Is there an item that you pack that would be

OOps..............almost forgot...............I never leave home without my eye mask, just in case we should get an upgrade to an outside cabin which we don't request, I need to block out that morning light to sleep late.

I do generally what has been listed already but this time I am going to bring my small bullet blender to make smoothies in the afternoon. With all that fresh fruit laying about why not have a party.

I bring a journal, and I write once or twice a day. A couple of times, while writing in the library, I was mistaken for a crew member.

Last cruise I had a Carter quick release kit for a 14" Delta bandsaw that was in my luggage. I'll bet I was the only person on the whole ship with one!

Bodger, I have no idea whatsoever what that is. Is that something I should know??? :huh: :huh: :huh:

I take my "squishy" pillow for sleeping at night - between my knees. It works two-fold - it helps my bad back and makes for a great birth control device :o)

I also take my T.E.N.S. unit - it works wonders on sore muscles and neck aches (the kind you get from too cold air conditioning)

Most likely not.

I am a hobbist woodworker/woodturner, and this is a device that allows a forgetful/lazy person to release the tension on the bandsaw blade so that the band does not stretch or take on a funny shape from sitting too long in one position.

It was on sale at Woodcraft in Pompano Beach and being a somewhat obscure item is not readily available in Canada, so it made sense for me to purchase it and bring it back home. We flew in to FLL a day early and were coming home right after disembarking, so it traveled with me in my suitcase. The box was about 18"x4"x4" so was manageable.

I would have been extremely surprised if anyone else on ship had one! I won't be packing one for the next cruise, but if I find something else on sale you never know.

(BTW a 'bodger' was a person that worked in the forests of Britain in centuries past, turning wood items like chair legs and stretchers to sell to chairmakers.)

I usually make copies (in color) of all our documents but this time I sealed them in photo laminated pockets. I put the copy of our passport picture page on one side and the signature page on the other. Looks great and waterproof. I am going to carry the copy with us off ship as it has all our info on it and leave the original in our safe on board.
