July 28, 2007 - "Rome-ancing the Mouse Cruisers" -11 days! Part 2

[MrsJobba1]

We are also flying the day we sail (I'm alittle nervous!) I'm a "Jo" too....any others??? So far there's been a fair amount of "Lisa"s but only one Helen!

I'm not sure if that is a compliment or not?

What are redsox? I'm guessing baseball, basketball, football?

Baseball

Be sure to read the first page, post 10. Andrew put up alot of information for our cruise there and what everyone's schedule is. Somewhere I was keeping tabs of when everyone was arriving, but I guess I lost track of it.
Wish this board has a way for me to view just my posts, I could go back and find it. But this board doesn't seem to have that option.

Also, watch out for the pirates. They happen when you hit a #00 post. The post # is located in the upper right hand corner. So the next pirate is at 3900. A biggie pirate would be 4000.

I'm not sure if that is a compliment or not?

Of course, Helen!

 

[MrsJobba1]

Of course, Helen!

Thanks

Have you had a better day @ school?

Don't work too hard

Ok, I finally figured out, thanks to Helen, how to read the 4Gats menu. Wow! fancy food, or as my DH would say 'cruise boat food'.

So are we thinking of doing dinner, then onward to the fountain? Or would it be considered too early for dinner in Barcelona?

 

[kyla]

Did anyone notice that on the Online Checkin that BCN - Barcelona is an airport now?
Now just waiting for London Heathrow to show up as an airport.

Andrew: What in the world are you talking about?



Tell you the truth - I don't even know who our moderater is. Is it Lisa? We've been good - lots of teachers around to keep us in check!

(Course there are those that say they are the worst. )

People ask that all the time

Andrew,

Good news about your doctor visit!
We've been worried about you.

Maryann

Thanks

Hi

Hi Everyone,

Have not been on since yesterday.

Want to give a big welcome to Julie - we also wanted to do a beach excursion on our own in Sardegna. I kept reading how unreliable taxis were in picking people back up and was afraid to do this. After some searching, a Gabriel on a Sardegna website linked me to a cab/bus/limo company. I had emailed them and never received a reply. For now we are booked for the La Cinta beach. Looking forward to some reports if anyone attempted to do a beach here on their own and take it from there.

Sallie, glad to see you back on. We were all thinking of you. Congratulations on the new kittens coming. Picking out a name - can't decide I like them all

Kyla - You should receive my check today (for me and Disneymagic316). I think I mailed it out Tuesday am.

Glad Andrew had good results from his check-up.

See you guys later

Thanks

So excited we only booked two days ago, didn't think we would make it,there are 7 in our party and it was difficult to get a date that suited everyone.
Let me introduce everyone
me - Jo ,4th Disney cruise, 18th cruise in total
husband - Brian , same cruise history as me
my niece - Maria , 2nd Disney cruise
her husband - Richard ,2nd Disney cruise
daughters - Harriet , Phoebe,Hermione ,2nd Disney cruise

My husband and I are from the north of England, my niece and her family are fron Cambridgeshire, we will be flying from three airports to meet up in Barcelona to board the ship.

Have not read through all the posts yet but sure I'll find the answer to all my questions.

Welcome more brits

Also, watch out for the pirates. They happen when you hit a #00 post. The post # is located in the upper right hand corner. So the next pirate is at 3900. A biggie pirate would be 4000.

Soon

I noticed that on Bristish Air that they are not allowing seat assignments until 24 hours prior to your flight. Is that the same for everyone or is that just me because I'm using miles for my seats?

I ended up getting seats anyway last year when I first booked the flight. That was prior to BA updating their site which now doesn't allow seat booking. I called BA and they said I was lucky, but not sure if that means I get to keep the seats or not.

Has anyone the computer skills to make us up a signature banner, like the Repo Pirates one Ihave below for 2008.

Depends on flights I am going with BA in July and have my seat numbers reserved since September 2006. Try the website mange my options.

I am certainly up for this! Dave and I wanted to do this restauarnt anyway.

I think they open @ 8pm - whilst it might be slightly early for most of barcelona I think it will be good as -We should be able to get a seat. Although I would be willing to organise a reservation -if you want. I will need to know details of how many would be coming.

Although we could do it the other way round as well - meet @ the fountain and then go for a late meal there. I am open to both - Let me know and I can certainly try and help organise!

I have my BA Seat numbers too!

 

[MrsJobba1]

Andrew - are you all packed for your holiday? Are you the packer or is your better half?

I have to say I dont let Dave anywhere near the cases -

Well except to carry them

That blog idea is so cool, I've been reading the Davidson's blog.....how do you do it??

I went to blogger.com (aka blogspot.com). I already had a gmail account, so it was really easy for me to set it up. Then I just walked through their wizard and played with it. Mine is pretty basic right now as I haven't had any real time to devote to it. But if you want to check it out:

OMG, just finished watching the season finale of Lost, OMG

Somewhere I read that Lost was ending, I'm guessing that isn't true. I lost my interest after season one. We had too many things going on, and fell too far behind. I just don't really get into tv shows, so if I miss something I don't care.

I sent mine out - the pony express takes awhile from Montana

My mom lives just north of Missoula. She says never pay for overnight or 2-day. You have to always add an extra day.

I just can't keep up anymore. I'm trial secretary for a major dog show coming up in June and spend my nites posting entries, catching these season finales and planning for the med trip. Already feeling guilty about leaving my dogs. I have a new pup and she seems to be very attached to me, not sure how she will do when we leave.

Do we have any pics of this new pup? Or a name?

The one thing I do not do is pack, I am not good at it, everything would be creased up, kids are packing their bags now. I think they are taking everything.

Looked at the Disney magic tracking map shes in the Med making her way up to Barcelona now, arrives Friday, I will fly over her on Saturday morning, hope for a window seat to look at her, that would be cool.
