A joke to start the day with....


During a recent password audit, it was found that a blonde was using the following password:

MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofy

When asked why such a big password, she said that it had to be at least 8 characters
HAHAHA

Then you should send him to this link. Our source for fezzes, or at least the ones on the cruise. We also have the clockwork fez:

I love the website!!! And I want this one...

Regarding packing, I had the brilliant idea of those packing bags that you hook up to a vacuum cleaner to suck out the air and compress everything. Then I realized that that would only work one way, not unless I also packed our vacuum cleaner to suck out the air for the return trip.

I'm sure the room steward would let you use their Henry... Or you can get the bags that you expel the air from yourself - no sucking required...

And now I must love you and leave you as I'm off to Paris in a couple of hours and I need to get ready!!! Richard and I are meeting at 7pm in the champagne bar at the St Pancras station - romantic, huh?!! Then we're catching the late train and having dinner onboard...

Anyway, I'll be back on Sunday afternoon so will catch up then...
A bientot...

 

[mishoe01]

Have a great time Kaz!! Hugs to Richard.

It's going to be very challenging to have a productive dialogue about the journey on two threads. To me this journey is no different than steamship voyages of days gone by, where you had various ports of call with passengers embarking and disembarking.

Right now I think there should be 2 cocktail mixers, one at the start, and after Vancouver to welcome all the recent boarders.

Definitely!

You're weekend sounds much more romantic than mine! We'll be meeting at home tonight, where we'll get organized to drive to Vancouver tomorrow to go see our team play in the marshmallow (as per Ken's photo post!). Oh, and most important, also to see our 10yo nephew and his team play on the field at halftime!

Have a great time in Paris

That sounds so horrible. Sukie and I however are so lucky. In the amount of time it takes you and Richard to get to Paris, we can get to Detroit. I would must rather stroll the boulevards of scenic Detroit any day over those of Paris.

They have pink UGGs!

I know they have purple, as Miss Molly had those, and if there is purple there must be PINK

Okay, the only news in the other threads is they are setting up a separate webpage which will be the roster of the cruises, and pictures are welcome to be submitted to BobandLee in any format!

(how's that, Nan? )

Good work, you're hired. The pay, not so much. The hours, not so good. The benefits, priceless friendships

so here we are starting our own little thread, for those of us that just can't wait to get started with the planning.

Yea....pink furry tiaras and boas with pink Uggs and maybe even pink long johns....hahahaha.

Packing is going to be a bit of a challenge for this trip what with weight restrictions and all.

Clothing for cooler temperatures tends to be bulkier and take up more space.

Layers... although you will look like the Michelin man in plaid...

sure... make us drink twice!!!

I was thinking about that too. Formal attire will have to be of the winter variety not the summer kind. It's all going to be different. Many things will need to be shopped for and acquired. This will be a true challenge.

Another excuse to go shopping???

I would agree. Most things should be duplicated. (The Champagne Girls can only be done once however....way too expensive to do it twice.)

Deb... (this one is about Champagne girls...) I think we should make it a private affair and possibly just past champagne girls... there will be alot of us anyway and we don't need the education (if we can't figure out by now theres bubbles in our wine... ) ... we just need to drink...

&&&& we're gonna have to do it the first week... more sea days than when we actually hit Alaska...

 

[Tink rules]

Hey Deb...

There's even a fez with a turtle on it...

How could you miss this one??? It's SO close to Mickey Ears???

[1Grumpy John]

Ok a question for our Canadian friends what to put on the must do list for Vancouver?

 

[Tink rules]

John... Ken will tell you drink Canadian Beer....

Deb... here's a fez for Champagne girls...

Got it! Skip the Sommelier, bring the bubbly, more drinking and less education....definitely the first week because we have some Thieves...or the Original Champagne Girls...attending that won't be onboard the second week.

And I think it's way too early to make that determination. If we do a private party we'll probably do it at Palos. If it's going to include all ladies interested in attending, it will be bigger and will be held in Sessions or Diversions....time will tell....we'll know when we get there.

Oh that is soooooo cute!!!! There's no pricing though. I'm not going to wear it...I'm just a collector of anything turtle that I don't already have. That would count. It says to contact them if you're interested and that they won't last long. Ian are they less than $50 each or over? I usually don't pay a lot for my turtles. I love them all, but they're cheap! ahhaha.

Hey Nan....did Wilson love his turtles that you brought him back? I love the way they just find me everywhere I go.

ahhaha....I love it. Hey if they're not Mickey's ears....then whose ears are they?

Before I met Corona, I always drank Molson's. I went from Canadian to Mexican....but I still like them both.

Then I moved on to red and white wines....all the way to Champagne Bubbly!!! The history of my vices.


ahhaha....anyone remember Cheryl/newgeneb at the champagne girls....she's the one in the jacket and baseball cap and she wore the boa wrapped around her hat....how could anyone forget....oh, and her DH won $6500 playing bingo...anyway....SHE would love to wear that hat!
