Central America - Here We Come!!!

Today is the day we take flight for more Southern climes. We fly to LA, then Miami (red-eye_, and then on to San Juan, Puerto Rico where we catch our floating hotel. We set sail at 11pm that night (Tuesday) for Curacao, Aruba, Columbia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Mexico (west coast for a change).

We're pretty excited. It's 8am right now and Rich is catching a bit more sleep. I retired WAY early last night while Rich played on the 'puter.

Packers knows something's up. My mom came over briefly yesterday (grandma) and the cat gave us "the look". Mom fed her some treats and then she wouldn't leave Mom's side. ;) Good thing they get along so well. Lately, we've been calling Packers the princess of the house and a bit of an old maid.

Now she gets a vacation from us (mainly me) and can just sit around and sleep. She does that best. We're gonna miss her so much. She's sitting right here beside me on the chair and looks so cute on her pillow. Yes. She likes her pillows. Yesterday she sat atop a body pillow folded in half AND a throw pillow. She just has to be "on top" of things. :)

Well, I gotta go and get the last minute packing finished. We did 90% last night. Now it's the "what did we forget" stuff and the stuff we needed for our last night at home.

This will be different for us leaving late in the day. Sure hope the wind-storm won't affect our flights. So far everything is on schedule. Will continue to check.

Perhaps will try to blog from the cruise. Have laptop/blackberry, will travel. At least while I still can. Keep in touch. Email me as well. I'll try to keep up.

In the immortal words of Tigger... TTFN
