10/24/2009 - Bash On the Boat (I'm With BOB) - thread #5

[Verandah Man]

Yeah and she's in the room right next to me

That's OK, I sit in my easy chair in the livingroom and send Hazel e-mail messages from my laptop, and she is in the same room as me on the desktop..........

Al is pretty sure his friends sister is still a corporate travel agent, he'll give his friend a call a little later this morning to see about getting her number. She might be a good person to help point us in the right direction on how to charter a flight and maybe she'd even be able to give us an idea on the cost involved.

Sounds like a plan.

Maybe ask her also if she knows anyways to get around the MW 330 day rule. You'd think they'd work with a group that big. You tell me when Funjet takes seats on the Vegas or Orlando flights they wait until 330 days? I don't think so.

Since AirTran doesn't usually put their schedules out at 330 days, we may have better luck with them.

Whatever we do, everyone will have to commit to the days and times. Hope that can be done.

We may want to look into chartering a bus then too to the port when we arrive and maybe a group rate at a hotel.

Might get these travel costs way down.

 

[JLDSMD]

I don't know, seems like you are dropping me for Heather.........

Never teammate.

So, how are we doing? Are the #3,4 and 5 posters even up to us, regardless of their team affiliation?

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Rachel, you may see those cinnamon rolls by Monday before school.

What time will they be done Cheryl? We're only about 30 minutes away.

You really need to try the Donuts that Paula Dean showed on her show. If you get the Food Club brand of biscuits from Pig, they only have 1 gram of fat per 2 biscuits. Just add what ever consumption of the oil to it and you're still having low fat donuts that are really yummy.

Maybe I'll look into making some on the 4th of July when everyone is over.

Donuts on the 4th of July sound great! At this rate Rach will be lucky to have gotten her cinnamon rolls by then. I make the low fat Pillsbury cinammon rolls that are in the refrigerator area at Pick, they're not bad. We don't have a Piggly Wiggly here in Muskego anymore , it went out of business a few years ago.

 

[JLDSMD]

Melody, are you sure you want to sail with this group, no respect I tell you, no respect............

You get no respect, man, have you seen the way the women treat me?

I like those too, but since we started doing the donuts, their great. I think lower fat too, but I need to do a study on how much oil gets consumed in the cooking. I'll have to measure before and after to see. I will calc the % used and then figure the fat.

Maybe I'll do that before everyone comes over on the 4th. Since we have a side burner on the grill, I can make them outside. You all can watch if you want.

All caught up. That took an hour, but I'm done just in time to get ready to head out to Home Depot for our tiling class.

Talk to you all this afternoon.

Yep, not even close.

We're even further away from the "teams". I think our goal should be to double them.

Great minds think alike! I was already planning on asking her about the MW 330 day rule for a group rate. I just hope Midwest doesn't fold like some of the other smaller airlines recently did (Belling was talking about how this the other day).
I didn't think about the bus but I did think about checking to see if we could get a group rate at a hotel by the port. I agree with you part of the fun about planning a trip is finding a deal and getting those costs down too

Now, I'm working on getting the ST up...............oh my word, the ST just came out of her bedroom, what a sight she is too.............

Glad you are back! Missed ya! You probably already know this but there is a website that can manage your "favorites" lists. You can log in at any computer to your personal favs.

I got one at a teacher workshop the main site is www.del.icio.us.com, I think.

Yeah, I have seen those sites. Too bad I didn't do that about a week ago.

Health update.

Good news - Rick went for his 6th month check up with the Dr's and got the OK on his heart and blood pressure.

Bad news - the Dr's has said that we both need Hep A and B vaccinations for our Repo cruise and I hate needles.

Sorry Heather, if it's the same as here, they are big needles and you need 3 sets of them over a few months

Had a good evening with Bev and Dave. Plans for the Repo video are in hand with some surprises in store.

Can't wait to see that one too!

Cass - sorry to hear about your computer trouble - that's extremely frustrating.

Cass, my DH is in charge of the computers too. He says, we need this - and he gets it and hooks it up.


Yeay! Glad you got another baby cake order!

Well, I have veto rights If Rob got what he really wanted it would have cost us $20K for the two computers

For those going to Vegas this year.....new at the Luxor.

Thanks for the link Heather, sounds...interesting. We are big CdS fans but not so much Criss Angel fans so I think we may skip this one.

We have sunny skies and it's going back up into the mid 70's today!!!

Oh, that sounds lovely Andy! On Thursday it was gorgeous here, about 63F and all that snow had melted, Kira and I had a lovely day at the zoo. Yesterday, the snow started falling at 10AM and it hasn't stopped since. We are now in a deep freeze for the whole week I have lived in Calgary for 26 years now and I have never seen this kind of weather at the end of April. Usually if it snows now, it melts the next day but since our temps are so low for this next week, all that snow will stay and the roads are horrible, underneath all the snow is ice

Good morning everyone!

I'm switching from the October 31st Western today to this October 24th one. Reasons are the timing and the itinerary. We also wanted an AFT Cat 6 but right now on the one we're booked we can only get Forward. I'm just not happy with that.

HI!

YAY!! Melody's joining our cruise!!! Too bad Kira wasn't joining us, she would have made a great playmate for Ernie!!! Happy Birthday to Amelia


Andy & Hazel,

for you guys on Kristen's birthday
