How much time is everyone planning on taking off around the cruise?

five weeks!

we'll be cruising at the end of our USA holiday. probably leave another day or two to wind down before we head back home.

Becx, not sure if your question got answered previously but baking soda is the same thing as bicarb soda (i'm guessing that's what you guys call it, as that's what we call it!). baking powder has cream of tartar added.

here's a link for more info:

How much time is everyone planning on taking off around the cruise? I'm trying to plan my vacation time for next year and can't decide how much to take for the cruise.

I'm thinking come in on Friday. Tour and meets on Saturday. Embark on Sunday. Sail through Thursday. Tour Fri, Sat, Sun. Return home on Sun.

Not enough? For PCC 1.0, I came home on Monday.

I booked off work for 2 shifts, so I have most of the second half of December off. Unfortunately I get more than twice the vacation time that DH gets. I think we have to come back on the Sunday so he can go to work.

They are quite different, and let me know the outcome for your cookies!

They were great I'm glad it didn't affect them

five weeks!

Nice Would love to do 3 weeks or more but DH can't take off more than 14 work days One day when we win the lottery

Thanks for that, they really did seem fine - I think I was lucky They shouldn't give them such similar names - it confuses me as I knew we had baking something I've heard of bicarb of soda - again why have multiple names

Happy Turkey Day Eve! My mom is allergic to turkey, so whenever I spend T-day with her, we have chicken in place of turkey.

[lindsey clare]

[A.Mickey]

Have a Happy Thanksgiving all! We are off for Michigan in the AM!

 

[mainegal]

How much time is everyone planning on taking off around the cruise?

Several days before and after. Days depend on plane fares.
I want to do Universal, meet up with friend who works at Universal. Meet up with a friend who lives in Miami.

Need to confirm how many vacation days I have and how many days they can do without me at work.

 

[mainegal]

Awww, that's nice - I bet chickens feel a bit left out this time of year

One year for Thanksgiving I just bought one of those already roasted chickens from the store. Easy!

Another year, a bakery made turkey pie. Easy!

This year I will roast a turkey after it defrosts. Satuday, I think.

 

[Becx N Gav]

Me too - just so I can have a day off work So are you visiting anyone next year for Thanksgiving?

Have a Happy Thanksgiving all! We are off for Michigan in the AM!

Have a safe trip - and lots of yummy food

 

[Becx N Gav]

Happy Thursday everyone and Happy Thanksgiving

Today in 2008 Bolt was released

 

[Becx N Gav]

So I'm guessing everyone was too stuffed with turkey yesterday to post or at least busy with family

Happy Friday everyone - hope you have a good one and a great weekend

In 2002 Treasure Planet was released today

 

[Gav N Becx]

Happy Friday all - hope everyone had a good thanksgiving!

Sitting in the mop chop shop waiting my turn...
Is there an emoticon for that?

 

[jeanigor]

Happy Black Friday!!! Unfortunately stuck at work. So far in the past two and a half hours, we have received one phone call. And it was a wrong number. There are three of us in the office today. Why again was it mandatory to come it today? (I did go shopping before work though. I love shopping!)

 

[Gav N Becx]

Whoop I finally caught up on the last ten or so pages

377 days till we get back on US soil. I'm going to need some peanut butter fixes to keep me going!

So is everyone all packed for DAP?

Becx - you can always start the pre-packing for next year???
