Update
30 September 2009 by Don.
Applying for visa was no problem other than traffic getting to the Consulate. I as in and out in 10 minutes. Will pick up visa in 3 weeks.
Better than 2 months now. Boarding passes are printed. Now time to start packing.

Visa
28 September 2009 by Don.
Tomorrow I need to go get our VISAs. Hope I don’t have the same problem that some fellow passengers from LA area are having with this.

Snorkeling
21 September 2009 by Don.
I hope to snorkel Champagne Reef again on this cruise. We have one other port-of-call with a real snorkeling opportunity but we did this excursion last spring and really enjoyed it - maybe we’ll do both.

Anyone see a Peugeot?
19 September 2009 by Don.
Not now, but there’s a good chance to see a Peugeot on day-2.

Looking forward to a Pint

On the 5th I hope to find a Pub after we do some shopping at M&S.

Get the world map out
14 September 2009 by Don.
I’m estimating that we will cross the Equator at about 6:00 AM on the 12th and again at about 6:00 AM on the 14th

A real Hint
13 September 2009 by Don.
I dropped the ball and haven’t posted anything in 10 days so I better say something substantial. The cruise will cover 6 time zones…
Good Luck,

Congratulations to the winner!
3 September 2009 by Don.
Well, my final payment has been made (there’s a hint). The $100 on-board Credit winner was “JackLee” with a good guess but he/she almost missed the boat.
For the fun of it, I’ll keep the challenge going with another $100 on-board credit* for the first person who identifies my next cruise.
I’m looking for cruise line, ship, ports, and dates.
Time is of the essence - submit your guesses early!
Everyone who submit’s a guess will get an extra discount on a future cruise and the winner will get a $100 on-board credit*.
Note: Some hints are very obvious and others are hidden. I’ve been posting hints for over a month and will continue to post at least one a week.
*Contact me to book a 7-day or longer cruise Celebrity, Holland America, or Princess in a Balcony stateroom to receive your on-board credit along with the best possible rate. Booking must be made by 31 Dec 2009.

Reading Material
1 September 2009 by Don.
I’ve ordered my Kindle, now I need to start adding books. Let’s see, I’ll need a book for each sea day but I’ll probably only read half a book each port day except for the last day. 16 books, does that sound right?
