... at home!! <GRIN>
And, the planning continues:
And, the planning continues:
- In November, we booked a night at the Marriott at Tampa Airport because the best flights would leave early in the day.
- In January, we booked our outbound fights and will not need to stay at the airport! We have Edelweiss flight from here to Zurich and then another on to Barcelona! YEAH!! No connections in Atlanta, Newark, JFK, Dulles or Chicago!!
- Also, in January, we booked a post cruise safari. It's included in the cruise fare so couldn't turn it down! Yes, we could have gotten a credit for not taking it, however, it would have been about 10-15% of the cost would we have had to pay for it separately! (More on the safari another time.)
- In February, we booked our luggage service. We had used Luggage Free on our 66-day cruise in 2013 so chose to use them again! Rest assured it is NOT "free", darn... it just means we travel free of luggage! We like having our bags there when we arrive in our cabin and having them back home shortly after we return home! No customs and immigration checks, they do it for you! Yes we will carry our "drag-alongs"!
- We have booked our shore excursions for the 1st leg. Fortunately, all the ones we chose are from the "included" list!
- Come Wednesday, 2/25, we can book our return flights from Cape Town and book the shore excursions for the 2nd leg.
Whew! Caught up with happenings to date!
