10/02/04 Antigua Cruise

[Auntmeme]

We'd love to be counted in for the brunch also.

Viking - can you please email us a list of the actitivites?

We're still trying to get a decent rate on airfare. Amazing how they advertise $79 but they don't add all the taxes & xtra charges and then the dates & times are a joke. We probably will come in on friday so I think we'll look at the radisson or ron jons. The radisson at cape canaveral, right? pics look great online and for $119 which I think is a great price and am waiting for quote from ron jons.

Only 45 days - yippie

Any family actitivities planned for Antigua?

Ave:
Count us in for the brunch at Parrot Cay!

If Disney went to Alaska, we'd definitely be among the first to sign up. DH has always wanted to go there and prefers to do an Alaskan cruise before we do another DCL sailing. Wouldn't it be nice if we could do both together........

Sent a PM about the brunch -- count us in. We can wear shorts.

Back to work. Trying to take a day off this week but so far doesn't look good. Arrived to 8 voicemail messages!

AVE ... Count in Art & I for the Brunch too! Jus think, no stampeding to make those darn reservations for PALO. The way they have treated you took too much fun out of it. Especially when you looked around and saw all those empty tables.

So far I have the following set up for the name tags ...

Viking Relling Twin
Cheese Please Papa
@GoofyNut TwinAve
CDNMickeyLover BetteMom
ARLO1 PADisneyFan
SarahsMom Hygiene99
Piglet33 Jeanneg
Jeanniec SueCot2000
Two-Foxes Laurarn
FridayFun CiadriaMom
Twhipple Zapp1213

If anyone else wants them, please let me know.

I've been watching the Olympics too and am a little disappointed in two things. 1. Where the heck are the spectators? 2. I wish the USA had more distinct uniforms. Some of those athletes must watch every bite of food and exercise 24/7 to get those bodies. I feel so bad when they just barely miss out on a medal ... how do you time a 1/100th of a second!

 

[@GoofyNut]

OK, I've edited the way the Tag List names came out three times but they still end up that way ... sorry, hope you can read them!

 

[piglet33]

I found my name on your list so I'm happy .

Reneé

 

[cdnmickeylover]

Found my name on the list too. Can Jim have his own -- usetheforceluke He tries to post more but has trouble from the home computer as it seems to time out a lot.

Back to work -- suddenly swamped with stuff to do. Was hoping to leave early but it's not looking good.

Fiona

 

[@GoofyNut]

Fiona ... Not to worry, Jim is officially USE THE FORCE on his tag.

Also .. We have Mrs Viking, Mrs CheesePlease, Mrs Papa, Mr RellingTwin, TwinAve's DS, RellingTwin's DD, etc, etc ... if you want something special, let me know as I have not laminated them yet. (I figure there might be some changes)

BTW ... Bette or Kim, will there be any special guests with you like last year? I think I will have one with us (not AshLee)!

 

[usetheforceluke]

suddenly swamped with stuff to do

Yup, me also. Looks like I'm going to miss my afternoon nap for the fourth day in a row. I'm getting concerned about this because if you don't keep at it you begin to lose the talent and I'll have to start doing stuff like going to bed at like 11:00 p.m. instead of 4:00 a.m., and be almost normal. Awful situation... leads to stuff like ties and haircuts and "Acting Your Age". Blah.

Nametag: Should read "usetheforceluke".

What does "HCC" stand for anyone?

Jim.

 

[videoman]

Ave...just sent you a pm about brunch - we would love to attend!

We would like to get in on the name tags also....if not too late!

Thanx


PS....Viking - could you please send me the activities list (seem to have misplaced it )

 

[Hygiene99]

Avé please add us to the brunch list.. What day is it on Again ??

Ok Who is Stayying At Ron Jon's ???

we just booked a Couple of Nights there....


Peter

 

[cdnmickeylover]

Jim will be getting a hair and beard cut before we leave. Otherwise you wouldn't recognize him. It's on his "to do" list although he doesn't know this yet.

Eric -- sent you an email. Hopefully you'll get it ok.

Back to work so I can leave. Is it only Tuesday?

Fiona

 

[Twinave]

Twinave, Rellingtwin, papa, Goofynut, Viking, Hygiene99, Fiona&Jim, Bette&Kim, Nancy&Norm, piglett, auntmeme, jeanneg, videoman, cheeseplease,ciardsmom, twipple. If I didn't include you please let me know. Also details of Brunch are on page 163.

[jeanneg]

Goofynut: Thanks so much for the name tag!

