[SoCal DCL Newbie]

Hello all:

I'm a bit overwhelmed - I just found this discussion board about 30 min ago and I'm amazed at the community developing around this cruise! The Fish Extender thing (which I googled and eventually found you) seems a bit too much at this late stage - but I'll be observing from the sidelines. This will be our 2nd DCL, last was Mediterranean in 2013. There's 4 of us: me, DH, DD (12) and DD (9). My mother-in-law and niece are coming too as well as another SoCal family. We'll be in London 4-5 days ahead as well - and scooting right back to Heathrow upon disembarkation. Is there a planned time to actually meet face to face? Thanks much and nice to "meet" all of you and thank you for this great source of practical information!

FISH EXTENDER EXCHANGE UPDATE!

I just finished attempting to send all the final FE groups to participants. However, I hit a few roadblocks along the way.

I was not able to "start a conversation" with the people listed below. I'm guessing it's because of the settings since the new DIS format was changed a couple of months ago. Please send me a "conversation" (private message) as soon as possible so that I can "reply" to it with your group details. I would hate for you to miss out on all the fun!

Everyone else should have received a PM or email from me, depending on how you originally contacted me with your family's details. Please be sure to let me know if you signed up but did not hear from me.

Thanks a bunch!
