Leaving this morning....

Bon voyage! is a French phrase borrowed into English meaning, literally, "good journey", and usually translated as meaning "have a good trip".

See you there!

Don't Shoot The Messenger

I'm posting long-range forecasts for the spots we will visit (long-range in weather-speak is anything beyond an hour). Please note today's postings show a rather cooler period in Rome, Monte Carlo and Florence vs the forecast a few days ago. Weather forecasting is not quite the science in Europe and Asia as the United States so expect more swings in their guesses until we get much closer to departing. Alas, the lifestyle is different - if it rains - c'est la vie.

Update

Hi Cruisers - I've moved a few things a around to help get the main page to load a bit faster. I've moved the Google Maps (except for Rome) and the hotel Google Maps to the Annex and deleted a few things that are probably no longer necessary. Also, some people who were experiencing problems found that downloading the latest Adobe Flash Player clears up their problems.

That can be found here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Let me know if this works better for you.

Your long range forecasts can be found directly below.

Hints From The "Cruise Diva" On Currency

• When in Europe, pay with the Euro in European Union (EU) countries and local currency in others. No US dollars! Also, American Express, MasterCard and VISA are widely accepted.

• Know your conversion rate when making purchases - as of this morning - you can find conversion rates elsewhere on this site

• When your plane lands is an airport currency booth or ATM. If you are on your own, you'll need taxi fare to get to the port or your hotel. (I'd suggest the ATM - your bank will charge you but its usually a better deal than the currency booths)

• When changing dollars to local currency at foreign banks while in ports of call, identification is often required. If the ship's purser is holding your passport, carry a copy of it ashore, along with your driver's license or other form of ID.

Updates To Websites

Hi Cruisers, with just days to go and a Swine Flu "crisis" at hand, I thought I'd put some useful links on the Annex that pick up Google News related articles by key words - click on those key words to bring up the stories. Also here on the right hand column at the top of this page is a link to the Business Travel Coalition Swine Influenza Dashboard - kind of neat with links everywhere, if you cannot get enough.

As we approach departure, I'll put up some long range forecast information for the US and Europe regarding the weather. Looks like current conditions in Europe are not average - lots of rain in northern and central Italy.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Twenty Days To Go!

Hard to believe!

A few more adds to the links on the right hand column - links to Rome's Bus & Metro and Roma Pass. In the annex there are a few more port cams and a couple of live cams as well as some videos.

See you all soon!

Visit The Annex

I've created an Annex for additional cruise information. The link is to the right. Currently there are maps from the WikiMapia for places we will be be - the maps highlight places to see and if you click on them you'll get more information, photos, etc... Enjoy! And let me know if you'd like to see anything else in the Annex.

Jim

New Additions

Hey fellow cruisers...

We are just 4 weeks away from sailing. I've added a few things to the blog:

• WikiTravel Links to places we will visit - check them out.
• A couple of great links to where our ship is at the moment - this will give you a position on Google Maps - great for family back home who want to know where you are
  
• Some videos on places we'll see and the Crown Princess just to whet your appetite
  
• Some port cams from various locations so you can get a glimpse of where we will be
  
• For those of you worried about the exchange rates - a converter plus a tracker for current currency conversion, especially the dollar to euro
• Google Maps for each location and a handful of the hotels our group will be staying at while in Rome
• A feed from the FAA on current flight delays - keep an eye on this as you head to the airport
• Some of Jim & Susan travel photos - we have probably 25,000 or so from the last several years so its hard to pick some but...
• Links to major airlines so you can set up text messages or emails on the status of your flights
• A to-do list you can customize for yourself (don't delete the cookie)
• An interesting widget from TripTouch where you can select your country and city and get all kinds of information
• If you are bored - a Sudoko puzzle - give it a try
• A double clock for our two timezones while cruising
• And a world clock

If there is anything else you'd like to see, click on comment at the end of this post and leave me a message.

Jim

Where is the Crown Princess now?

Click on the heading of this post and you'll be taken to our ship's current position. Enjoy!
