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

[formerCPer]

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?

Dang. Missed another pirate.
I'm with you guys on this one. Let's take our chances coming in off the street. Not crazy about this idea of paying up front.
BTW, our plan is to taxi south from our hotel at Hilton Diagonal and meet up with others at the Grand Marina. Too chicken to try to find 4Cats on our own.

Thanks
_ think we had a lot of lurkers - there was a lot of green lights on mybuddy list

My goodness, can't two friends just have innocent conversation without a whole flock of lurkers swooping right in.

Boy, you are really good lurkers!!!!!

[MrsJobba1]

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.

Maryann

Yes Thanks MaryAnn

Just to add - Anyone is welcome - we are not going to reserve 4 cats in advance -
We are just meeting up @7.45pm at the resturant - hopefully we'll recognise each other.

By not reserving in advance we dont have to have the set menu!

We arrive in Barcelona on the Tuesday. Dave doesn't know this yet - but Im planning on doing a dummy run from 4cats to magic fountain - so I should know the way.

The 4cats looks relativly easy to find from my hotel

Mary jo- I love it, I will definitely prefer buying it done than the iron on- Im just not sure how to get both graphics to the shirt- unless they have an upload button and we use photobucket like here???? I guess we also have to wait for the tags to be put inside the Mickey head?????

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 !!

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 !!

I'm also waiting for the tag background in July.
For those looking for logo graphics, I do recommend using the links I posted in message 10811 - it's based on Brian's highest resolution image and will give you the best available quality on whatever you are printing.

Dan, do you ever publish articles or editorials in your local newspaper, or the major newspapers and magazines ?? You have such a journalistic voice when you post... so cleaver, intelligent, and LOL funny! If not you should- you have a gift!

Thanks. Most of my writing has been in the technical world, though I've given some thought to diversifying.

All,
Here is a great resource for images on the web:

www.brandsoftheworld.com

On the homepage, scroll down to the bottom and there should be a search box. Put in anything you want -- like Italian Mickey -- and you should get some results that will yield artwork you can download that is acceptable quality for placing and printing.

My thanks to Dan for cleaning up the banner artwork. I didn't originally envision it to be used on wearables, but I am anxious to see how it turns out.

We just dropped off the kids passport applications and the sign said 12 weeks but the clerk said more like 16 weeks. She said it will take 4-6 weeks just to get into the system so we have a receipt.

My mother was going to take dd13 to Canada while we are away on the cruise but I don't know if it's a good idea with out her passort. Our kids are adopted from China and Korea and we get a lot of questions at the border. We're used to it but I don't want my mom and dad to panic.

DH had his tux fitted and it will be ready 7/5 so we are cruising along (no pun intended) to be ready for our cruise.

Now it's time to grocery shop. The kids are deparate. You'd think I was starving them or something.

Have a great afternoon.

I'll be the one wearing the green cape and tights.

 

[jlawall]

I'll print it, Laminate it then stick some magnetic tape on the back

That sounds easy, I think I could handle that!!

 

[Disneynutinlondon]

My metro tickets arrived today in the post - They didn't take long at all

That means mine should be here soon too !!

 

[MrsJobba1]

I'll be the one wearing the green cape and tights.

MMmmmm Interesting



(note to self avoid anyone wearing green cape and tights!)

 

[Disneynutinlondon]

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?

Maryann

You must go to the Nou Camp which is Barcelona football clubs stadium it's supposed to be fantastic

I said that ! - Must be the British and their love of the game

We might even see Henry there !

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)

Let us know how it is - I hate those lines though - no fast pass yet?

Sandra its quite easy to use. You basically select a blank screen and you can drop clip art pics on to it!

I am so grateful for all the nice comments - Iam inspired to have another bit play for another one

If you are familiar with Word, it's another Microsoft software - some similarities.

Helen, I think I'll give it a try. How are you going to laminate it? Do you take it to an office store or do it at home?
Sandra

If you have a teacher store - they do laminating - otherwise, I buy the clear cabinet liner and do cheap "laminating" that way.

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

You have such imagination!! They are awesome!!

Hey, as long as that line is I could probably go join you when I get out of work!

Seriously, hope your wait isn't that long.


Okay, gotta go.

Could you imagine the mutiny if you tried to cut in where they were?

My metro tickets arrived today in the post - They didn't take long at all

I think I am going to wait until I am there - I don't have my days planned yet. Was there a reason you purchased them now? Seems like you can buy them at the ticket booth.

You can tell who has now finished school

I better get going!! I need to stop multi-quoting!!

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.

Maryann

I hate to do that too - but the Euro is so expensive right now.

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

They are great!!

Congrats!!

I think we'll eat at Mickey D's that night

Don't say that we're a Gooners household here, I'm in mourning I love Mr Va Va Vroom on the other hand Ethan (my little one) is delighted as he's a Barcelona fan as well !!!!!

Brit speak??

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

We registered already and once you do you can go back in and edit the credit card info.



Wow, Helen, I am impressed! Really nice!!

It must be really bad as we saw it on our regular news. And my poor kids are in London. They packed warmer clothing as it seems it will be cool for the next week or so. It will probably be cooler in Scotland and Ireland. Thanks for the heads-up about telling them to bring rain wear. It looks like they'll be using it. Brrrrrrrr. And here, we've finally hit hot weather! Now it feels like summer and the trip will be here soon!


Maryann

London is fine, it just had gales last night the flooding is north. Dont worry.

Congrats on mini
