Ithocles Posted December 27, 2010 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2010 On the 27th of next month, one month from today, we will be in Miami preparing ourselves for the cruise leaving on the 29th! I started this countdown over 150 days ago, so it feels very good to be this close. Thinking of how close it feels today as compared to a few days ago made me wonder what countdowns you all really look forward to. For me, hitting double digits was pretty darn exciting. I thought 50 might be a little exciting, but not so much. This is the first I'm really feeling like it's just right around the corner. I guess the single digits are next... What countdown milestones do you all look forward to? -Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknotted Posted December 27, 2010 #2 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I only have to push the trash barrel out to the road (we live out in the country) 3 more times before our next cruise. I don't hate hauling the trash, but it's easier to think "only 3 more times" than to think only xx number of days. Oh and by the way...we should be in the teens soon too!!

Disconnections Posted December 27, 2010 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Not looking forward to the wait between my January cruise and my March cruise. Might have to book a pack and go in February on the Imagination, Inspiration, or Sensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celticd1 Posted December 28, 2010 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2010 With a countdown that started at 730 days ( :eek: ) I have a LOT of milestones...under 700, 600, 500, 400, only 1 more Ground Hog Day, only 1 more Christmas, etc., etc.. You get the idea! LOL The one I am most looking forward to is single digits! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtw68 Posted December 28, 2010 #5 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Fortunately, we haven't had a real long countdown, but we are down to 1 day, 12 hours, 21 minutes (not that I'm keeping track or anything :rolleyes:) until we leave for Charleston and then cruise this Saturday. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brittainy Posted December 28, 2010 #6 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I like to count the working days left until our cruise! Before I started work today I was in double digits (10) and now I am getting ready to leave so I am in the single digits for that! Only 9 working days to go, 12 days total. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricew001 Posted December 28, 2010 #7 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I hit the "TWO WEEKS" away mark last night. That seems fantastic since I booked the cruise 6 months prior to the actual sailing. With just less than two weeks I am now counting down and writing down what needs to be done each day (mani/pedi, pack, dry cleaners, printing, house sitters, bank, meds, etc...) Last night my husband said I was OBSESSED. oh yeah? well he wouldn't have half as much fun if I wasn't obsessed! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgerrish Posted December 28, 2010 #8 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Only 110 more days til we sail the Valor with family and friends and then 224 days til we Spirit away to Alaska on a surprise birthday cruise with our best buds!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallas52 Posted December 28, 2010 #9 Share Posted December 28, 2010 only 7 days of work left till we leave for the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebuell Posted December 28, 2010 #10 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Haha, I'm lucky if I remember I'm going on a cruise any more than 2 weeks ahead of time. I tend to space these things. I also have a habit of not really researching where I'm going/staying. I went on my first cruise not really knowing what ports it went to. On my second one the only reason I knew was because it was the same as the first one. And, nope, I have no idea where my April cruise is going... I don't even know how long it is (it's either 3 or 4 days, I know that...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithocles Posted December 28, 2010 Author #11 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I like the way y'all think! And I'll be using a few in the weeks to come. I' going to have to do what some of you are doing, and book two cruises out. Then I'll have two countdowns!!!! -Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWcruisers Posted December 28, 2010 #15 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I count the number of sleeps left. 7 more sleeps, 6 more sleeps, you get the idea. Hey LHP congrats on completing the fleet. Cool accomplishment.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.C05 Posted December 28, 2010 #16 Share Posted December 28, 2010 When we originally booked this cruise it was for Feb. 2010 but then I had to have emergency surgery with unknown multiple follow-ups so my husband cancelled that and rebooked the one for Feb. 2011. I cannot believe it's in 2 months! Can't wait! First it was just out of my mind with everything going on, between work, flying for follow-ups, doctor visits, etc. and now there are no more doctor visits or flying.....just a wonderful countdown to our cruise!!! Hopefully this time, NOTHING gets in our way! Sorry got carried away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted December 28, 2010 #17 Share Posted December 28, 2010 One week before so we can make sure we have our meds before the cruise. The night before so we can pack and leave in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGP1111 Posted December 28, 2010 #20 Share Posted December 28, 2010 My current 'very special CCL cruise countdown milestone' is just the number 1. :) Has nothing to do with hours, days, week, or months. Just simply the number 1. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceleven Posted December 28, 2010 #21 Share Posted December 28, 2010 We had an earlier countdown because our cruise on the Splendor canceled in November because of the fire so we had to re-start our countdown. But now we are in the single digits for our 1/1/11 cruise on the Dream. I don't like scheduling holidays too far out into the future. I'd prefer a month, two at the most.

FireMonkey Posted December 28, 2010 #22 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I get excited at double digits, then singles, then count work days. So as of right now we have 1 month until we sail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clinthi Posted December 28, 2010 #23 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Under a hundred days is when I start getting excited....and the anxiety kicks in about not losing weight ...haha! But I like fun countdowns :p I only have one more filter change until my next cruise! (HVAC 3-month filter) I only have 3 more hair appts (monthly) I only have 6 more paychecks (YIKES!!!!)

AndrewD65 Posted December 28, 2010 #24 Share Posted December 28, 2010 This was the most on my countdown, 180 days. My first cruise was 120 and that took forever to go bye. These last 180 days flew bye like nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
