Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.10

[Buckeye Gal]

Scrapbooking Exchange

Note the deadline to sign-up was July 16, so the participant list is closed.

Sandi (Hoagie Pie) has organized an exchange for the scrapbookers of the group! The idea is to give a scrapbooking embellishment for use in your scrapbooks after you return home!

Here are some answers to FAQs:

• Deadline to sign-up was EOD July 16.
• You don't have to spend a lot or any money towards this exchange.
• The gift can be homemade, already in your scrapbooking inventory, or purchased.
• Some ideas include page borders, journaling boxes, photo frames, titles for pages, and small embellishments.
• Your gift can have a theme related to something you do on the ship (games, dining, pirating, etc.), our ports-of-call, cruising in general, Disney, or whatever else comes to mind.

If you have questions, contact Sandi (Hoagie Pie)!

{Original Survey Posted July 24}

Mickey Mouse Club Night

Assuming the new dining schedule is correct, Do NOT remember the date, September 28. Do NOT do this!

Instead, remember DISers are a PERFECT 10!
So we will now wear our shirts on NIGHT 10, aka September 27, aka PJ Breakfast Day. Don't forget your ears! ​

If you would like to participate, and we hope we have many, check out Post #1 on how to acquire your MMC shirts!!

While in Barcelona Thursday night, several of us are planning to meet at Praktik Rambla Hotel to walk over to the Metro Station or buddy up in taxis to go as a group to the Font Màgica light show.

€ € € Transportation costs are on you! € € €

If you would like to join the group (good idea for safety reasons), here are the details:

What: Magic Fountain Light Show; first show at 9:30 pm
When: Thursday, September 16, 2010
Time: 20:15 aka 8:15 pm
Gathering Location: Praktik Rambla Hotel located at Rambla de Catalunya, 27
"Sign Up": Of course you can change your mind about going, but so we have a good idea of who we should look out for, it would be great if you sign up for the Event on our website and note if you'll be at the hotel or meet at the fountain.

Alternative Gathering Location: If it's more convenient to go directly to the Magic Fountain, you can try to meet us up there.

Exactly Where?: Southeast end of the walkway over Avenguda de Rius i Taulet (at the SE end of Avenguda de la Reina Maria Cristina); this is the north side of the fountain

Google Map: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=magic+fountain,+Spain&sll=41.366825,2.16671&sspn=0.033238,0.060682&g=Montjuich,+Barcelona,+Spain&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Magic+Fountain+of+Montju%C3%AFc,+08038+Barcelona,+Spain&ll=41.371503,2.151529&spn=0.002077,0.003793&t=h&z=18; remember to meet at the walkway noted, not the "A" mark on the map!

I'll take a purple grape colored umbrella with neon yellow ribbons hanging from the top of it and have it held up in hopes you find us. So look for the umbrella held high in the sky.

Alternative Date: There are others who are planning to go Friday after the DIS Meets at the Hard Rock Cafe as well, however, they will not be meeting at Praktik Rambla Hotel.

Let me introduce the traveling twins, Anita and Ivanna Cruz!

Anita (pink shirt) & Ivanna (DIS green shirt) Cruz​

WHAT: I've got a challenge for you!
WHO: The traveling twins, Anita and Ivanna Cruz
WHERE: They will be placed in my Fish Extender at Stateroom 2004. I'm already on the "Come See Me" list in the DIS Navigator, so when you think about coming to sign my scrapbook page, please see if Anita or Ivanna are there, too.
WHEN: All voyage long
WHY: I ask you to take one of the twins on an adventure, take a picture of what she was up to, then return her back to my stateroom for her to await another escapade with another one of you crazy characters!

Anita and Ivanna like to have fun, so I trust you'll give them a good time!! ;-)

After the cruise, you can email me the pictures, post them on FB, our group flickr site, or on DISboards.

I hope you play along!
THANK YOU!!!

LOADING E-NAVIGATOR TO ANY DEVISE WITH A PDF READER.

