AND????????????????????????????????

 

[mmouse37]

Ahhhhh.....the suspense.....Ok, now give it up!!!!!

 

[kmiles]

No, no, no.

Not from me! I thought Tracy and Mark had some sort of announcement!

I think Nancy is in on it too.

 

[Perdita&Pongo]

No, no, no.

I think Nancy is in on it too.

The thing I am "in" on (but know nothing about, grrrr) is going down Early (to quote Tracy) next week.

Whatever Tracy and Mark have going is something altogether different, I think.

Just as a hypothetical, if DCL were to charge us for corkage at the wine tasting party would you want to:

a. Try to have the party near DL on Friday
b. Have the party at the port on Saturday morning
c. Have the party as planned and pay the $15 + gratuity per bottle charge
d. Have an informal party on deck and figure a way to get the bottles open if our corkscrews get confiscated

Again, this is just a hypothetical right now.

d. Have an informal party on deck and figure a way to get the bottles open if our corkscrews get confiscated


I am always up for trying to be sneaky! Besides I can buy a lot of corkscrews for $15.00

Hi all
not to change the subject but I am totally confused on the pin and lanyard payment. Are we sending payment to 2 separate people if so I got the e mail for the lanyard payment. Who do we send the pin payment to so I can get it out in the mail or if possible paypal?

Also Tracy thanks for the hard work on the wine tasting. No problem here paying the corkage fee I don't drink also but am looking forward to meeting everyone. What ever you decide is great with me. Again Thanks!!!!

I'm going to place this info in The Rolodex too. Just so we have it all in one place.

Marsha is in charge of the SOF Lanyards. She is the one who sent out the PMs with the shipping and payment information.

The money for the pins/medallions is going to someone else.

So, in short, two different people.

 

[carolsherman]

thank you

Hi Everyone,

Did anyone ever figure out the details about the shuttle from Budget to the port? I'm thinking that would be the best option for my crew.

Also, my DH was looking at the internet info from the newsletter. He was wondering if anyone has tried to bring a router. That way more than one person could use the connection at one time?

And thanks everyone for the great responses to my mom, NanaKaty.

We always had announcements at either 10am or 2pm when I worked at the phone company in Virginia. Somehow I doubt that this announcement will be like those!

I think spring is coming to NH. The peepers are out in force, it's a lovely sound.

Hi Everyone,

If you're talking about Budget Rental in Long Beach there is NO shuttle. I got differing reports re this but have since called the agency IN Long Beach and a cab is really the only way. Its a short ride, and I'm going to drop my crew off at the port, go and get rid of the van, and take a cab back to the port.

Cheers,
Grumbo

 

[3kidmom]

Thanks, Grumbo.

I think I'll go with that also. So Budget in Long Beach is closest?

Look what happens when chat is down and I go to the grocery store!!!

There is No Announcement!!

While chat was working Mark and I spoke about the hypothetical (which would be proposed to the Westbound Cruise as well, if it is a reality, which we still don't know). He wanted to post something. I said to wait until I checked into things, by noon today.

Nancy and I had a PM where she asked way to many questions about something else. Which has nothing to do with most of you Her question was when is it going to happen, early next week or late next week. Answer Early. I added for fun (and to get her mind going) "and it's not for you". Nancy, actually you will know by Monday.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming. Unless anyone wants to come over and help us spread mulch in the gardens! 12 yards just delivered!!

I thought I was here for some great news, Darn

 

[Grumbo]

Yep.. NOT the Long Beach Airport site though.
I know Dan is also dumping his vehicle there, plus another one of our crew that is going to go to San Francisco before the cruise.
