[RJAYL]

I am not George Michel l you know...




Do you have OXO cubes there, if so you will understand this.....



A lady swallowed four OXO cubes at a party.


She make a laughing stock of herself...

Yes but Chicken, Beef of Vegtable?

Well said! I have told my boss, coworkers, friends, family etc that this is the big one for us. With my oldest son starting college (he turns 18 THIS TUESDAY) and me turning 40, this is a true opportunity to try new things! We are thrilled.

My oldest turns 17 Thursday

My oldest son just found out he got accepted to the University of Wisconsin (Madison)!!!!

How exciting for him!!!

Congrats!

 

[RJAYL]

I've added you to the first post -- welcome aboard!

Good to hear from you Julie!

 

[RJAYL]

The one thing I am really happy about is NO PLANE, NO AIRFAIRE, NO AIRPORTS, NO LUGGAGE ISSUES for this cruise....

Get up Sunday morning, drive for an hour and at the port....No worries....

Airfare mounts up, on Trans Atlantics, I know, and pleased I do not have to do it.

But do have flights in May to/from Rhodes, for our beach break but thats only four hours!!!!

Greek Isles hmmmm where did you get that idea from Andrew???

Is everyone familiar with John Lawrence's Baltic video ? He was the cruise director with Princess for years. When we went on the Jewel to the Baltic 2 years ago we purchased his WONDERFUL video. If you get a chance to see it...do ! So much information so many photos !

How wonderfu!!!!!!!1

I'm still in the land of the living, guys -- just a lot of things going on that prevents me from getting on the Disboards . . .

So glad that you are OK, Julie. We were all beginning to worry about you. I think we've all been busier than usual.

Good Morning All

I actually try regularly to go to Greece, its been two years now, with trips to Spain and DLP, and Venice in between, this is our relaxing 'beach' holiday, in one of my favorite spots. Before the endurance test of this cruise..

I work with lots of people from Iowa, I am used to this! I wish I knew anything about sports to try to give it back to you, but I don't.

I was at a conference with lots of Iowa fans 2 weeks ago during the big game and my friend and I wore Badgers sweatshirts just for a little fun!

Been asking Concierge for a while, came up with that today...

I am going for PLA(3). So based on that Palo, well Brunch and Tea is easy, Dinner isn't, most likely nip it in on a rotational dinner, as done that before.

Very good point, we leave at 4.30pm, however and it takes 90 mins so by 6pm, should be out at sea.
