Five weeks away, packing is a bit of a challenge as our two cases are not overly large. Forced the shoes into the carry-on bag - made the cases easier but now they weigh a ton(told you a million times, don't exaggerate!) The prep for the trip wasn't great. Granddaughter's birthday bash went on to 3am & left us putting the great grandchildren to bed. It was nearly all great but left us exhausted. It not completely great as there was a super spreader present and loads of people have developed colds & coughs including YT & DB.
The start of the trip has been a bit stressful, airport's checking in software hacked, big delays - the route to ship boarding involves a change at LAX to get to the port in Seattle. Don't want any delays. Started well, cab at 5:30, smooth ride around the M25 parking lot, checked in, bags dropped, through security and sitting in the cafe with coffee & breakfast by 7:30.
Flying with Norse, something over 11 hours or so, I hope it's not too uncomfortable. Premium Economy should help.
Just ordered dinner on line for the LAX - Seattle leg. Modern luxuries, eh?
