I got home from side trip to Israel late last night. Flights were not bad. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be aside from the 23 hour total travel time!
We did 't get there until 8:45 but did find ICollectBelle &her family, rashdecision & his family, gg.leigh, pinmeister (Frank & Nancy). Sayhello met us in las rambla for dinner and rode the metro with us. It was a neat show. The third show was Disney themed.
Jeff, I really enjoyed meeting up with you & your family, and the tapas (which, ACK! I still owe you for!!!!) and the fountain. Table 32 was just totally, completely AWESOME!!!! A big highlight of the trip!
We're onboard. Took us just under 30 minutes to board from the time we got out of the cab. Time to get in rooms is 1:30. We spent 60 euro on breakfast at hotel and now we're not hungry for the free Disney food. Not terribly smart on our part.
Jeff, the Blue bus from the Columbus monument --- NOT a good option! Took an hour & a half to get on the bus! Should have just taken a taxi, even if it would have been expensive. Ah, well! Live & learn!
Hey all, I miss you guys already and it has only been like 12 hours. Just wanted to let you guys know that I made it to London alive, yay!! Now off to find Jelly Babies. I blame you Jane!
Sarah, I hope you're having a WONDERFUL time on your tour! I miss all you guys, too!!!!
Great to hear Sara. We checked into our hotel, did the city history museum and our Segway tour, which was AMAZING! Tomorrow is our flight home.
I wish I'd been able to do the Segway tour. Sounds like a blast!
I made it home at midnight MST last night not after some delays on my JFK-Denver flight. We were delayed about 20 minutes due to the incoming airplane being late. When we got boarded, we had another 30 minute delay to fix the bathroom. We started taxiing to the runway and then had to wait another 20-25 minutes because of an incoming medical emergency that they needed to keep the runway open. Just as we were getting ready to take off, the pilot said they may have a ground stop in Denver...luckily we got clearance to take off before they issued the ground stop. We had to circle for 30 minutes over Kansas before being allowed to land. We ended up being about an hour late. We were lucky....many flights were canceled into and out of Denver due to severe storms, tornadoes, and egg and baseball sized hail.
It was wonderful to meet all of you guys. I had a wonderful time. Hopefully I can get some thoughts on the trip posted with some of my pics.

It was so great getting to know you! Glad you made it home OK. Sorting through my pics for a report is going to be a major effort!
Table 32 ROCKED!
We are sitting at our gate in Chicago waiting for our last flight to Huntsville. We're definitely doing an Alaska cruise, just haven't picked out which one. It was a lot of fun for myself and my family to meet so many of you. And for those at Table 32 - you're the best!
I totally agree re: Table 32. Not planning Alaska at this point... But stranger things have happened!
This was our first cruise ever and boy did we get lucky.
The people were fantastic, the weather was perfect and the ports of call were amazing.
We are hooked on Cruising. Nancy & I are already talking about Alaska for next year but it probably won't be a Disney cruise. We want to do a Sea and Land tour which Dis does not offer (at least as of yet).
Thanks again to Jeff Spencer for all of his hard work and time. All his efforts helped in making the cruise what it was, absolutely GREAT.
Hope to see many of our new Dis'er friends on future cruises, we miss you already.
The
ABD Adventure Guides did say that ABD/
DCL are considering an ABD/DCL Alaska trip like they did for the Med, since the Med trips did so well. Nothing specific, but it's likely it will happen. Not sure if it will be a land/sea trip (since the ABD goes nowhere near where the cruise goes) or a whole new itinerary to go with the cruise. I'll let you know if I hear anything specific.
Glad to be home, but I miss all you guys. What a fabulous, fabulous trip with Amazing people!!!!
