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

[ladyvet]

Last night and this morning when I try to log on to "My Cruise Plans" it won't let me. Is everyone having this problem? Might this mean they are working on setting up our excursions??

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

I am watching TV for travel options.

So Lauren's school is closed tomorrow too & I'm guessing Hermione's nursery is. Paul has dug the car out so is going to try & go to work tomorrow. I on the other hand have to try & revise as well as look after the girls.

22 inches of snow would be a complete grind to a halt although I read that 43% of the UK work force did not go to work yesterday. Sky news had the Reading snowfall as the 3rd deepest behind Aviemore (Scottish ski resort) & Braemar (somewhere else in Scotland)

Are you looking for a very warm place to travel to about now?!?




Celestine, it's no fun living in a place that get the record for the 3rd place winner of snowfall.



Both of you take care of your families, be safe and stay warm.

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.

No comment.........
Karen in sunny CA with highest temps in the nation. Hotter than Florida...

2C Degrees between UK and South Pole tempreture, at the moment.

And getting *worse* at the weekend.

Don't need to travel to Alaska now.

But it will still take "years" to get your own glacier!!

What are some of the hotels you all are staying at that the Ballyhoo bus will be stopping at? Need rooms for 4 people...... good price.

Thanks Carolyn, I'll pass that on. My friend Janie, who will also be on our cruise is looking and I thought I would share some places with her. We aren't able to stay so I hadn't been paying much attention.

Karen, who happens to be located in a place that we won't mention the temps, we are staying at the Park Plaza London Victoria: http://www.parkplaza.com/londonuk_victoria
I don't remember what we are paying, but I did book an executive floor room this time. I better to look into the price in case something cheaper has come out since I booked it last summer.

Hi Ballyhooer's!

Just because we won't be cruising with you doesn't mean we've forgotten about you! The holidays and the new job have been incredibly hectic. And we squeezed in a long weekend to WDW in early Dec, which put us even further behind. This is the first year we didn't mail out our Christmas cards.

I hope you all had a great holiday season, and my family wishes you all a Happy and Healthy New Year! I can't believe y'all can say you're sailing the Baltic "this year"! You know we'll be there with you in our hearts!

The ballyhoo bus will where ever possible collect from your hotel. The majority of people seem to be staying around Victoria/Westminster. Dh will work out routes etc. when have a final number etc. There are a few larger parties (we are 10) so it is likely one bus will collect 3 or 4 large parties & the other bus(es) will collect the smaller groups, but that is still at the planning stage
