Do we really need all this "STUFF"?

How is it possible to put everything we need into 100 pounds of luggage space?  Thank goodness for packing cubes (eBags) that keep things organized.  Our luggage lists are made and now I just need to stop adding stuff!  Prepared for all weather, dress-up clothes for formal nights and warm and cool weather garments, not to mention the toiletries, meds, name tags and invites for the Meet & Greets with CruiseCritic friends, and electronics that will help keep us in touch with loved ones at home.

Hopefully, if you can read this, it is because I gave your email to "Google" for allowing this blog to be read by you.  Please comment if you received the notification and if you could read my first post.

Getting ready to set sail for the Baltics

Ron and Jeannie are packed and the itinerary is almost complete.  Just found out this morning in the news that the day we visit Helsinki, Finland, July 16 President Trump will be there for a summit with Vladimir Putin.  Hope no security issues for our tour.  I am practicing writing our travelogue using this blog format.  Hopefully I will learn how to include photos, etc.  We look forward to reading comments from family and friends who have been invited to read this blog.
