Two weeks, the count down begins

Tomorrow it will be 14 days until be leave on our holiday. We fly from Regina to London, where we spend a few days visiting relatives and then on to Barcelona where we will board our cruise ship for 12 days in the Mediterranean. The time we are gone is a total 19 days, we will not have access to any washing machines and it costs a fortune to have something laundered for you on the ship. We will do some of our own hand washing in the sink and they usually have a sale about half way through the cruise where they will wash all you can get in a brown paper bag size container for about $25.
How to pack for nearly 3 weeks??? It is a bit mind boggling as we will go from the cool March air in London to the heat of Egypt. We will go from the casual Capri's to the dress up for dinner attire on the ship. We will need walking shoes, sandals, and dress shoes. We will need umbrellas to sea sick pills......
This is just the start of putting a few things together that has to be packed, next will come clothes and other necessities.....We are taking two medium sized pull suitcases as well as two back packs. What you say?? Leave the laptop and accessories at home....You have to be kidding... How would you be able to follow along on my blog daily as I relate the tales of each day of our trip? I wonder if that is equivalent to watching someones home movies of their last holiday.....
