6 Days Before Embarkation - Better Late than Never

Today, I soaked up some rays in the fake and bake. It was a spur of the moment thing. I suddenly remembered I had tanning minutes left over from last January, when I was toasting myself for a cruise to Acapulco, so I drove my fish belly white body straight down to the tanning salon.

I want enough colour so I don't have to wear nylons; just enough colour so there is some contrast between my white T-shirts and my skin.

Of course, I've left the tanning thing too late.

I've left a lot of things too late.

Like packing. We may not be getting on the ship for 6 days, but we're leaving home in 3,so it's time to quit planning and start doing. Tomorrow, for sure.

I've been making lists for months, which reminds me … I better add self-tanner to my list.

Packing feels too much like work, so I have been looking after other “important” last minute stuff, like changing my Facebook profile picture. I wanted it to reflect a “cruise” theme. It's from last year's cruise to Alaska. Just getting myself in the right frame of mind.
