For the first time in memory, I actually started to pack the weekend before a cruise. This weather thing is perplexing to say the least, for packing at least, so I decided to start early. I have that awful memory of no luggage last June for 4 days, and Linda not getting her luggage at all in August on Black Sea. So on my carry on I have packed a formal outfit, wool pants, sweaters (1 heavier, two lighter twin sets), gloves, scarf, and khaki's and shirt just in case luggage doesn't make it. I am certain it will, because I only have one flight. If not, to the ship's shop for sweatshirts and pants! Bulk, not weight is the problem when you go to places like this (and Alaska). I am taking two checked bags, which I almost never do!

Karyn, I look forward to meeting you and Joe after muster!
