A Question for all of you savy Computer graphic gurus... :surfweb:

On the Castaway Club site there is a little logo of an anchor with Mickey ears on it. It appears to be a part of a larger .gif or .pdf Is there a way to get that alone... all by itself?

I purchased an anchor punch some time ago and may be using that for any cruise-related "crafts". I also wanted to use the logo.

HELP appreciated!
 
Had an awesome waiter in the Prom Lounge on the Magic last week (Victor from Chile) who, once he discovered my love of flavoured fizz, kept bringing me little 'tasters' to tickle my tastebuds!!! :worship: Naturally he received an honourable mention on the comment card... ;) Oh and they were serving a new one on me at Palo's brunch - Midori and champagne, YUM!!! Plus it matched my lime green cardigan... Maybe that should be my 'thing' - clothes to coordinate with cocktails..? :lmao:

Oh my...I hope your DH knows he has a contender for your affections! I had to warn DH the other day that it was lucky I loved him so much or I might have to leave him for the baker at this new cupcake store. Seriously...it was a salted caramel frosting on dark chocolate cake...who wouldn't?!

Hubby got a short notice business trip to London in November and I am going to tag along as I have airline credit that must be used. Never been to London or EVEN overseas so I had a lot to learn in a short time.

How wonderful! I've always wanted to go to UK! Then again, I've always had a little bit of a "Parent Trap" meets "An Affair to Remember" obsession with getting there on the Queen Mary. But I'd take what I could get -- plane, raft, whatever ;) Have fun!

Didn't want this to get buried in my last post. So for all the uber planners out there....

Easter for 2011 will be Sunday, 4/24/2011. That will be the Sunday before we board in LA on Wednesday.

Oh keee-rap. I didn't even think about that. I guess it will have a crowd impact on DL and flights? Well, no waiting around on flight deals this time around; better take what I can get!

So it will be interesting to be able to go out on the decks and not have sweltering heat/humidity... cool with humidity I'll probably like better.

Vigorous love of champagne cocktails? :rotfl:

We've sailed in January and in May -- DH shrieked like a school girl getting into the pool on the first and I contemplated heat stroke one day on deck on the latter. I too am looking forward to some sort of balance. That being said, the first time we went to SF I was shivering on some outlook on HWY 1 in September in a sweater and shorts. A lady walked past me, snorted and said, "Tourist! You know, this isn't Southern California" (and it's a good thing she told me or I might have gone looking for Tijuana but ended up in San Jose :rolleyes:)

Well it just isn't a Disney Cruise if it doesn't involve a Kir Royale :thumbsup2

Why not just make this the Repo and B2B thread. Why segregate when you can integrate??? ;)

:rotfl: I agree. I don't really know most of you yet, nor am I sailing on the Alaska leg, but I kind of enjoy reading about your plans :) Let us live vicariously through you (and I don't mean that as creepy as it sounds).

Only 3 months 'til Christmas! :santa:

Oh you did not just say that...:eek:

Anyone think that DCL will offer a wine excursion? Although I think it will likely be far simpler to just rent a car and do it ourselves. Last time we just picked up a car near Fisherman's Wharf, did Napa and Sonoma, brought it back in the evening to avoid paying the (insane!) parking fee at our hotel. Easy peasy! Though a guided excursion would be worthwhile if it involves vineyards not normally open to the public....um, oh yeah, and a driver i.e. not having to spit out the wine quite so much :rolleyes1
 

when this Wonder stops in San Francisco. My plans will prob be to get to Japantown somehow, try to go to the Golden Gate Bridge, Pier 39 and go to Alcatraz and I know I won't be able to do all of this prob, but those are things I want to do. I love San Francisco when I went in November of 2008
 
The last time I was in San Francisco was... :rolleyes1 a LONG TIME AGO... in the 1980's. I LOVED it!

There are so many things I'd like to do... ride the trolleys, go down that curvy street, go shopping at the Pier (LOL!), and buy some Sour Dough Bread! :thumbsup2

Is this the one you were asking for?

