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

And another question:

Is the Holiday Inn San Pedro full up for Friday Night? I have Janis' #, but thought I'd ask here before I put a call in to her.

A quick post to let everyone know that I'm doing ok. For those who didn't know, I had Lasik surgery this morning. Everything went great though the eyesignt isn't 100% yet. I'm glad I can type with my eyes closed though LOL! We had a little issue on the way home with my driver, but he's ok now. Thank you for thinking of me. I was very nervous, but it was fine!

Don't think it's full yet - as of early January she had access to a few more rooms - call her ASAP and verify though.

I didn't know about the surgery either Tracy but am gald to hear everything went well!

OK, I perused the pin website, and this is very exciting! However, since we can't use copyrighted designs, I wonder if that includes the Mickey ears? I'll see if I can get the creative juices flowing!

You cannot use the FULL Mickey ears ... just a "hint" of the ears (like PART of ONE ear) ... my husband has designed 7 fantasy pins so far (you can do a search on PINPICS for John Schaefer to find them) and he'd already designed a fantasy pin for the repo cruise ... I'd posted about it waaaay back when (when this thread was maybe a few dozen pages long ) ... I'm going to send the picture to Tracy to include in the next Fools newsletter.

Those are some really great designs, Susan. Your husband uis quite talented and creative!

 

[mississaugamom]

Susan - your husband's pin designs are terrific! Sorry we missed the post about the pin design for this cruise.

Could you post the design online or send it to Dan???

Couple of questions: Does anyone know anything about tuxedo rental for this cruise? Second, since chat was kind of a bust last night, anyone want to chat tonight?

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Tracy, glad everything went ok. Just to let you know, I am jealous. Would love to have that done!

I am so excited! I got me newsletter. Thanks so much. It was awesome! AND a big thanks for all you went through to get it to us AOL people.

We will take 2 pins.

I seriously hope chat is working now! That was a pain last night!

 

[Luv2Dream]

Yes, it was frustrating. I'm willing to try again. You?

Lynn what a coincidence....
Jazz and I were just ready to unveil the new J.G.E. tuxedo collection for this cruise but seeing as you have broached the subject we can give you a bit of a sneak preview.....
Mark did some of the modelling........

Just a hint. Mark is a master of disguise and only ONE of these photos is NOT him. Can you pick out the one that is NOT Mark. (btw the fourth photo is a member of the Sisterhood in disguise.)

Cheers,
Grumbo

 

[kmiles]

I would have to guess that the third picture in the group is the one that isn't Mark. It just looks too much like plastic and I don't think he could pull it off.

Intersting question about the Tuxes. They probably will use the same rental comapny as they do today. I can't imagine that the company doesn't already supply tuxes for west coast based ships now. The pick up on one coast and drop off on the other isn't that big of a deal, they should already be used to it with all the ships that cruoise through the canal to repo each season already.

WHEW!!!
I just blew through 22 pages of this post! We took a long weekend to welcome my DS home from Iraq.

Tracy - I would love to read the newsletter but don't have it. Could I get one? I'm pretty sure I PM'd you my e-mail address. Let me know. Congratulations on the LASIK. I did it last year at this time and couldn't be happier! Totally amazing. DON'T RUB!!!!

So far I PM'd about the bus to MCO and about ordering pins. Mark and Dan, check your PM's.

Haven't had time to become a "Pirate" yet but will try and check that out later. And I haven't checked the other site yet .

The time is flying by!

Thanks again!!

Tracy I didn't know either. Glad all is well though.

Regarding Tuxedos since we'll certainly have more than one formal night you might consider buying one. My husband got one before our cruise a year ago on Celebrity from SYMS and it was a good price and very nice quality. They had a large variety to choose from. Of course you also have to get the shirt, bow tie, and cumberbun...

Another person posted receiving an exchange gift today. I sent mine two days ago via USPS and supposedly it should arrive today. Perhaps there will be another announcement.
