Porthopper101 Posted January 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Once again my husband and I will be boarding Queen Victoria for another world voyage. After three world cruises, I am an expert packer. On our first cruise, we took eleven cases; we are down to eight. We used Cunard White Star to ship four cases and took four cases with us on the plane. Sorry the pictures are not very good. I took them with my phone.

Porthopper101 Posted January 11, 2014 Author #2 Share Posted January 11, 2014 We had never been to Fort Lauderdale. We decided to get here three days early. Our flight was to leave at 6:00 am. I was too excited to sleep. I get out of the bed at 2:00 am. The taxi arrived at 4:30 am. To my surprised, four big cases and two small ones fit in the Prius. We flew on American airlines; first to Dallas then to Fort Lauderdale. The flights were on time. The service was excellent and the food was quite good. We both had spinach omelet for breakfast and chicken pot pie for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcoy Posted January 11, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Porthopper Glad you made it down safely. I had a rental car snafu so my wife drove me down and made it to Ft Lauderdale around 3 pm. Now I'm going to have to pickup something extra special for her during the voyage. Maybe we'll run into each other at boarding. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
