7/18/2010 Mickey's Baltic Ballyhoo!! Part 4

[MrsG]

Life got busy for a while and I got behind, behinder and then behinder still in trying to keep up with everyone.
Bob was made Chief of Police of Aliso Viejo, you may call me Mrs. Chief. Tons of phone calls, emails, meetings, long hours all on salary. But Aliso Viejo is one of the safest cities!
Have we started talking cruise yet? Not the ones several of you are going on before the Baltics. I am way jealous about that, I only have next year to look forward to.
Let me know if there was anything I missed in the last few months.

I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!

Congratulations!!!!

Great pics, Andrew!!! Venice is on my bucket list, before it sinks!!!!!

Thanks for the port time updates, too.

DBIL is getting married this weekend so I'll be popping in and out, more out than in!

Okay I now have PS for Disney & minivan rental for our time there & am working on the limo to Port Canaveral!

Did you think about driving over to the port and dropping off the rental at PC? That is if you have a rental thru one of the agencies that is at Cocoa Beach.

Your plans are moving along rather quickly, I'm impressed.

Nope looks like we will be buying lots of vehicles this year DW new SUV or Van DM new Caddy & a car at the end of the summer for DS who will have his license by then!

However DM says it is a good time to buy due to the economic conditions & she is probably right!

Thanks, Barb, that doesn't help.Unfortunately, if my DH hadn't been so economical and bought American, we might still have his truck in operation. Sorry, I had to say it.

Yup, you will really be helping out the economy.

JoAnn I'm going to refrain from commenting on your economical and buying American since we have both foreign and domestic sitting in our driveway and always have.

Bar St Petersburg Iam happy with the changes, I like to get up and get going quickly, I think Berlin is the challenge thats why its earlier, to fit in with trains etc.

St Petersburg whilst two days cuts the first day right down say lunchtime to dinner so is less of a vaulable day.

There are a few things to do in the evening in StP, but the palaces will be closed.

But sunrise is slightly after 4:00am in July, so think of all the fun things you can do if you get up early!!

Don't forget that sunset is around 10:30 so that makes for a very short night if you go to bed when the sun sets and get up when it rises.
I'll let you tell me all what goes on a little after 4am.

No no place in Cocoa beach

The rental agencies offer shuttles to the port. You could drop off DW and kiddos at the port and then you could take the rental back to the agency and take the shuttle to the terminal.


I'd offer to take you to the port, but I don't think you all would fit in my Mini.

I will check other agencies!

I am so not a morning person! Even hearing Mickey's squeeky little voice telling me about big doings does not brighten my mornings!

I hear ya, but for heaven's sake......the truck lasted exactly 5 years, ridiculous, so now we have to replace it and the foreign car at the same time.........wasn't planning on that!!!

I so hear you on this. I'm looking at booking a flight for DH to come home later this month and he wants an early morning flight and I'm dreading thinking of having to be up so early to take him to the airport. I guess the only good thing is that DD & I would be able to hit a park early before the afternoon FL rains appear.

Ouch, that really hurts. Between you and Robert, you really will be helping the auto industry.
