WC 2017 - Planning, Preparation, Excitement

We have the packing cubes assembled, golf clubs ready, luggage selected, shopping completed and a list of tasks mostly done.  House cleaning service suspended, [NOTE TO SELF - leave the house uncluttered 'cause they'll come back a day before we return!]  Gardener paid forward, left lots of Roundup for him and bags of fertilizer.  Wonderful to know my garden will be in good shape and well watered after this long tough draught.

 It is getting near and the excitement is building.  We are in our favorite cabin, Navigation Deck, stern of the ship.  We have several sea days to start the cruise to Hilo, Hawaii.  My first round of golf will be at the Hilo Muni which is close to the shipping terminal.

I have been following our captain's blog: http://captainjonathan.com     I've have enjoyed looking for familiar faces.

This is our itinerary for the Grand World Cruise: 

I have my Mah Jong card packed just in case there are players on the ship.  I also have my Kindle loaded with books.  10 evening gowns, countless dresses and lots of casual outfits.  Last year, I didn't bring enough and got really tired of my clothes, this year I may have overpacked.  Since no flights are involved in this around the world, who cares!  My luggage is really stuffed and heavy.  

Bon Voyage!
