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

[RJAYL]

Nope, we come home on the 11th. Sorry we won't be able to have lunch again.

Too bad!
I would have had you up to the palacial digs for a look see maybe even had gone upstairs for a drink & fireworks show!

Wow...words of wisdom from a man and they make sense.
Even if they are posted in 2 weeks that still gives plenty of time for research and decision making.

Would you expect anything less!
Never mind dont answer that!

Darn, missing a chance for a fireworks view from there and drinks with you and your wife.


I will not comment on the other line.

When they are up they are up I cannot book the shore excursions untill March 20th!

Plenty of time for research & decisions!

I'd like to know, so I can compare with the quotes I'm getting from private companies and other research. Those things can be booked farther out.

WARNING:
You'll never go back to another cruise after traveling on DCL!
I've been on Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Celebrity, Norwegian, and a couple that haven't survived. After my first 3-day cruise with DCL, I have not considered another cruiseline.

I will have to agree with your praise for DCL. We kept saying we would try something else, and even let a free cruise expire on another line. We were so sure there would be no comparison. A friend we met on the Mediterranean works for a travel agent and gets free cruises on everything but Disney and she will quickly tell you that Disney is #1

Well today is my last day in the sunny south, but it has surely turned cold! I guess it is just getting me ready for snow-----and I don't like that. It will even be a jolt for Jasmine. I am and trying to pack now as two dogs are sleeping. I fly out at 2:30 tomorrow.

 

[jilljill]

Get ready for the bitter cold Harole Ann. Safe travels tomorrow.

Not yet, the last 2 episodes are sittinging on the DVR waiting for me to watch!

I won't get a chance to watch until Wednesday. I hope they are as good as I expect them to be!

Stick with it; part 1 is good but sets the scen and is a bit slow to get going, the fianl few minutes though, you will appriacte it.

Part 2, with the scene set,,*bang* and *bang* again it doesnt stop, even when you think its all over, it isnt.

Not until *he* knocks 4 times.......

Andrew...Andrew...Andrew....they rotate Helsinki and Tallinn, they do not do Helsinki twice and then Tallinn twice: http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/c...s/12-night-northern-european-capitals-cruise/
June 12 Helsinki
June 24 Tallinn
July 6 Helsinki
July 18 Tallinn

Tallinn was updated around 7pm so you wouldn't have seen it Sun. night.

Well I never, I always though it was 2:2 thats the way I read it, (a long time back) Helsinki twice, then Tallin twice, so middle two swapped. OK,

Yes if they updated 7pm Sunday thats at least midnight here,,,,

OK so we currently have 5 inches of snow & it is still falling!!!! Now I'm sure many of you are laughing at such a paltry amount, but we just are not used to it and not set up for it. The buses stopped running 2 hours ago because of the snow. I am supposed to be at my tutorial in Bristol tomorrow but not sure I'll get there. It was quite important too as it is just 2 weeks to my first exam & tomorrow was the post mortem of the mock!

Andrew,any snow your side of London?

Celestine

 

[jilljill]

Celestine I think in the last couple of weeks you have gotten more snow than you've had in the last 50+ years put together. Hopefully it did stop not long after you posted.
Be safe and you too Andrew if you had snow.

Best of luck to you Celestine with the rotten winter you've been having. You have certainly had more than your share of snow this year. Stay safe.

Good luck with your snow! I hope it stops and clears up soon for you. I'll keep things crossed that you can get to your tutorial tomorrow.
We've had no snow yet this winter.

Celestine I totally understand what you are talking about. When we first moved here to Virginia I was shocked by how unprepared the area was for snow. I had gone to school in upstate NY where they got tons more snow, but they plowed and salted the roads fast -so much less problems. So 5 inches can be very hazardous if the area isn't prepared to deal with it Be careful!!

Alaska here, never seen it so deep and still coming down.

Very deep here.

Yes put up in last 24 hours, as expected, now, does that mean we get more (ours) this week, or Baltic next WEDNESDAY, as the Europe repo is 7 nights.

I said tomorrow, but expected all together.

 

[Celestine]

So it is now just over 10 inches in Reading. I did get to my tutorial, but left home at 0615 and got to the station at 0750. I then had the return trudge through the snow home. Forecast is for more tonight & sub zero temps. No school tomorrow again and probably Friday. On the up side I've seen some amazing snow creations & igloos. Off for a long hot bath - my legs are exhausted from the walk in wellies where at times the snow was as deep as my wellies

If as they say this will last another '10' days, then it will be the worst winter since 1963!!

I was up at 6am, on a bus at 6.30am (on time), got to the Tube waited 15 mins for a train, told wrong platform, changed, got on, told will not go fast, stopped at each station, then a call on my blackberry the meeting is canceled, the next stop the tube service is suspended anyway, so got off went back, went home, then went out again and relocated to another office for the day.

My Kids schools are already both on the Internet as closed on Thursday, my guess all week.

Yes seen a lot of nice snowmen etc, but buses were sliding all over the place tonight.

 

[MrsG]

Wow! What awful weather! You are in out thoughts and prayers sthat everyone stays safe. The kids must be thrilled to be home!

 

[caven553]

Over 22 inches of snow here in the past 3 weeks and the high tomorrow is 0 degrees (and that is F not C)!

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

In England temperatures have fallen the worst was -18c.

I am watching TV for travel options.
