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

[jlawall]

Seeing all the problems the DCL shore trips have had makes me feel so pleased we are doing our own with local experts.

I hope everything gets worked out by our trip!!!

Good Morning Andrew and Everyone else

Will try and catch up, today, but tomorrrow I leave for a week in the New Forest with my year 6 pupils no internet access so I guess I'll come back to a great deal of catching up, next weekend I'm away in Devon meeting up with our best man of 17 years ago and the following weekend I'm in Gloucester as it is Keith's Birthday so I'm not going to be around much in the next couple of weeks.

Have fun Play nice and I'll see you all on my return

Miss you!!! By the time you're back........I'LL BE DONE SCHOOL.....wwhhoooppiiieee....

Don't get me wrong, I love my class....it's just time for them to move on!!!

 

[jlawall]

Yes, from the very first I especially worried about the new learning curve for Disney which should be expected within reason. I also feared the big buses, and long lines, as well as the fact that cars can get to places buses cant. I never though about the lack of public bathrooms as Ive been reading about though
An important note for those on the public tours... I read that you should get to the bus quickly because apparently there are some seats that have blocked views!!! It really does take a lot to upset me, but if Im on a bus for over 90 minutes- I would definitely want to see the country side as we go!
So everyone... get back to the buses first!!!

Good tip about long bus trips!!

 

[jlawall]

Sallie, you are too kind. Thank you

I have not been this heavy though since my dd's birth - I am just not used to it.

I know exactly how you feel right now.....

Ok - gotta sign off as I have to take the recent grad to church at 5 and then to sign up for summer softball classes with her CCD program. They are starting something new for this year. They are trying to gather enough students to make games and to help keep from getting bored. I'm so glad they're trying this. Maybe it'll help curb some impulses!

Later - all - be good.

 

[jlawall]

I send some stuff to DCL today and in that requested an update on the group Palo situation, I have over 20 people interested, including a waitlist, I have asked how much it holds I think its 14 odd, we shall see if there is anything that can do,

Sounds good, I will sort out my son, maybe give him something small before, or ask for it plain, it looks alot like the menues we were having in Majorca.

Ok guys who have showed an interst in 4cats dinner -Let me know what you think.

If you are still interested - I would be willing to organise this.

Dave and I will be going and looking at the menu's we would prefer Menu1.

I appreciate that some might want to drop out due to the set menus / prices.

Could you re-confirm - your interest (PM Me with this) and we can take it from there.

Thanks

So we will pay by credit card a few days before the meal, I will be around there at that time!!

Ok soon to bed!

Night night all! Have a good week!

No worries -

I do have a paypal account so I could collect payment and then pay the 4cats

Two Brits pretending to not know a pirate is coming on..............

Helen,
Could you perhaps explain the menu a little more? Having never been to Europe before, I'm not sure how to read the menu.

1. Do we all have to choose the same meal?
2. What is the 10, 20 - is 10 the appetizer and 20 the main course or is it a choice of main course?

Thanks,
Maryann
