When I booked the Grand Event Cruise on the Oceana (sailing on the 3rd July 2012 to the Fiords [in Norway Smile ) there were:

467 sleeps to go:

Now however, there are just:

11 more sleeps to go;
11 more sleeps to cruising;
11 more sleeps till the big fella gets on that boat,
with his bird and her boy;
11 more sleeps to cruising.

The packing has started.

New toothbrush; new toothpaste; new razors; new deodorant; new cologne; new wash bag.
Camera prepped and charged and nice shiny new memory card installed.

My adventures will [of course] be recorded on my blog at: – http://podgethepuffer.com/cruising-adventures/fiords-2012/

Until then however, I’m going to bore you all with The Grand Event Countdown every day. Winking smile

175 Years

I think it was about this time last year when I first became aware of the 175 year birthday celebrations for P&O that were being planned for July 2012. The most significant aspect of the celebrations were to be the fact that ALL 7 of P&O’s cruise ships would be in port on the 3rd of July 2012 and that they will all depart in a grand procession. I don’t believe that such a spectacle has been seen before and the whole event promised to be an unforgettable experience that I simply wasn’t prepared to miss out on. And to my good fortune, I was able to secure two cabins on the Oceana for a 7-night voyage to the Norwegian Fiords. The cruise sold out within 48 hours so I felt very fortunate to be part of P&O’s celebrations.
All this was a year ago and now, here we are within 12-weeks of the big event and the excitement is really starting to build. Now, the planning / preparations begin.
Watch out for more. 🙂
