First off congrats to myself for having the 1000th post to our thread!!!!!!

I check my airfare daily as when I booked it through Orbitz, they had a price guarantee. Basically if my airfare fell below what I booked it at, they'd refund the difference after my trip. So, daily I go on to see where it is at. Luckily for me, it's steadily GONE UP since booking. Today, it's DOUBLE what I paid!!!!! Luckily I booked it when I did, I can't imagine paying over 2k PER TICKET!!!!

We're also in the 7th RIGHT by the tower! We're staying at Hotel Eiffel Siene. We fly out Tues night at 5:50 on Air France and are staying on Las Ramblas at either Le Meridien or Rivoli Ramblas.

My bad, we're actually in the 15th, since we're so close to the Eiffel tower, I assumed we were also in the 7th. We're 500 yards away from the tower!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!

We are very close!

We will be staying at the Dusquenne Eiffel...not too far. We should meet up for coffee or by the tower!



Have we planned any activities for the cruise (meets, fe's etc?) I have a mac and iweb so I can make a free webpage similiar (but probably not as good lol!) as the link above.

Let me know!

On that Weebly site, look at the "links" button on the top and there are several trip report links there.

Also on our forums, looks k at the top and click on the trip report site and just scan the titles for med stuff.

A fellow Mac geek! Yeaaaaaa!

So am I, but I don't have iWeb..... We have 2 Macs in this house along with 2 iPhones, 2 iTouches and various iPods no longer in use.....

Actually I do... found it... I've never played with it, so have no idea on how it works!!!!

Rotfl! I have the same thing! Our old iPods are hanging out, one docked in an alarm clock, and I have an oolllddd iMac from 2002 that is too slow for DD to tolerate. The newer iMac is slowly running out of disk space and I'm too busy dumping $$ into a really cool vacation to buy that MacBook pro I want......I convinced DH that he wanted an iPhone, and now he's hooked too! I did the mobile me for the ease of sharing stuff, iWeb, and the awesome mail filters! I LOVE that I hardly ever get junk!

I like you guys already! lol!

I hear you. I need an Apple 12 step program..... I REALLY want a macbook pro, but like you my $$$ is currently going elsewhere.....

 

[Cliffside]

We are getting a new lap top and contemplating getting our first mac. Right now we only have pc's. But Dh has an i-touch and we all have ipods.

Congrats on the 1000th post.

Welcome back
Mary
Have you planned out your excursions yet?

 

[pixie08]

Jel- I know I want an ipad but I am like ok so $800 for that or towards my cruiseplus my imac is new (and I have an iphone) so that should tide me over. Disney and the cruise are foremost on my brain lol!

cliffside-

We are only silver castaway members so it looks like we can only book 90 days in advance. So crossing my fingers we get what we wnat, but this is what we have planned so far:

Malta: Blue grotto and marsaloxk

Tunis: Tunis on your own

Naples: We were going to do Pompeii, amalfi drive but I think we are going to try Pompeii and taste of sorrento if we can get in.

Rome: On our own

La Spezia- not sure yet. We really do not want to do the drive into Florence (hopefully we will get back there soon) so we are looking into the positano/Santa Margehrita tour or the pisa tour.

Corsica- On our own

Villefranche- wine and cheese (with nice and eze I think)

I am also going to wait and see some of the reviews before getting to set!

DH wants the iPad, and I'm probably going to buy it for him for our anniversary. He wants the 3G one, as he takes the train every day into NYC. It will probably be more useful than his iPhone for him. WHO knows, he might ditch the iPhone(more likely just give it to my DD), as he does have a blackberry from work.

 

[jel0511]

Mary - We're also going to try for the Pompeii and Taste of Sorrento excursion. We were going to do the one with Capri, but it's over 400 more......

My husband wants the ipad and we have our anniversary, fathers day and his birthday between now and the cruise. I'm also thinking of getting him some zoom lenses for his camera.
