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

[micmse2003]

They book only a year in advance, but the advance purchase rate is the cheapest. It's $127 for a room with two double beds, up to $189 for a King Suite corner room.
And...their shuttle will take us to Costco!

Thanks for all the info. I am making notes.

I actually had reads a lot of your posts.
First, we are going to be married 40 years come 2008. Maybe we will get a medal for being the oldest married couple on board.

I have never received an post card much less an e-mail from DCL. I must have made the L for loser list!!!

I am not sure if we are going to DL before cruise either. I do have 18 months to prepare but I always plan ahead.

I Think you deserve a Medal, or a hearty congratulations for being married 40 years.......

My Parents are going with us........they should be around 58 years by then......sooooo you wont be the oldest married couple.........

I think the Crowne Plaza (yes, it was the Sheraton) also has an airport shuttle and shuttle to the port. I think that's where the Moms and I will be staying....if we can get a room.

Shoot! Wish it was still Sheraton 'cause I'm Starwood Gold.

Do you believe in time outs???? Do they work??? I used a light tap on the hand or bottom when the children were little. I wish someone would give me a time out now.

Oh Thank You Mark!!!! Last time I was the oldest at my table too!!! I am 3 months older than my DH. I robbed the cradle.

I see on the Double Tree site, that there's a "Super Shuttle" from LAX to the hotel for like $17.00 sounds interesting. Anybody had any experience with this and is this something that has to be reserved?

Evening everyone - I finally ketchuped and was in live chat. I'll be back to normal posting level tomorrow. Have a great night and see ya on the flip side!

 

[arlenesp]

I have all these Visa rewards and so far the only hotel I see is Marriot,Fairmont and Hyatt. I guess that won't work. Have to spend them on something else.

Hi everyone. Oh my gosh am I glad to finally be home! What a day I had at work. I'm the Public Relations Director for a large health care organization and we had a major scare late this afternoon. One of our employees opened an envelope with a white, powdery substance inside. Everyone in the area was removed and isolated for possible decontamination procedures. We had police, fire and hazmat all on the scene. The area was sealed off until hazmat could come in and test for any possible biohazard. Thankfully the tests were all negative and everyone involved was cleared.

Since I am in charge of media relations, I have to remain on scene to handle any media that call or show up. I had to go into emergency mode and prepare for a potential onslaught if the news got out or if it turned out to be something serious. Fortunately it was resolved quietly and without much delay so I am happy to say I won't be on the news at 11 tonight. But it was very stressful nonetheless and I am glad that it didn't turn into a huge story. Mostly I'm glad that everyone involved is fine and there is no threat to their health.

I'm going to go take a hot shower, slip into my jammies and have a glass of wine! TGIF!

Where is everybody tonight?

 

[arlenesp]

I was out looking for a carved walking stick for Rich. We saw some really nice ones on the internet but darn it if you can never find what you're looking for when you need it.I told him I'd get him a stick and he should take up the hobby of carving
I remember seeing them all the time at the flea markets and stores that carry carved wooden heads etc. But the flea market was like a ghost town today and we made a hasty retreat.

Congratulations, I have such a long way to go to reach any kind of status!! Where in Ontario do you live? We are Canadians as well and lived in Ontario for 5 years. We are in CA right now but this summer we are moving to Alberta. I think I will go into Target withdrawl so right now I'm on a bit of a shopping frenzy, I only have 4 more months left to shop

Laura

Hi Laura ... I grew up in Oakville and have lived in Burlington and now in Waterloo. When did you live here and where did you live? I'm bringing some Tim Horton's with me on the cruise. Just need to pick up a coffee maker at a Target's before boarding the ship. Stop by for a cup. Oh yes ... Note to self ... Put styrofoam cups on list!

SWMBO really wants to do DL, if we can afford. One of our issues with booking this cruise was 2008 was to be our year to go back to WDW. We didn't go last year because we had the 10-day HC booked and we purposely were skipping this year (and now with the 'vacation of a lifetime', couldn't afford it) to go out West, so it'll been three years w/o a Disney park fix and we are used to going every year.

So, if we can afford, we will be at DL for a couple of days before the cruise.

Yayyy me ... I just figured out what SWMBO means ... Are you married to OBMW's ?? Is SWMBO OBMW's ??? Did I get it right?
