[PURTYPAT1]

Welcome back Lauren, I missed you!!!

Silver, how many more Saturdays?

 

[silver7]

ONLY 3 MORE SATURDAYS UNTIL OUR SAILAWAY PARTY!!!!!

 

[DVC4US]

Only 3 more Saturdays until sailaway, which means only 2 more Saturdays til we leave for London and so much to do!

Here's the updated list for the Meet and Greet in the Roy Suite! If your cabin number or number of people in your party is incorrect please let me know. For those of you without cabin numbers I know you are still waiting on them, so just let me know when you are assigned a cabin. There have been a lot of changes in cabin numbers, so please check yours and make sure it is right. I want to leave reminders on Saturday night so it's important I have correct cabin numbers. Also if you get to the port and get/pay for an upgrade please call my cabin and leave your new number so the reminders are delivered to the correct cabin.

For any new cruisers everyone is invited so if you want to join us in a tour of the Roy Suite and a Meet and Greet with other DISers please let me know. You can PM me or post on the board. This is not an RSVP so if things interfere it's okay.

 

[DVC4US]

Okay, here is the list I have so far of plans for everyone. Please check it to make sure everything is correct and let me know if I need to add or change anything. If you did not list any excursion for a port I just listed you as "on your own". I would suggest not printing it yet in case there are additions or changes. Also, I have this in a word file so if you would prefer it that way I can email it to you. It's pretty long and I hope not too confusing. If anyone has any suggestions for changes just let me know.

[DVC4US]

It's a little more organized and looks better in the word file so if you want that let me know. I'm going to be really busy this next week, but I will try to get online when I can. Everyone have a great day.

 

[Worktoplay]

Leilani,

Thanks for doing that, it looks like you put alot of hard work into it!

I'm think of you these days since my son's graduation party is Monday the
28th, I remember you'll be doing the same soon! It sure is alot of work...and a little sad watching your kids grow up.

Marie

 

[DVC4US]

Marie,

Yes, things are a bit crazy around here at the moment. I have several open houses to attend this weekend plus a soccer game for Alyssa here in about an hour. My parents arrive on Wednesday and then the rest of our company will be here Thursday and Friday. We have open house on Saturday, plus I will try to get to two other open houses that day. Then graduation is on Sunday and most of the company will leave on Monday. After that I will have more time to finish up plans for the trip. If I'm not on the boards much this week don't worry I will be back in full force a week from Monday.

Off to take care of some pictures. Have a great day!

 

[wonder]

Hi LeiLani,
Thanks for putting all this together...you really did a great job!! We will all need nametags with our DIS boards names so we will know who is who!! ha ha!! We changed our excursion in Palermo to Boat Ride to Zingaro Park. Sorry I should have told you sooner!!

Have a great weekend!
Caroline

 

[Worktoplay]

LeiLani,

Sounds like your crazy time is a bit before mine. My son still hasn't had their senior prom, its not until June 1st. We're having his graduation party on May 28th just to space out the parties over a couple of weeks. He still has to attend classes until June 5th but mentally the whole class is finished with school - I think! They don't graduate until June 12th and 13th if it rains. So I'm going to be crazy busy and then get on a plane! Boy will I be ready!

Steph,

I tried to reply back to your post about the money exchange yesterday but I was on a different computer and the website didn't seem to think I knew my password! not lol I guess its best to at least use a card where you know the transaction fee will be small just in case you incur one. I tried to order euros at my bank but they wanted to charge me $15.00 just to ship them to the bank. I thought that was odd. I just don't want to wait until I get on the ship as I think the lines could be long the first day at sea with everyone wanting euros for the first port.

Can't wait to finally meet everyone!!!


Marie

 

[pillow]

LeiLani, Cary is my DS, not DD (happens a lot). Thanks for putting this together. It makes it easy to see who might be on an excursion with us.

Can't remember who was putting the list together for lunch on the 16th at 1:30, but count us in (4 of us). Where will lunch be?

When I saw Silver 7's post - 3 more Saturdays till sailaway, I almost started to hyperventilate. SO MUCH TO DO BEFORE THEN!

-Jodie

 

[auntsue1]

LeiLani,

What a job compiling all that data! We already have a change on the excursion.

