Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.2

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi all,

just got back from moms. We had a good visit this weekend. She still knows who I am although the dimenta has progressed quite a bit. She was very happy even though she was not making sense. Thats ok, as long as she was happy, then I am happy.

Plus my youngest daughter informed me I am to be a grandma again!!
So later my posting name may change to grandma x5
I was due for some good news

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Off to bed, I am pooped!!

Wouldn't it be awesome if our Sailaway Party and Disney Magic's European Farewell was like this?!!!

WOW - thats just amazing! I plan to go and see the Magic arrive in the UK for the first time ever in 2010 but I doubt if the boring old UK will do anything like that to welcome her in!

Congratulations Kathy on your baby news and glad to hear your Mom is doing ok.

I am off for a week's annual leave and was planning to get lots of jobs done at home and in the garden. The weather has been lovely here for about 2 weeks but guess what I have woken up to this morning -its pouring with rain! TYPICAL!

Just checking in. We have gotten very busy because our son has changed his wedding date from June 5, 2010 to August 15, 2009. I was lucky enough to be able to use our DVC points to get a week at Animal Kingdom savanah view on such short notice for their honeymoon. Things are getting busy quickly with dress shopping and rehersal dinner planning, reception planning, and everything else. I think the hardest thing is getting him to sit down and figure out who he wants to invite. We are looking forward to adding a daughter-in-law and love her dearly.

Congratulations! Hope it goes OK!

Howdy all,
headed back to moms to continue packing up her things so we can sell her place. I'll be back late sunday.
So have a great weekend everyone, the sun is shinning here and NO rain all weekend

One queston for those of you who have cruised the TA before.

Do they have a currency exchange on the ship ?
I know we can use our credit card for souvenirs but I often just see a little cheap thing for a couple bucks and dont want to use a CC for that. So we will need some cash.
Do they exchange for us on board ? or do some places accept american money?

Thanks for your help everyone,

Kathy

Yes they do have one. No where will accept US money except in the Caribbean. Also Gibraltar accepts both Euros and British Pounds. The other locations are all Euros I believe so only need 1 other currency.

Hi everyone: It has been a while since I posted. I have been trying to read all the previous posts (and not getting very far). Slow reader i guess.

We are getting ready to take my 2 DGDs on the Magic in June, it will be their first time on a ship. Bethanie is 14 and Caitlin is 9 and they are the light of my life. I decided to take them on a cruise because last year when we went to WDW in December they just didn't seam to have as much fun as they had in the past. They missed their mother too much. Its been 2 years now since my daughter died and I am hoping that they will be able to enjoy themselves more.

I never thought I would be able to aford a TA cruise but the rates were very reasonable, the flights are costing almost as much as the cruise. We are hoping to bring Bethanie along on this cruise, if we can get it aproved by ther school. Her 16th birthday will be Sept 20, 2010. It would make a great birthday present. Of course that will mean that I have to plan a special cruise for Caitlin for her 16th birthday in Oct of 2015. I guess that is the kind of thing that Grandmothers are for.

I am so looking foward to this cruise, and getting to meet the people who have been posting on these boards for over a year for a cruise that is still more than a year away. I probably will not post very often, I am not very good on the computer, my daughter is the expert. I will be lurking and keeping up with everything that is going on. Michelle will be getting us on the roll call list soon, she promised, with her help I did get on the map. Maybe this post will get us to the end of this thead, sepecialy since it is taking me so long to compose it.

That's all for now Magie

Hi Magie Welcome

Hello transatlantic cruisers!!

I haven't posted a note yet on this thread, although it was this thread that got me interested enough to book this cruise. I kept seeing the date of my 60th birthday and then I told my best friend forever, Terry and then we found out the cruise would be in St. Marteen on her birthday and next thing you know, we're booked!

Terry, aka my BFF aka tinker1bell has posted here and shared that we will indeed be on this cruise. To say I'm excited is an understatement. I have not gone back and read every post from both threads (although Terry did!), but I figured it was time for me to drop in and say hi! Especially since Terry is hellbent on sending in a photo...

So, here I am, the other half of the spa twins. Excited to get to know everyone in the coming year.

Hiya. Welcome onboard.

 

[gismo1554]

Good luck with the move.

Corinna

Thanks Corinna. Move went fine. Back in the land of the living but no internet at home for next 3 weeks as we have no phone line!!! Still can surf this site in work thank God. Flat is lovely and although we've only unpacked 2 rooms it feels like home!

 

[gismo1554]

We plan on flying into Barcelona on Friday. There would be a place to exchange our money at the airport, right? I know the rate would suck, but it would be easier that trying to find a bank...

Have a great weekend

There will be a place in Barcelona airport but yes the rate wont be brilliant. I would try and get it before you go as you get the best rates

 

[gismo1554]

Good luck with the move Sarah, hope it goes well!

Thanks!

Wouldn't it be awesome if our Sailaway Party and Disney Magic's European Farewell was like this?!!!

God I wish! Last time leaving port was a non-event! They had sailaway in the lobby and it was boring!

lol typical UK weather!

Maybe we should try to do a mini UK meet in time for the arrival of Magic in UK

 

[gismo1554]

OK anyone any idea when this thread will be closed? Felt sure I would have pushed it to close but its still going lol

I now have a big lump in my throat. This is so nice.

I would be up for that. I really want to go see the Magic at Dover. DH can't understand why.

We need to fill another 14 pages yet. Threads get closed when they reach 250 pages.

I saw video of that as well. I would have been VERY disappointed as well!! However, I did hear on the video that at the end of the "lobby party" they mentioned the rain was letting up outside. Do you or others on the '07 WBTA recall if that may have been the reason for the disappointing departure?

I'm hopeful those of you who were on the '07 EBTA can let us live vicariously through you with your account of that awesome welcoming!

What a great idea - there must be hundreds of UK Disney Magic fans who are hoping to welcome the Magic to the UK! We ar definitely up for it as long as it doesn't clash with any of DS's GCSE exams.

No I think they hadn't organised anything big. Didn't help we left during the day time. I think because were going at night we might have a better event but still not sure on that one. I'm hoping they do something like the EBTA again!

 

[gismo1554]

Well I guess we will be having a UK meet on the 12th June 2010 at around 6am lol

I saw this after they posted in 2007. Still love it! Somehow I don't think they will be doing anything that big either for the EB or the WB (since they've already been there - done that). It will be different to be leaving at night though so I wonder if at least a little something might happen??

Plus my youngest daughter informed me I am to be a grandma again!!
Kathy

Congrats!!!!
