Passports


When Lisa and I went on our last cruise we just got passport IDs.  We have heard so many stories about people getting standed on the Islands that we decided to get passports.  The problem with the IDs is you can't fly with them.  So to be safe we are getting the passports.   This weekend Katie (G.F. daughter) and I will be geting our passports.  Should take about 8 weeks but then I can check that off the list.  But girlfirend and her youngest daughter still need to get passports.

Wait, Scratch Disney

This weekend Lisa and I were able to sit down and talk about the cruise a little.  Main focus was money and the Port Canaveral excursion.  We had talked about Disney but Lisa pointed out that it didn’t leave us a lot of time to visit such a large park.  So we checked out some of the excursions that Carnival has for Port Canaveral and we knocked it down to the air boat and alligator excursion.  Which is cheaper.  Not sure the teenager will like this but you know how teenagers are..  Anyway, that actually saves us a lot of money.  The trip itself is a lot cheaper than Disney. And I think we will enjoy it.  I guess we will see how it sticks.  We also talked about the excursions for Freeport and Nassau.  I think in Freeport we might go back to the dolphins and in Nassau we might just go back to Blue Lagoon.  Awesome beach.  I think the kids will like it.  But so much to think about and only 585 more days for the trip.

Other things I need to worry about.

Hotel in Baltimore.
What to do in Baltimore for the day before the trip.
