Hi Calypso,

Sorry .... we will be in Scotland from June 28th till July 12th .

Driving a hired car & doing family history.

....................


Hayfield Manor ....... a good choice ..... Small old manor house .... but now a first class hotel.


TIP ........... Walk out the gate & turn Left . .... Within 200ft cross the road ... AND walk

through the gardens , quadrangle of UCC ... University Collage Cork ..... Look at the Boole Building

( George Boole was the great mathematician whose ideas formed the idea of Computers . )

A peaceful relaxing area to stroll around after a long day.

Glad to hear Hayfield Manor was a good choice. I'm really looking forward to our stays and Hawk Walks at Ashford Castle and Dromoland Castle!

Thanks for the tip. I will put that in my notes.

Ah well, too bad our schedules didn't conflict. Scotland though, how fun! I love Scotland. Have fun!

Hi everyone!! The wife and I will be on the inaugural July 7 members cruise. We are spending about 5 days in Budapest prior to the cruise.

This is a bucket list trip for us, as I am 4th gen Hungarian, and have wanted to go for quite some time now. The wife and I said for years if a Disney trip ever came around for Hungary we would be there! Well we are there!!!

Can't wait looking forward to meeting those on the same sailing.

Just got a box of goodies from ABD!!!!

Hi The husband and I are on the same cruise with you. We are spending a week in Ireland prior to the cruise and then arriving the day before in Budapest. This will be a 20th wedding anniversary trip for us. We got our box too! Looking forward to meeting you both in person.

 

[Skelling]

We have to say, we are a little jealous about your Ireland trip, would like to hear a little about it if we get to hang out a little on the boat, as its on our list as well!

This is our 10th Anniversary

We are also on your cruise. My husband's grandfather was born in Hungary, so we too have been waiting for an opportunity to travel there. We are only coming in the day before the cruise, but are trying to see as many things as possible!

I'll be happy to share the details on our Ireland trip if we get a chance to hang out. We are pretty easy to spot so please come say Hi if you see us. I'm short, pale skin with red hair, the hubby is Vietnamese with long hair. That is, unless he cuts his hair before the trip for his yearly donation to Locks of Love.

So I called ABD to put in a couple of requests, and while I was on the phone, I asked the Vacationista how many folks were on the July 21st cruise.

Here's the current breakdown:
Adults: 108
13-17 yo: 14
Under 12: 10 (youngest is 6 yo)

So mostly adults, with a few children.

I also asked if they knew which Guides we'd have, and was given this list (I'm guessing about some of the spellings):

Jennae, Birte, Henriette, Katarina, Veronica, Stephanie, Dean & Daniel.

I've only heard of Jennae, Stephanie & Dean, and haven't traveled with any of them. Very much looking forward to getting to know so many new guides, and finally getting to meet Jennae!

Sayhello

I (we) had Stephanie on our Germany trip.

I had an email from ABD requesting some updated emergency contact info so I figured I'd ask about our sailing as well which is the DVC one on July 7th.

Here is our break down
18 years and older: 107
Ages 13 - 17: 8
Under 12: 10

We have Zoe and Hanneke (YAY!!!!), Daniel, Danny, Jennae, Katrina, Henrietta and they weren't sure who the 8th one was.

I can't wait to see Hanni and Zoe again! I am looking forward to meeting the rest as well.

Thanks for posting the numbers- my girls were wondering how many teens and tweens were on the cruise.

Does anyone know the breakdown of teens on the August 4th sailing?

Here is mine. A document holder (would prefer an iPad case though), luggage straps, bag for laundry or other items, back pack (really nice!), luggage tags, a booklet from Ama Waterways on the Danube and our Adventure guidebook.
