to see Alaska again this time being a tourist
instead of in the Army. He was stationed up there both
times he was in. The last time he was married (to wife #1)
and had his two daughters not long after he returned from
Desert Storm 1.

My "dream" vacation is to visit Figi, don't know why but
I do, it is really the only place outside the U.S. that I have
the deep desire to see before I die. Of course there are other
places I want to visit, but Figi is at the very top of the list.
I don't think mom has been there yet, will have to ask her.

Of course I keep thinking about not having my "comfort"
things near me while I am on the cruise. Things like, my
fabric, sewing machines, scissors, etc. I AM taking my laptop
so that I can at least "design" some quilts in EQ7 maybe that
will sustain me a little bit while gone.

Come to think of it I don't even know how long this cruise is
going to be. USUALLY the cruises they take (30+ and counting)
are no less than 10 days but most of the time they are like
14+ days.

Maybe I will find some fabric shops; what do you think?

Only thing about the cruise hubs and I are NOT looking
forward to is spending time with his "better than thou"
sister and her family. Just thinking about that gives me
a massive headache LOL.

But more than anything I am going to miss you all, and
possibly the swaps (unless I can figure out a way to do them).
