In the way of an update

I know it has been a bit and frankly I don't have much in the way of news -- other than I've been working really hard. Here's what I've got right this second.

1. Shore Excursion confirmations are going out in the mail tomorrow.
2. Cruise Confirmations for my Canada folks are going back out again tomorrow -- long story, but let's leave it as I'm US Postal Challenged -- and I've ordered UPS international stuff for your documents!!
3. We have MORE sponsors. Our friends at Blue Moon Fiber Arts are pitching in some prizes -- let me just note that I got the sweetest note from them and sorrow that they can't join us. In addition, yesterday, I heard from one of our newest additions, the heart behind Stitches from the Heart that she will be donating some items to us to help raise awareness of her charity. I'm going to say, go to this site and read some -- I still have a few tears.
4. And finally, I'm waiting on some information from a hotel in LA that does Park and Cruise (for you LA folks) and shuttles to the pier. I'm working with them on a deal for the night before the cruise, this way if you come in the night before you can get to the ship EARLY! Details will follow -- but if you shoot me an e-mail or a comment letting me know if you are interested or have made the flights to do this -- it will help me talk to the manager to let him know how many to plan for. (LA folks, this would completely help with any traffic concerns you would have on a SUNDAY morning -- not that I'm saying LA has traffic ;) [Thanks to AuntyNin for pointing out I'm not reading a calendar well. I was so excited over finding a hotel close with a manager to help me -- I forgot it was Sunday.]
   

So, things progress here in SeaSocks Central. In case you were wondering we have NINE cabins left. That's it. As of right now, I don't have any more. If they sell out, I may be able to get a few more from Royal Caribbean, but we may be close to selling through the cabins. In case you were counting, this is DOUBLE my original expectations!! You guys are amazing.