I can remove the square border for you if you'd like and just leave the round emblem. Just wanted to make sure I got the right one.

by curvy street you mean Lombard Street, yeah I want to go down that as well. I just loved San Francisco.

funny story about that curvy street, I was nervous going down the first time we went down it when I was in San Francisco. Then later that same day my mom, my dad, and I went to muir woods and if you ever went there to road going up and down seems like death road. My mom and I nicknamed it that because we were scared while on it, at least my dad was driving and he was nervous, but anyway the next day my mom had Akido with her friends so my dad and I went down Lombard street again and it was great compared to going to muir woods:lmao:

YES!!! You are GOOD! I'd like the round version, if you can...

Thanks! :thanks: Thanks! :thanks: Thanks!

Love your family pirate picture!!! Arrrgh!
 
LOL, when I think of SF I realized I think FOOD! :rotfl:

Our last trip we had Dim Sum in Chinatown by 10 am, then Focaccia at Liguria and truffles at XO in North Beach by noon! :rolleyes1 Well actually, we bought about 15 of these tiny little truffles thinking they'd last us a long time, but they didn't even make it 6 blocks. Very attractive, sitting at a bus stop sucking chocolate off our fingers. I'm not sure I can visit without going back, yummmmm. I also just found out a guy I went to high school with owns a candy store in North Beach too, so it just gets worse and worse calorie-wise for me.

The Alcatraz tour is so fun! Though that hill to get to the top *gasp, wheeeeeze* I wonder if by late April Lombard will have all those pretty flowers you see in the pics? It is kind of a scary road, but half those roads over there scare me. I'm always amazed how people can park on those roads without all the cars just rolling over like dominos.

BTW: watch out for the guy behind the bush in Fisherman's wharf!
 
Well, we definitely plan on doing the B2B, but I don't think I can get all the deposits together until mid-October. That $2400 for Alaska is killing me. Hopefully, there will still be a cat 4 room on both that we can have. We'll hit DL before the repo. I've been once, but no one else in my family has ever been. Should be a fun trip!
 
The sad part is that it appears we will be sailing into the bay very early in the morning since the ashore time is 7:30am (does anyone remember the big welcome into LA that first time back in 2005 - not).

We might get a bigger send-off the next day since all aboard is at 3:00pm and it's a Saturday.

Ken

I remember... you mean the REALLY BIG WELCOME (NOT) Right! :rotfl2:

That was a sad morning... getting off the ship after 14 days (sigh)...
 

Ken... When is your special bike ride? It's soon isn't it? There may be some folks here that don't know about it and would like to help! :goodvibes

Hi Again Georgie

The Arthritis Ride starts on Saturday, October 3. Only one week to go. It actually starts in San Francisco at Pier 39 - just a short walk from where the cruise ships dock. This was a tough fundraising year for many of the riders. As a group, we are trying to reach $1 million - but we are still a little short of that goal. As you can see in my sig below - my donors have been very generous again this year. $10,895 as of today.

Thanks for asking!
Ken
 
What are you doing Georgie?? Starting on your FE gifts already?? :lmao::lmao:

I too love San Francisco. Used to work for Levi Strauss so I spent a bit of time out there.... :thumbsup2
So many things to see and do. With two days, it will be great. I'd love to do the Wine Train if it's still running Some kind of wine tour of Napa or Sonoma is number one on my wish list! Gotta see the Walt Disney Family museum opening next week in The Presidio too!! A one day BART pass can get you to a lot of places! Fishermans Wharf, Chinatown, Girardelli's too!! Maybe two days won't be enough!! :lmao:
 
Just in case that other Mickey anchor was too small I whipped this one together. It has a little more size to it if you want to do more with it.

Ha Ha Ha!!! FE Gifts... Already??? Me???? Maybe... :rolleyes1 You NEVER know...

No... not yet!!! Just getting ideas! But... you know me.

I think the FE gift count will end up being even MORE than even the PC cruise!!! :scared1:

Hey... What's a BART Pass... Is it a train??? :confused3


oooh Girardelli's... Pepermint Bark! MMMM

OKAY... Off TOPIC... I just saw that the prices of Wii's are coming down to $199 starting Sunday! :yay:

Is there a NEW version coming out too? Looks like now we should FINALLY go and get one so I can play TSM, which I already bought, with the hope that someday we would buy a Wii! :lmao:
