79 days and counting

We've made our final payment for our August Aria cruise and now just waiting, waiting, waiting for 29 August and boarding day!

Our cabin still hasn't bee allocated which means I can't print any of our tickets out or select a boarding time (not that these seem to matter with P&O). We've got our fingers crossed that we may just get an upgrade yet!

We've got some OBC on our account so hopefully we won't have to worry about credit card holds and seeing that it is only 5 nights we shouldn't spend too much money. Hopefully the wine hasn't gone up since we last cruised. Although our last cruise was on the Ovation which was US$ at least this time it's aussie dollars, no exchange rate to worry about!

On a side note, I was checking out Scoopon and came across a fabulous deal for a 10 day China trip. $888pp including airfares. It looks almost too good to not book - as much as we love cruising maybe a land holiday would be nice to throw into the mix (in between cruises!)?

Not much else for us to do now before our cruise except work and decide what to pack. I do still have to book our car in, probably at Portside Parking, but will do that a bit closer just in case things change and someone drops us off and picks us up. We're thinking about going to a show at Qpac after our cruise so may stay the night in Brisbane when we get back but this hasn't been decided yet. Check our finances first.

Only 79 more days to go.......
