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.
