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

[EPCOT_VA]

I remember, you were with my friends from Chesapeake who did the same cruise as you. We are on Air France......who did you fly with?

Is your friend "DadofLostBoys"? We were talking on the cruise and he thinks that he has seen our Silver Minivan driving around the area. We have a Virginia license plate that says "EPCOT". It kind of stands out to fellow Disney fans.

We flew British Airways to London, stayed a couple of days, and then went to Barcelone. Rather, I should say that our tickets were for British Airways. Our flight got cancelled. We were lucky enough to find out early and got rebooked on United to London. All else went as planned.

Bring Raincoats and galoshes!!!!!!! London is wet at present.

You'll be seeing London as she was meant to be seen grey and wet!

Where are you staying and what are you up to in London?

Hi Lynn,
We have never been there before, so we thought it would be a good idea for a quick 2 night stopover. We have friends there that are meeting us for a tour the first evening. (Duck Tour. Meeting near the London Eye).
We are staying at the Le Meridien Piccadilly. Not happy about the rain as we are dealing with the same thing here and was hoping to get out of it. Your forecast shows Tuesday sunny!!! Hope so.

You'll have fun on the Duck tour and the eye is great, I hope you do have some sun and the worse is over, If it does rain then the aquarium by the eye is fun,

Sorry, now that I looked at your signature.....you have your cats identified with cat icons, and your husband identified with Pluto! I just looked at it fast and got confused.....I'M SO SORRY!!

I thought this post was so funny, please don't get mad at me if I accidentally call Jimmy "Pluto"

I understand how you feel about your aunts, grandparents and of course, parents.........one of my uncles in particular was VERY SPECIAL AND I MISS HIM TO THIS DAY....he passed away at 55, and since then, I've tried to "Seize the Day!" Planning trips like this is part of that process.

Once again.............

I understand the feeling. I lost my dad in 2005, who I was very close to. There are so many more questions I have to ask him, and don't have that opportunity anymore. Thanks to him, the kids & I are going on this cruise. Thank you, DAD!

Where is the packing list....is there a link?

I'm pretty sure it's on page one under Mary Jo's first post..........it's fantastic!

The list is on the first page, first post -- JoAnn's post (um, I've been updating your post w/links to the lists.

I am taking care of mom this weekend. My brother is out of town.

Not going to well.....

I'm so sorry, Lisa. Hope it eases for you.

I can't wait for Nick to get his hands on that passport.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

By the way, guys. I told Nick about the number of people pulling for him to get his passport & you made him smile.

Thank you!

Mary Jo I asked the same question and was told anytime convenient to us on the day we've been allocated.

 

[LynnTarrant]

I still think Nick should go and look under Dan's pillow just in case!

I lost my dad in 99 and I miss him so much. I was thinking about this just last night. My dad passed while he still loved me (both of his other daughters passed before him...my sisters) just about more than anything in his life.

I guess I have decided the hard time my mom has been giving me is not how she really feels (she used to really show her love for me)...but the dislike I feel now from her...may be because of her age.

That is so hard for me to take....

OMGosh --- this is soooo funny.

Any chance, Dan, o keeper of the passports?

Thanks, Lynn. It kind of scares me how many posts I have probably missed with the plethora (I like that word) of useful information that has been shared.

My heart aches for you.


In the last few months for my dad, he was miserable. I believe I understand where you are at.
