42 Days And Counting.....

Updates.....

I posted about my attempt to register our trip with Foreign Affairs on 50 Days And Counting.....(November 16, 2015).  Readers may recall that the online registration had a maximum of allowable entries for locations on the trip itinerary.  I emailed the registration department and they responded very quickly.  I was asked to email them the balance of the itinerary and they would update the registration from their end.  I have received notification that all the trip details have been added.  Another tick!

I have finalized our excursion plans for Cairns, Australia.  We are now booked and paid for the Kuranda Scenic Train and Skyrail trip.  We will have to walk a few blocks from the cruise terminal to the hotel where we will be picked up at 10:00 am on February 19, 2016.  There is a refundable cancellation before February 15, 2016.  Tick!

There are only two power outlets in our suite aboard the Silver Whisper.  As we are bringing quite a few bits of electronics I decided we should consider a power bar.  I found one designed for travel on amazon.ca.  I ordered it this morning along with 2 more TSA approved luggage locks.  The power bar has a cord management system which folds over the outlets making it easy to pack and two outlets on each side.  A picture of the power bar appears below.  Tick!



And the planning continues.....
