If she looks just like you then you really should get a medical opinion on the blue face and missing body

Yes because you have a suite & would loose your deposit if you backed out!

Yikes, you surely fit in with the rest of us!!

 

[Madisonznana]

I honestly thought you would be the first to comment. You've got some competition!

Ah but I could swap it to 2011 and go no the Wonder, only one thing stopping me on that, (well two).

1. I do not like Hawaii
   
2. This cruise is from Dover!!!

Need to get this paid off, as my PIF date is late January 2010, and those shore trips are going to cost an arm and a leg!!


Nah,,,,,,,


3. reasons, Julie.s on this cruise, chatting up all the European millionaire blokes!

The cheapest shore trip by DCL, will be about £250 for a family of four, many far higher, and with six ports, and a double in St Petes.....$$$$$$$$$$

You were always really going on this cruise, Andrew! I know you have been watching the exchange rates to minimize your bottom line cost . . .

The only port I plan to do an excursion rather than do it all myself is St. P, and I will do a private two day tour through a Russian company for that -- and yes, it is expensive but how often will we get to Russia in our lifetimes?

 

[bellelinus]

A belated gift for you, Barb

Yes, I am watching the exchange rates, and playing the ''Pound cost averaging game'' basically spreading my bets over a period of time therefore I will at some point have a good exchange rate, if it goes down i have some paid off, if it goes up, I didn't convert at a 'silly' rate.

I held back cash for the possibility of upgrades on my flights from Premium to upper class, they were full so paid off the cruise with that.

Yes the place I am doing private tours is SP as well.

My photobucket account is runnung at 93% of bandwidth, and might switch off shortly if I exceed the limits, had a red email!!!

4400 views to my trip report.

The monorial in my signature line has the highest views at 18,550!!!!

I still think people are linking in my photobucket with other websites

Whats ( OK looks like I cannot post the website) 590 views from there. -Its another forum, and their using my photos! 485 from other sites.

A photo of Shirleys baskets from my cruise, (The Perfect gift) has 20 views from other websites! Someones copied it, and linked it in.

I know I post my photos here, so its on the internet, but a bit cheeky to post them elsewhere without asking. Which will tip my photobucket ac over limit.

That is annoying -- you would think there would be a way to get around this, but maybe not . . .

I kept meaning to tell you that I really enjoyed looking at your trip report
