8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC

Welcome! This is the latest incarnation for the Captain Jack's Repossession Repositioning Cruise to Port Canaveral thru The Panama Canal. This thread is largely impossible to keep up with, even for the most active poster. However, its a lot of fun with a great group of people, so jump in and say hi, even if you can't sit here reading 24/7.

In order to keep all of the relevant information in some sort of order, we have a Website that has a lot of good information on ports, packing, etc. There is a really good "virtual cruise" that takes you day by day through the cruise, a must see and guaranteed to get you even more excited for the cruise. While you are there, sign up for our mailing list using the webmaster link on the main page.

Most important information posted on this thread is cut/paste by the good people here and placed on our planning boards. This is also the place to go to sign up for any of the events you are interested, ask questions where you don't have to search through 1,000 posts to find the answer, etc.

So fasten your seat belt, keep your hands and head inside the car at all times and have fun.....

Navigator Update:

If you are a task force leader, except for Peter, you should have received a PM from me this morning. Please respond ASAP to confirm the information (many of you have already - thanks!). Peter, I'll send your's tonight, the rugby info is on my other computer.

If you are planning an event and didn't receive a PM from me, and you name is not Peter, that means the event is not currently listed in the Pirate Navigator draft. Please send me the information ASAP!!!

Here is a list of activities I have so far. Please note that I did not inlcude things that will be in the regular DCL Navigator such as Mickey Mouse Club Night, Catholic Mass, etc. To keep this post from being 8 pages long, I'm only listing the day, time and title here - more details will be in the navigator. If you are a Leader, you have the details in a PM.

There is a kids thread

 

[silmarg]

I'll cut to the chase and get #13 started....

oh...another reason i've been off the thread....been really sick with morning sickness....
yep...my screen name will change next february to wheelerkidz4!!! we are almost 10 weeks along, so i havent been feeling the best!! hopefully i'll be back to par by the time we sail!
here is a pic of our little peanut

WOW! What fantastic news! (Sorry this is post is sooo late).

Hey all! Hope everyone has a good day today. Desiree dd got your card and she was so excited! She wanted to know how Mickey got our address and I had to think quick and say that since he is the head mouse that he could look up our addy in the reservation system! Hey it sounded good to me and she bought it! Thank you so much it really made her day. Now to ketchup up!

Yes, we got ours as well... Thanks so much Desiree!

We had the same experience...had hail damage and got a whole new better roof. Oh, and our insurance is $339 per year. $500 deductible. I am well aware of how cheap our insurance is here in the Midwest and Wisconsin especially...But, don't even start on property taxes. We pay $6500 per year. It probably all balances out in the end!

K, now I am jealous... I've never had a homeowners claim in 12 years. I pay over $1000 for insurance. And property taxes.... uhhh. $14,000 for a 1800sq ft home! (thats not a misprint), 8% income tax, 8% sales tax.

Granted, we have good public schools here... but still the taxes are nuts...

There are folks who have 3000sq ft houses and pay over $25k in property taxes... I've seen some large homes (5000sq ft +) with ober $40k in taxes!

I probably won't catch up on the last thread

I forgot to add on my "brush with fame" post that I rode the elevator with Steven Tyler and his two bodyguards a few years ago while in Las Vegas. We were both staying at the Four Seasons - I can say he was extremely nice and he started a conversation asking if I was having fun and enjoying my stay.

Wow - 17 days to go for me - I thought I was doing fine getting things together but this past week flew by - I really need to get things done. Work will be busy next week so I want to get as much done on Saturday as I can - wish me luck

Congratulations and best wishes on all who celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, etc
We will have one big party onboard in just a little over two weeks

 

[buckifan]

I missed this one earlier...

Happy Birthday Issac!!!
