ALASKA - August 30th, 2011 - Mickeys Mooseketeers & the last Alaskan Cruisade! New Th

[PBader]

PJ, I actually got 3 of them each of them for $14.30. Can't figure out what they are for since I couldn't match numbers up to any of my future or past cruises. I figure they were port fee changes

I did manage to get 1 box full of household items--didn't make it upstairs for clothes though--maybe next week.

PJ - loved the picture! Yup, getting excited and hoping our weather for the trip is that good.

Paula - thanks for the idea about the address labels. I also decided to try the magnet paper since this is my first attempt and if I don't like it will use your sheet protector idea next time.

Melissa - will give you a call next week as things should be calming down for me for a possible thursday or friday.

I am thankful the weather here has been nice - sometimes sun, sometimes rain but nothing like what you all are experiencing.

Did you all hear about the Mendenhall Glacier Lake and River flooding on Thursday? They ended up cancelling some of the tours like the river rafting. If I can find the link and stuff again, will share. I don't remember if I saw it here or on cruise critic.

 

[PBader]

I am glad no one was hurt from it. Piikea are you still going to Haines while in Skagway? Pictures I have seen posted for excursions there look really nice.

My store on Broadway got robbed early this morning. My employees are okay-- I feel bad because I didn't hear my phone ring. I wish they would have tried calling again. I don't have many of the details--but I hope I got a good picture of the guy--last one had his face covered--so no way to catch him. I know C-stores seem to make good targets, but 10 years in prison for less than $100 bucks doesn't make sense. Scum bags...............

Hope everyone has a great day.

I did read a story about it but waters already receding yesterday. Hope it didn't affect Wonder passengers too much today.

So sorry to hear about that Paula, but really glad no one was hurt!

Paula,
Sorry to hear about the robbery. In a previous life I owned an alarm company and we also did cameras. It would be my pleasure to look over what you have sometime and help with guidance if you need to upgrade.

Paula, so sorry to hear that. Our office was burglarized last month so I know how hard it is to put things back to normal.

HEY ! Documents arrived today - We're on our way to Alaska

 

[poohj80]

HEY ! Documents arrived today - We're on our way to Alaska

Glad to hear they are starting to arrive. Still waiting here!

 

[PBader]

No docs here either, but I'll be on the lookout Monday!


Thanks Rick, just like I said your awful handy I actually have pretty decent systems at both stores, they just don't do a heck of a lot of good when they have their face covered. This was a young guy with a black bandana covering from right under his eyes, carrying a big butcher knife--less than a minute and he was in & out. The police lifted some prints so hopefully he is in the system. I remember when all we had were b/w time lapse recorders that took VCR tapes---that we used over & over & over again. But the important thing is that no one got hurt--money & merchandise can all be replaced.

Mike, sorry about your office. I imagine that was a chore getting it back together.

 

[HiMagicFan]

Aww Paula ~ that is terrible! Glad to hear everyone is okay!

Wow! how wonderful...you know the countdown has started if some of us are getting our papers!

Working on our vancouver plans this weekend with my Mom...

Paula, I am going to Haines (not on my own tho). Decided to do a Disney excursion - The Alaska Nature & Wildlife Expedition.

Hi,

I haven't checked in for a while, but our cruise documents arrived today!

Our FE gifts are finished and now we're starting our packing list.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Our cruise is now showing as unavailable or SOLD OUT online.

FULL BOAT!!! I am scared about the crowds. And I got my PAPERS today and no upgrade. I'm thinking there will not be any at the dock either. Hope I like the room. Thanks for encouraging us about the bunks. We have an inside on deck 2.


Paula, very sorry about your store. Wishing you a better week.

QUESTION: I do not have an FE. I do have my FE gifts done but I don't think I will have an FE hanging on the Fish. They cost like $50 and I am not handy to sew one. So question, what should I do. Will this be a problem. Can I hang a bag?

 

[staffieri]

PJ, Thanks for the replay about your whale trip. Looks like the group I was thinking about isn't you.
Me and my daughter got one book today. Thanks again.

Kimberly, I had an inside 2071 on the Magic for the 15 night 08 Panama Canal. I really liked it---I did go to 2564 OV for the 14 Night 10 Trans Atlantic. This was the only time we have been on deck 2 and wouldn't hesitate to stay again if I didn't want a balcony. I thought it was very convenient and I think you will be happy You can hang your net Castaway Club bag if you want for your FE---just bring a zip tie for it.

Paula, so sorry to hear about the robbery. Hopefully the fingerprints will turn up something.

Cruise docs showed up today! Worked on FE gifts and have been chipping away at my "To do before cruise" list. Time is certainly ticking away!

Our documents arrived in CA today! I am so excited. My husband rushed in to see what I was so excited about and could not believe I was happy over some pieces of paper that confirmed everything we knew already! He thought we got an upgrade or something.

So sorry about the burglary, Paula--I am glad no one was hurt.

If anyone new is on the boards and is participating in the FE, please send me the hair colors of your female passengers as I am making personalized gifts for the females! thanks!
