Horseradish, bungee cord, suction hooks, leopard print duct tape, scotch tape, and an old Marriott Hotel key card and sandwich bags – can only mean one thing…..


We are packing for a cruise!! LMAO
I wish I could claim credit but nope, Jeff is the mastermind behind everything to do with this trip. I cannot believe how much time and effort he has put into our virgin cruising experience, but can never really express how grateful I am that he did. I came home tonight from my last day at work kinda dreading the whole packing thing. Turns out, all I had to do was pick out swimwear, eveningwear, casuals and jewelry. Nailed it in 10 minutes!  (How come he already knew my shoe selection? Or was that a genius stroke of thought on his part? … i.e. “match what your taking to these shoes”… brilliant!).. it worked!
All the other stuff? He had already covered, packed, weighed, re-packed to distribute the weight evenly across cases. They are all closed up and in the car.
Cat and dog already dispatched to their holiday home.  
Freshly laundered sheets to come home to – BONUS!
So…. Tomorrow morning 8am.. off we go!!!! Kenbridge to Raleigh Airport via Bath n Body Works (not sure why, but it is on the to-do list) and the Gap…. me has no jeans L…. Followed by a truly greasy Waffle House breakfast! J
Should be in Miami around 3:30pm….  More on that tomorrow or Saturday.
In the meantime….. back to the title subject….
Horseradish – to mix into the free morning tomato juice (with a drop of purchased vodka)…  Bloody Mary 101
Bungee cord (to hold the balcony door open)
Suction hooks (cos sometimes things just have to be in reach, not in a wardrobe)
Leopard print duct tape (to wrap/strap all luggage so we can easily identify it at Miami airport and at embarkation)
Scotch tape (homemade lamination 101 for all luggage tags)
An old Marriott Hotel key card (for the in stateroom safe… it needs something with a magnetic swipe… so much safer than a credit card)
Sandwich bags – errr no brainer…. 4 port stops…. Hit the breakfast buffet with sandwichable stuff to munch on the beach.
