PS - sorry if I am posted a lot - my multi quote isn't working this morniong

Don't worry Sarah. Mine doesn't work at all when I'm in work for no apparent reason! At home its fine!

Yeah managed to get Virgin for £400 each - got a discount cause of being a Virgin card holder so bit better than nothing. Still a lot but for us time wise it works best. Still wish wed got a points one then it would have been a lot less.

You would have had to pay quite a bit in taxes even if you had used points. At least it is much far better than the normal one way fare!!!

I think I can start looking for reward flights from next week.

Yeah I know that's what I figured! We were lucky cause the one discount voucher I had ran out next week and I hadn't realised so it was really good!

Lynne - you sound like me! I tend to look at life expecting the worst - then when good things happen I am pleasantly surprised !!!!

I like to think that life is front row seats to the greatest circus in the world. Some times it is the sad part of the show but if we keep our eyes open we'll see the good times.

So where are we in the planning stages. People seem to be dropping like flies. I got another email today from someone else who is most likely bowing out. Maybe the price will reduce

Good deal!!! was such a great deal with the points.

May I ask how many points it is for a cat 11?

We are having a DCL Houseparty Saturday. We are getting very excited. Today I shampooed the carpet then made up some Konk Koolers.....we had to try them to make sure they will be good. They ARE!! We are planning on having food from around the ship. Shrimp from the welcome aboard buffet, chicken fingers from deck 9, hot wings from the sports bar, banana bread from Parrot Cay, Mickey rice crispie treats, chocolate cups with strawberries from Cove Cafe, tomato basil soup (not sure where that is served), skewers of cheese, meat and olives also from Cove Cafe. A sail away party with Konk Koolers!! Trivia game after we show the DVD they sent us (the answers are in the DVD). We are expecting 12-15 besides Dennis and I.

We had been watching fares for a few weeks - even before we changed our September plans to the WBTA. They were outrageous for a one way from Atlanta to BCN.

We found on the other night that wsa a KLM flight with a 2 hour layover in Amsterdam. Decided to sleep on it... Bad, bad, bad... Flights gone in the morning...

I wasn't overly worried - I knew I had time. But I was getting worried about price... Then today I took another look and found a one stop Atlanta to London to BCN for $547 US. I was ready to hit confirm when I got an email from tripadvisor.com for a non stop ATl to BCN for $598 US!!! NON STOP!!!

I killed the window I was in and quickly read the terms... It was a little scary, non changeable and all that... But, we had the airline (AirFrance on Delta equipment) so we went for it. Within about 30 seconds from getting the confirmation that we had been ticketed I had a confirmation email of the tickets - including the eticket numbers. And I have confirmed on the AirFrance web site that we were indeed on the flight (which Delta is changing $2500 for. Well, I just got off the phone with AirFrance and while it isn't customary to let the deeply discounted purchasers choose seats, the rep at AirFrance let us as we are a family. 5 minutes later I had eTickets!!

So, no turning back now!! 308 days til we head to Barcelona!!! WAHOO!!! Can we start packing yet?

And here I thought you were just trying to catch Marilyn in post counts.

You noticed?? Blame the May '08 Panama Canal cruise for that!! Plus I multi posted too with being in the UK and having to catch up on the US overnight postings!!

I think Marilyn must live here - no way will I ever make up that many posts!

But still no TAG from the Tag Fairy!!!!!!

me neither : (

Thats a great deal for Virgin - I was looking at paying that sort of fare for a non-stop. £588 pp was the best I could get for Virgin so I gave up. Its just great to have flights booked at last!

Thats a really good outlook on life

Wish we could come - it sounds wonderful! Do you have the recipe for the ACTUAL Parrot Cay banana bread - that was to die for - I was stuffed before I even started my meal in Parrot Cay because I couldn't stop eating that bread! I would have loved to have a DCL house party but they don't let us Brits do it

Well done! Wish I could come. Didn't get to host one again this year but then again think they don't allow UK people to host them!
