At 9AM of Sept. 28, 2010, I received a call informing me that instead of Norwegian Sky, I'll be joining Norwegian Star before eventually joining Norwegian Dawn. On the same day, I was informed that I am to leave homeland on Oct 7, 2010.
Now, Norwegian Star will be my 1st home away from home. And just like Sky, I will start liking the ship. The places where Norwegian Star will take me are numerous to list. The journey will start upon embarkation on October 8, 2010.
Based on the published itinerary, Norwegian Star will be in LA, where I will join it, on the 8th of October from 8AM-4PM. From LA port it will sail to Cabo, San Lucas, Mexico. From San Lucas the ship will go to the following destinations:
Oct. 10, 2010 (10AM-6PM) - Cabo, San Lucas, Mexico
Oct. 12, 2010 (8AM-5PM) - Acapulco, Mexico
Oct. 13, 2010 (8AM-4PM) - Huatulco, Mexico
Oct. 15, 2010 (8AM-5PM) - Puntarenas, Costa Rica
Oct. 17, 2010 - Panama Canal
Oct. 18, 2010 (10AM-7PM)- Cartagena, Colombia
Oct. 21, 2010 (8AM-1PM) - Miami, Florida
From Miami, my course is uncertain still since Norwegian Star will be on dry dock from Oct 22 to Nov 3, 2010.

*San Francisco will be my 1st port instead of LA; hence, I will be off to US on the 5th. And, the countdown begins.
