We're getting ready to hit the seas again--for the next 4 months. We board the Seabourn Sojourn, a 450-passenger vessel, Saturday for 116 days from Los Angeles to Venice, going west. Technically, it's only 115 days, since we cross the dateline and never get that day back, but who's counting??? The following is our itinerary. We will post every few days as we travel--we'll announce a new post on Facebook.

We've already shipped most of our luggage--it takes a lot for 116 days. There were 6 suitcases, weighing 284 pounds. We will travel through spring, summer and fall and will be in many places where we can't run out and buy a tube of Crest. We think we're prepared--it will be interesting to see what we've forgotten!!!

Our first stops are in Hawaii, so you'll hear from us there (if not before).
