DIANA is FINALLY Shutting Down or Shutting Up??? ... It's BON VOYAGE TIME!

Can you believe it? The day is finally here...our exotic bucket list adventure began over two years ago, back in March 2011 when the Vaughn’s & Davis’ initiated this journey by booking our deposit for our 32 Day Asia to Alaska Cruise. Wow! I’m stunned, its been two years already! 

Thank you so much for joining us! It’s so exciting to know that we will be visiting some 6 different countries, 14 different ports of call, relaxing and enjoying 18 fabulous sea days getting spoiled by the Diamond Princess (oh yeah, bring it on!) and spending it with some 20 something cruiser friends (the closest 20 something I can get at my age, I’ll take it!). 

We also began our journey by kicking off at a Cruise Orientation Luncheon which got our adrenaline pumping with excitement and anticipation. We, (Alex, from Innovative Travel Planner, Roger and I) hopefully made the Orientation worthwhile and fun by an informative opportunity to meet one another, share with you some fun and provided raffle giveaways for simply being there. Our Capital Seafood’s luncheon was spotlighted to provide you with a small peek to the wonderful world of gastronomical adventures that we will hopefully be able to experience on this trip, from Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, China, South Korea to Japan.

In conclusion my blogging days for this travel trip has now finally come to a close. But not with standing some 113 posted articles to hopefully connect and assist some of you with helpful tips and easy reference to cruising and travel related information. Or quite honestly remind you do get it done on your ‘To Do List’. Also Roger and I hope that you have gotten a chance to take advantage of our cruise gift to you by organizing your cruise documents which you all have now. And want to be sure to remind you to bring your cruise shirt for our to be arranged group photo on the ship, your door label and decor for our door contest and finally for those wanting to play or learn our sea day ‘progressive rummy game‘ ...bring your scoresheet and your mojo.

So let me finally shut up and shut down. The fun begins now and allow us to officially “WELCOME YOU ABOARD” , it’s for REAL!!!!... BON VOYAGE TIME EVERYONE! 
We will see you on deck, Yippee ---!!!
