The ubiquitous picture of the shipped luggage!
This luggage was picked up on December 26th and will make it's way to Brooklyn by next week where hopefully it will make it to our cabin. In addition, we'll be bringing two smaller cases with us on the train.
Although this trip is our longest trip to date (113 days) I was able to scale down our packing quite a bit. As a 'perk' for early booking we received free laundry service. In addition there are free laundromats on each deck of the ship. This is not common on most ships, but Cunard does have them. Very convenient.
Right now we're planning to stay Wednesday night in Boston before heading to NYC on Thursday. The ship actually leaves on Friday the 3rd but it doesn't hurt to be down there a day early. We're going to spend the night in Boston first just because it takes a little pressure off the train trip to NYC and also I found that Boston hotels are really cheap on New Year's Day! Who would have thought?
We haven't been to Boston for awhile so it's like a vacation before we start our vacation. Of course all of this is dependent on weather and right now it looks like it's going to be okay.
