Husband Joe and I have finally recovered from jet lag, new year's lag, laundry lag, and beer lag. We're back on track and...getting ready to go again.
We walked around so much in the UK, I actually lost weight! I guess you CAN drink five beers a day and still lose weight. Of course, we had to walk a million miles. Oh, well.
This trip will be very different - much more lying about and waaaay fewer beers...unless there's a really good selection on board or we do a brew crawl in Sydney. I have hope.
Yesterday we were out buying a few provisions and found everything we needed except biodegradable sunscreen. The reefs we'll be snorkeling are protected...many are UNESCO heritage sites...and you can't just bathe yourself in oil and then swim around looking for Nemo. They (those omnipotent bastards) require that swimmers/snorkelers use biodegradable sunscreen. Which, on the whole is not a bad idea, come to think of it. We'll look for it the day we're in California, and, worst case, buy it upon arrival or on the ship (likely totally overpriced - hence the worst case).
Today is examination day. Unlike the UK trip prep, I already know where the power adapters are. The camera is ready to go, and we have appropriate luggage. BUT! It's been awhile since I put away my summer stuff...time to dig around under the beds and find it all.
Time to get motivated!
