8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #14

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Finishing up packing today....After inspecting one of our pieces of luggage, after 10+ years of mishandling by the airlines, it's better we not take the chance with it anymore (broken handle, torn edge, zipper sticks, etc). Off to the store.... to buy another piece or two. I had suggested duct tape, but that idea got shot down.
Safe travels!!! We'll be there Tuesday!!

I know they do get bashed around a bit, this year is the first time I didnt buy anything new as being in Europe seemed ot be better in 2007.

That is very cute!


Say hi to Chrissie! Enjoy your day in Hollywood. If you enter the lottery for Wicked tickets and get extras...call me!! LOL It's DD and my favorite!



Andrew...now i'm stressing over YOU packing.......along with stressing over packing our family of 6!! Get going, will you???


The weather is just beautiful right now! I can't wait to meet everybody!

Dont stress about me I am highly organised, on everything bar Luggage, we have two 'full' days to start it, no problem!!!

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

One week from right now the family and I should be getting close to the port on the DCL bus!

WHOOPIEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!​

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Mike....

Now what sort of WARNING were you offerin' to good ol' Andrew here anyway?

I Am the

TOTALLY INNOCENT

type ... after all???

The biggest question of them all?






Will Riker




Beard or no Beard?





When he shaved it off he said, ''Smooth as an androids Butt!''

If there is anyone who doesn't have trip insurance, please get it.

My step mother and her daughter called yesterday morning to tell us my father died. I asked when they were planning to have the funeral and they said Friday. I got a call later saying the family has decided to have the funeral on SUNDAY instead.

So I had to cancel. I'll get a refund. DCL refunded half yesterday and I have to turn in calm forms to the insurance company for the balance.

Since I didn't book airfare with DCL, I may be out of that expense.

Is there anyone here who hasn't purchased DL park passes yet? I have two of the three day Southern California passes. If someone needs them, they are yours (no charge). They expire on the 30. If I don't give them way, they will be wasted.

If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll overnight them before we head to South Carolina on Tuesday.

If no one here needs them, I'll try to give them away on DL board when I return.

Sorry to be a downer in the mist of all the excitement.


Enjoy your TOAL and please take/post plenty of pictures.

Love ya Tanya

We are so sorry for the loss of your Father and that you will not make it on the trip. We will keep you and your family in my prayers.

No, no, no. That's Motel 6

And Tom, what's so WRONG with Motel 6?

 

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

Extra gel seat

K I lost your original post, but if no one else claims the gel seat my add would appreciate it. Thanks

 

[lbgraves]

Lisa: You said that irons aren't allowed in the rooms? So we can't even bring our own? Do they actually say that anywhere like "Don't bother to pack your iron" or anything? Do they allow curling irons? Isn't that the same fire hazard?

Here are some threads where this has been discussed.

Is there laundry service?

Onboard laundry and dry-cleaning services (with stateroom pickup) are available for a charge. There is also a self-service Guest Laundry Room with coin-operated washers and dryers, along with detergent and ironing equipment. For safety reasons, the provided irons or steamers may be used in the laundry room only; personal irons cannot be brought aboard.

Gee...

I always thought Riker wuz another one of those

INNOCENT

Folks....

Besides ... I think the verbage was ...

"... Androids' Bottom..."

Of course, I could be wrong too.

Better you than him right? I am always (well almost always) glad when I am the one sick and not my kids because they make you feel like you are sick also even when you are not.

Take care and rest.

You are so right!!! It's been a long day with DS already and it's only 1:30. He's finally calmed down and not whining about something, and is sitting now on the couch now watching the Olympics cheering on the US team at water polo, lol.

 

[blesidangl]

We hope that everyone has a great day. Gotta do my errands and get things packed. DD6 wants to take her whole room so I got to check it out.

Please take care and hopefully I will be able to catch up on the thread..

Have a great day,

Your friends,

Enough already. La Tanya you've been through a lot this year and my heart goes out to you.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thanks Monica, Laurie, and Tracy for getting this set up!

Ditto! Thanks so much & the schedule is awesome. I really appreciate the thought & time that was put into this!

ITA.....

After yesterday's fly across the handlebars, June has several scrapes and bruises to show for her spill. But she was a trooper and today we went for a long bike ride. Near the end of the ride, she tried to avoid a lady and her dog and almost ended up in a stream. Less than a minute later, she almost got hit by a Suburban

After giving the driver a piece of her mind, she was pretty shaken up and in tears riding home. She decided that she wasn't going to chance it and will stay off the bike until after the TOAL!!

Oh my! ITA with this! No more biking riding June!

I'm a little behind here lately! I can't even seem to make it to chat! All of sudden family & friends are inviting us over for dinner. I guess they figure, we'll be gone the rest of the summer so they better invite us now. Well it's nice & all, but I still have magnets, iron-on transfers & FE gifts to finish. Tonight we are invited to my BIL & SIL's for lobster, so I'll be behind again!

​

I kno....

however, do YOU know what you get when you google search for images using the key words :

DATA BOTTOM TREK -- or add any number of variations on this?

Yeah

Yes I did....no such luck. But I am running to a different store this evening,I'll have to check it out there.

Wow I wouldn't have expected it to be that hard to find!

Thanks for the info! Makes it sound like they'll confiscate it if we do bring one!

When you take an underwater photograph, they usually come out all blue and washed out as the red light component gets absorbed once you get down more that 5 feet.

There's a 14 step process in Photoshop which fixes the colors back to what they should be.

Before:

After:

But doing this by hand for every phograph is time consuming. So PS can remember the sequence of commands used to fix the photos, then replay them for each pic you want done. You can then then have PS run this remembered sequence on a whole folder of pics, saving a whole bunch of time for DIS

Andy

Can you do this for GIMP also and send it to me....


I don't have photoshop

I think I've already spoken of the little girl in our neighborhood who was RUN OVER by a driver backing out of thier driveway? The Dad was following behind his 2 kids as they rode thier bikes through the neighborhood on the side walks (i believe) and he was not close enough to warn his youngest daughter in time to avert the accident.

I used to think it was just cars on the road to watch for - as well as debris in our paths - or dogs and such. However, the hazard of a reversing car from the driveway was one I used to not consider at all!

Fortunately - the victim survived and seems normal outwardly and she swims on our swim team. We've know the family for a couple years and they are among the nicest folks. It's so unfortunate that this happened to them?!

At any rate... I don't blame your daughter for being in tears on the ride home. After my bicycle accident I started riding again - and found it uncomfortable when similar circustances arose to that when I was hit!

 

[tom31b]

Somewhere in the last thread, in that flurry of 1,000 or so posts in the last day or so, someone had mentioned picking up the $25 underwater camera.

I think they were going to let everyone know how it worked and post some pics.

Was this done? Did I miss it?
