Thanks for the weather update....
Your favorite burger is five guys!?!? Lol
Have you been to Cali and tried IN-N-OUT yet, if not you must next time you are in town. If fact it will be my treat if you are ever in the Disneyland area..

As this is my 22nd visit (Anja's 16th) to the States and as we have visited 25 states so far we have of course had In-n-Out burgers and liked them very much. So we'd love to take you up on your kind offer.
What we like with Five Guys is that you can customize your burger, I always have mine with their hot suace and Jalapeños, and the cajun fries are sooooo yummy.
Yesterday we encountered the Coca Cola Freestyle at Five Guys for the very first time. That's an amazing device!!

We plan to be in CA next year in fall, but will probably not hit the Disneyland area. Our preliminary plan is to fly into SFO and then go north from there to see Oregon and Washington and then turn east to visit Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. We'd either fly back from Vegas or return to SFO to fly back from there.
It depends on the flighs we'll get from Lufthansa. I already have a sufficient number of bonus-miles to get a transatlantic flight for free and Anja will have the required 60,000miles by spring '14. Sometimes they have special offers for the free flights and some flights are restricted. We got to wait to see what they offer next year.
I'm especially keen on doing the nonstop to SFO as they're using the Airbus A380 for it and I haven't flown in that one yet.

Thank you, but it's the 11th so we'll be on the cruse

Safe travels everyone!! See you all tomorrow!!

We repacked everything, put the DCL luggage tags on our 'checked' luggage and asked to be the first to have our breakfast served tomorrow. Our plan is to hit the road not later than 9am, preferrably a tad earlier. According to Google Maps the trip will take three hours. We intend to stop for a drink at the Dreams Unlimited Welcome Center at Cape Canaveral at 12p sharp, return our car across the street and then take the shuttle from Enterprise to Port.

I just used the words 'Cape Canaveral', 'Shuttle' and 'Enterprise' in one sentence to describe our travel plans - now I'm no longer sure whether we're just cruising or doing something else

Lea,
I don't have enough posts to PM you. We would really like to join the trip on St Maarten. We have a family of four, in 9130 and 6562. Is it possible to join in at this point? Or will you keep us in mind if you have cancellations? Thanks!

Hello!

Sure, not too late..

Just need to know asap which itinerary you want:

1. Orient Beach, Maho Beach then Marigot

or

2. Gailon Beach, Maho Beach, then back to the ship

You can swap buses at Maho Beach if you want to do one part before Maho and a different part after Maho...ie Orient Beach, Maho, then back to ship or Gailon, Maho then Marigot...

Please let me know which choice and how many people for each choice...

Thanks!

Lea

Hi Lea,
Mickeyfan9194/timewilltell here. Sorry I did not respond to earlier posts. I've been internet- free for the last several days. You have us on the correct tour group, and there are just 2 of us, so all is good. Just wanted to confirm the info. Thanks again for putting it all together.

We got back a couple hours ago and so sad to leave the ship but glad to be home. Thank you everyone for the awesome gifts. Also thank you to Lee for setting up the road trip and to Tink for helping keep us all organized. We should share some of our photos.
