"And We're Off...

...in more ways than one!" ~ My clever sister Cindy could never resist adding that whenever our family set off on a trip

After months of planning, and even longer of dreaming, we're finally on our way to Norway!

"You're leaving? Say it ain't so!"
But our first stop is Columbia, MO. All our luggage is loaded into the back of the pick-up (along with the DH's chainsaw. #1 Daughter is keeping the truck for us while we're gone, and she has a few "projects" planned as long as she has use of a heavy-duty vehicle.) The puppies aren't happy about us leaving, but we know they're in good hands with #2 Daughter.   

Tomorrow, #1 Daughter will take us to St. Louis (about an hour and half drive) where we'll board our Delta flight to NYC. We like to arrive in our port city the day before we embark. 

My next post should be from the Mid-Town Hilton!

  1. Love your writings.....
    Question: We are doing the WC on the Pacific Princess 2020. Did you get shots? If so, when did you do it?

    Thanks,

    1. Yes, we got Hep A and typhoid shots within 6 months of departure. I was due for a tetanus shot, so I got a T-DAP, and the DH discovered through a blood test that he'd never been inoculated against measles. We also both had our yearly flu shot. Check with the CDC. There's a page on their site specifically for travelers. You input your destination, and a recommendation for vaccinations pops out.

      Have a wonderful time!

    1. Thanks, Amy. I'm still pinching myself a little! When we get to travel like this, I always think I've woken in the middle of someone else's lovely dream.
