Kelly, does that mean you are bringing Sees lollypops? lol.

Pj

Well, I did actually call about them to purchase the large quantity, but I could only get 900 and it was a little out of my budget. So, now I'm bringing something far less exciting, but nice.

The Olympic Torch is coming to SFran. We've seen it twice in past Olympic years and it is a very special and fun thing to see whizzing past you.

[Tink rules]

I am thinking I will do one load of unmentionables and the rest to the service. This will be my splurge.

Pj

I wonder if you can give them special instructions - I like to hang my shirts to dry (otherwise they shrink...)

I just called DCL to see if I could get my room nbr changed, but they said nope. Will try again later.

Did you cry??? Try crying...

Thanks.

I think I just may pay to have it done. It would beat any goofiness of trying to get up early enough / stay up late enough / hanging out in the laundry room drinking vodka and eating cookies.

If I think about how much my vacation time is worth, and because there are only two of us. It's worth it.

I'm planning on packing about 1 week to 8 days worth of clothing, so paying for laundry to be done once during the trip is not too too terrible.

Probably not bad if I calculate out how much a vacation hour is worth.

Just pack 15 pairs of undies and wing the rest... at least you'll have enough of the important stuff to get you through until you can bribe someone with fatty fruity boozy drinks to give you a washer...

cat 4 available....for my family, 2 adults, 2 children ages 5 and 3 it would be $11,807.16!

that doesn't incude transfers and ins

for 2 adults with no transfers and ins a mere
$9, 138.58

V... does that include the ghosts that come with the Haunted Cabin???

 

[EllaEnchanted]

So we are giving to everyone, not just the people who are doing the fish mail..good to know.
Do you know how many cabins there are? Who has the master list..oh I'll stop being lazy and go to the main page unless the master is reading today and wants to let me know...

Oh yeah, I forgot to preface it with......of the people who have fish extenders.....because whether they said yes or no to gifting we're handing out gifts to all people with fish extenders. If they have no fish extender, they won't get gifted.

Lisa/LiserAnn has the master list now.

 

[Tink rules]

These are the numbers I got for the fish teams...


total # of people - 367 (note, this number is EVERYONE, those who'll have FE and those who won't. Detailed FE info is below)
total # of children under 18 - 112
total # of 18 and over - 255
total # of cabins - 141

 

[Making_Memories]

How much is laundry service? I mean, depending on the cost, I might just have it done.

I am kind of thinking along the same lines myself.

 

[Making_Memories]

There is a link on the website, young man, lol. shipboard page, lower sidebar. Which takes you to this location, http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=10054885&postcount=4

Pj

Thanks that is a good place to start. I wonder how much it has gone up in the past few years.

 

[Making_Memories]

My plan exactly. I've figured it into what I plan to spend.

Me too. I figure I will send my dresses and kids wrinkled formals out once we get onboard. Then I will send dirty laundry out once half way through the cruise and then as close to the end as possible. Sounds like a good plan.

 

[Making_Memories]

I have a laundry slip at home that I purposely brought off the Wonder from last month. I'll get it tonight and post if no one gets to it before me.

That would be great!

You scared me Michelle, I thought I miscounted and wasn't going to have enough for a minute......but 112 + 255 = 367 that's EVERYONE. FE info below equals Everyone. Recount FE Only Please!

Oh, I was able to get a great price on the Canon A720, Thanks Ken. One of my vendors is going to provide it for me at $155.00 CAD and my price will be $159.00. I have only seen it for an average of $219.99 up here in Canada. It will be here tomorrow.

[lillygator]

alright, heading home - going to get a swim in before John goes to play ball. Probably going to bed early tonight as there doesn't seem to be anything on tv. Hopefully a good nights sleep will be had!

 

[MrsMork]

I had to TELL my best friend about her bridal shower because she had made other plans that day...

Two people at work told Dennis about his surprise 50th BD party. I did some quick dance with him and still managed to surprise him! He believes anything I tell him!

I got my photo with one of the runners in, um, 1984 I think it was. Got to hold the torch with him for the photo too! Very, very cool!!!

Any idea what the cost is to steam formals on board?

Ah, the answer to my last post - I am reading backwards.

Now who volunteered to come paint my house???

It seems that this will need to be completed this weekend.

So I am patiently waiting......

But just in case, I am off to Home Depot for supplies.

I need to finish the door (long story posted 2 weeks ago) and the front of the house to repair the soggy painted area...

in time for Easter... sure...

Now who was it that said they would come help?

Have a great night everyone.

WOW!! That's a fabulous price!! I thought I did great when I bought my wife's at just over $200.

One word of caution, I personally have found it a bit frustrating when using hte flash. Due to only taking 2 AA batteries the refresh rate on the flash is a little slower than I would like. But in the outdoors where a flash isn't required it is great. I love the grid you can put on it (helps with the 2/3rds rule) and there is even a setting where you can make it show you the 4:3 ratio that most pics are printed at, so you can compose it better for actual printing, rather than having stuff needed to be cut off or an edge left on your pics.

That would be me!! But, since our house is not sold yet......we cannot get on the road just yet.

Go naked... except for Dinner... then wear shorts... Oh and pack quarters... I got some laundry detergent (small sizes) at Walmart in the travel section by the beauty and stuff aisles... I got the small All bottles because they do 2 loads each - make sure you pack them in zip lock bags so they don't leak!!!

But if you go naked....except for dinner.....

then you won't need to worry about packing quarters cuz you won't need to do any laundry!!!!!
