Another Cruise

Looks like we have signed up for another cruise.  This one will be Nov.  Going on the Ecstasy and going to listen to the LadyA concert.  Already have the hotel and airfare taken care off.  Can't wait for Nov.

Carnival Pride 2013 Trip

Wow!  Time flies and I forgot to post.  Believe it or not we actually went on the cruise. Went to Baltimore and had a blast.  Inner harbor is a really nice place to go.  And the food was awesome. Here are some photos of our trip. We first went to Baltimore then got on the Pride and went to Port Canaveral.  After that we went to Freeport and Nassau Bahamas.  When we got back he hit D.C.  Here are some pics.

Less than 364 until vaction.  I can't wait.  I still have to focus on airline tickets and hotel.  Will keep posted.

Passports done

OK, a few things to report.  Yesterday I able to get passports for Lisa's teenager and myself.  Should be here in a month, but no rush.  Thought it would be a good idea to get that done, even though we have a lot of time.  Lisa still has to get hers and one for her youngest daughter.  Then that shouuld be good.

Also, my girlfriend has once again changed what we plan to do in Port Canaveral.  I guess NASA is out and Wizarding  World of Harry Potter is in.  Just paid for it, so I hope she doesn't changer her mind again.  We will see.

Also for the Transworld Halloween convention I got train tickets to St. Louis.  So that is taken care of.

Transworld I come

First off I didn't the passports done like I wanted to do.  Didn't have the money at the right time, so I think I will wait a bit for passports.

Ok, now one to other things.  I am planning on going to Transworld in St. Louis.  I have already set up a hotel at Holiday Inn in St. Louis. So I just need to make plans to go.  Normally the train is my best optins.  takes about 4 hrs from Chicago to St. Louis, but I think it is better than driving.

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.
