7 days and counting.  All 9 suitcases are ready.  Now it's trying on the tuxedos.  I love formal nights and dressing up!

Last laundry to be completed by Wednesday.  Packing needs to start on Wednesday, we have friends arriving on Thursday from Canads and we'll spend Thursday with them then Friday friends we met on our Alaskan cruise are arriving Friday and will stay with us.  There are 26 of us going on this cruise. All friends, most we met from cruising.

How am I going to be able to pay attention at work this week.  Only working till Wednesday!

Next entry Friday!  See you then!

Pre-cruise preparation

50 days and counting.  That's how many days before we sail.  A lot of preparation to do not only for us but for the group.

Here's our itinerary.

Some of the things to do:

GROUP - 14 USA 12 CAN

1. Share what Rick and I selected for our tours with the group in case anyone wants to join us.  

2. Assign table numbers to make sure everyone is sitting with their families and friends.  Can't leave that up to RCCL.

3. Follow up with group coordinator to make they did follow my table assignments and obtain table numbers.

4. Find out from the group who needs a transfer back to airport in San Juan.

5. Obtain everyone's flight information.

6. Follow up with both the Event Coordinator and our Concierge to make sure that all preparations for the party on the 14th are ready.  Make sure all cocktails are Premium and make sure they have my JW Gold and Rick's Grey Goose for the party.

7. Setup dining at the Specialty Restaurant for the group.  

8. Setup transfer shuttle for those that need it from the Port of San Juan back to the airport.
