August 20, 2005 - L.A. to Port Canaveral - Eastbound Repo Cruise - The SHIP OF FOOLS Part 3

[mmouse37]

Congratulations!!!!

Boy do I understand what you mean about the UK valuing their time off...you guys do it right....our standard here is to start a job with 2 weeks paid vacation...then you can work your way up to more weeks the longer you are in the job....but that is not enough for me!!! I often take a few weeks off without pay, just to have the time off!!!

 

[DenverVal]

I was finally able to take two consecutive weeks off just two years ago, after almost 20 years in the work force. I have never worked at one place long enough to accrue more than three weeks of vacation, and was never allowed (or could afford) to take it all at once; ten days was my longest vacation. It was wonderfully relaxing and I need more vacations like that...really looking forward to this cruise!

 

[DisneyElf]

I get 23 personal days a year, don't move up to the next tier for a while (28), plus we get 8 Federal Holidays off.

We need to become a colony of the British Empire again - so we can get more vacation time


Mark the check will be in the mail on Monday

 

[ladypoo]

hey you guys. vacation time. hmmmm... our schedules are so that we work a week and are off a week, so in essence we have 26 weeks of vacation a year and are still considered full time. plus we have about 9 holidays we get paid for.
Life is good at times.

(Can't you tell my favourite movie is "7 Brides for 7 Brothers"!).

Happy Spring season Fools. It really is Spring on our little Island. Drove the length of it yesterday (not a long journey!) and we are having the most glorious weekend. All the daffs are out now, temperatures are cool, but at least we can turn off the central heating and open all the doors. How lovely to get fresh air at last! The cats are loving it - walking out the back door, round the house, in the front door, and off again. I've spring cleaned the house and I'm ready for Easter folks! Ain't life grand?

I don't get paid vacation since I work PRN. DH gets 4 weeks and can buy a 5th.

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

Hi Donna,

I could be wrong, but I think they are doing "The Story of Walt Disney" for the 50th in this theatre.

Barbara

Well I have found out that they are in fact not planning on showing the Mr. Lincoln show, but a different one geared towards DL in that theater.

THANKS VAL!!!!!!!

Just a quick note to tell you that I have updated my map with several more cruisers, and a few changes to the format and resolution. Also, for our friends over in Europe, I made a map that also includes the UK.

I did a little bit of distance querying about our route, and here are the approximate distances we are traveling on this cruise:

Los Angeles to Cabo: 895 miles
Cabo to Acapulco: 1010 miles
Acapulco to Panama City: 1697 miles
Panama City to Colon: 50 miles
Colon to Willemstad: 790 miles
Willemstad to Castaway: 1267 miles
Castaway Cay to PC: 295 miles
------------------------------------
Total distance 6004 miles
(statute miles, not nautical miles)

Thanks Lisa! I thought it was Jazz and Denise's dd who saw "Wicked" four times, but it was you! Lucky girl! Yes, all the seats in the Pantages are good, so I should be happy. I was just hoping for better than we were able to get, but heh...we're going to see it! Thanks again!

I'm not sure about the Pantages theater but I just wanted to tell you that the gershwin in NYC (where it plays on broadway) is a pretty large theater and there honestly isn't a bad viewpoint for this play. I've sat in the absolute front row dead center, second row on the aisle, last row in mezzanine dead center and middle of the theater all the way to the right side (sold as obstructed view in this theater) and they all were fabulous vantage points. They definitely designed this musical to be beautiful from all angles and distances.
