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

[MrsG]

Glad you got both sets of documents, Julie. One less thing to worry about!

Hope all is well with MJ and passport saga.

Maryann

 

[MrsG]

Izzy, Lynn, and Helen, and our other friends across the pond,

Hope the rain stops so you can get to sunny Barca!!!! We had a nasty rainy day today and all I could do was think of all of you and hope that you are not flooded. It's all over our news how this is the worst rain in GB since 1947!

Stay safe and dry.

Marynn

 

[MrsG]

Congrats on a VERY FLUFFY Andrew!!! It was really good to hear from you and that you are having fun and all arrived safely. However, that business about the internet cutting out on you......

Can't wait to see you in a few days!

Maryann

Hi everyone,

It's been a busy day!

First all - glad you're having fun, Andrew, or would that be el pirata Andres'.

Safe travels, Helen.


Okay, on to the tales of the passport.....

If you've been following this saga of mine, the last we had was that the passport was not delivered on Saturday, and so I had asked them to hold it at the FedEx office and we would go get it. The agent put it in the system to hold - great.

Nick left here for his two-hour drive to San Diego. He called me shortly after 10am to tell me that....

.... the passport was not there, and would be delivered before 3pm.

This is where the smiley falling to its knees and lifting its tiny fist to the heavens would be really appropriate ... but for now, I have to use ... but, image a tiny smiley raising its little smiley fist.

So, we've been checking online for status, and Nick has been sitting by the front door waiting....

Well, he just called me

Have a wonderful trip.

Good news -- both sets of my docs arrived this afternoon, UPS . . . I had taken the gamble and asked for both (July 28 and Aug. 18) to be sent out before I leave on the 26th, and was beginning to think that it would have been better to go ahead and at least get the July 28 set, but now the gamble has paid off.

Now if we can just get good news from Mary Jo about Nick's passport . . .

Nice to hear you received both sets of docs!

[jlawall]

Sorry Perdie, just like JoAnn said, what I meant was reading the book was winning over packing!!!! Sorry, wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone. However I will say this, it is the best book out of all of them and well worth the wait!! I preordered through Amazon but got guaranteed delivery for Sat. It came at 8:30 am. Didn't finish it until last night. Finished packing, too. Now just the last minute stuff ins!
Way to go JoAnn!
Congrats on the Anna and HB Laura & Megan
Harole Ann,
What handsome grandsons you have!
Maryann

So what you're saying is that you were reading HP all day yesterday??

[jlawall]

HI well its the final hours on the board for me.

Done most of the packing, although the carryon stuff is all spread out on the dining room table. There is absolutly no point in me packing it yet as I would only have to get it out and check it a 100 times or so.

I am a constant checker

The only thing I cant seem to find are some of our TSA locks for the cases - thier bright green and pink!

I have in my tummy I that excited

Just arranged a taxi to pick us up @ 4:30 am! our first flight is 6:55 to heathrow. fingers x

Then 9:25 Heathrow to BCN

If all goes to plan we should land in Barcelona 12:25 (thier time )

So excited for you (and everyone!) Safe travels........CU Soon!!!

 

[salliep]

OK- I HAVE THE FIRST ITEMS ACTUALLY IN THE SUITCASE......
Worried I dont have enough, worried I have too much, worried its all going to get lost, worried ,worried, worried !!
Thank goodness it poured again today- or I would have left it all again for the

Andrew - so happy you wrote- Im glad the weather is better- we're all almost on our way !!!!



Maryann- IM GOING CRAZY - AND YOU"RE READING HARRY POTTER !!!!! If I would have known- I would have picked you up to help me!!!!!

 

[jlawall]

Cudos to DCL as they got us booked back on the Erice and Segesta excursion again! Beware! Linked reservations CAN change your excursions!

Apparently many guest have requested a feature to make sure they have enough seats on an excursion for all linked members. They said I am the first that this has happened to.

Anyway, like any good Disney story, This one had a happy ending!

Mary Jo,I sent you a couple of PMs explaining this.

Weird, I feel like I should double check mine now! Glad it all worked out!!

 

[jlawall]

Glad you're safe, Andrew -- too funny that you claim the internet is running out all the time to disguise your shameless fluffing to the pirate! Congrats on the pirate and on your lottery win, have fun, and I'll see you soon.
