I think some cruise lines stop in Mexico at Ensenada before heading across the Pacific from CA in order to have a "foreign port." One way cruises out of their new Long Beach terminal to/from Hawaii with land packages at the new DVC resort and/or Disneyland would actually seem like a very logical...

Tried to send you a PM, but it didn't work. Hi Deanna, I was taking a study break and surfing the DIS and saw your post on the WBTA. I starting nursing school last week so we had to cancel. I'm loving school, but will miss seeing you again. DD still knits to "de-stress." You are a big part...

Just had a moment to pop on before leaving for school and wanted to wish all of you Bon Voyage and safe travels. Nursing school started this week. I'm almost never on DIS anymore. I love school and am glad to be here, but I'll also be thinking about all of you and the fun you are having each...

So sad, I just realized I need to change my signature and take this cruise off pirate:

Thank you all for your kinds Congrats on my acceptance to nursing school. I really hadn't expected my application to be competitive this round since I am still finishing up the last of my prerequisite classes. I was shocked and thrilled when I got the notice. I hadn't expected to get in until...

After paying rent in the Bay Area, they are lucky to have ANY furniture at all:rotfl: Uhmmm, yea, that was an issue in some places in Spain (and Italy too). We jsut always made sure to have a couple of kleenex (facial tissue) with us in a pocket.:rolleyes1

The good news is I have been accepted to nursing school:banana::banana::banana::banana: I have been taking prerequisite classes for the past year toward this goal. Now the bad news, school starts July 12, so I will officially be cancelling this cruise later this morning:sad1: I know you...

We stepped aboard the Magic for the first time on DD's 2nd birthday (7 day Mexican Riviera). We've been hooked ever since! She had a wonderful time and so did the rest of us. We did use Flounder's several times so that we could spend time with the older kids and that was nice. I think we used...

That's the way I see it too! I'd be sad to not be cruising, but really happy to be in school!:thumbsup2 This is my last semester or prerequisites. I'd been taking 2 classes a semester, but decided to go ahead and finish everything up this semester with 5. If I don't get into nursing school...

:) Hi all! We are still booked on this trip and REALLY want to go, but our Fall plans are still so much up in the air. I'm applying to Nursing School. I won't know if I get in for Fall 2010 or Spring 2011 until mid to late May:eek:. If I haven't heard by final payment day we will have to...

That is really cool information! We were on the 2007 EBTA and we had fireworks in the middle of the Atlantic! It was really cool. We also had one of the most amazing fireworks shows I've ever seen to welcome the ship to Barcelona. The fireworks were launched from the pier and there were...

The area should be fine. We walked from here to Las Ramblas and the area in between was a bit "iffy" - inebriated folks midmorning, lots of yelling, and some sort of fight had just taken place with a bloodied face. The kids and I doublestepped and caught up with a group of Spanish women walking...

Just checking back in. 2010 is already eventful - DH is minus an appendix! I re-signed up for the new roll call - New webpage is wonderful!

In 2007 we had a number of packages. I think I had one for 500 minutes for $150? It was great to have the capability to send emails to DH, but be forewarned it was SSSLLLOOOWWWW and would randomly disconnect losing the email I was typing:mad:. I finally figured out it was best to log on and...

I'm not sure of the ages of your kiddos, but mine really liked Parc Guell. It was designed by Gaudi (sp?) as a planned community, but is now a wonderful park with whimsical structures, sculpture, gardens, and yes, a playground. We also liked the farmer's market type place off of Las Ramblas...

The second route: the cheapest route is for one of you to check 2 bags and the other to check 1 bag for a total of $70.

Welcome aboard! This is going to be a great trip! We did the EB TA in 2007. I too get motion sick badly and was very concerned, but it was ok. I took bonine everyday and wore seabands. Some people say seabands are all in your head, but they work for me. A couple of times I would have a...

The Marriott Rennaissance Hotel is right by the airport and has a free shuttle to/from the airport (or at least they did in 2007).

We stayed here (on points) after the EBTA in 2007. It is a very nice, modern facility. The only drawback was it is in the middle of a business park. The only choice for dinner was the hotel restaurant (not very kid friendly) or taking a cab ride back into Barcelona. Otherwise, the place was...

I was on DCL's website this morning. All categories are available again. The Cat 11's are $70/person more, but it is actually cheaper than my current ressie since there is no fuel supplement. I looked into cancelling and rebooking our ressie, BUT I would lose my assigned cabin and also have to...
