Planning Mode

I am doing more planning for our Baltic cruise, which is really close now. Two weeks to go! I posted our tours the other day, and thanks to the folks at Cruise Critic boards, we got a great price for four tours. We are playing $399.00 for four tours: two days in St Petersburg, a day in Berlin, and tours of Talinn and Helsinki. That's a fantastic deal, considering NCL charges almost $300 for  just one day in St Pete's.  Sweden is trickier - it's a tender port so people are suggesting we get the on your own tour from NCL which gets us to the center of town, and then everything is apparently within walking distance from there. We'll see, maybe we can spring for a full tour if only for convenience's sake. I mean, we have already saved money, so that may justify a "splurge." But seriously, I am so looking forward to another cruising experience. I need this vacation after all the life-changing experiences I have gone through. It would be nice to get away from it all, to be able to just chill. As much as I enjoyed my NY "fix," it was tiring, and this upcoming cruise promises to be a "real" vacation, so bring it on!