Apple devises, have iBook or other PDF reader app installed. Save the electronic navigator from Sarah's post above, http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=38064648&postcount=19, then e-mail it to yourself. When you open the file on your apple devise you should be asked where you want to open it, I put mine in both iBook and AirShare Pro.

On other devises, I am not sure, perhaps it is just a file you need to sync with/ save to your devise and then it will be available since it is a PDF. Sorry haven't had other devises yet to play with.

The captain would be so proud of us making it to 10!!!!!

Geez, I thought maybe they would let us go on 9 until we leave but I guess we got way to chatty for them since we were close to 5000 posts.

ATTENTION ST MAARTEN BERNARD TOUR MEMBERS

I heard from Betty and she suggested we just meet at 8:45 AM in front of the yellow building at the information desk next to the statue as described by Bernard above in his email in post #2

Bernard said the building was about three minutes walk from the pier. When we have all arrived, one of us will walk up to the Information Desk and ask for Bernard to tell him we have all arrived.

I will have signs for the drivers for the tour leaders. I plan on wearing my DIS Lanyard for identification.

See you on the Magic!!

Vent ahead; you can skip it if you want.

Seriously why does shopping have to be such a pain?? It is so stressful as I can never find what I need or want. Then I end up buying stuff because I don't care and just want something that might work even though I totally dislike it. I don't think it would be quite so bad if I was within normal sizing charts but I am unfortunately not and it is just a royal pain. But even when I weighed about 50 pounds less I still struggled to find clothing. But even stuff that should be easy to locate was definitely not today.

Some of the reason for needing to shop now is due to my surgery I have incision sites at 5 different places/heights and things that fit before now pull and rub at places even though I weigh less then I did before the surgery.

Now to wash the stuff I got and then unto packing which I dislike as much or more. While stuff is washing I am watching Lilo and Stitch and hoping my luggage packs itself.

I hope everyone's packing and planning is going well.

 

[AlexandNessa]

Wow, I need to catch up on Part 9!

But anyway ....


Happy and safe travels to all who are leaving imminently or already left! For all of you who have friended Mike on Facebook, he updates me every morning: Sarah says only 4 days left! Pam is all packed! He has an iPhone so he has mobile facebook. I'm tethered and not on FB a whole lot.

I showed Mike the DIS Navigator, and he was really impressed that folks were bringing extra meds and their room #s were listed in case anyone needed some. Then he looks at me deadpan and asks, "Who's got the extra heroin?"


Now, can someone come please clean my house so I don't come home to a pig stye? OKthanksbye!

Went to the old thread and saw it was closed. Too far behind to answer anyone so if anything important happened, will someone please PM me?

I thought we were done packing including our toiletries. However, John is still making door magnets. He weighed the magnetic paper in one of our suitcase and I have paid Air Berlin for the extra baggage. If he is wrong about he weight, he will just have to "wear" the magnets in his photography vest!!

By my calculations we are still ahead on air fare as the flight to Frankfurt is essentially free since it only cost $5.00 for the two of us though I wish I would not have had to ship a bag!!

All that is left after the magnet printing is get our mani/pedi's in the AM. Hopefully, that will relax both of us. We will have a late lunch and then proceed to the airport to hang out in the Red Carpet Club.

Bags are packed, in the hall and ready to put into the car in the morning. Here is a picture of our packed bags and Pal Mickey:

Sounds like you could've used Clinton Kelly and Tim Gunn on your shopping excursion!

Sorry you didn't have a gratifying retail therapy experience.

Please take pics if John goes through security with the magnets on his vest!

Look at you all organized ... I have random packing cubes strewn about the house!

 

[alexandmaddie]

We are packed!!

That is all, carry on...

 

[birkner]

Please take pics if John goes through security with the magnets on his vest!

The only place he would have to put the magnets in his vest is Germany!! We have plenty of room for them in the USA. I am really only kidding, he would take out all of his camera lenses, put them in his vest and put the magnets in the carry on.

Look at you all organized ... I have random packing cubes strewn about the house!

You would be organized if you had been packing and unpacking for two weeks and had to leave tomorrow!! I am not sacrificing a manicure to packing!!
