*Sept 10th 2011 WB Transatlantic* - From Spain to Space Mountain - Part 6

[magic123]

Good morning to those still at home! An extra good morning to those who are still not packed (me being one of them).

Wondering if I will be the last person on this thread as we leave Saturday morning!

Hoping everything goes smoothly for our flight - I'm already anxious about flying in on Saturday morning. Pixie dust please!

We are leaving saturday too, and it's a bit of a worry, but I know it will be fine...... not long now

I've just realised I don't have a countdown on here

Maybe next time

 

[karentan]

Not much of a countdown when we sail in two days!

(that's if anyone is around to read this) - echo echo echo echo....

Should be an interesting drive to the airport today. We've had 7-10 inches of rain in the area over the last 12 hours. Lots of roads being closed due to being covered in water. They just put up a map marking all the flood and flash-flood warning areas and it covers where I live and the two airports I'm driving to this afternoon. (Driving from my home to BWI (Baltimore) airport, parking and getting a rental car and then driving to PHL (Philadelphia) for my flight to Barcelona.) Maybe I'll just swim instead!

Hey Tammy,

See you on the flight tonight! I'm in 18C. Have a tight connection - get in at 5:30pm from Houston and have to change terminals! BTW, I'm from MD too (think we may have discussed that but with my sometimers disease -sometimes I forget! ) Hoping to get some good sleep on the plane to hit the ground running tomorrow! Drive safely! And get packed!

 

[Rikersmom]

I hope I'm packed. Just a few things to stick in tomorrow before we get picked up for the airport.

I can't wait till the bag are loaded. Then I will have to deal with whatever I have forgotten.

Karen, I plan to make a sign that says "Karentan" to show to anyone I think looks like your picture. See you at the airport,
Karen

 

[sue l]

I'm still here too. For 3 more hours. Soooooo nervous about our connection with all the rain here. Having a cup of tea to try and calm my nerves. I am usually never nervous about traveling. Note to self: NEVER EVER book a flight with a connection.

 

[Sparky47]

I'm sure most of you have left for Barcelona but I was wondering if anyone posted information about blogs they would be keeping while traveling. I haven't started looking through the pages and pages on here; thought I would check here first. Would love to follow along and re-live my trip from last year !

Hi and sorry I haven't been online for the past week. Staying with my Uncle (who is 80 and doesn't understand anything about the net) on top of that have spent the last 2 days in bed with a virus. Well I finally have have access to the net and trying to catch up on all that is happening.

Noel, so sorry about the lanyards, which I could do more then give moral support.

Also wish I could read more of the boards but the mobile broadband keeps dropping out.

Have a safe journey everyone.

Burnice - I'm sorry, but the list has been passed over to the Magic and no changes can be made.
I think they will get charged regardless if they show or not. You can try Guest Services whilst onboard and try and get in cancelled.

Does anybody knows the cruise terminal? Is is still terminal c, mole d'adossat? I can't find it in my travel documents

Last I checked it was C. It is really easy in Barcelona, there is one long terminal with three berths. C is the last one, but you can see the ships, so if it moves you will be able to see it.

It is 8pm here in Skopje and we fly at 430am so we are getting up at 2. So we will get maybe 4-5 hours sleep, so even though we are not transatlantic still feels like we are.

See you all on the ship.

Slowly getting all the small jobs done today. Garden tidied and weeding done. Can't mow the lawn as too wet.
House cleaning tomorrow, one more load of washing, 1 more day of work.

Oh and if I don't pack soon I think Hazel might leave me behind

 

[jinxleprechaun]

Wow you have your seats n all - we won't get ours until we book in at the airport in 9 hrs

I have been running around all day doing the last minute 5 minute jobs that have taken hours - I hate 20 K allowances grrrrrrr

I spent at least 1.5 hrs just looking at various pet shops to find holiday fish food blocks - At one stage I was showing them the frying pan

Just finishing the juggling act with the suitcase loads and hope to get a few hrs sleep (yeah ;-)) Sooo this is IT!!!!!!!!!!!

C U all soon safe journeys

slan agus Beannacht ;-)

That will be us, bleary eyed and tired. If I remember correctly we are in row 1 on the plane.

A pre-cruise meet sounds good to me. I'll be the one freaking out about our luggage making the connection with us. Hope to see you at the gate. I will have a blue rolling suitcase as my carryon.

GOOD Evening, Happy Cruisers!

Weather in Barca is glorious, 77F today, 85 predicted tomorrow, clear and dry.

Yesterday we took both the red and blue routes around the hoho bus, had tea at the Corte Ingles, and walked home from Place de Espanya.

Today, we ate breakfast at a sidewalk cafe, shopped our way through El Raval, took the HOHO to Gaudi's cathedral, walked back toCorte Ingles for tea, started to walk back to the hotel - got on the wrong street and wound up taxiing back to hotel.

Tomorrow - Montserrat.

Caroline will probably be joining you at Hard Rock tomorrow. Eilean and I probably not.

Safe travels, all!

Hi everyone! I´m trying to type on a Spanish keyboard (extra characters) from our hotel in Barca, while suffering from jetlag/lack of sleep from a cattle-barge flight last night, and trying to counteract it with strong coffee. Not working.

Could someone in the FE who can access the Google page please email a copy of the FE groups to Dizneecrazee? You might need to PM her for her email addy, as I don´t have it and she´s not listed in the Google members. I can´t get in - it keeps asking me for my phone number in Spanish, then telling me it´s wrong. At least, I think that´s what it´s saying. Thank you in advance and I´ll owe you a FAB/RAB on board.

I may try to access it through my computer if I can get the hotel wifi to work - after I´ve had a good night´s sleep! Barcelona was gorgeous today. All we managed was a nap and a quick walk around. Must get sleep. Now. See you all on Saturday, if not before!

[TotallyAngelic]

Last minute packing in progress ... then bed as we have to be up at 4am to go to the airport. Probably the last time I will check in now so see you all real soon ... and safe travels to alll still to fly out

 

[auntlynne]

36 hours from now, most of us will be on the ship, checking in, or worst case, scrambling to get to Barcelona.
