I went to Barnes and Noble today and contemplated all the different guidebooks. I didn't take one home yet though, I have a cruise to Hawaii for this Christmas that I have had booked for 14 months and I am still planning for that one just now. I did get a couple of books to read on the cruise.
This is a little embarrassing to tell

, but I am taking the B2B2B. I am doing the 10 night Med, repo to Dover, and then the 1st Baltic. All in a Cat 11. I know this sounds crazy but I thought it over carefully. I had two Caribbean cruises (Dec. 2009 and Dec. 2010) planned and was looking to book Alaska for next summer. With the cost of those, plus airfare, it was not all that more expensive to just move it all to this itinerary. Might as well see as much as I can while I am there. It is a long flight.
I hope I don't have to cancel out of any of these because of money. I have a plan to pay it out but it is going to be real expensive. I absolutely will not put any part of this on credit or dip into my savings. I am lucky though to have a great job that pays well, so we will see.
