Panama Canal, Here We Come: 45 Days Before Departure

We started our planning over a year ago.  I am sure you remember reading our blog post about the planning process.  I remember looking up the weather at the places we were going to visit because my wife wants to be prepared.  You remember the weather link on our website, right?  As for me, I figured that it would be warm and that I would be wearing shorts and my guayabara shirts.  We are ready to go, other than packing, I think.  I get out my checklist to make sure:

  • Passports, check!
  • Cruise booked and paid for, check!
  • Air travel booked and paid for, check!
  • Travel insurance in place, check!
  • Get walking shoes and start walking to get in shape, double check!

I go through my checklist, one item at a time.

As I am thinking about writing this blog, not sure exactly what else I was going to write, when I received an email from Norwegian Cruise Lines. “Forty-Five days until departure, So Many Dining Options, Reserve Now”.

We were already excited about the great adventure, but getting that email really got us pumped up.  Our plan on this trip was to try out an excursion at each port and to sample each of their specialty restaurants onboard so that we could share our experiences with all of you on our blog. I even go back and change the title to this blog.

We read through all the the information on the dining options.  Well, yes, we had read all of it last year when we booked our cruise, but we read it all again. It made me hungry just reading about it.

We decided that we would book the Italian restaurant, La Cucina, on our first night so that we would be all set considering all of the confusion that would be associated with embarcation.

We are counting down the months. Only a month and a half left to go.
