Packing those bags!!!!

Well.....this is the hard part. The bags are full so I really need to sort them out. We are going into summer. The 30 C degree days are going to take a bit of getting used to. Not sure what the laundry facilities will be like in LV and LA but surely we will find a laundramat??? With the temps being so high we may go through 2 to 3 changes in a day. The ship has a laundry on each floor but from past experiences doing your laundry on the ship can be quite scary!!! There seems to be unspoken rules....and you darent cross the line or those looks and gestures can be quite nasty. But then on the other hand I have met some wonderful people in the laundry. You tend to get those that say nothing, others that just ask...'is that machine free' and those that love to chat. So it takes a brave person to venture into a ships laundry!!! I remember on our Xmas cruise with the kids whenever it was Blakes turn he would take command and it didnt matter that other passengers clothes were in a line for the next use of a machine.....as far as he was concerned if you are'nt there with your clothes you miss out!!! Quick as a flash his washing was in!! Another day down at work....tomorrow I will do the statements early which will leave 2 days next week for all those other jobs. Hopefully we are in for fine weather here this weekend as the lawns and gardens need attention. I will feel better knowing that they are done...........I have been chatting to an Aussie couple on our cruise thread. (Website for passengers on our ship) They are also travelling with friends, boarding the Princess Dawn in LA, spending a few days in LasVegas, and bugger me if they arent staying at our Hotel which is now the Flamingo. So cut this story short we are all meeting up in Jimmys bar at our Hotel, 5pm on the 7th August for a couple of drinks. So that will be great. We will at least know 4 other people amongst the 2000 on the ship when we board on the 11th. We have also been emailing other couples from Oz and USA that we will meet up with on our first night on the ship. Today at work Neil and Loey (friends of ours)called in to wish us safe travels. They were in LV this time last year and they have given us a few tips on what to do, where to eat etc: They know we are going to love LV.
