Tomorrow is the big day. After booking this trip almost 18th months ago, it is hard to believe that this trip is finally here. We will be getting up bright and early to head to the airport. Since coming home from UF I have been almost constantly researching various things for this trip. I have gained a pretty good understanding of Paris and Barcelona transportation. I still have some work to do on Corsica and Malta, the two ports that we don't have excursions planned for.
I actually managed to get packed up yesterday, a record for me. Usually I am packing on my way out of the house. This is the least I have ever packed for a cruise, and my magical carry-on is ready to take care of me through the trip in case the Barcelona airport loses our luggage (something they have been known to do). This carry-on is really the greatest thing ever. It holds a ton more then I expected and is still incredibly light. I never thought it would be this easy to pack light, but my suitcase is only 2/3 full. Its all about changing your thinking. Usually we pack for the worst case scenario, you just have to pack for the best case scenario and decide what you really need and what you really don't need.
I can already tell you that the iTouch/iPhone is a must have for traveling. I have been buying apps left and right and it will be saving a lot of work throughout the trip. There are translators, currency converters, city maps, metro guides and route planners, mini travel guides, and a ton of other awesome stuff.
That is it for tonight. Time to get some sleep.
