Zoesmom any luck with your friend yet?

zoesmama · Jan 30, 2006

hey mm lover...thanks for asking, but no and I'm afraid that by the time it clears she may not be able to get airfare. We have fewer flights in and out of here these days. We used to have over 150 flights a day and now it's half or so. Of course that is Mardi Gras weekend so maybe they add flights when they think it may be busy.

We are escaping Mardi Gras madness, but will enjoy a few parades the day or so before we leave. My husband is staying to work and play. He wants to see what it will be like this year. I was around in the 70s when the police had a strike and they moved Mardi Gras completely to the suburbs. That was interesting. I remember KISS was a guest talent in one of the parades.

Way back when...

Less than a month to go :cool1:

Ordered dd a pirate costume pirate:

for the party.

We got our kids pirate costumes the day b4 halloween when our costume store had everything on sale. I guess they were not very popular costumes this year for kids, lots of cute ones.

Got my cabin assignment today ...cat 9 room 2514 (deck 2) :woohoo:

Looks to be in a much quieter spot than below the ship's night club !.... so that's a relief :cloud9:

I think I might do a post later on the dis board to see if I can find out any more about this cabin.....this may not be a good idea....sometimes its better to go without any preconceptions ... :magnify:

What do you think ?

mm lover in Ia · Feb 6, 2006

It is getting closer and I am starting to have a hard time keeping my kids attention on what has to be done first (ie; school).

jdybnsn · Feb 7, 2006

Yay

Documents came today (should have been yesterday but UPS couldn't find me as they were addressed to my partner :headache:

)

So glad we have them now..and not after we had left the UK (next Thurs :cheer2:

)
