Oh we are so ready to go!! It is nice to officially be on vacation from work! My last day was Friday! I just hope now, that Jen does payroll on Tues and I can pick up my check then instead of having her depoist it for me on Thur or Friday. We will be on the boat by then! I have on check already sitting in savings and and we have the credit card as back up.

The wierdest concept is going to be the daylight hours. Because we are so close to the Arctic, they only have so many hours of darkness in the summer. The sunsets about 9:30pm and gets up around 3am. I am not sure we are going to sleep!18hrs of sunlight. On the plus side, maybe we'll get to see more.

Carl did get a camera for his bday. We have shopped and shopped. Circuit City had an excellent deal on digitals.He got the Nikon CoolPix. It's 5.1MP! Its a $200+ camera and we got it for $159!! It has tons of bells and whistles on it. I have always had a camera. He has never owned one. It is nice to let him have one this time and have someone else take the pictures.I am amazed at the features it has on it. I don't know how often we will have internet access over there. It is expensive!! On the boat it's 75cents a min. I will try to update if I can.

Packaging starts tomorrow. We have stuff at the drycleaners and just a few more errands to run but besides that we are ready to go. Carl got his patches for the motion sickeness. The only part I am REALLY nervous about is flying! It Scares me to death!! You would think for as much as I have flown I would be used to it by now, but the take off scares me every time! My face is broken out I am so nervous! LOL! When we went to Paris back in 1999 I took a zanax and don't remember anything after Chicago!

I will post more a little later before we go and then hopefully I can update when we get in Copenhagen. We have two days there before we get on the ship!
