7/18/2010 Mickey's Baltic Ballyhoo!! Part 5

[MrsScooby]

Ewwww vineger / Scrumpy YUM!

Yeah I'm ok if the apple cider is really sweet, but this stupid diet really took out all the enjoyment for me
Now I just smell apple cider and I get a flashback

 

[RJAYL]

sounds cool ! Are you using Anastasias ? I've read a lot of possitive feedback about them..
We are still planning, maybe we are going for the private tour too but havent contacted Anastacia yet. Can you give us an idea about the price ?

Depending on the exchange rate the smaller groups are over $300 per person!

Of course as Andrew stated everyone has a littile different Itinerary, we have scheduled a private tour of the Gold (Treasure) room at the Hermitage $$$$$$

I was going to book the Peterhof parks whith DCL the first day the Hermitage & treaasure room the morning of the 2nd day & then a canal boat tour to the Cathedral of the Split Blood in the afternoon (when it becomes available) but ut would have cost me almost the same!

Oh I am a big Rodgers and Hammerstein fan...next time give us more time to answer

Sorry, Robert was being a bad boy, with bad jokes again....

So whats this one??

What will this day be like? I wonder.
What will my future be? I wonder.
It could be so exciting to be out in the world, to be free
My heart should be wildly rejoicing
Oh, what's the matter with me?

I've always longed for adventure
To do the things I've never dared
And here I'm facing adventure
Then why am I so scared

A captain with seven children
What's so fearsome about that?

Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries
If I don't I just know I'll turn back
I must dream of the things I am seeking
I am seeking the courage I lack

The courage to serve them with reliance
Face my mistakes without defiance
Show them I'm worthy
And while I show them
I'll show me

So, let them bring on all their problems
I'll do better than my best
I have confidence they'll put me to the test
But I'll make them see I have confidence in me

Somehow I will impress them
I will be firm but kind
And all those children (Heaven bless them!)
They will look up to me

And mind me with each step I am more certain
Everything will turn out fine
I have confidence the world can all be mine
They'll have to agree I have confidence in me

I have confidence in sunshine
I have confidence in rain
I have confidence that spring will come again
Besides which you see I have confidence in me

Strength doesn't lie in numbers
Strength doesn't lie in wealth
Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers
When you wake up -- Wake Up!

It tells me all I trust I lead my heart to
All I trust becomes my own
I have confidence in confidence alone
(Oh help!)

I have confidence in confidence alone
Besides which you see I have confidence in me!

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your innovations
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you

Hello everybody,

We are planning everything for the baltic and were just wondering if most of you take DCL excursions or are going for Anastasiatours (or other company)in St Petersburg??

We haven't decided yet, but are maybe interested in joining somebody for a (more or less) private tour of St Petersburg. (We are 2 adults and a 8 year old boy).

Is somebody eventually still looking for people to join their party ? Please, let us know if that is the case ?

Thank you very much

We are just doing the Disney stuff. Couldn't pass up the Royal Ball with our 6 year old being such Cinderella fan.

We are just doing the Disney stuff. Couldn't pass up the Royal Ball with our 6 year old being such Cinderella fan.

What is the time on the Catherine's Ball ? I've seen 2 different times, 5pm and 6:15 pm ???

My son and dau-in-law want to take their 5 yo , but they can't book until May 4
Hope it's not sold out !!

Ewwww vineger / Scrumpy YUM!



Who is staying at the Royal Gardens beside us?

Howdy, neighbor.

Tom & I are staying there as well. Any idea of our Ballyhoo bus pickup spot?

Hi Everyone,

Just got back from a business trip! So nice to be home!!!!

Anyway, I was so sad to see that someone got the "Unwritten" song. I totally knew that!

Anyway, have a great day everyone.

My oldest 3 are in Boston/New York, and the 2 youngest are "up north" with my parents. So my DH and I are home alone! Wierd!

So I am going to really do some research on the excursions etc and try to have a final plan! Have a great night everyone!

 

[hawaiian mickey]

Aloha,
I was wondering what kind of currency everyone was carrying? Should I carry euros/gbps or $ for walk around money. This is for buying small gifts or food to go.
Also when you use a taxi in London do they take credit cards or just cash?
Just want to make sure I carry enough in the begining.

[KathyInCitrus]

Just wondering . . . .

Instead of pirate night

A Viking night?

I picked up some small bills for each city, plus a credit card or debit card if I need some big money. You know, buying a samovar in St Petersburg or something!

Yes very good lyrics, we have a winner below.

I think for children of that age its an unmissable experience.

Most of my tours are all day long, so i am taking just Euros, dollars and a credit card or three. Norway its a full day trip, so is Tallinn and so is Stockholm, with food included, so its just gift purchases and I am sure I can swing that on a credit card.

Just wondering . . . .

Instead of pirate night

A Viking night?

I am sure, lots of cruisers will do that, DCL still advertises it as Pirate night. But a great idea.

Good Morning All!
