*Sept 10th 2011 WB Transatlantic* From Spain to Space Mountain - Part 3

I thought St Maarten night was Pirate Night Noel

I think you are correct so maybe the night before?

 

[Chris&Jeremy]

We are now on TWO catamarans with a capacity of 64... so those who were "standby" are now CONFIRMED!!! (The four parties below)

Thanks Mandy!

Sue (Sue L) was asking me what night are all of us going to wear our Mickey Mouse tee shirts and ears.

Last year we did it at dinner after a day in St. Maarten's. Do we have a night planned as of yet?

whoo our 2nd set of tshirts came today by courier after the mixup with postal services at baton rouge but then the postman delivered a card to say a parcel is at postoffice in paisley but there is customs charge
so they must have made there way here eventually

Good news! Shall we set the Mickey Mouse night then for night 10 which is the night before St. Maarten!!

With a couple more months til the cruise, I'm sure it won't take long to fill up the 2nd catamaran! We may just have a flotilla of catamarans going on the Tortola trip! Good job Mandy!

It is 64 grand total between the two catamarans... so we are currently at 59 grand total. So we can take just five more. About to open the private messages - see I have 3 waiting...

We only have ONE spot left out of our grand total of 64.

I called on Friday and just gave them the ID# and they ordered them for me no problem. She just asked me if I was authorized to use Mady's account and I said yes, glad that was OK Mandy, and they placed my order.

no problem!

Mandy I've sent you a PM...could you put Myself and DH (2adults) down please?

Thanks

Done! Will update front page soon --- inbetween tutoring sessions now (and what am I doing... checking DIS... LOL!)

doing happy dance mandy!
got my 2 shirts for about [us] $6 per..jody the c/r said u need name of acct thats why other c/r couldnt find items this am...thx so much for your time and effort i will make u a bracelet what size is ur wrist? im bringing alot of jewelry from my company!
happy happy,
nancy 'kc' jadragnfly at yahoo
ps they said my conform. will be coming to ur email so if u want to forward to me jadragnfly at yahoo

No prob. Will pass it along. And thanks for the bracelet offer! My wrist is 18 cm (snug) so maybe 18.5-19 cm slightly loose. I measured with a string, and then held the string against a ruler.

I just received a reply to my VistaPrint email, and apparently what the rep told me Friday was incorrect. I will try to create a "dummy account" this evening with the same shirts so they can be ordered more easily (from what today's rep said via email). Grrr.

pm sent mandy, thanks

Got it on my spreadsheet! Will update front page soon.

OMG it's wild here. The wind is crazy and we have driving rain and sleet

At least the power's back on again

No fun! Power being out hinders me working!

It's like that here too, well not the sleet or the loss of power.

I was out walking the dogs and got hit in the face with something getting blown from the trees..it hurt!

Oh no! Hope all is okay!!

Here's an interesting article on getting mugged in Barcelona AND the steps to take if it happens to you! One idea was absolutely BRIllianT! http://johnnyjet.com/folder/archive/Cynthia-Cunniff-White-Mugged-In-Spain-2009.html

ed to say: Now, I see Mandy posted the same idea a few pages back - but it certainly bears repeating!

 

[karentan]

Thanks Mel

Yes, it's blowing a gale up here and it's freeeeeezing!

not too cold here but its been blowing a gale here too.
can everyone please stop any rain dances in progress, i've got a 24 mile charity walk this weekend which is going to be pure hell if its raining and gale force winds

John and I are working on the website today so if you don't see your info or picture yet it is because we are making changes to the site.

just posted you a photo of me and gary.

would it be at all possible to put a note on the roll call sign up page stating that people are still to PM us to sign up for stuff, got a lot of people on the secret mickey page that arent on my list.....

Thanks, Karen, I did get the photo which will hopefully go up later today.

I will put the note you requested as well at some point today. We will be going through the database to be sure people have entered their information correctly.

Once we get more organized on the site, I am going to post spreadsheets of who is signed up so you can double check your lists against what we have on the website. No one will be able to edit those spreadsheets except us. We plan to create the DIS Navigator from them so we want to be as accurate as possible.

 

[karentan]

thanks, i know that must be a HUGE amount of work to do, and i think i can speak for everyone when i say we really appreciate all your effort

What a nice thing to say! We both appreciate yours and the thoughts of others!

 

[karentan]

also when you say dis navigator, is this something you did last year too? if so do you have a photo? i'm not 100% sure what you mean by it

Here is what was done last year.

2010 WBTA Navigator

 

[birkner]

Just another quick note about the website. If you have people in your cabin who are doing different things or events, sign them up separately so as not to create confusion. If they don't have a DIS name, let me know and I will figure out a workaround.

Just got done looking at the navigator that Noel and John created for the last WBTA cruise. All I can say is that you two should be working for DCL!! I wish that I had your talent.

We actually did not create that Navigator but plan to create one like it this year.

The credit goes to another DISer Sarah (Gismo1554) on last years WBTA!! She had duplux versions, plus non duplux odd and even version links to print. Also there were versions visible on your Android and iPhones.

Wow, I was only away from the boards for a few days and there was so much to catch up on and to do!

I think I have done all that was required re: the Web site, pins and lanyards - Noel, I sent you a PM.

Having to find a photo of DH and myself together proved to be more difficult than I had first thought. It seems we have very few photos of just the 2 of us - lots though of us as individuals or with our 2 kids! We will need to rectify that on the WBTA, so don't be surprised if you are handed our camera and asked to snap a picture of us!

Thanks for posting all of the links for the T-shirts, Mandy. Love your designs and those of Michelle Now I need to try and make some...

Lovely photos of your GDs, Noel Hope the girls had a good time. DS is going as a guest to his high school prom in a few weeks time (he has his prom next year). He looks so grown up in his suit

Thank you for letting me know about the PM. If you find John and I on board, we will be happy to snap a shot of the two of you!

Yes kids sure did look great. They sure grow up fast I hope to see a picture of your son when he goes to the prom!!

2010 WBTA Navigator

For new DCL cruisers or those who haven't done an extended cruise, the above link gives a good overview of aspects of the WBTA.

****karentan : This link would be good to have in Post #1 on the next edition of this thread.
