Merion_Mom Posted July 3, 2006 #51 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Don't even need him...or the quartermaster... an officer just sets the computer and they can stand on the dock (well, actually leave with the harbor pilot) waving bye-bye, hop on a plane, and meet us at the next port. But my 5 are: 1. %#&* Platinum shopping guide...to try and get my money's worth out of it by getting to most of the ports included in it within a year (I know, it'll never happen) 2. Jack 3. Jim 4. Johnny 5. caffeine free diet coke (for the above 3 friends) :D I can understand that Jim would be good friends with Diet Coke, but I NEVER let my Jack mix 'n' mingle!! And Johnny mixed?? Oh, the horror! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kchesneylover Posted July 6, 2006 #59 Share Posted July 6, 2006 To the folks who listed duct tape: I'm dying to know what on earth you use it for! Inquiring minds want to know! Suze! TAKE IT. You just never know when your suitcase is gonna bust open. Ours did. Also, the duct tape is good for blisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookish Angel Posted July 11, 2006 #68 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I never leave home without 3 or 4 good books with at least one non-fiction book about my destination. If I have my luggage, passport and books, everything else I can do without as I am a traveler who does not take much with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missilecop Posted July 30, 2006 #74 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I too cannot function without my cpap. How do you carry it? Do you pack it in checked luggage or carryon? In a large inside cabin, is there a convenient location near the bed to use it? My list would include also: medicines Ipod wife wallet(filled) I carry on my CPAP not good if it gets damaged in luggage. I always bring extention cord and a power strip so I can plug in almost anywhere in the room. My last cruise the plug was at the foot of the bed on the vanity.
