Welcome to Tony and Jen.

JenKatt amazing that you've received your documents already.

Arlene -- I feel your pain about work. I'm hoping it just flys by and I was so thankful when the day ended today. I usually like my job but the last month has just been awful. Yesterday got yelled at by the corporate lawyer -- the only problem is that yup I made a mistake but did he have to tell me 10 times??? I got it the first time. The real kicker is that I only took the client's phone call because he wasn't around. Not doing that again. He's now not really talking to me which is a good thing although he's in the office next door. I'm really hoping that next week will be better although I know that he's going to start bugging about billings. It's not even December and already I'm stressed about "cash in". We don't have to have a set number of billable hours our targets are all money oriented. A real drag. Ok I'm now obsessing and it's the weekend and one day closer to the cruise.

Oct 8th can't come sooner enough.

Welcome Tony and Jen. Glad that you could join us and we will be looking forward to seeing you onboard. Mike
 
WELCOME TONY AND JEN

Congratulations to JenKat on getting your documents.

Look out UPS, your drivers are going to start to be stalked by the Cruisetoberfester II cruisers.

I am so glad the week if over. Plus it is a long weekend. Only 6 more to go.

Mary--- Where are the bouncing balls. Enjoy the race on Sunday. I will look for you in the crowd. Didn't it rain last year?

Nancy
 

Hi Nancy, I tried to do the :bounce: guys but there is now a restriction on the numer you can have in one post.

Maybe this will work...


6 WEEKS TO GO!!!!!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:


Yes it did rain last year, but the race was only delayed for about 2 hours. Then the rain stopped and we had a beautiful day. No rain in the forcast this year.:cool:

WWWAAAAAAA...I want my docs!

JenKatt..congrats on being the first one to get them!
 
Welcome Tony & Jen!

Ave,

I can volunteer to be a host/hostess at the Palo Brunch for our table if that works out. We should arrive at the Radisson around 4:30 pm on Friday and are planning on getting to the port around 10:30 am the next morning either by available shuttle or taxi as we want to make sure we get spa reservations on sea days and a couple of other Palo reservations. We have 4 people that can split up to make reservations. If this helps let me know.

Has anyone rented a car from Budget before or have any suggestions??? We are picking up a car after the cruise and had
Avis booked but Budget is much less expensive on the size we need and is now closer to the port than Avis. I think Budget is in the terminal so we don't have to do another shuttle when we drop the car on Sunday.

Just wondering, how many of this group would be going to the Castaway Club Reception or DVC Reception on the ship? (If they still do these?) It will be great to see some familiar faces at those!!!

It is beautiful here in Minnesota but dry. I am stressed with work but my mind wants to wander with visions of the cruise. My office is set up in one part of our home so I never get away from
work. It is the busiest time of year for us next week as we work in new home construction waste management and it is booming here in Minnesota. We are having a commercial shot at our home next week and now we are told we have to turn off all phones while they do the video portion. Not good. On top of that we are having a mulit-family garage sale at our house on 09/13. (money for the cruise/spa).

Have a wonderful Labor day weekend to all.

Hi Everyone!! We sure are quiet on a holiday weekend. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Where oh where are my documents??:p

I feel so sorry for the fed ex or ups person!! :bounce:

Which way do they normally come??

BTW, Mary Jo........my girls wore those pins today going to the store. They wanted to wear all of them! They think they are so cool!! Thanks again.

Hope
 
Nancy aka Baordwalk for me--- We are both Castaway Cay club members and DVC members, so we plan to be at those receptions.

There should be quite a few of us Castaway Cay club members. Wonder if the gift is still the beach towels?

Mary--- Thanks for the bouncing balls. I guess you were within the limit. I'm jealous you got tagged, get to go to a NASCAR and have a nice weekend. We are having rain. So stop whinning.

Where is Tulirose, @Goofynut, and Sarah's Mom? They have hardly posted lately.

Thanks

We are planning on being at both the DVC and the CC receptions. We are crusing on points for this vacation!! I can't wait!

I called today to check on a few things and our docs haven't been processed yet. :(

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody, that was sure nice.

Two quick questions sprouted up -- Why do the the documents turn up via UPS? Is this a package of some sort? If so, I'm dying to ask what it contains, and also want to just wait and see (I'm more of a wait and be surprised kinda guy).

Second -- Regarding the rental cars - I know a couple of the agencies have shuttles that go TO the port - but I'm assuming they'll also take you FROM the port back to the rental car place if you desire?

We're spending the night before and the night after at CBR, as well as visiting with some of my family that lives there. I was thinking a rental car is definitely the way to go since it comes out somewhat more economical -- provided there IS a way to get back there from port.

Oh boy - six weeks from tonight! :cool:
 
Can't help ya with the rental car question, but the documents are kind of a small package. It contains your documents for the cruise in a travel agency type booklet. You also have the booklets describing the ship and facilities and the cruise itself. Then there's the buy me booklet (packages that can be delivered to the room) and a few more odds and ends. It all comes in a handy carry case.

Sorry if there are spelling errors, we just came back from Kahunaville, if any of you have one near you, it's a must do. The one here in Tampa is a blast!


Plus the margaritas are to die for...
 
HEY TONY!!!! Welcome to Cruisetoberfest II from Long Island, NY!!

Boardwalk4me and Tony - Don't know much about the car rental shuttles but have rented Budget in Florida (and recent Omaha trip) with no problems at all. In Florida, they are right at airport and dropoff was a breeze.

JenKat - Sole holder of Cruise Docs - you just made me realize that I have NEVER had a margarita.. it just always seemed a little weird to me to have a drink with salt. I think, however, I will have to change that for the Key West visit. !!

Nancy - PADisneyFan - Thanks for missing me. Alive and well and busy.

Arlene - Whaddya think, should we try for another mini-meet and meet up with TonyG and the two other couples? Time is a factor, however, would have to check calendars....

!!!!!
SECOND AND LAST International Cruisetoberfest Chat:
Saturday, September 6th, 10 a.m. EDT / 4 p.m. CET (MEST)
 
If you want words of wisdom you will have to watch Dr. Phil, Rosemary:)
I am just a poor old country boy.

We printed out our logo's today and now we will have to get our tee shirts to put them on. Mike
 
I don't do salt on my amrgaritas. I hate the taste of salt for the most part, so I either ask for it plain or with sugar... you can do that, I promise :cool:
 
Gosh, we are getting excited and broke getting suited up right, we hope. Documents aren't here yet but waiting with hopelea and family. Time has flown. Will try to catch the international next saturday sometime. So looking forward to meeting all you guys.:Pinkbounc What are the 2 meeting (maybe reunions) that some of you are talking about, can new people get in them too?
:confused: We will be at the Friday night get to gather and try to get to all group things. Sounds like lots of fun. Tiiigermom2 and dh
