Where is everyone tonight?


Did anyone get their Docs?

some did. not us. we're losers.

 

[ciao_gina]

Ooh! Thanks! I will add that to our list.

On the first day, we are going to send out all his nice shirts out to be pressed for the rest of the cruise - for my dresses, I know that Wrinkle release will be great!

I am definitely going to be packing travel sizes of a lot of things.....

I pack the travel size air freshener too and the travel size shaving cream. Love that travel size isle at Target.

Mine are to arrive on Tuesday.. according to UPS.

 

[KSFrogge]

On another exciting note.. I received my way-cool messenger bag and over-the-door toiletry holder from e-bags today.

 

[KSFrogge]

AND... I killed the board!! WOOT!

 

[B9erSteve]

Got our cruise docs today. They look good but not as much info as I had hoped. Oh well!! I also got our WDW resort package too. It was much more detailed because it included our CAA stuff.

I am going to book the Radison tomorrow so we will be at the pool on Friday night.

Congrats!

Actually, it's the Ipod Touch that I want, not the Iphone. Mike just loves it when I go techy on him.

The iTouch is a wonderful tool. You'll like it. Watch out, it'll hook you and draw you into the iPhone!

Get the 32gig one. It'll have all the room you'll need for the foreseeable future. The iTouch has WiFi on it already, so you could access your e-mail onboard. (even surf the web if you can stand the tiny browser.)

 

[MrPink]

Anybody have any personal reviews (good or bad) of the excusrsions on this cruise. Still waiting for our docs

 

[Karen Mouse]

You english people! I never understand.... I had to look this one up

Pikey - aka: rough gipsy

Snap.

Really Heather? - you dont use pikey down there? what do you call them then?

On 21st October, we leave for Orlando
To join a group of DIS friends, so here we go!

2 years we’ve been planning, this trip on the boat
No bad weather on the horizon to spoil this trip, we hope!

We’ll be gone, in total, a whole 16 days
It’s hard to keep all the excitement at bay!

Disney’s Boardwalk will be our home before and after the cruise
So we hope we won’t experience any pre and post-Mickey Mouse blues

24th October is our sailing date
From Port Canaveral to the Caribbean, Ahoy there Mate.

St Maarten in the Caribbean is our first port of call
After completing 48 hours or 2 days at sea, in full.

St Thomas/St John is our next full days stop
And that’s only one nights, skip and a hop.

And then after another full day at sea
Castaway Cay is where we will be

7 days is not long to experience so much fun
But sailing with a great group of friends, it just has to be done

The BOB’ers is our name, but what does this mean?
A Bash on the Boat – is it too extreme?

Tag gifts, lots of meets and plenty of chatter
Is what we expect, from this group of mad hatters.

Mickey, Minnie, Pluto too will greet us a long the way
And lots of other characters will make our day.

And after the cruise is over and done, will we all stay in touch?
That’s the million dollar question. Am I expecting far too much?

A trip to see my US sister is next on the cards
But that’s a bit further than our two back yards

So I finish this little ditty, right now, right here
And say that I hope it brought you much cheer​

Oh and BTW

I have a question:: I'm not sure if we'll be able to make it to the B.O.B. lunch at Lumiere's on Thrs., but can we still attend for the photo afterwards?

Of course you can

 

[Karen Mouse]

Well, good morning peeps

Its grey and gloomy here today, but this time in 3 weeks I'll be at Manchester airport cleaning a Virgin 747 before Ellis gets onboard

Still no fed ex man for me so far

I'm out this morning at karate so if he comes I'll probably miss him anyway

My 3rd and final suitcase is now 1/2 packed and theres still loads to go in

I hope all your tag gifts are small because otherwise I'll have to leave Neils clothes behind to get them in

I found Ellis' pirate trousers yesterday too, so now he has those to wear with his pirate t shirt and jack sparrow headband (that saves me hunting round walmart for something "packable")

 

[Karen Mouse]

Does anyone know the titles of all the Jonas bros cd's?

Ellis has the "Lines, vines..." one, but now wants to download any others for his nano (I'll let you know how I get on Jeff)

Rarely, Australian airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight 'safety lecture' and their other announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:



On an Air NZ Flight with a very 'senior' flight attendant crew, the Pilot said, 'Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants.'



On landing the hostess said, 'Please be sure to take all your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have..'



'There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways to leave the aircraft.'



As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Auckland , a lone Voice came over the loudspeaker: 'Whoa, big fella. WHOA!'



After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Adelaide, a flight attendant on a Qantas flight announced, 'Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as f*** everything has shifted.'



From a Qantas employee: 'Welcome aboard Qantas Flight X to Y to operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public un-supervised.'



'In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with more than one small child, pick your favourite.



'Weather at our destination is 32 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Qantas Airlines.'



'Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments.'



Heard on Qantas Airlines just after a very hard landing in Hobart . The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, 'That was quite bump and I know what you are all thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault... it was the asphalt!'



Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: 'We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal.'



An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a 'Thanks for flying United. 'He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had got off except for an old lady walking with a cane. She said, 'Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?' 'Why no Ma'am,' said the pilot. 'What is it?'

The little old lady said, 'Did we land or were we shot down?'



After a real crusher of a landing in Sydney , the Flight Attendant came on with, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the entire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.'



Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: 'We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurised metal tube, we hope you'll think of Qantas.'



A plane was taking off from Mascot Airport .. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, 'Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number XYZ, non-stop from Sydney to Auckland . The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we sho uld have smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax - ARGHHH! OH, MY GOD!' Silence followed and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier, but, while I was talking, the flight attendant brought me a cup of coffee and spilled the hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!'

A passenger in Economy said, 'That's nothing. He should see the back of mine!'

Question about the Cruise Docs....

I didn't seem to get much in my cruise docs package.... we got the luggage tags and a "checkoff list", but the little booklet of travel like documents have stuff about onboard airline check in and Transfer stuff - none applies to us since we are driving.

Also had a letter about the Halloween activities and a "buy this Halloween stuff flier".

Does that jive with what you all got??

Thanks!

Yep, exactly the same.

 

[GOS]

I am going to book the Radison tomorrow so we will be at the pool on Friday night.

Good news.

 

[GOS]

Got it, thanks!

I have a question:: I'm not sure if we'll be able to make it to the B.O.B. lunch at Lumiere's on Thrs., but can we still attend for the photo afterwards?

Of course you can Queenie. It's expected.
