\"Packin3\"<\/a>Three days left!<\/p>\n

With only 72 hours left during this stint on the flagship, most everything is already packed. Unlike a lot of people who put off the dreaded beast of packing till the last minute, I started tackling the task weeks ago. When the GWV wrapped there was no need to keep all my theme night and formal wear out \u2013 I mean, one does not have much use for a medieval gown in Alaska unless it\u2019s All Hallows! \u2013 so it was easy enough to put all that away, which was about half my closet (there were somewhere around 16 formals on the GWV, that\u2019s a lot of ballgowns!), after that I just put a few things away a day \u2013 things I knew I wasn\u2019t going to wear in this part of the world, like my super light cow-girl style blouses that are just too flimsy for Alaska. The result of which is that now, with only two days left, I have only my uniforms, a couple of a pairs of shoes (rainbow shoes!!) and one formal left to pack. Except for the linens and the pictures off the walls which always go last. Fortuantely, this time I\u2019m debarking mid-afternoon (since we don\u2019t even reach port until 1pm) so I don\u2019t have to be up crazy early, I\u2019ll have the morning to box up the \u201chome\u201d part of my cabin. Which is a very nice change indeed.<\/p>\n

Whilst I\u2019ve been busying contemplating what should and should not be packed at this point, and figuring out just how much I have to declare customs wise (which is, surprisingly, not very much) \u2013 the flagship is making her slow and steady way toward our call at Hubbard Glacier, which is still some hours away at this point. At the moment, I\u2019m not really sure how much of the glacier we\u2019ll be able to see unless the weather clears up! It\u2019s so thick with fog outside that you can\u2019t see more than a few feet beyond the windows!<\/p>\n
