Well I've started...I got out the suitcase tonight.

Thankfully I had enough foresight after our Xmas cruise to put all the clean and ironed shirts, t-shirts and shorts straight into one of the suitcase ready for this cruise Aren't I a clever bunny

Ok I know I'm blowing my own trumpet ...... but who else is going to do it ???

 

[salliep]

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!

Andrew I hope you are feeling better, you really need to be at your best , your will need to have all your wits about you, because I talk fast, the propeller will be spinning, I will be turning purple red every 20 min or so, fanning myself with whatever is in my reach, and you need to be in tip top shape incase I do head for the fountains-!!!.... start taking your vitamins and get plenty of rest!!!!

You might be the official first packer of suitcases for this cruise.!!

Hi Everyone !!!
Maryann and I have just finished lunch, although it too us several hours to get through it with all the non- stop talking. WE also took a couple of pictures which also took about an hour since we couldn't stop laughing while trying to figure out how not to make our chins and faces look like over-stuffed cabbages!!!

When you see them, you will note we didn't do such a good job-!! We are having the best time!!! WE wish all of you could be here. Maryann and I exchanged wonderful, unique, useful gifts which will also be posted when she gets home.
Does anyone have icamara???? If so, I could turn mine on and you can see us live!!!!! We are quite entertaining!!!
We have to go now, we are busy rolling more TP, trying on our new, shocking lime -green matching outfits, and testing the velocity of our propeller hats in my backyard. The neighbors are peering over the fence, shaking their heads, and threatening to call Jimmy!!!!!!
If you couldn't tell, we get along like we've known each other for years!

Sallie & Maryann

Hello.

Did you see there is a second Brunch and if you are quick you might be able to get space on it, see posts by Alexturner Lisa.

Also there might be a brunch available on the DCL website soon.

Back when I was traveling a lot, I had a suitcase that was effectively always packed and ready to go. Convenient, but I'm glad those days are over...

Thanks I am ok, the worst night I think was Tuesday, had one of my old headaches develop, tonight hasnt been to bad but a long day to/back from London twice during the day, and hit rush hour, I am glad I do not have to go down there too often.

29 days to go looking forward to it, going to order my money next. Euros few dollars

On Euros could I remind you that we pay the Private tours in cash or t/chqs in euros at the end. I sent you a breakdown before, I would suggest we both round it up, a little to 1/ make it easy, and 2/ include a tip.

We will will need euros for entrance fees say Pompeii and Vatician, I have taken care of Piza.

Alos light lunch at some point on each trip.

Dollars still required for tips on board, although I have a resonable shipboard credit in dollars to cover tips and the two DCL trips.

Yes, Maryann reminded me too when we were calculating- I am going to put that in a separate envelope, how much do you think for all the tips?for excursions and the servers???/

For cruise tips

http://cruisetip.tpkeller.com/

For our private tours not too sure but I think we should round up to the nearest euro note, maybe around Euro's 10.

In europe people tip less than in USA, however if they are good, and I expect them to be, around this mark.

 

[MrsG]

Pics of Sallie's cats Isabella & Mia. Yes, they are as cute as they look.

 

[MrsG]

Sallie & I exchanged gifts. Guess what we exchanged??? Give up?????

Good pictures, smile and the world smiles with you.

Anyone heard anything about the differences between the two beach excursions in Sardnia ?

We're booked to go to the Coda Cavello beach but I'm wondering why bother to pay the extra when all the boys want is sand and sea for a couple of hours so I'm thinking I mught change for the other tour I was just wondering what the difference was ?

Izzi, I could hardly tell the difference. Seems like the Coda beach may be a little more exclusive. But we opted for the other one for the same reason you're considering switching. We're on the PM. I thought it would be fun to walk around town before we go and get sand in all the wrong places.

Update on the Lanyard order:

Jeanne,

We just got them in completed and are going to ship them out to you today!!
I was really excited too. They look awesome!
It was really nice working with you.

Thanks!
Jen

I still have 2 lanyards available. Let me know if someone want them!

Jeanne,
That's great news. You've worked so hard on the project. My part was peanuts compared to the work you did. Congratulations!

Still (glub) raining (glub, glub)!
