you know your cruise is getting close when...

[RachieLnnn]

Your departure date is in the 7- or 10-day forecast on the weather channel, so you can see if it is supposed to snow or be clear the day your flight takes off. :D

Everyone gets a haircut, including the dog.

when you are buying food for after the holiday because the expiration dates have started to come into range

(OK so not quite there yet - but I always crave bacon & eggs on returning home, so always have to have some in the fridge waiting:D)

[GalOverCs]

You have at least one window open on your computer to the ship's webcam at all times and compulsively watch it for signs of fog, rain or rogue seagulls

[packercruising]

Great idea! Thanks! :)

 

Some contributions from our group----

 

You know your cruise is close when your cruise documents arrive!

 

s close when you hit the tanning salon!

 

You've stopped the mail, put the snow shovel away, and bought a swimsuit with a snow storm prediction coming up.

[Anjanu]

you have sticky notes of what you need to pack/and or buy to take on the cruise ALL over your desk at work!!!!:D :rolleyes: :p

 

This is soooo me! I cruise in 30 days and I have a gazillion sticky notes, not to mention writing my packing list over and over again in the yellow note tablet!

[lawyerrose]

...the cats are pouting cause the suitcases are packed!!

 

You have kitties like ours??!!!:D They get ALL bent outta shape when they see the suitcases come out. Nothing as bad as kitty-pouting. :eek:

[Barbee524]

When you have 53 minutes left to work and less than 24 hours until you fly to Fort Lauderdale.:D :D :D :D

[5fathom]

When you can't get in bed because your wife's suitcases and cruise wear are all over the place !

[Lionesss]

When not only all the cruise clothes are neatly packed, but the school uniforms are neatly ironed and hung in the closet. Because when we return from our cruise school starts, and we are on parents quality time for 9 months

[ttownhawk]

You know your cruise is getting close when your husband swears he saw a seagull flying around McDonalds......and we live in Tulsa, OK.

[tallyho]

you can't buy green bananas!

[beth4652]

when you check the weather forecast for each port daily.

[SunnyCosmo]

When I go to the bank to get my supply of $2 bills....(it's a thing we do for tipping - twice as much money as a single but not as big as a fiver) They are particularly appreciated by those after you've left the country as they rarely have seen them.

[JHCALLAHAN]

You hit that last-day-at-work rip in the time-space continuum and that last work day lasts at least a week.:(

When your ship is on its last cruise before yours! and when all the Americans on your cruise thread are saying 'See you onbaord' as they are leaving already! (we are sailing - 23/11/07).

[beth4652]

When you have to turn down Christmas party invitations because you'll be sailing.

[Trainer]

I know the cruise is getting closer when Alan actually takes an interest in the excursion planning. We're 3 weeks out and we really did discuss excursions yesterday. (I'm almost all packed!)

[noel386]

:D you are out of the twenties and into the teens!!!!!! 19 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:p

[packercruising]

Rats, we aren't even out of the 100s yet. :(

[Pitchblue]

When you walk by the Christmas light section at Lowe's and realize you won't be putting any up this year 'cause you'll be cruising!!!

[tmitchell82]

When you turn on your "Out of Office" feature on your work email and put something to the effect in that says "I am not here and will not look at this, I am on a cruise and really do not care"

[RachieLnnn]

When you turn on your "Out of Office" feature on your work email and put something to the effect in that says "I am not here and will not look at this, I am on a cruise and really do not care"

 

LOL! I would love to actually put that and see what people say! :D

[johno95]

that's a good one!!!

 

Now that's extreme!:rolleyes:

 

You know your cruise is getting close when you can check the 'on time' schedule of your flight.:)

[packercruising]

Thanks! You are a whole lot closer to that than we are.

 

Happy cruising! :)
