Hi, everyone. I have been off the tread fir a while. What are these jounals and how can I request one?
Thanks, irene

Erin is coordinating port journals for the kids. Some of us put together info for each of the ports we're visiting and Erin is kindly formatting them and pitting them together. I believe she closed the journal requests today to give her time to get everything together.

She said it will ship Monday. If it is not here in time I will be placing a dispute. I am really taken aback by this.... If I am making something and placing it on EBAY - and I get overwhelmed with order then I would take my listing down until I knew It was reasonable for me to take on more.. And she is highly recommended here on the boards too!... it is over 2 weeks late per the order time... 20 days! July 11 was the order date and pay date.

Hopefully she makes good and ships faster than 1st class...

I will send out some good vibes

Its great isn't it! I had never been on a treadmill before, so that was a bit of an experience. Be interesting to see how you get on, I had a couple of twinges in my knees the first few runs, which I put down to them pushing me back into the right position. Which shoes did you get.

Does that mean Darren is running too now?, or did he already? OH was thinking of getting some for taking away, as they are so light in the luggage, but he isn't the sort of guy to wear sneakers atall really, unless he was running, which he doesn't!

I do week 8 tomorrow 30 mins. straight, hopefully 5k!!!!! I have bought a power drink to help me through it!!!!

Hi

Not sure if anyone can recall this, but a while ago, probably back in July, someone posted an itinerary for each day, as an excel spreadsheet. It had the stops, sail times etc., I did save it, but it has disappeared from my computer.

Now I have searched and looked everywhere, but can't seem to find it again, can anyone help? It was very impressive and the thought of doing it all myself is pretty daunting!

Thanks

Kate

I took the advice of someone else and purchased some pins from e-bay. Now the hope is that they get here in time and that they are real. We have never traded pins before so this is really new for us. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Guess what? WE SAIL IN 10 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a bit of a scare today. We were at my nephew's birthday party and Brandon fell back on his wrist and heard a "snap". His fingers swelled up to twice their size. We left the party and took him to the doctor for an x-ray. Luckily it's NOT broken. He's a bit bummed that it's not, because we had talked up how he could get all the characters to sign his cast to make him feel better! He's in a removable splint until the 18th, the day we board!!!!!

Goodness!!!!! I know how you felt!!! Thank heavens it is not broken, honestly kids do keep you on your toes. I never had any grey hairs until I had DD!!!!

Hopefully the swelling will have gone down by then and it will be a bit easier for him.

Mindy, how did your son get on at Camp? Was everything OK?, I wasn't sure if it was next week, or this week? We kept DD off her last day, I just thought that for one day, it wasn't worth the risk.

Just over a week to go, next week is going to be hectic getting everything together - packing and putting the FE's together.

Looks like strike won't start until at least Aug 22nd now!!!!

MADRID, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Spain's air traffic controllers should accept the government's offer to settle the conflict over pay and working conditions by arbitration to avoid a strike, Public Works Minister Jose Blanco said on Sunday.

Until the USCA union, representing the air traffic controllers, responds to the proposal by airports authority AENA, the government is under no obligation to return to the negotiating table, Blanco told Spanish radio.

"We can't continue to go around and around this matter at the negotiating table," Blanco said.

"We (the government) proposed calling in an arbitrator to find a solution but this was not accepted. They (the air traffic controllers) need to respond to our offer first before we are under any obligation to take another decision," he added.

Talks between AENA and USCA broke down late on Friday, raising the possibility of a strike this month in the world's second largest tourist destination country.

The USCA union said it hopes talks will be resumed but will decide on Thursday whether to go ahead with strike action.

"We hope the talks will be resumed, but if not, our executive committee will meet on Thursday and consider the situation, including possible strike action. The decision will probably be announced on Friday," a spokesperson said.

The timetable means no flight before Aug. 22 will be affected, as airline sector labour action must be announced at least 10 days in advance, El Pais newspaper said.

AENA and the USCA union had been expected to reach an agreement by Friday, after which AENA said it would aim to settle the matter through arbitration.
