It's been fun reading Scrapnana's daily blog, A Winter Crossing, and her daily account on CruiseCritic's Cunard page (just found that today). I have finally given up on the two large checked bags plan. I think we could have made it work, but I finally got to thinking how heavy our 50 pound bike cases are and thought maybe it would be easier to have 40 pound cases instead, which will also abide by the Cunard 20 kg limit, even if it means 3 bags (Southwest airlines allows 2 bags free for each of us). That will give some expansion for all the "stuff" we find along the way. Having toured by motorcycle for many years and more recently by bicycle, we're pretty good at only buying small souvenirs :).
Hoping to see (via webcam) the Queen in New York on Sunday :).
Sounds like the weather is continuing to impact the QE (hurricane force winds and 30 foot seas don't appeal to me) - late into NYC, a day late to Fort Lauderdale, skipping Nassau, Bahamas. Some are glad to have the extra time in NYC (staying an extra day) and another day onboard before FFL, but travel issues for getting back home. I'm thinking that maybe winter crossings would not be my thing :). Hoping for the best for our Pacific crossing next month, but will be well prepared with my variety of remedies :).
