Do you live near San Franscisco? Our son, Mike, who has cruised with us quite a bit, is at a law firm in Palo Alto for the summer. I was looking at their weather and it's rainy and chilly....he says he likes the change from Durham, NC! Or Florida, even!

We leave a week from tomorrow!!!

Great to see you are taking care of our ship! I have to tell you I am having an awful day at work and will be working this weekend to do the things I have not done today! You brighten my day but I must say I am jealous that my DH and I are not with you! Meet you on the 12th. Sue

Thanks for all the info Wow, there is a lot to learn about all the places we will be

Happy Belated Victoria Day!

We live right across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco and just a bit north of Berkeley! If there was no traffic at all (like that would ever happen) it would take us 45 minutes to drive to Palo Alto. My husband & Jeff tailgate at Stanford stadium for the football season (and neither one attended Stanford as students just as fans)

Hello from the Magic! Can't wait to meet u guys and see my old friends!

How is it?! So glad you made it there safe and sound! Can't wait to meet you

Is anyone doing like a live thread on the boards while we are on the Magic? Don't know how difficult that is? Want to let my mom know to look out for it if there will be one? We actually have sun today but still kind of chilly. Supposed to warm up this weekend for the official start of barbeque season

I'm sure there will be ... I plan on starting a thread before I leave, that is if someone doesn't beat me to it!

Back home from Germany. Man, those 8.5 hour flights are brutal!!! I HATE it when the person in front of me leans their seat all the way back! And the person in front of me was in the bulkhead row, so there's absolutely no excuse for needing more room! Anywho....

The weather in Germany was GORGEOUS for the first three days. It was very chilly coming off the plane at 5am in Amsterdam, but in Stuttgart, very pleasant. Of course then I found out that the highs had all been in the mid-to-upper 70's! Of course it was beautiful! The third and fourth day it turned rainy and cooled down.

I would say the last day I was there, the weather was about what I would expect in our ports - 64 degrees with intermittant showers. For that weather (and remember I am used to it being 85 and sunny all the time), I was fine with a light shirt, fleece sweater and waterproof windbreaker. I wore jeans.

So the girls have school on Monday and I'm off from work, sooo...I will get all the FE gifts put together. Then we have two more local holidays before we leave, but the kids get out of school for those, so there won't be any cruise planning...I still have to figure out how to surprise them with this trip. I'm thinking of a scavenger hunt at school the day we are leaving that would integrate some of the things they've learned all year with clues about the trip. They'll get home just before we will have to leave for the airport. If anyone has any ideas for scavenger hunt clues for a kindergartener and 2nd grader, I'd love to hear them.

Getting excited!!!!
