Yep - the plural of Lego is ...................Lego

Actually, we're both wrong.

I was looking at their site and everytime they talk about their products or company or divisions, they always put something after LEGO and make that plural.

So I did a quick search and here is what I found:

Which is correct as the plural of LEGO: 'Lego' or 'Legos'? Neither, actually. The word 'LEGO', when used as a noun, should only refer to the company that makes the product. Otherwise 'LEGO' is supposed to be used as an adjective. Thus, when referring to the pieces, neither 'lego' nor 'legos' is correct... rather one should say: 'LEGO bricks' or 'LEGO pieces' or whatever (using LEGO as an adjective -- and one should really capitalize all of the letters, and put the little 'circle-R' symbol after it (®)). This is all a matter of protecting the trademark of 'LEGO' for the company (using it otherwise degenerates the strength of the trademark).​

I got my morning errands done, now it's time to run some afternoon errands. It's a good thing we got back last night and left today to get all theses errands done before I have to return to work on Monday.......

Thanks Chris - we're driving down in the morning from the villa so you'll probably be there earlier than us, although we do intend setting out early to get a good boarding card number.

Are you dropping your family and luggage at the terminal first or taking them and the luggage with you when you drop the car off and getting the shuttle back together?

I've not done this before - last time we just parked the rental in the carpark at the port.

Hi Karen
Last time Sean dropped us and the luggage off at the port and took the car back. He got on the shuttle bus. I got in line but couldnt check in until sean was there to but i was able to get a boarding pass before i had checked in.

 

[JOANNEL]

Wow, how exciting!!! I don't think I have ever had less than a year and a half from booking to cruising...you only have 2 months now until you cruise Yes, lots of pics for us please Oooh, are you going to write a Trip Report

I guess I could try since I will have a lot of time on my hands.... Not as witty as most of you though!

 

[medicalman]

The Bob cruise is getting near

But that just brings a whole new fear

Will my shorts fit?...

or be too tight?

Will I lose weight?

so that they fit just right

Will the suitcases shut?

Or be overweight and full?

Will the Bobbers like my Tag gifts

Or just think that they're dull

Will I strike lucky and get boarding pass 2?

Or will I be late, at the back of the queue

So many questions..... yet so little time

I need to start packing, so....(you'll be pleased to know)

this is the end of my rhyme

Great poem Karen

I had also googled it the last time we spoke so I knew that too

All I was trying to say is that its never Legos. Its always Lego. You can add the bricks/pieces to be totally correct, but no-one bothers, but Lego never has an s on the end.... lecture over

Will do.

BTW, we need to get the boys back on a schedule for Mario Kart.

Not sure about this weekend because its mothers day..... not that I'm expecting anything

Thanks Cath, I might get Neil to do that ...drop us off and I'll get rid of the cases then go inside with the hand luggage to get a boarding pass with Ellis. If Neil gets another boarding pass I can always pass on the 2nd if another Bobber is later than us.

I cant remember where the boarding passes were handed to you? Was it as you entered the terminal or when you'dchecked in at the desks? I was too excited to take anything in

 

[Karen Mouse]

Well, thats all my plug plants potted on into bigger pots

My dining room looks like a greenhouse Its too cold for another month to get them outside, so til then they are on garden trays on half of the dining table Geranium or petunia for dinner anyone?

 

[Karen Mouse]

PLANT F.O.

Karen, we had our boarding passes handed to us as we got in line to check in. I was also able to check in without Chuck being there. But, right as I was about to leave the counter, there he was. I'm not sure if he would've had to check in again too? I think there was some talk about that issue a while ago but maybe one of our seasoned cruisers can help out with that.

I checked in my whole family by myself.
