Bound for Barcelona - April 10, 2010 EB TA - Part 4

[auntlynne]

Whoa! Now I'm confused. I just checked my reservation which was for a Cat.12 GTY originally and up-graded to a Cat.11. Now they are offering me a Cat.8 for $70 per person per day or $1960. I didn't want to cancel that but went to modify reservation right above cancel and I was offered a DELUXE STATEROOM WITH VERANDA for $50 per day per person or $1400. How can a veranda be less than a window Cat8? I know a lot of you out there swear by verandas but I'm not sure especially on the TA, Alaska maybe but TA? I don't think I'd be out there too often.

All that aside, what do you think is going on with the prices?

I decided to see what the $158 pp/d upgrade on the Med cruise would get me (besides a bigger credit card bill). I chose Modify to the Cat they were offering (OV), then saw Upgrade to Verandah for $48 pp/d - wow, no more OVs available, what a great deal. Then I looked at the top of the page where the price was - $8k - so it was $158 + $48 - the higher Cat wasn't cheaper than the lower, afterall.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to pop on to say that my Grandmother passed away last night after a very quick but peaceful few days in hospice care. Her family was around her, in her home.

Thanks you for all your prayers, well wishes and caring messages. It means a lot to me to be able to share this difficult situation with you.

I'm so sorry, sending hugs and prayers. I'm glad her last days were peaceful and that your family was able to be with her. I'm sure this brings you some comfort

Very Sorry for your loss and will continue to send prayers and virtual hugs your way for you and your family.

And I agree with Scott.....a HUGE THANKS to all behind the scenes folks who did all of the arranging, lists, lanyards, mini Navs and such....

My DS and I are being Philly tourists this weekend (I won a free weekend hotel stay)... franklin institute, penns landing and of course his MOMs old haunt.... South Street!

We're on Alaska at 8:45 direct to MCO.

That's Carla's flight! Now we REALLY have to get together before the cruise! I'll be meeting all of you at the airport, I guess...barring any flight delays, my flight gets in at 4:30, about 45 minutes before yours. I told Carla I'll meet her at the gate

Common Sense?
Somehow, I have a feeling I am going to get grief over this one!

Did you really say that out loud or was I just thinking you said that? Brave man!

Is that Friday the 9th? If so, Pam and I will each be arriving around that time and wandering aimlessly waiting for Monica to pick us up! Maybe I should be wearing DIS green on my travel day too!

Still to do on my list:

my taxes and our door magnetics .... quess which one I'm working on first!

Hmmmmm....same here...but those taxes MUST be done this weekend! For me...not telling you what to do

---Ironic! We are heading out to Lititz this weekend, as Greco's is opening their store (for the season) on Saturday. They are on Broad Street, across from Wilbur Chocolate, in the back/left side of the parking lot. Their Ephrata store will be opening in 3 weeks.

Make sure you stop by Tony Luke's (cheesesteaks) (www.TonyLukes.com), East Oregon Avenue ... near I-95 & I-76 ... minutes from Penns Landing.

Did you really say that out loud or was I just thinking you said that? Brave man!

---Well, no, not really out loud ... but I understand what you mean. Heck, somebody has to speak their mind ... looks like I've been that delegate all along!

Anyway, I will be hanging out (hiding) in Outlook Bar, behind the bullet proof glass. I think Terry is supposed to join me in "judging" the Cougars, since we overlook Quiet Cove. I'm making plenty of score cards with "10" on them. Feel free to join us!

I went to my reservation the other night and didn't see any upgrade offer. It did say that I couldn't modify my reservation. Is that because I used a TA?

I received a call a few minutes ago that my cousin David (who has been battling cancer for a few years) has been admitted to Yale. Apparently, it has spread quite badly and they aren't even moving him to Hospice care at this point. My heart is breaking for him and his family. He is only 42 years old and has 4 young sons under the age of 8. They are not very optimistic that he will pull through. It is just so sad.

You're not hiding if you tell us where you'll be.

The one time I let a man do the packing, our son was 2 and still in diapers. Guess what Mr. Common Sense forgot to bring?
