It's Monday afternoon and FedEx comes to pick up two bags tomorrow afternoon. The packing is almost done (good thing by now). I have arranged for a lot of tours along the way. The highlight for me will always be or trip to Greenland. That is the sole reason why I'm booked on this voyage. Since I was born in Greenland I just feel that I have to go back and see for myself the environment that my parents and older sister lived in many years ago...... Now that they are no longer with us, it has become very important to me these last three years to get off my duff and just go see for myself. Here are the ship's tours that I have booked at this point:

I never realized that there was so much to see in Iceland. And I can't wait to see your pictures from the Loch Ness tour. Travel safely.
Bon Voyage, Jeff. I look forward to following your adventures on your blog (as usual). Best wishes and safe journeys.

Enjoy Jeff and I will be watching the weather reports.
I really do promise not to laugh too hard if I read "snow".
Enjoy the east coast of our wonderful country and the US dollar will come in handy.
I'll try and include a photo all bundled up against the cold just for you Whitey.... also, don't be surprised if there is one of me sunbathing up around Greenland.
