Packed and Ready

Well, we are all packed and ready for the airport van to pick us up tomorrow morning.  Amazingly,  we are going with only 3 suitcases plus carry-ons.  We could have done it with only 2 suitcases, but we decided to spread the load so we'll have room for souvenirs if we decide to buy anything.  Plus, 3 lighter bags are easier to manage.  This is actually the least we have ever taken.  We usually fill at least 4 suitcases when we travel, but for a change we will be in only one climate zone, so we can do with a little less. Also, this cruise has no requirement for formal attire.

Tomorrow we fly to Amsterdam via Chicago.  We won't arrive until the next morning, but we have a room booked at the hotel at the airport so we can get a few hours sleep and make an effort to time adjust before meeting up with the cruise on Wednesday.  I don't sleep well on airplanes, so the extra night is essential if we are going to begin enjoying the trip properly.