I'm (auntsue1) currently listed on the exclusive vip visit of the Vatican & highlights of Rome. I cancelled the highlights of Rome & Vatican Museums.

Sorry,
Sue

 

[silver7]

Thanks Leilani!

My prediction: We have our docs by this time next week

The Great Silvernac has spoken

I think I said I would try to do that but I got too busy. We would probably love to come to that.

Thanks Leilani!

Holding you to that!

 

[auntsue1]

Thanks Leilani!

We'd all like free upgrades!

 

[taysmom]

3 Saturdays left...that can't be! I have to get my butt in gear!

Marie- I am bringing 3 cc's. 1 with 1% fee, 1 for the ship charges (american dollars so I'm getting my miles!) and my amx as a back up! Plus my atm card. Now...i just have to find it and get the pin and figure out which atms in europe i can use...hmm....I never use an atm so this will be interesting.

I have 40 euros. Thanks to my friend who just returned from paris. Got the best exchange! and will have 20 pounds soon as friends from england are coming in for graduations.
So that takes care of the walking around money. No rushing to find the atm here.
I also purchased a metro pass for barcelona so I don't have to figure out the cost for each ride!

I am coordinating the lunch. Don't know where it's going to be. I will post the list of people who are going a little closer. Please post if you are interested. I will contact dcl around june 1st to find out what lunch place will be open and let them know the amount of people.
I had already asked and they recomended calling after the first ship left the med. Make sure they had stuff together.

Thanks for the lists. I kinda want to change some excursions just so we have company. Thanks again for the brunch. When we board, I want to get to the palo line to book another dinner. I am a single so marie or anyone who wants to join on another day please let me know!
I will also try to get the tea..company is always appreciated!

OMG...3 saturdays. Jeez...I gotta get cleaning! Still need a cat sitter. Mail/paper have been taken care of, along with ride to the airport!

25 days until we leave SFO!

BTW...is anyone reading the davidson blog? they are cruising now on the repo and it's quite funny. BUT I saw on their comments that there is a group of 22 people who are on 6/16 cruise. We have our work cut out for us, as they know each other already! I didn't see a "polly" post here so I don't think it's anyone on this thread.
Polly if your lurking...post away... We'd love to meet you before!

Today is my daughters 9th birthday! She's with her dad at some scottish games??? So I'm going to see waitress today! Heard good things about that movie. Love the independants!

Look forward to seeing you all. Have a great weekend.

Steph

 

[Worktoplay]

Steph,

I read the Davidson blog this morning and its so getting me into the spirit even if some people on the other thread weren't thrilled. I think its cute. They sound like typical teenish age kids having their kind of fun! lol
My 12 year old was thrilled to hear about the exclusive pins...I hope we get them too.

I would love to do a Palo's tea with you if you can book it.

I'll be off the posts next week. Doing the girls getaway! I'm going to go thru this huge cruise file that I keep shoving papers into and maybe crack open one of the books I bought on Barcelona and Italy!

Marie

 

[pillow]

Steph, I LOVE girls night out! I would love to meet you at Palos, but my hubbie might get upset with me, so I'd better not! But margheritas by the pool sounds good!

-Jodie

 

[DVC4US]

Hi All!

A short break between open houses and what am I doing? Reading the DIS boards of course. Like I don't have anything better to do!

Brittany has been out since 10:30 this morning just going to all the open houses she has been invited too. I glad it's her and not me.

I made the corrections so far and I tried to clean it up a bit. Like I said it is easier to read in the word file so when it gets closer if you want a copy let me know. I will probably make a couple extra copies to have at the DIS meet and greet too.

 

[also]

LeiLani,
Thanks so much for all the work you have put into the list. I think it's just fantastic to be able to see who all is going on the excursion with you. Jmcdonnell - I noticed that we have all 4 of our excursions with you, Palo's the same evening, and have a daughter the same age (12). It'll be great to get to know you!
Maybe I didn't give info about dining, but we have late dining.

Just a reminder for shirts - they will be going up at 6pm eastern or 5pm central time tonight.

 

[also]

Steph,
We are interested in meeting for lunch when we get on the boat.
We'll have our shirts on and ready to start putting faces with all these names that we know.
