oh thank you so much! They all look so exciting, it will be hard to choose which ones to go one? When can we actually start booking the excursions? My cruise is in June.

It depends...are you a new DCL cruiser? If so, then 75 days out, which is sometime in April, I think. If I remember correctly, I can book excursions on March 17th for the June 15th cruise (silver CC member and 90 days out).

Where did you decide to stay in Barcelona? I thought I had read through this whole thread but I must have missed something

I booked an apartment thru this site:

http://www.aspasios.com/barcelona

I didn't change it after I booked the flights. We decided that on the off chance that we couldn't stand it we had a place to nap. We fly in about 7am, so a place to put luggage is good, too. And, I got a good rate....!!!! Probably their error, but have emails to prove it!

The first class was called "packing light and right". I giggle when I say this. Refer to previous discussions of clothing/outfit preparation. This woman traveled 3+ weeks with a handbag and a carry-on size suitcase. Ain't happening here, not intentionally anyway. But, she was informative and for those of you interested, they will be posting the travel festival videos on You Tube soon (according to them...not there as of right now).

I got some literature from the festival that I have yet to peruse. It was little books that they give as supplements for their tours. I will report back if it is anything interesting...

I was looking at my siggie and realizing that we're just over 7 months out! WOOT! Remember when I started this at the 499 day mark?

For those of you interested in the packing video. I am not sure they have EVER posted the most recent one but it's basically the EXACT same talk that was given in April Just search YouTube "rick steves travel festival"

Did anyone else who has already booked a Rome in limo reservation get the email about the prepayment discount? Thoughts?

Personally, I'd love to get it paid and out of the way. In Rome, it would shave off $85 off the total bill and $43 off Pisa/Lucca (at today's conversion rates). I loathe coming home to a really big credit card bill.

Kim, there won't be a credit card bill. He wants cash. Besides it would only save $15 pp to tie up our $ now.

And when we get to Europe it'll be my CC that the $ is withdrawn from. Hence the bill upon our return.
