Check out this from the New York Times regarding Oslo (it sounds expensive!):

This link should be placed on the 1st page!

Barb, could you put the link about Oslo on the front page? Thanks!

As soon as I read it I will put the link in the first post.

Yes, Oslo is a very expensive city.

Nope I had nothing to add!

Watched the NCL Spirit leave Boston from my Kitchen Yesterday I wonder where it was heading as Bill is sure to be in the way!

My son is going for his license on Wednesday!

I talked to my TA about waitlists for 2011 & 2012 cruises!

Good Morning All

Robert are you bracing yourself for the effects of the hurricane that looks like is heading your way?

Good luck with your son getting his license on Wednesday. Or I should say good luck to you and Denise. We'll go thru that next summer, but fortunately we'll be gone most of the summer so maybe we can hold off on it for a while. Yeah right...who am I trying to kid? But then I'm not sure on what the laws are in DE between the time period of getting a permit and then getting your license. DD will take driver's ed during the 3rd marking period before she turns 16. Guess I should be looking into that in the near future.

Thank you

Cross refer to my trip report with photos Internet is limited as in Florida, so not repeated here.

Sure, you love to blame New Yorkers for everything

I loved your trip report - it would indeed be hard to leave that wonderful cat 3 suite!

Well Arent They?

Good Morning All

We New Yorkers are too self-centered to worry about anyone or anyplace else so we really can't be blamed unless it involves a sin or omission rather than commission

Yeah didnt they just lock up a New Yorker for 150 years for that!

 

[jilljill]

Morning all. Looks like it will be dry here today, unlike the last couple of days.

 

[bellelinus]

Yeah, some really close friends of mine lost almost everything to that sociopath

On a brighter note i have just paid off the cruise!

 

[jilljill]

On a brighter note i have just paid off the cruise!

WOW!!! Now you can work on paying off mine.

 

[bellelinus]

Super! I have had the money for this cruise and most of the repo sitting in an account earning (tiny) interest since the end of 2008 . . . can I ask why you pay if off so much in advance rather than letting it earn you a little interest until final payment date?

 

[bellelinus]

WOW!!! Now you can work on paying off mine.

He still has to pay off the repo following this one (and in a super suite as well!) and is looking at the Med cruise following the repo - so he may have to wait a bit before paying yours off, Barb

Got any extra??

Nope

I was afraid it would put me into a higher tax bracket with Obama in the White House!

(Oh I am almost done paying for the Repo as well) If I knew this was a competition I would have finished earlier!

Got any extra??

Nope I have 4 kids 1 dog 1 cat & 1 bird and they are all ahead of you in line (not to mention the rest of my relatives!)

Oh yes, its hard to leave it, the ship was crowded, and we had 'space' in our room, with the kids being pampered with Mickey bars, popcorn, DVD's ordering, two TV's and even board games, they would only go out for meals, ports of call, and when the hostest made up the room.

PS 60% of Baltic paid off as of last month.

My DS (15 and 1/2) is old enough to get his learners permit, but is in no hurry at all Part of me likes the fact that he is nervous about driving. Part of me is afraid that if we wait too long that when he does decide he is ready to drive-that my influence will be much less than it is now. (He actually listens to me now..sometimes)

Good thing DH and I have to limit our alcohol. Which reminds me, what is the best way to get a case of bottled water on the cruise (for excursions mostly). Didn't like the bottled water they sold on the ship

Now my son's two boys say I am taking them on the Dream because their B (that is what they called Garry) knew that was going to be the name of the new ship and he was going to take all of us! The youngest one made that announcement in a local Japanese restaurant one night to our dining companions. I might have to start selling myself on the street corner for that trip!

I hadn't thought of that money making tactic yet

Hey Laurie, nice to see you here. Hope you have enjoyed your summer so far.

Jo, I spend a lot of time outside your door on the PC repo with the book swap, but didn't get to hang out with you at all
This time we'll rectify that

On a brighter note i have just paid off the cruise!:

oooh, I'm so jealous

WOW!!! Now you can work on paying off mine.

I was gonna say the same thing
