OK let's see if I can remember all these:
I found that for me the secret to success in poker is to play on a weekend, with a bunch of beginners who are drunk.
On a related note, I'm still wrestling with the Monte Carlo excursions. Right now I'm planning on taking the day tour of Monte Carlo that includes a visit to the casino. A few people in my group are planning on the evening visit. I wonder if anyone has thoughts on the matter?
Your funny AND SMART!
As to the gambling - DH and I decided that we need time away from DD-14. She's on every excursion with us and since we already have to dress up (I believe that is either semi-formal but may be pirate - have to double check) - figured might as well be off. I also figure that you can't be that close to such a famous location and NOT go. For us - that would be sacriligious! I must admit - we do like to go to Vegas and I especially love it when DH wins. Although this time, New Years was especially kind to both of us - that is how we paid for so many deposits!
Have I mad another pirate yet??? Oh I didn't realise
Helen - your too funny - and yet - somehow I get the blame. But you did as a true pirate - took what you could and since no one was around - good for you!
i chose the evening casino because i thought it would be nice to dress up and hang out with the high rollers.
My sentiments exactly. As adults, we don't get to dress up too much and since everyone on board will have seen my 1 dressy dress twice already - figured I'll "expand my horizons" and allow others to see it.
Just kidding - I know we'll be tired but
(OK - I'm going to say this hope the
isn't the fly on the wall.) sometimes I get too tired of
and just need a break. My smile won't work 24/7.
Sallie,
(And you should hear what they've been been saying about you flashing and all- and in church no less - tee hee
)
In all fairness,
, I just quoted what she said - she actually mentioned it first (Sallie - you know we
you - seriously hope your kitty is ok
and
ixiedust: to you and yours)
I saw previously the instructions on posting pictures. And it included creating an account somewhere.
But I am wondering, does anyone know if there are rules that apply to posting a picture?
Do you have to have a minimum number of posts?
Not 100% sure on that but I seem to recall that
1. You have to create an acct elsewhere or download to the picture location on DIS and
2. I thought you had to wait until a certain amt of posts. Not positive since its been a while and I did lose my first account due to my slipping mind.
Time
And she joins in the fun!
You guys seem to know when one is coming up and swarm in like killer bees
Yeah - amazing how that happens huh? I always forget to check on the post numbers when I sign on - so any
I get or will get is purely coincidental unless I happen to see the
run in progress.
So how many suitcases is everyone bringing? DH says we should just bring one
. I'm thinking two for sure. I'll try really hard for one
Unfortunately,
we're flying British Airways and their regulations are: 1 checked baggage <40 lbs. and 1 Carryon (with size restrictions - lost them somewhere) <13 lbs. Anything over the # restrictions on check-in is an additional $25 for the first 20 and $110 for a 2nd suitcase. Not sure on what the carry-on would be. As you say - I'm trying really hard too.
i'm checking 2 suitcases and bringing 1 carryon suitcase and 1 carryon rolling tote. i plan on dividing my clothes up per day just in case something happens to one suitcase.
Yeah - have to go shopping - am really trying to do what Rick Steve's says - if you can't use it 3 times -drop it. I;m mixing and matching everything - hence the 1 semi/formal dress. Figured I can dress it up with accessories.
i'm trying not to think of someone stealing my luggage.
i will have my outfits for friday and saturday in my carry on bag.
I have seen some photos of rooms broken into on expedia and travelocity when I was doing research. Travelers came back to a room and in 1 case - the whole room safe was taken - yanked right off the wall!
This scared me - what if they take my laptop - that's our life and company. Seriously considering not taking it but we'll be gone for 20 days and that's too long to be gone w/o one. So the hotel we got has a room safe and a safety deposit box in the hotel lobby. Figured between the 2 it may be safe.
Ok - that's if for now - DH is getting grouchy - must feed him since he bought last night!
all!
SORRY everybody - next time I promise not too quote so much - this is hard.
I kind of don't want to leave my luggage anywhere.
