[jilljill]

Wow, I was speechless! I think to stay out of trouble you two are going to have ALL of the women to drinks!!

That would be buying drinks for each of us EVERY day!!!
I'm sure that Andrew will help you out Robert and pick up the tab for every other day for getting you in deeper trouble and himself on this page.

 

[jilljill]

Cheap round then.

Only Julie and my Mrs...






That post must be worth '50' points from a female MOD...

I could say 100 points, but that would get you banned.

I prefer to buy lots of drinks for a single women & than have my way with her!

Wonder what your wife would say to this?!?
Just think, buying lots of drinks for lots of women would be so much safer for you with your DW.

Whilst you have been getting drunk in cyber space I've been looking at the excursions and have discovered that the Viking tour in STockholm appears to be run by a company called gallivant productions (or they both use the same photo) and cost 125SEK/adult (about £11/$18) with accompanying children free (on a 1:1 ratio). I wonder what the DCL excursion charge will be??? THe only thing I'm not sure about is the proximity of the start of the tour to the cruise ship port - I may well e-mail them & ask!

What at the children's ages? Please let us know what you find out.
You are included in Robert's free drinks for ladies, in fact you get more since you are arranging the bus transfers.

I think we have prices in one to two weeks.

Hi all!

Barb- have you looked at the prices at the Park Plaza Victoria lately? I could be wrong but it looks like they have gone down.
The executive room is showing a rate of 102.60 pounds per night for the nights of the 16th and 17th. That is for 2 adults and 1 child. I booked a room there around the same time you did based on your recommendations but I keep checking pricing periodically to see if anything better comes along.

I just changed my room to a regular room last week and we got a AAA rate of 89.10 GBP + VAT. DH figured we could buy our own drinks, snacks and b'fast with the savings. I'll definately go back and look for a different rate for the executive room.
We really liked the location and the hotel. The staff was very nice and the hotel is modern and exceptionally clean.

Sorry, I'm so used to people spending my money I figured I'd do it to someone else. But then the DW's have to stick together.
I think we need to keep our spouses away from each other in London, tonight DH said he wants to go to the Portobello Rd. market Sat. morning.

We have our flights booked! We leave BWI on British Air the night of the 14th and arrive in Heathrow the morning of the 15th. Still have to book our hotel in the next couple of days.

Hi all
Getting excited now the excursions have come out. The plan right now is to go with DCL for a Berlin tour and on our own for every place else...but that might change.

Thinking of doing a segway tour of Tallinn so I sent an email to a company I found online
http://www.supersegway.com/index.php?page=estonia

Not sure if there are other companies that do this kind of tour.
Anyone know?

St Petersburg and Tallinn are the ports that I am concentrating on for the moment.

I've been out of the loop for a while. Has anyone found private tours for any of the other ports yet?
