10 Days and Counting!!

I can't believe that our cruise is almost upon us and suddenly I feel panic as I wonder if we have enough time to pack everything we need.  At this point (10 days to go) we have packed 1 case and partially packed 2 more cases.  We leave our very large one until last as this holds all our evening gowns and formal wear and this will be packed over this weekend.  
Around
A must take item on any cruise!
our bungalow there are carrier bags with things that we wish take such as chargers and a 4 way electric socket, this is a must on any cruise as there is never enough sockets.  We also take with us a supply of our favourite welsh tea which is not available on board ship.  I do not bother with taking coffee as there good quality coffee served on the ship.  We are also taking a bottle of two of Prosecco to have on our balcony.

The other item you will probably need to take are extra clothes hangers as there are never enough.  We like to take our own which include padded hangers for the evening wear but if you ask your cabin attendant they will arrange for extra wire hangers for you to use.  Like a lot of people I prefer to use my own hairdryer but one is supplied.  I alway have in my handbag a hand sanatiser, they are everywhere on the ship but I like to have one at hand.  
Today my new wheelchair backpack was delivered.  It is much bigger than my current one and has proper carry handles.  I like to do a dry run about a week before just to make sure that everything fits in that I want to take as there is no point in leaving it until the last moment and then PANIC!!! I can report that everything does fit and I breathed a sigh of relief!
