Do you all realize it is 201 days until our cruise......soon we will be under 200 days ......I think we started counting down at 500 days......

I never surfed that much at work Usually after being on hold for 10 mins for a support call - you can get pretty bored.

My workload - was pretty high - I handled over $ 3 Mill in premium (my co-worker - who complained more - handles around $ 2 Mill) , plus my computer duties....

This week it changed - I now handle only the VIP accounts - and the computer system

Looking good for a possible run to Niagra Falls in May I sent my boss the list of classes - he liked them - now wants the prices (Conference is $ 400 - the hotel about $ 100 a night). Keeping everything crossed that I get to go

Things to do in Barcelona...................

You know the #1 thing is SHOPPING!

Ok, got my flights booked yesterday!

Taking Zoom Airlines out of Toronto to Paris and used Aeroplan Miles for the flight back from Orlando to Toronto!

Heard from the Deviations Department and they had me booked on a flight from TO to Atlanta to Barcelona! Talk about taking the long way! Glad I'm doing Paris first!

Now to wait for that Train ......................

I'm thinking more likely towards the weekend. We'll need a few days to decompress after all the anticipation and then either joy or saddness depending on whether or not we book.

Either way....drink up me hearties, yo ho!

HAPPINESS! JOY!

Or the guys at work are gonna really hate me!

WOO HOO on the Niagara Falls option, Erica!!!! Keep us posted on when ... you know we'll be there to see you! (Hopefully not May 26 weekend ... my nephew's getting married that day; I'll be disowned if I miss it! )

Maybe another Maid of the Mist "cruise" ... or there's a really cool JetBoat Adventure we'd love to try!!!!

BTW ... I let myself get behind on this thread too! I guess I'm lucky there weren't more pages to catch up on than there were!

Back to planning THIS cruise after everyone tries for the PC Repo tomorrow. Good luck to all who are trying for it.

VAL ~ IMPRESSIVE list of things to see in Barcelona!!!!! How many days are you going to be there?

My Barcelona highlights list is more like Renee's and Janet's:

Sagrada Familia
Las Ramblas
SHOPPING (see Janet - like yours!)
Montserrat
maybe the Chocolate Museum

It looks like a lot to squeeze into less than two full days; since I make my own moulded chocolate at home, I can probably miss that. (Martin says I always plan to see/do too much!)

Lastly, I'm another Canadian on this thread. We've also always heard that the European "treatment" is better if they think you're Canadian, so if anyone would like some "Canada" stuff (luggage tags, etc) let me know. They're readily available at our Dollar stores here.

WHEW ... long post; hope I addressed everything I wanted to! (no post padding here! )

Parc de la Ciutadella/Arc de Triomf

Val,

That was on my original list, but I don't know if I'll be able to fit in. I hope so, so maybe I should put it back on. I need more time in Barcelona and Paris.

 

[DenverVal]

Renee, it's walking distance from the Chocolate museum. Haley's gonna need to work off all that sugar!

We're arriving in Barcelona on Tuesday morning, so we have four days precruise plus Saturday afternoon and all of Sunday. This is my wish list, I don't know if we'll have enough time to do all that. I decided early on to focus on one place and believe (*hope hope*) that I'll be able to go back sometime in the future and see the other places that I must see in my lifetime!

Well, I transferred my boking of this cruise to the PC EB Repo. I knew I wasn't going to be on this cruise for about a month or so now, but it is now official. Plans just didn't pan out as I had hoped. I hope you have an awesome trip! Sorry Todd!!!

AH HA! Goody Bags!!

On the 12/09 cruise, Lisa made Christmas stockings for the DIS geeks. Served the same purpose.

What would be good for Spain?
