July 28, 2007 - "Rome-ancing the Mouse Cruisers" -11 days! Part 3

[MrsG]

I've printed out a map of Barcelona and am starting to add the things we want to see on it.

Helen,
4 cats is not too far from my hotel, just south a few blocks. Do you think we can make ressies for 4 (7 if Sallie joins us). There is a place to make reservations on their web site. What do you think?

Maryann

 

[MrsJobba1]

Oh, just thought of something. Are we supposed to haggle for prices in Spain, Italy, and France? We don't like to but when we were in Mexico, they expected you to. Just was wondering about it.

Maryann

Hi Maryann,

Not sure if you are expected too, but I do - or I try the no its much and start to walk out the door - Often they do come down

I would certainly haggle is I was @ a market!

 

[MrsG]

Anyone making a list of MUST SEES in Barcelona?

So far: La Sagrada de Familia
Casa Mila & Casa Battlo - both Gaudi
La Ramblas for shopping

?Any additions?

I emailed them and they said if we wanted to reserve we needed to use the set menu and pay up front.

I dont think we really need to reserve if the restauant opens @ 8pm and we meet up @ 7.45. Most people in Barcelona dont eat until at least 9.

What do you think?

The nou camp - if you are a footy fan

Parc Guell - Gaudi's parc for the people

Cathedral and the Barri Gotic (gothic part of town)

Wow, here if you do that, they let you keep on walking!
I feel better that it's not expected, like Mexico. It makes me uncomfortable, unless I really feel it's way too much, of course.

markets is where most poeple expect to haggle - I wouldn't try it in a department store

Dave didn't like it when I haggled in Cozumel last year - He kept whispering "they've had a hurricane"

Although when I got his silver necklace 50% off he didn't mind then

 

[bellelinus]

You lot have inspired me I really should be making worksheets but I ended up doing this

Wow, Helen! You are coming up with some great door signs!

 

[Disneynutinlondon]

ok this is the start of my door decorations. I'm going to cut them out so that they are individual pictures

What do you think?

Yes, we definately do it your way. It seems ridiculous that you have to pay up front and use the reserve menu. I'd rather take my chances walking in off the street. If we don't wind up there, I'm sure there will be plenty of other places. We won't starve!

Thanks for looking into it.

[MrsJobba1]

Wow, Helen! You are coming up with some great door signs!

Thank you

 

[Disneynutinlondon]

Bl**dy 40 sec wait !!

 

[Aurora1959]

Brian was kind enough to send me a high res image a couple of weeks back. I spent some time cleaning it up (had some jpg compression artifacts).

Here are two images. The first one is a single high res image that's had its resolution adjusted to appear exactly 4.5 inches wide (the maximum recommended size for T-shirt pocket).

The second one is the same, except it has two images on a page - for those who want to print out their own T-shirt transfers to help conserve paper.

Thank you so much Dan. It comes out crystal clear and will look awesome on the shirt.

I thought that we waiting for the back image as we were getting our tags into a Mickey Shape that Aurora 1959 or Dan ?? was doing for us and that she was waiting until July 1st so that the TF could do her stuff !!

Yep - Just giving the TF more time to do her magic. That and the kids will be gone this weekend, and I will drive into work with my hubby. So I will have lots of time in the evening to do things as he finishes up work. So I think next monday and tuesday will be good days to work on it.

Ok- just went to the site-it is the same as uploading the image like we do here !! So we need to wait for the tag image to be done before we can order... ?????
I am also going to do the canvas beach bag with our pocket design !!

If you want to order something with the logo Brian made, go ahead. But I wont have the tag image for the back until next week. If you do though, let me know how it works because I am curious to see if they will hassle us over the use of Mickey.

Hi everyone,

Not been around for a while, but done a bit of catching up! Glad to see TP issues (tissues?) appear to be resolved!
Ideas posted for t-shirt printing are helpful, thanks- will wait on Carrie to let us know if we need to organise it (thanks Carrie )
Lisa (Alexcturner)- sent you a pm
So excited - only few weeks now. Just sorting out hotels for Barcelona.

Good to see you again. I know it takes forever to ketchup. You can certainly tell the teachers are out of school.

DW & I are standing in a ridiculous line for the Submarines Nemo ride. estimate 2.5 hrss. Typing this on my poccket PC. Wish you were all here.(just not in front of us)

I'm so envious. It will be 2008 before I am allowed back in DL. I can't believe it. I have a family picture of us from every year since CA Adventure opened, and I wont have one for 2007. It's been great to take that picture in the same spot and see how the kids have grown. I guess I will have to settle on a picture of Rome or something this year.

This is me thinking of you standing in line - (that's sick with envy)

Congrats, Helen.

Izzy, where did you come from, you lurker, you!
