I am so excited, I now have my Passport. Also by the end of this week the Visas my carers need will be applied for. Mr and the Missus (my carer) are seriously planning the packing, warm clothes, thermals and summer clothes for each end of the cruise. The master, Old Cog, has put some very interesting info on his blog and many people have been reading it. So I had a look through it as well. The sleeping quarters look very comfortable. Not going to try the swimming pool, no salmon in it! We Bears like Salmon. Hopefully there's salmon in the restaurants. The Missus is planning to take lots of photos and I will choose the ones to go on this blog. I hope we get to see the Smoking Hills. I think we might even see the Northern lights. Am going to start packing, Toodle pip.
