Hello Lovins! Long time no talk. Yes it is getting very close now. We are going through our summer clothes and deciding what to take. I do not over pack. I take clothes for the excursions, and something to wear at night, but on the days at sea, I am usually in a bathing suit and cover up. My DH is taking a suit. He will take 2 dress shirts and two ties and wear the suit for both formal nights. We just put the suit in a plastic bag and put it in the suitcase. Then if it gets wrinkled we just steam it in the bathroom, when we get there. It has always worked for us.
I did not get a courtesy call from Carnival. You must be special - LOL. I knew that there are not irons in the rooms. It is a fire hazard. I will tell you that the afternoon/evening of the formal night, the lines to use the irons is very long. I usual get all mine done the first night. Everyone is out and about and I get all mine done and then go out. That way I am done for the week. The clock is a great idea, and we bring a travel one. It works out well.
The only excursions that we have booked so far is horsebacking riding in HMC and Dune Buggys in Grand Turk. We will just walk around San Juan, we have been there before and I am still trying to book a private taxi/tour for the 4 of us. We don't want to be at the beach for hours, we want to see as much of the island as we can and then get back to port or town and hang out. I need to get moving on that one.
One thing that I am bringing is a power strip. I understand that there is only one outlet in the entire room. This way I will be able to charge our cameras etc at the same time.
Can't wait to meet you guys. I think that Mojo is planning a meet and greet at the piano bar, but we still need to get the day and time.
