Never know you to 'correct' yourself, does that mean you think I am adorable, or just if I say


OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


Harry met Sally moment.

Ill have what she's having

You were quiet for a while and I got worried I had finally gone too far with my needling! Knew it was coming eventually . . .

Yes, I'll have that as well . . .

And I do think bulldogs are cute! But do you look like a bulldog or are you just doing the voice? I have no real opinion on bulldog voices other than curiosity . . .

Try to eat light, water only cut coffee/tea to low levels, try to sleep on flight, try not to have naps on arrival get out and about in that loverly sunshine in Spain, try to get through to 9pm ish, then crash out,

set your watch as you get on the plane to Spainsih time and eat and do everything to that.

We're leaving at 6pm and arriving at 8am Spanish time.......we're hoping to sleep thru most of the flight and then take a brief nap onboard in the afternoon.....I hope that keeps us from being too grumpy!

Actually it's funny metric came up today. DH&I were working on a pocket Euro conversion chart (I made one on excel just to give us an idea (I mean heart attack) to see what we are really spending). Anyway, on the back I put the temp conversion from F to C and some metric conversions, just for reference. (The in me really likes to do excel spreadsheets and dabble in reference charts just for fun)

Hi MaryAnn

If you are shoppers you might find shoe size and clothing size conversions useful for your chart too

Ok, I know this is my 5th cruise, but I don't think any of them were sold out (I tended to cruise on the off season). Any hints from those who've been on a full ship?

I did a quick reply to this earlier, but I wouldn't worry, most DCL cruises end up full due to discounting near the end DCL has very high occupancy rates.

Now my 2005 repo was 100% full, the next will be as well, my 2006 double dip was full as well.

As I said above do not worry, full cruise firstly means good tips for staff, so servers will be happy.

The pools will be full on the limited sea days and sun beds will be a premium, using other desks like the promenade and deck 10 is an idea.

Disney veterans are used to getting up early, queuing in a line etc, for example on my Panama crossing the viewpoints were all staked out very very early in the morning.

The restaurants Will have limited scope to move tables around, and I would say under pressure so get to dinner on time as if you start behind it will add on a delay all dinner, minutes lost will mean your servers loose their place in the gallery queue and then food comes out slower.

But Disney knows how to move queues quickly, so relax and look to all of the ship, for those secret places.

Mines my verandah!

Can't wait to see them all!

Ok, I converted from kg to lb and it comes out to 70.55 lb. That makes sense. I think weight limit for any checked bag is just over 50 lb. So, we're good.

Why can't we just have one system of measurement?

This is what I was quoted from my airline.........so what we're saying is that I can have 70 lbs. maximum per passenger over two bags, right?

They are nice dogs and yes i was offline for shopping and Scouts!

Try.... to get sleep on the flight, and if you 'nap' on arrival limit it to a power nap and get out in the afternoon and evening sun.

Our last cruise was definitely full- not a problem. Everyone finds their own place on the ship- luckily we all like slightly different things- there's space for everyone (except in the goofy pool )

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Ok where are we?
