8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #7

[Andrew DEREK UK]

I think 5am is better than 12am. At least you get some sleep.

You think I am going to sleep, knowing I have to be up at 4.30am!

 

[MrsScooby]

Please, God, PLEASE do not let my in-laws find any of the available cabins.

Please? Pretty please?

They are popping up everywhere you know, (cabins not relatives)

OMG This is so funny
I was thinking the exact same thing
DH has told me he doesn't want his DM on the cruise, but he won't tell her

 

[MrsScooby]

You think I am going to sleep, knowing I have to be up at 4.30am!

I would be worried about oversleeping
it seems to happen at the worst times

 

[gofenmom]

Since this is my first cruise anywhere - How did you find the times of the shore excursions? We will be booking "after midnight" since my friend has cruised before. Thanks, G

Friends you can choose for yourself, relatives you are stuck with, ( unless they think the ship is full!)

I get home at 9:30 and 12 is usually the time I crash.This will be an interesting early am.

Either a travel agent or DIS people that get to book at 105 days out (suite or vow renewal) have access to the times.

I have to go away with my son this week so i wont be on my trusted Pc at home. I have all my favorites saved. I will be using my sons new laptop that I am not to familar with.. With me luck..

If anyone is familar with HIGH SCHOOL MOCK trial teams.. that is what I am doing. My sons school won the NY SATE regional competition and now we are off to ALBANY NY..Please keep us in mind to bring the trophy home.

Thank you to all the members that have posted the times of different excurions. That is most helpful.. and discouraging to see some of the times. We were hoping to get 2 excurions in at some of the longer ports... Well we can see what happens..

Oh, I take both cell phones and set the alarm clock on them 5 minutes apart in case of power failure when I need to get up. We have so many mini blackouts I can't take the chance sometimes.plus I have a UPS on my Computer so I can get a bit of time on it if the power is out. I used to have the alarm on the UPS but found out the darn thing would go off all hours of the night. I have a feeling the power co does maint during the wee hours.

I am off to work in 36 min

Scattered thunder showers predicted tomorrow. Anyone care to wager on when my power will go out??

My money is on 11:58 p.m.




...and then some, I've heard.

Just saw our forcast...............Windy...variable clouds with thunderstorms, especially early. Low 64F. Winds WSW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 40%. Hope I don't lose power.

UPDATE ......MOUSE SCORE.....


Mice - 0 -

Family - 4 -




Came home from dinner and the lhasa had one cornered underneath my slot machine.


Jared has a friend spending the night, so the two boys are having a blast with the "search & destroy" missions.

At least the family is winning. We had a lhasa growing up. She lived for 15 years. Great dog !

Was able to book a room three weeks ago and now am trying to catch up on all of the planning... 3 months and counting....

Welcome aboard ! Never to late to join the party.

OMG! I haven't even begun to buy pictures. I think the most expensive ones if about $300. Will go up tomorrow to see what my damage is so far.



So glad I could help Dan!




Yes to the menus - as bright as it is - reminds me of pineapples! The litho is one per cabin.

M, the wine packages from the first night are all locked up but I was told the prices - for the classic package for a 7 day is $189 and the 7 day premium is $293. For the 15 day he told me that if you ordered on the FIRST DAY only - you got 14 bottles plus 1 bottle free to make 15. If it is not ordered then you only get the 14 if ordered on another day. The price for the classic is. $374. The Premium is $578. I managed to reappropriate a 7-day pamphlet ( ) which I can post the wines later. But they've got the white wines and sparkiling wines and red wines. Any one in particular you are looking for - just pm with me your favorite. I am trying to locate an opening day pamphlet.

By for now.

Thanks Laura, I also think the internet package will cost us.

Hi -

I'm back in L.A. & I've tried to ketchup - I'm becomiing adept at skimming!!

Anyway - I"ve requested 8/23 for the Wench's Brunch. DCL Inventory Contro will not notify me until the 30 day mark.

Is the PJ Breakfast & the Brunch that much of a conflict?? There will only be 14 of us at brunch - what time if the breakfast? We 14 might just have a cup of coffee and save our appetites for the brunch??!!

The Ice cream event is also set for the 23rd. More conflict???

Hello!

I'm back from dropping 2 of the girls off at the GS Santa Barbara Zoo sleepover... it was such a gorgous drive going and returning along the ocean today. It turned out really nice to because the Zoo leaders let me go into the zoo to shoot some photos of the girls.

And I'm happy to share that my both of my BILs are coming on the cruise. One of them had been considering canceling on account of his spouse being pregnant and in the 3rd trimester during our cruise. Well, since we had so much of the family gathered he was reluctant to quit - and never-the-less had been on the fence these past few weeks. So - tonite he settled on coming with us and that makes all of us that much more happy. His spouse will have to stay behind and her Mom will keep her company during her husbands absence. Pretty wild, eh?

Aside from that I'll put some pictures together in a bit... OK... here they are ... just a few from when I dropped the girls off...

Above left is everyone going in the front gate... at above right are all the tents from the gathered GS
Below left are our 5 girls posing in front of 1 tent, and below right is me with Kalea some time before we left for the nite.

And below left are the Santa Barbara Zoo counselors taking care of things - at below right is dusk on the south beach adjoining the Zoo

Great pics. Tom Bet you will have some tired girls this AM. Looks like they are going to have a blast !

My DS Andrew is 14, will be 15 by Dec. He starts high school in Sept. I do know there are other boys around the same age also on the cruise. They are just not as chatty as the girls

Good luck to your DS with the mock trial (sounds cool )

Not a good sign.

You are lucky to have been able to buy some as well! As well as the one I got on the repo last August, I did win one at Bingo . . .



I thought someone had spoken to him on a cruise and reported he planned to be on it?



Welcome!!!



Hi Chris;

Hope things get back to normal for you! I'll keep my fingers crossed that we get that Palo brunch . . .

Thanks, I have never been on a cruise with Ducky before and I am really lookinbg forward to that.

I'm off soon to do a 10K AIDS walk in Central Park with my oldest daughter and two of her friends. The weather should be fine this morning, but we expect rain this afternoon -- hopefully it will wait until after the post-walk concert and big announcement of the amount raised, at 3 PM. Hope everyone has a good Sunday and see you TONIGHT!!!!

Great cause, good luck and have fun.
