May 18, 2013 MAGIC EBTA - Who is with us?

[MandyGirl]

Thanks for posting this. I missed seeing the Magic's 3-night Bahamas cruise departing on the 16th.

No problem.

 

[MandyGirl]

went to a family indoor fun area today, oh my (x*&%*$) i flew off a
slide, landed right on my coccyx, im sure its fractured, i cant move

thats what the big kid inside me gets

Any video??

 

[MandyGirl]

we are planning the same too, not set in stone yet as i think we will go via New York ,
but really want to visit Dallas and San Antonio.
i need to remember the name of that restaurant i did google pics

So if you end up in Dallas, I vote that Curt, Brian, E & E share a car driving to Galveston. You, me, B & S can have the other.

Would anyone be intersted in a running club during this cruise? I was in charge of it on the EBPC. We meet the first morning and I passed out running logs for everyone. We meet in the mornings on deck 4 for our walk/run and those that wanted to do their workouts at a later time could and just filled out the log on their own. At the end of the cruise, I handed out certificated for those who hit a half marathon, marathon or ultra marathon while on board!

Let me know if there is any intersted. It looks like we will be joining you (DH too!)

 

[kris3kid]

Of course we can decide Sara.

How many cabins will we split the groups into for the Fish Extender?

How about 15, 20, 25???

Will go with majority of the people who respond to this

20 sounds like a good number to me. Can we also get the kids gender and ages? I have some cute ideas that would be fun for different ages and genders for the children.

 

[binkytell]

probably easier for me to just copy/paste save you all going back and forth.

the is the up to date list of those that of pm'd to sign up for fish extender.

im hoping to get the running bug, my new year resolution was to up my exercise, plus my sister in law is turning 40 and she is trying to get as many people to sign up for half marathon in october.

so if i do start i will definately sign up as that would be my motivator/kick up the butt i need to keep it up

Yowie! I had coccydynia back when I was pg. You gotta buy the pillow that looks like a wedge of cheese with a U cut out on the fat side. Don't get the donut pillow. My butt feels your pain!

Binkytell, gentle hugs to you

I'd be interested! I tried running on the Wonder on our first cruise and it hurt my knees something awful. Our second cruise I made sure to walk two miles a day and hit the gym. Name the time and I'll be there

My DB would be really interested in that

If DCL is looking at a 6-week dry dock for the Wonder in Europe, they wouldn't begin it in early August.

Princess and Royal Caribbean have had major dry docks of some of their ships in Victoria, BC.

I'm from the UK so Europe isn't that bad to travel too - even for 3 nights. So would rather the Wonder be over here as I would have already been on the Magic. Although I wouldn't have the holiday days for it - I already have a US road trip booked for 2014 and we are planning for Tokyo Disneyland which excites us more then another Disney cruise for now!

 

[Viking_53]

Are you sure? DCL told us that they are transporting from Bush only????? That was the only reason we booked a flight on United instead of Southwest!

Our travel agent called DCL and confirmed that they are running transportation from Hobby through our Transatlantic cruise. They asked for our flight information, and our reservation has our transportation listed from Hobby.

 

[twopeasonepod]

Besides limos.com, does anyone have a recommendation for transportation from IAH? We are a party of 6, so private works best.

 

[GoofyNewfie]

Never been before. The truth be the Caribbean, Alaska and Mexican Rivera are the only cruise destinations out of the 20 or so we have done. Everything you can advise us about would be great. We are flying right to London after the cruise and spending 2 nights.

Hey gonecrusin, sorry for the late reply. Been out of commission travelling and got back just before a 2 day blizzard that knocked out power.

I'm a Canadian that's been travelling back and forth to London for about 6 months now for work. There's lots of stuff to do. With 2 days, you're going to have to really get choosy to decide what to do. Do you want to see museums, castles, trendy stuff, etc. I've been to many of the museums and quite a few of the in-town touristy things.

I know nothing about your likes and dislikes, but if I knew what I knew now but had never been to London, I would do 1 day of hop-on-hop-off bus (Original Tours?) and one country-side tour (Premier Tours). I'd probably do the windsor castle/stonehenge tour. It's so easy to walk around London but the hop-on/hop-off will give you good narration. And here's a tip for that - if you're not getting a good narration, hop off and hop on the very next bus. I'd say about 2/3 of the guides are good.

My wife's never been to London so this is approximately what we are going to do. We have 1 extra day than you.

 

[GoofyNewfie]

But if you want to know more about the trainride straight or thru the Alphes let me know and i will check it for you!!

I don't mind doing my own research but I keep getting stuck trying to find the right website. There are so many resellers or something.

Can you point me in the direction of the best website to use?

Small seats are the worst! I flew a domestic flight (in China) on ChinaAir once and it was HORRIBLE. I couldn’t even get into the seat. I am tall for a female (6’) and while I am not huge, I am an engineer and not a model for a reason! I couldn’t get into the seat in either direction. Worst two hour flight ever. The seats were just not meant for someone my size. Lesson learned, the rest of my flights, I flew first class. I could not have survived that way on an international flight. Thanks for the tip, I will try and avoid SAS.

I'll second SAS having small seats. I had to fly in Europe on them once and when I tried to sit down, my knees hit the seat in front before my butt hit the seat. That was a bad 6 hours...
