Well have a bit of time, ship sails 2 weeks from today. I've cancelled a few "appts" so I have a bit more time for myself.

I posted a question to Matsuri, gee I hope I got the spelling right, I appologize if I didn't as he had responded to me about Flonaise in an earlier thread.

Thanks again everyone for all your help and advice. I'll still be checking in here when I have the time.

I think a good part of my nerves are because I have to fly. If my ears are ok, that's more than 1/2 to be sure I'll have a good time.
If my mom, my husband and myself are all healthy and nothing bad happens, I will 100% for sure have a good time. Since I am now going with no expectations (which is a good thing).

I doubt I will ever travel as some of you do anymore. I learned some important stuff from all of you. Y'all gave me insight as to why you love cruising as opposed to "other means of travel". I understand and while it may not be "for us" I now understand while people "love to cruise", this alone was a learning experience as I never knew so many people loved to cruise on a "regular basis or as much as possible".

I will write to you about my personal experiences and evaluations when I get back as promised.
thanks again and to anyone cruising soon, have a wonerful time and safe, healthy and happy travels to all.
