Another 100 Days Gone

Well it is time for that 3 to turn into 2 on our Princess countdown widget. The only problem was that in the last 100 days for some reason the widget clock as re aligned itself with something which makes the days click over at 2 am in the morning.... so you can understand for me to get this screenshot means that I had to set the alarm for 1.45am ......... well that would of made for a good story until Garry suggested that I just go in and change the internal clock of the PC and the widget will adjust itself again.... ok ok so I cheated and I did this before I went to bed...

So this last 100 days have quite eventful as we have been vicariously living our world cruise through the blogs of this year’s world cruisers. We are carefully reading these blogs which help in determining what we should do when we visit the same places next year... I am pleased to say that this years bloggers have taken us under their wings and are constantly feeding us tips along the way...

Each morning after I have made the lunches kissed and waved everyone goodbye I get my cup of coffee, sit in front of the computer and look up each blog in the hope that someone has posted an entry since I checked last.... ( that would be just before going to bed ....... oh and did I mention every time I walk pass the computer throughout the day ). As I said in my last entry when we know that the Dawn Princess is about to dock at a port there is frenzy of messages on our Cruise Critic thread with everyone trying to get the best webcam shot to post on the list.... actually it is a really nice gathering of like minded people . ( a nice way of saying “Tragics”).

I would like to thank this year’s bloggers as they are doing a wonderful job ... not only do they keep us inform but they are so prompt with their entries.... as for someone hanging on their every word this is a real bonus.... and each have their own style and their own little trade mark like Phillip and his quotes..... Garry thinks that we should do this and go prepared with spare quotes incase we don’t hear any LOL.....

The idea will be keep it simple and don’t turn it into a chore otherwise all the entries will go by the wayside... which is my biggest fear as I would not want to let my followers down....

Speaking of Followers if you are following this blog please sign up as a follower, with a big list of people that will certainly keep the incentive going!!!

Whilst I am in charge of the port research and blogging, Garry is in charge of the Video...... who needs to spend $350 on the Ships DVD when you have my husband onboard ...... He has been collecting some great footage of the places we will visit so he can blend it in with our own footage to create our own major production ( Steven Spielberg eat your heart out)..... Whilst Garry is Producer, Director, cameraman and editor, my input will be Musical Director and No 1 Critic LOL... My job is collect music along the way to match up with each of our ports... Any Ideas ?
