One week to go. The countdown has begun. By this time next week, I'll be sailing to Bermuda. And you'll be reading this after I've returned from the cruise. (Sorry, I never post in real time anymore.)

Until today, I didn't give the task of packing for the trip much thought. But, having to take RQS home along with my large suitcase made this cruise seem a little bit more real to me. So, I printed out a packing list to make sure that I didn't forget anything.
I plan to keep presenting as Marian until I leave for RQS's place next weekend. And then, I'll present as Mario for about a week and a half. On a ship where most people still get dressed up for formal night, I'll be envious of RQS, as she has the freedom to dress in a way that makes her look her best, while I'm stuck wearing clothing which doesn't let me feel my best.
When we go to the cruise terminal, we may have to deal with traffic jams caused by NYC's "Tunnel to Towers" race. Our arrival time at the terminal is scheduled for 2 pm. However, we plan to get there early enough to deal with the expected long lines at the terminal. (Brooklyn's terminal facility is not known for speed, and it handles large passenger volume poorly.) The last time I cruised out of Brooklyn, it took me over an hour to pass through the gauntlet to reach the ship. Hopefully, by getting there later than last time, I can avoid the early bird processing jams.
One week and counting. Hopefully, RQS and I will enjoy this trip....
