[Karen Mouse]

I have a list of restauants we want to try this time round. We tend to end up in the same ones each time we go so this time I made a list of others people have recomended so we can try some of them out.

I also want to book the character brekkie at Universal too - Ellis should enjoy brekkie with Spiderman

Time to deliver the pizza kits and cookie dough, be back later folks.......

Pizza Kits? Cookie Dough?

I don't remember being asked to purchase any of these. Where's mine?

Would be nice if you hand delivered it too.

 

[JLDSMD]

Not at all and you know it Mister ... stop dissing and get those flight booked

That is still up in the air. I don't foresee an answer anytime soon on it.

 

[Karen Mouse]

Sorry to hear your flights have been messed up Jeff- at least you found out intime

We were on a flight once - we had to get back in the middle of the night, travel up to East midlands airport (about an hour away) board there then wait on the tarmac for ages, fly back to Birmingham airport (15 mins drive) to pick up more passengers but they wouldnt let us board in Birmingham - wheres the logic in that?

Same on the return aswell

 

[Karen Mouse]

We're still up in the air about our park passes - Neil was adamant tht he didnt want to do the disney parks this time round and we should do Universal for a change... now he's thinking Disney at xmas and Univ next Oct

Just wish he'd make his mind up

Well, get it out of the air then!

Is Suz still on that darned fence? Tell her from me - she's gotta get off NOW!!!

 

[Karen Mouse]

F.O. while Jeff is online?

I doubt it

 

[Karen Mouse]

He was busy sending me a pm so I stole an fo right from under his nose

 

[Karen Mouse]

I've got over my "sleepyness" now - is that even a word?

sleepiness?

I may not be tired, but my brain doesnt want to switch on - no smart *ss comments from you Jeffrey

 

[Karen Mouse]

Geez! - at this rate I'll hve my own page

Is no-one going to play?

 

[Karen Mouse]

Another underwater camera is on ebay - finishes in 33 mins - good price so far

Did you hear that Dawg??? - do you need another?

Are the navigators likely to change between now and when we cruise much

And can anyone remind me of the link to see them

I REALLY need to sort out my favourites again - I cant find anything

Aren't they on Cass's site?

 

[JLDSMD]

Karen, where'd you go?

I thought you'd have your own page by now.

And as for your FO, my PM was really important, don't you think?

 

[GOS]

They never called me or sent me an email. What is the point of having email and phone notification numbers if they aren't going to call/email you? AirTran is notorious for this. They won't contact you until after the last change (we had 7 changes for our flights for the Jan '07 cruise).

That is so annoying

 

[oybolshoi]

Jeff, sorry to hear about your flights. That stinks!

I think there is something really wrong in the airline industry when you can pay for a specific product only to have the airline change it completely without giving you much, if any, recourse.

Whatever happened to consumer protection?

 

[GOS]

Well guys..I have to log off now, our friends are due to arive soon and I need to get started on dinner. So I'll speak to you all tomorrow.

Too da loo

I'm telling you, MVMCP on the 19th and parks on the 20th.

Well, that's what we'd be doing if we were going.

Hi Heather! In answer to your Trek question, we did both attractions at the Star Trek experience and we also had lunch at Quarks.

They were talking about this on the DS or the WB Repo thread. People are having issue with the luggage limits that are going into effect.

When they bought their ticket and entered into the contract with them, they had a 2 bag limit. Now it is one. Kinda hard to do only 1 piece per person for a 15 night cruise.

We're going for a total of 18 night, counting the time before the cruise. We will wash the clothes twice while on board. Sorry in advnace if you see me wearing the same thing in a couple of the pictures.

The luggage restrictions really cheese me off - in part for the same reason you just mentioned. I know that when I purchased our tickets for this coming October, AA still had a two bag per person limit with a surcharge beginning with bag three. And if they try to stick us come this Fall I am going to raise a very vocal stink.

I think two bags per person is totally appropriate, especially if you're taking a longer trip. And with the stupid restrictions that have been placed on carry-on baggage travelers are now effectively screwed.

Personally, Jay and I would rather pay more for the actual ticket rather than get reamed for having a third bag (and by that I mean three checked bags between the two of us, which is typically what we do for a 10-15 day trip).
