It is the time! We are two days away from starting the journey we have dreamed of for many months. Over the last several days, we have been cleaning, shopping and packing. Now six suitcases are waiting to go on the journey with us. We will fly to Los Angeles tomorrow evening to stay overnight at Sheraton near the airport. We will be picked up by Crystal Cruise at the hotel in the morning to transport us to the cruise terminal. We are very excited but also very nervous. Only way to connect with our family and friends are through satellites in the space.

*UPDATE – As we finalized the packing, one of the large suitcases broke. We had to go to Target to get another suitcase first thing in the morning. Now we are in the airport to wait for taking off to start our journey.
