Andy: Now I have to see the movie !! Never have, I wasn't sure what the animal was, thought it was a huge dog.



Jeff: For the planner, thanks for providing the links.

For those who are not following the other Double Dip threads both the May and June threads have contributed copies of their navigators to the DIS Board Mods. The June DD scanned theirs to PDF and the quality is much better than the ones posted from May.

Although the schedule will be very similar to ours there is always a chance for scheduling changes. Below are the June PDFs for your enjoyment.

Saturday (Sailaway)

Sunday (First Stop at CC)

Monday (Sea Day)

Tuesday (Costa Maya)

Wednesday (Cozumel - Pirate Night)

Thursday (Second Sea Day)

Friday (CC Double Dip Day)

Thanks so much for posting these. I could not read the May ones at all.

The cost of the flights means its best to make full use of the time in the USA so three weeks together makes sence.

REQUEST

Last year my children sent a few e-mails to pen friends going on the Panama Cruise, my daughter is 10 nearly 11, and my son 7 will be 8 at the end of the cruise. Either if there are any kids who were pen friends last time and going on this cruise again, or if there are any kids thoose ages who would like to write to my kids please PM me, they would like some freinds in the kids club before they go. I will try to get my son in the 8+ group DCL say that should be ok.

If interested please PM me. Your kids might find it interesting having a pen friend in London England with the Olpmics etc coming tous.

OK, so who is farther away from Port Canaveral, Florida: Andrew in England or Moira in Ireland? Just curious?

 

[Verandah Man]

By the looks of this map, I would have to say that Andrew is farther away. Moira lives in Cobh, Ireland and Andrew is in East London, England. Could be a toss up though.

I was looking thru the Navigators and I noticed that there are a some adult singles meets, which surprised me. I am truly a chicken when it comes to this stuff but would love to go and check it out. Anyone else want to go also? I'll go but afraid to go by myself.

Awwh shucks! I forgot about Andrew (sorry Andrew!) Yes, as you can plainly see from Andy's map, Andrew is further.. Sorry Jeff, I don't win that competition either...

ANDY, WE ARE ON THE MAP! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FOUND A MAP WITH US ON IT! Yes, there is Cobh, formally known as Queenstown, last stop for the Titanic before its demise! We have a lovely museum and an open door policy if ANYONE would like to come and visit us...

Are you supposed to answer your own question?

Congrats TINA.. You win...I was told today that we wont get ours for a bit since we added JACLYN.. but to have her with me is fine with me as long as I get them before we go.. She is so excited as well.. Elaine of course cant stop SHOPPING!!! the two of them need more luggage to go home with once they get to the ports and the ship!!!

Its amazing what twists and turns this thread takes

One minute were talking about socks and next minute it might be world geography.

One day its snowstorms and next what a heat wave.


And now we are less than 3 weeks away from sailing.


Onward to 10,000

Me we fly over Ireland to go to Florida!

For thoose who want to know I think its 4,600 Miles to Orlando, and if you look at Verandah Man's map, I live where the last N in the word LONDON is.

Are you supposed to answer your own question?

At first I was putting the question out for Moira or Andrew to answer, then I did a quick Google search and found the map that I posted above. I wasn't expecting to find such a good map that quick that had both cities showing on the map, LOL!!!

I've probably been around Hazel too long, she will always ask a question and then answers it before I have time to open my mouth, LOL!!!

 

[Ct_TiggerFan]

For thoose who want to know I think its 4,600 Miles to Orlando, and if you look at Verandah Man's map, I live where the N in the word LONDON is.

Andrew, would that be the first N or the second N in the word LONDON? I'll let you answer the question this time.

Its nice of you to take an interest, now I do not know if you know this but if you fly London to Orlando most people think straight acroos the Altantic, due to the roundness of the world, we go up to Ireland, towards Iceland touch the bottom of Greenland, then New foundland and down the east seaboard of USA New York etc, to Florida.

Only once have we gone south, Azores, Burmuda, Florida. Planes prefer the land route if there is a problem and the view is if one engine cut out how far the could fly on one, in an hour.

Also the flight time is nine hours to USA Olando but usaully seven back, as most winds come from USA to us.

However the only time we flew across the Altantic on the Azores route we made it in record time, that was just after 9/11 and I am not sure if it was good winds or we were told not to go along the eastern seaboard?

Should have made that clear the second (last) one is Essex.
