At Last!

Today is Tuesday March 8, 2016.  It all starts March 22 with a flight to Istanbul. That is only 2 weeks away. We booked and paid for this trip 2 1/2 years ago, finally we have arrived!

Time to prep. I was starting to organise for packing Sunday when I realised I was missing my backpack. I left it in the park model in AZ. After my initial panic attack, I remembered our former Saskatoon neighbours were returning home via Cardston this coming weekend. They agreed to bring it to me. We were to meet at Timmies on their way through Lethbridge anyway. That meant I had to contact friends with the key to hunt it down and bring it to them. All is well with the world.  I will have it early next week.

Our Cruise specialist called today to say our final papers were ready.  It's pretty exciting!  Woohoooo!

Viking is an amazing organisation.  They gave us a personalised book detailing our excursions, recommendations for restaurants, and all the information we need for the trip.
