Expiring milk and luggage tags... :)

[CanadianTwosome]

Thanks to Terry, I am starting to watch the expiry dates on my milk in eager anticipation of seeing the first one that is dated after December 16 - when we leave home for our Sky Cruise. As of last night when I got the mail, though, I realized that there is something else that truly signifies that an upcoming cruise is almost here - luggage tags!! Sure, they came in an envelope with other items, but it's the luggage tags that really mean something - they've got our cabin number on them!! :p

 

I feel a little like Steve Martin in 'The Jerk' - "The new luggage tags are here! The new luggage tags are here!"

 

I guess this means I'm going to have to start working on my packing list now... :)

I love getting my lug tags too! But I am so crazy with anticipation that I am usually packed about 2 weeks beforehand. I know, I'm wierd that way. It goes back to one cruise where I was sick right up to leaving and my head was in a fog. I literally could not focus to pack. Luckily we had a few days in LA before sailing. I think I had to buy a few things I'd missed packing. And by sailaway I was 100%. That was a relief, since it was a huge family reunion cruise for my cousin's 50th!

It is so neat when the date gets close, and little things mean so much...first, yogurt use by, then milk, finally the meat counter sell by date. Another, for us, was today it became single digits on the countdown.

LOL.. We get excited when we get the luggage tags as well.. 8-)

 

Dec 16th will be here before you know it. I look forward to reading about your adventure on the Sky. I don't know much about that ship, few people seem to post about her.

The expiration date on my half and half is January 10th!

For real NCL mails the luggage tags:confused: I thought you printed them off the website with the e-docs. Go figure

 

I hope everyone enjoys their cruise.:D

Sometimes it's one or the other, or both. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason.
