Good morning from Stockton.  We are overcast and the threat is in the air, but hasn&#39;t made it to the ground yet.<br />
<br />
Today started out on the right note as our shore excursions opened and I was able to get all the ones I wanted.  I was really sweating the Edinburgh Tattoo.  Those tickets have been gone since January and I didn&#39;t wnat to miss out via the ship&#39;s tour.  Booking the excursions makes the cruise seem real now...well, that and the credit card bill.<br />
<br />
I&#39;m off to the theater today to suff envelopes for the kid&#39;s program this summer.  And the party never stops at the Kirby household.<br />
<br />
<br />
As so many other posters here, I&#39;ve been enjoying the journal very much.  There&#39;s still so much of the US we haven&#39;t seen, but cruising so gets in the way.<br />
<br />
We were out late last night and the morning came way too quickly.  I&#39;m about three tasks behind myself now, so I&#39;d best wish everyone a grand day out&#33;<br />
<br />
Cheers&#33;<br />
