I am going to try two medications that he has prescribed, it most likely is tension headaches re stress but BP has an input as well, but he clearly said NOTHING to worry about.

Hotels

So which hotels are everyone staying @?

We are at the Hotel Cram pre and AC Barcelona after!

We will be staying at Grand Marina if this is where you decide to meet the night before the cruise...let us know!!

We are staying at the AC Barcelona the night before the cruise. I'm a bit worried about how the jetlag will affect me. DH and sleep through anything but I've never been able to sleep on a plane.
Sandra

i'm staying that the hesperia presidente. i think it is downtown somewhere. i'm planning on buying a couple of bottles for friday and saturday and just drink the ship's water from deck 9.

Okay, I just heard back from my TA. We were able to get Hilton-Diagonal-Mar-Barcelona. We have 4 rooms......anyone else here? We have 2 nights July 26 and July 27.!

Hi all, checking in.
The plan to meet at the Grand Marina and then onto the Fountain sounds good. We are staying at the Grand Marina so that is convenient!

I wanted a place with room for all 4 of us, in one room. So we are at the Husa Lilla. Not sure where it is in comparison to the others, or the fountain. But I will see what we can do.

We are staying in what is supposed to be 2 triple rooms in Royal Ramblas which if I remember correctly is at the top of Las Ramblas and close to EL Cortes Ingles. I'm sure I'll have to discover where this store is and shop there. Does anyone now if we can bring food onto the Magic from the local stores?

We are staying at the Hesperia Presidente. DCL hotel, but we booked it ourselves. Since there are 5 of us, I needed to make sure that we could fit into 2 rooms - those European hotel rooms sure are tiny!! I didn't mind getting 2 rooms, but several hotels wanted us to get 3 - no way!!

Helen,
We're staying at the Gran Via Hotel. It seems it was once a small palace??? Anyway, it seems central to the sights and it's easily accessed by metro.

Hi Helen,
Checking in.
The plan to meet at the Grand Marina and then onto the Fountain sounds good for us too. We are staying at the Grand Marina the night of the 27th, arrive into BCN that morning!

Mine is Hotel Crystal Palace, just of La Rambler. For the week preceding the cruise. Family suite.

AC Barcelona, one night before.

Here are our pre- cruise plans:
Paris- one night Hotel Lutetia(26th) ( TA booked it)
Barcelona one night- Hotel Hesperia Presidente
Post- one night Hotel Husa Illa (27th)

Anyone else want to share ... let me know if I've missed you out! I'm so tired at the moment

Yes i am very pleased, in most ways the scans are clear, no issues there, but more tablets to go on hopfully short term and over in six weeks, could well be tension so the holiday will help.

Thank you for your good wishes,

Sallie not due to chewing my ears, I really look forward to meeting you and your familiy on our trips, they are going to be great.


Did you see your pirate name on the first page!!!

HI Everyone,
Thank you so much for the well wishes and all the PMs that were sent. How amazing is it ,that total strangers, some thousands of miles away, can actually make a person feel such empathy and compassion when so sad. As I wrote to some of you privately, I feel so blessed to have found this thread, firstly because I know I will be so much better prepared for this trip with all the prior knowledge and brainstorming that goes on here. And, secondly, because I have found such wonderful friends in what I consider a magical way- through invisible satellite waves that magically and instantly answer questions, provide help and can give a hug without even physically being there. I hope you understand what all these ramblings of mine are trying to say. So, again, I thank you all.
We had to put Chloe down Monday night. Suffice it to say, it was one of the more difficult times in my life. Of course I do put this into perspective, wars, soldiers dying, sick children, etc., but loosing a pet after 15 years is very heart breaking.
As I mentioned, I do have her sister, they were siamese twins who I am now very concerned with. We are paying as much attention to her as possible, and keeping her busy so she dosent continually roam the house looking for her sister, and become depressed,which tehy are very prone to do. So, far, she has not been meowing that much, and only seems to roam at bedtime.
I called their breeder, and thank goodness, she is still breeding traditional l siamese cats. She has since moved to Virginia, but through the magic of the internet,again) I was able to track her down.
She has a litter of kittens they are just ready to be sold. So, we are getting 2 more sometime next week. I just cannot let Cleo stay alone during the day while we are working, so I hope she bonds with them as soon as possible. I am feeling better today, I finally turned my computer on and tried reading pages of posts, although I know I missed a few.
Here are our pre- cruise plans:
Paris- one night Hotel Lutetia(26th) ( TA booked it)
Barcelona one night- Hotel Hesperia Presidente
Post- one niht Hotel Husa Illa (27th)[

I posted the fountain thing a couple of weeks when I saw it on the other thread, soooo glad you re arranging that Helen- thanks

O-K- I am going to start dinner, I've been very couch potato like the past few days, and I will then read on to see if I need to respond to anything else...
Oh yes... I didn't forget....there is the matter of responding to the many posts about my flashing..... next time

Salliep,
Just wanted to let you know we're thinking of you. I'm glad to see you back on the boards.

Okay guys, here is one of my repeated posts......below is the Webcam from a block from our beach house. The weather on the East Coast of the USA is supposed to be splendid. Mark this site as a favorite and watch the beach fill up so you can not even walk on it.........I bet today it will be beautiful.

To my friends in England....just before lunch time your time, you can watch the sunrise.....so cool!!!

Jeez, Andrew -- let me introduce myself instead of having you jump in with the "She's got a strong personality" bit! Really, it's just to pull him down a few notches. But yes, my girls (who will be 15, 12, and 10 at sailing) and I were booked on the Aug. 8 Med cruise since the day they were released and just jumped ship (so to speak) to your cruise. Our TA pointed out that we could take the cat 12 GTY on yours PLUS the Aug. 18 repo for less than what I had already paid for the Aug.8 cruise (which so far has not been discounted). So that's what we did, and we will go to Paris and Disneyland Paris between getting off this cruise Aug. 8 and getting back on for the transatlantic Aug. 18. I look forward to meeting all of you.

Hi Julie.
