What's All This Then?

My wife and I are going on a 35 day cruise. Yes, I said 35. It will obviously be the biggest thing we ever do, so I decided to share my thoughts on the planning, and eventually the cruise and ports itself as it happens. I'll hopefully be uploading some photos as well.

ALL OF THE PICTURES HAVE NOW BEEN UPLOADED.

Mar, 2011 - The Beginning (part 2)

We go out to dinner. Throw a couple drinks down the gullet and then show her the itinerary. Yep, predictable. “How can we? How can you get the time off? I LOVE IT!”. OK, preliminary approval given. Work out the finances (35 days ain’t cheap), running the cheapest stateroom, and also for my choice a Verandah Suite. Given that it’s a year and a half away, there’s plenty of time. I desperately want the suite because it is 5 weeks, and I want a space that feels like home, not a tight box. Usually I have no qualms about the smallest cabin, this time’s a little different. I expect to spend a fair amount of time hanging in the cabin.
Numbers work. Will take a lot of saving, but do-able. Next step is to convince Neesh to go with the Suite. Takes some doing, but my logic (or insistence, more likely) wins out.
Now for the tough part. Work.
