08/15/2009 -Eastern- Tortola Treasure Seekers

[caitlinsdad]

I think Andrew's making a list of potential name suggestions on the 1st post. I love the fact that Tortola means Turtle Dove - might be nice to include that in a logo..?

Just wanted to add a cruise style ticker to remind me of how long...

​

Don't forget Tortola is also noted for The Callwood Rum Distillery - A historic Rum manufacturer. You think the Turtle might be looking for the Rum?

Well, he certainly looks happy enough!!!
Maybe he's the original Tortola Treasure Seeker...?

We bought into VWL in 2000 (never took a tour - my dh just decided and that was that!)

You see, that's the sensible way of doing things! Back in 2000, DH and I just couldn't convince each other!!! Mind you, we took the tour at Vero and I don't recall realising VWL was available...

...Now I'm waiting to see the new ones that materialise!

Same here! It's a seriously serious addiction - like DCL cruising seems to be! Currently I'm very excited by the prospect of Hawaii...

Yep the price was pretty amazing and I KNOW that it will never happen again so that's why I jumped on it. That ship must have had a lot of inventory because when I asked about buying an upgrade they asked..what do you want? - I could have had anything between a 6 and a 3. Lots of fours left and there were 3 cat 3's to choose among. This year I asked and there was nuttin!

Wow!

Thanks for keeping it up!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were on the Med repo in Aug and it was very relaxing (btw we are booked on the PC repo Aug 2008, so see you there!).


'The people on the Med cruise were so so nice, some had a meet in New York this weekend.'
Sounds a fab idea. I can't believe how this has become such an active thread already.

Here are our details for your list:
Joan
DS Tom 17
DD Sophie 15
Cat 7 6134
Late dining
Will stay at WDW after cruise in DVC

The Med cruise was excellent and the repo in 2008 will be fantastic, I did the repo in 2005 so know the route and cruise well.-Come and join the ( active) repo thread. It has a supporting website as well.

Did we agree on a name for the group yet??
I looked up Tortola and it means: Turtle Dove

We could put a twist on the name and call our group the: Turtle Tortolas and then if we do T-shirts,etc we can place a sea turtle on them. What do you think??
Or we could call the group: DCL"S sea Tortolas group?
Just tring to think of any idea?LOL

I have put the names to the front post and we can decide soon, lets get a few more joining us, I wan to ensure that new cruisers find us easy.

Yes they now know! and the kids love the Villa! only 18 months away!!!

We have always stayed onsite either/both Disney and Universal, I intend us to spread our wings more, with less Disney Parks.
