August 20, 2005 - L.A. to Port Canaveral - Eastbound Repo Cruise - The SHIP OF FOOLS Part 2

Possible Bus To MCO after cruise-Update

Are there any more people interested yet?? Our total so far is 56, and there is room for 57.


If we use Mears Transportation and manage to fill the bus (capacity 57) the final cost will be $7.04 per person. If bus leaves the Port by 10:00am or so, it should put us at Orlando Airport by 11:00am.


Possible Bus To MCO after cruise-Update--so far 60

PM me if interested in either one...Mark


Also Bmwdsny is linking early dining, and EileenAmI is linking late dining, so that a few DISboard friends can eat at the same rotation and sit near each other. We have about 90 linked so far...Mark

MARK!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 14 nights of cruise food, we will most all need 2 seats each!

Does anyone know where my binoculars are? They seem to be MIA.

I packed the Mickey hands, found them over the weekend. If I find the second pair, I guess I should bring them also.

Not sure where yours are Marsha but does anyone have any suggestions as to a good brand to buy? I'm not looking to spend mega-bucks on them but I want a little better quality than the plastic ones you can find in the toy store.

Me thinks I may have to buy some Mickey hands too! Just think of how many sail-aways we're going to have on the cruise.

Sail away from L.A.
Sail away from Cabo San Lucas
Sail away from Acapulco
Sail through and away from the Panama Canal
Sail away from Curacao
Sail away from Castaway Cay

Marsha, here's a thought. You could join the exchange and sent a tiara to your exchangee. My daughter would love one too if you have an extra. I'm surprised you haven't PM'd me yet about the exchange!

Attention moms of young girls, I have 3 different Disney Princess Tiaras. If anyof you have a need for one, PM me. I believe I have Cinderella, Arial, and maybe TInk? Not sure I will have to find the box they are still in, and as we moved all the boxes (again), it may take a bit of searching!

All this "witty repartee" has me smiling.

Thanks for the offer, Marsha! Lara's "tiara situation" was taken care of by her Godmother this Christmas. When Lara told her she "needed" one for formal nights on the cruise, my friend bought her a full-sized silver one with Austrian Crystals! Just what every soon-to-be 9 year old "princess" needs! Lara, of course, totally loved it and spent most of the Christmas holidays modelling it for us!

I'm sure you'll find some eager princesses for your generous offer.

Andrew DEREK, when did you upgrade? I would really love to upgrade our room.

It was some months back, 2004/10/06 after being waitlisted by DU they came up trumps in the end. There will be four in my room and with three and a half weeks worth of suitcases from the UK it will still be difficult to swing a cat in!!

 

[Bmwdsny]

I think you should have a nap now Melinda

Cheers,
Grumbo

DId that already too!! Who do you think i am? an old fart???

Hi Arlene!! Good day today..I tell you 2 1/2 hours is enough for me for now...I am so used to the stay home full time...I ususally do the cleaning, shopping, laundry, in the morning and am doing it now in the afternoon....

Also, Grumbo, instead of picking on me on # of posts per day...pick on MARK!! if you take a length of his post, and break it down, he will far beat me to it!!! and you are right, you are not fighting...you are gawking!!!!!

Just checked out the weather for the cruise. It's 90 at the Panama Canal right now!

Just checked out the weather for the cruise. It's 90 at the Panama Canal right now!

Came back from Barbados at the weekend at for Christmas weeks it was 35c every day!

PC is closer to the Equator than Barbados, the weather is 'tropical' around there, like a rain forest, hot, humid, and the sun can burn, as the transit is inland and slow you will not have the nice sea breazes to cool you down, so prepare!

 

[kpgclark]

F = 9/5 C + 32

Yikes - it's gonna be HOT!!!

Athough actually I'm practicing for it right now in my office - 81 degrees and Rising! I know this is an old building, but PLEASE get it fixed!!! Before Christmas, we were working in here at 57 degrees when it was -35C outside.

Oh well, lots of cold drinks on our canal day!

Hey, any of you guys been over to "Waterworld" (AKA SHIP OF FOOLS SISTERHOOD - Strong and Healthy in 2005) lately? Latest stuff - Poor other Bob is being blamed for Melinda's inhalation of a Chocolate Milkshake last night!

Quote of the day from WW, "only water counts as water". Is this profound, or what!

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

And a few cold showers! Pool dives etc will help!

 

[kmiles]

We're not doing too bad at 73 degrees F but 90 sure does sound nice right now. 90 degrees with a frozen adult beverage in my hand.

You men can't handle the TRUTH!!!!!!!
I see how it is Mark..........I should have known better than to trust a male with info!!
BTW SISTERS-------don't believe the crap (or shall I say dribble--since thats what comes out of an old man's mouth) my father is trying to have you believe!! He's the one w/ alzheimers---it doesn't affect people of my young age........so obviously it was him (NOT ME) that booked his flight out of Orlando for the WRONG day..........he had my mother and his-self leaving on Wed. the 17th, not Tues. the 16th. Keep in mind ladies that our HoJo's ressies started the 16th!!!!! Now when I ordered my 3 tickets--I called him to inform him that the seats he told me he booked were showing up as available!! He swore up and down he had them booked--with the confirmation to prove it.
An hour later--my poor, poor mother calls to inform me the old jack-you-know-what had accidentally booked the flight for the 17th.
Now--when I armed Mark with this ammo--what does he do--let's my dad in on it. So now my dad thinks he's funny--as does Mark--but what else is new??
Okay ladies-----this means WAR!! We can't trust these men. Silly me for thinking I could!

I want one of those!!!! I need a fairy Godmother.

What fun we are going to have on this cruise. I just rechecked SWA's website, they are taking reservations up through June 6. My car is still on reserve at MCO, I still need to decide where in the world I am staying, maybe POP, maybe DVC is I can get it cheap, maybe offsite if I have enough Marriott points.

I really should not get too into this yet, my husband and I are going to England in Ma for his 50th BD. He was born there and wants to spend the day in a pub in his hometown. Our son (27, single and needs a GF) is also coming along. I have never been, DS hasn't either, it should be fun. Not as fun as spending 2 weeks with a bunch of FOols, but I will manage.

Speaking of which...

Did you know that any bar on the ship (including the restaurant bars) will make you a Konch Kooler? Just a little FYI for those not in the know.

So, what's everyone's favorite frozen drink?

Mine's a three-way toss up between all of those magnificent drinks I've discovered on the cruise!

Gassmandy...hey, at least he booked it for the right year (he did, right?)!! Give the old man a break...he has so many things to think about, like where his glasses are (on the top of his head), where his dentures are (glass beside the bed), how many Depends he'll need for the trip (hopefully he brings enough!), and trying to remember just what his name is!

 

[Bmwdsny]

I am glad you see that!! War started in this thread long long ago! and Kmiles is trying to be neutral here, i see!!!!
filibuster, filibuster, kmiles!!!!!

and don't forget his cane!! He has raised at me a few times with it!!! Depends would fill up the stateroom closet!! Poor Mary, no room to hang her dresses!!
