- Had a bit of a scare yesterday morning when someone pointed out that our Panama Canal cruise had vanished off the Princess website! The cruise lines do sometimes have to drop a cruise - or sometimes they get an offer they can't refuse from someone who wants to charter the whole ship. And, it's not unheard of for people to first find out that this sort of thing has happened when their cruise disappears from the website. Eek. Good news though, it must have been just a little glitch because it's back again :-)
- I'm still slowly working my way through the to-do list for the holiday. It still seems just a little too far away to be real, but if the next 101 days fly by as quickly as the last 101, then I'll be sitting here typing that we're about to leave home in no time at all!
- I'm waiting for Royal Caribbean to open up bookings for the short excursions on our Caribbean cruise. The other day I was having a general look at what's available, and I got to our stop on an island called St Maarten. The island is actually part of two separate countries - the port where we stop part of the Netherlands, but the other side of the island is French. Quite a few of the excursions - including one I was looking at - go to the French part. So, the country count for this trip might go up to 16!
- Am getting back into my ancestry attempts again - the England and Wales census of 1911 has just been made available. This won't help with my mum's family, or with Paul's family, who were all already in Australia by then, but it might help with tracking down some more information about my dad's parents.
