We were upgraded from a Cat 11 GTY to a Cat *8*!!!
I can hardly contain myself!!! I'm hoping I can keep it secret from my DDs! I'm telling them we're cruising on 12/5, but I've decided to keep the upgrade a secret (they've already been warned that *IF* we ever go on a cruise, it will be a Cat 11 or 12
)
We got our docs too!


I'm using a TA, which I've never done before, either, so I'm assuming they'll send it all to me when they get it. I'm SUCH a control freak, though...I want my stuff!!! 
That cut into my
over receiving the docs today, but he said it should be signed with no problem, so I'm hoping it's soon!
We are in a sideways cabin on deck 6. Should be interesting. I can't wait. We flying out the day before and staying at the Radisson at the Port and staying an extra day after the cruise at the Pop.
Whether or not we do this trip has been up in the air since we made the ressies last spring because my mother is seriously ill and I didn't know how I would feel about being far away from her. So, I've tried not to get excited about our cruise (and prior to that a few days at BCV). But, when the UPS man arrived today boy was I excited, and as of now, the trip is a "GO!"
Now it's just a matter of waiting a little while longer for my DME stuff to show up and she'll ship it all to me. I can't BELIEVE it's less than 3 weeks now!!! 
Got my docs today and confirmed my upgrade! I wanted to just read every word, but DDs kept popping in my office (it's still a surprise), so I had to put it away until after they go to bed. ARG!
Can't believe it's 2 WEEKS from tomorrow!!!
