Prep Work

Beginning on May 10, Fe and I will be taking a cruise that leaves Dublin, Ireland, travels up to Iceland, over to Lerwick, Scotland, and then back to Ireland on 5/20.  We're flying out of Pittsburgh the 9th and I'm taking to 21st off since we'll be getting back late.

This will be a vacation of firsts:

• First trip with just Fe and me since the boys were born.  Actually, it won't be just Fe and myself.  We're going with my dad--who suggested this trip to us last year.
• First cruise for both of us.
• First time the boys will be on their own (for more than a day).  Yikes!

It's a Celebrity Cruise on the Eclipse, which to my landlubber eye seems pretty big--16 decks!  It looks like there will be a lot to do while we're at sea, but I got the free WiFi package just in case.

Now to iron my clothes before I pack them to be wrinkled again.  More to come later.

Shipspeak: Left is port, right is starboard.  The front is the bow, and the back is the stern.