Question about the T-shirt logos:

Should we enlarge them, and if so, to what size?

Is the front logo centered in front or high on the left side like a typical logo position?

What color are we doing? White or lime green?

Thanks for the input.

...Hi Guys, Here it is the complete itinerary and cruiser list for the private St. Thomas Tour.....

We worked hard to give everyone a bit of what they asked for..

8:00 - 8:30 Pick up by safari jeep at the ship (Disney magic 10/6Godfrey is the owner of the business and he will be at the pier with a sign for our private tour.

8:30-10:00 shopping downtown historic shopping area.

10:00- 12:00 Visit: Scenic Drive to Bluebeards Castle, Drakes Seat, drive to very scenic gorgeous Magens Beach for short visit/ local cocktail or cold drink /swim. Any other sights that the driver has time to take us too we will add on to the tour. There might be a $ 2.00 admitting fee for Magens Beach but I am not totally sure.

12:30-1:30 Lunch @ Duffy’s Luvs Shack in Red Hook (near Sapphire Beach) www.duffysloveshack.com Lunch costs are each persons responsibility, they have a real fun menu posted on the web site, very affordable prices. The restaurant is expecting us and has no problem issuing individual checks; they DO NOT take credit cards).

1:30- 2:30 Quick swim at Sapphire beach, and a (mini tour of the area by safari jeep for non beach people)

2:30 Drop off people at the ship who are tired. Drop off people to take the scenic tramway up. Additional $$. Drop off people to the top of the mountain who want to take the tram down not up. To access the tram there are 3 steep flights of stairs 36 stairs total, I spoke with the tram operators and they do not have an elevator.Drop group of Die-hard shoppers off for last minute retail therapy downtown.

3:45 Pick up last group of shoppers from pre- arranged meetingspot and take back to ship to make 4:30 sailing.

I hope everyone is pleased with the tour itinerary. The cost is $ 20.00 pp to join us, babies 2 and under are N/C. The safari jeep costs a minimum of $ 400.00 for the day plus I think we need to tip the driver. It is of course up to each person to make that decision and decide how much they want to tip. Everyone can give me his or her payments that morning in St. Thomas and I will settle the bill.

Here is a list of the AMAZING, LUCKY AND BLESSED (no tossing your cookies now) cruisers that are confirmed on this tour:

Bette & Kim ( bettemom)
lenny, Renee' & Haley ( piglet33)
Mary Jo, Sam & Sarah ( sarahsmom)
Arlene & Andy (arlo1)
Peter & Jenn ( hygiene99)
Jeanne C & Sam ( jeannec)
Sharon, Ciadra & Adaria ( ciadriamom)
Jeanne G & John ( jeanneg)
Nancy & Norm ( padisneyfan)
Maryellen, Larry & Parker ( auntememe)

If I forgot to add you or I added you and/or you have second thoughts about the best tour you could take (LOL LOL) then PLMK.

I worked hard to give everyone a little of what they asked for, I hope this meets everyone’s expectations.

I asked godfrey to have a case of frozen water bottles for us to have right off. I would be glad to pick up this cost, perhaps someone wants to check on the ship and see if they would freeze a 2nd case of water bottles for us to have, as I am sure it will be very warm

 

[RellingTwin]

Just 4 weeks from today Eric and Anja will be visiting us in Charleston

Ave, glad the bruch list is back! Now tell DH to stay away from the computer!

Peter...sorry to hear you will be at Ron Jons....the REALLY COOL people will be at the Radisson But...we will all be meeting at Gills on Friday evening! I count about 26 people staying at Ron Jons and Radisson. I am going to give Gills a heads up that we will be meeting there. Maybe they can have an area set aside for us? Has someone already done this? If not I will send them an e-mail this weekend. Are we going to do this early, so we can see the ships sail (5:00ish) or later (7:00ish)????

jeanneg...T-Shirts are white. Logo size and placment are up to you.

Boy OH Boy...I REALLY need this vacation I spent half an hour on the phone with a pregnant mom today, who has high blood pressure(won't take her BP meds) diabetes, (won't check her blood sugars) and calls everyday saying how bad she feels (DUH!) She has missed her last 2 appointment and when she calls, and I tell her she needs to come in and be examined..she says OK then dosn't show! Then the next day we start all over again! I will be SO happy when she delivers! I just hope that mom and baby will be OK. This is a very dangerous situation!

Thanks again, Kim! We are so looking forward to the St. Thomas tour.
