Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.4

[TotallyAngelic]

I am just getting excited about getting onboard.
What tcan we get on board?
What time are you going onboard?
What are you going to EAT when you get onboard?

I dont really need to know I just want to chat about getting on the MAGIC

I will be on board at the very earliest opportunity ...... and will eat at Topsiders outside in the fresh air ... don't know what I will eat but likely salads, fruit, chicken and dessert!

We have been going through our old Passporter and getting very excited

Also checking out things on TripAdvisor but this has got me a bit worried:

http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUser...-The_Rock_of_Gibraltar-Gibraltar.html#REVIEWS

I am not a big fan of large apes at the best of times and I will be avoiding these as much as possible. I do want to go up to the top of the Rock but hopefully won't meet any of these guys along the way especially after reading this:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...italised-attack-rampaging-apes-Gibraltar.html

It is amazing and well worth the visit. The craftsmanship is breathtaking. The Casa Batllo is also worth seeing. I am not big into architecture, but I was amazed at how Gaudi was years ahead of his time. Thank you for posting the links maybe there is some stuff there I have not seen.

I am looking forward to Tapas and Sangria. I really enjoyed that

I haven't had any Tapas and quite like the idea of it but NOT if it is seafood. The same goes for Paella. While I can eat prawns I do not like any of the shellfish or squid type things. Sangria is also a big "no no" as it would give me a massive headache being red wine based. I guess I won't be immersing myself in the Spanish culinary culture too much

LOL - too funny! Like the chatty 10 -15 pages every 36 hours isn't enough... It is yet another DISorder of sorts...

But, Im game...
We are boarding as soon as the bus gets us there and they let us
I am NOT fighting for a table at lunch at Topsiders, I am dragging the family to PC so we can sit...
Not sure I care about what I am eating on board... I do want to imerse myself in Spain though, so the 2 days prior will be an assortment of Spanish foods and red wine...

Heres some more...
How soon will you be unpacked?
(for me it takes about 30 minutes after luggage arrives)
How fast with your FE be hanging up?
(Ours will be in the carry on luggage - so pretty fast)
How fast will magnets make the door?
(These too will be in the carry on...)
How soon will you find your favorite CM?
(Not sure on this one - we will be looking for Maricar (stateroom) and Victor (bar) as we have cruised with them before. I also want to look for Eva (Dining room) Zan (head server) and Pascal (Chef) but those may have to wait until Dinner...

Who else has the DISorder today?

We do

Would take about 30 mins to unpack. FE hanging up and magnets on door, round about the same time. We will be looking out for the wonderful Dennis, our server from last time, but our assistant server Laura moved to the Wonder, so we won't see her unfortunately.

Next question .... What does everyone plan to do in Gibraltar?

I went back through the boards and came up with the following people expressing an interest. Naturally, this is tentative until we decide when (if) we're going to do it.

mdwoodman (2) – 17th
birkner (2) - either
KermitRocks
pjpoohbear
Terapin – 17th?
TotallyAngellic (2) – 16th
MrsMork
nacho1337 – 17th
1DisneyQueen (6) - 17th

DW (hotfudgesundae)and I would be interested in this as well, we are arriving on the 17th

My computer at work gave up on me last week and the IT guy only just got me a replacement today and as I read the Dis mostly at lunch at work I have a lot to catch up , you guys are moving along at a fast pace.

Marilyn we hope everything goes well for you.

We are on late seating and are willing to do our bit for transatlantic relations, two geezers, leaving our 2 grown children 3 DGDs at home

We are staying at our home resort of SSR for four nights but will be doing F&W at Epcot, we have done the last two and really like the festival.

My husband and I would be interested in the Hard Rock Cafe get together. We are looking forward to meeting everyone.

Who else has the DISorder today?

Me, I have it every day

think they have any good mats in the kids club? Or just beanbag chairs to land on?

Does that mean no adults are allowed

I think the menus will be the same.

Not sure about the formal nights; I heard they were different on the last TransAtlantic cruises.

Woody

That means I will be bugging the poor others dissers to post them!

ARRG, I have been trying to book our flight on Southwest and it will only let me book March and April. Anyone else having this problem? AirTran has great prices to Boston and from Orlando, but I wanted to see if Southwest was better.

I was able to book our trip yesterday with no problems! Hope it's working today!!

After I hear my name as I come on board, Parrot Cay for us too.

Depending on what I bring, 30 min to an hour. I have to unpack for my PM too!!!
That will go on as I am going into the stateroom.
The magnets will go on after the FE.
We have not sailed on the Magic so I think my first favorite one will be our stateroom steward and then up at the bar for the first of my Drink o Day and to meet the bartender there!!!

Thanks for including me! My name is Kelly - so you were right. No need for the question mark

And I am more than willing to let anyone heckle me as long as they meet me at the finish line with a Konk Kooler!

Dont blame them!!

 

[Steffy]

Okay.... so here's my DisOrder!

As soon as they sing Happy Birthday to me as I walk onto the ship, we will head over to Parrot Cay.
Terry will hang the FE as I open the door.
Terry and I will hang the magnets as soon as we oh and ah the room and take pictures.
It probably will take me about 30 minutes to unpack.
Then I'm walking up the stairs to start on my drink o day.
Then I'm taking my drink to the spa and scheduling my stone massage if I haven't been able to do it online. (Have a feeling Terry will be right with me!)

I want to walk around the ship a little and take pictures. Then I want to find a deck chair and sip my second drink o day.

I just can't wait!!!

[steamboat will]

But my big dream would be to go to St Vincent and Dominica in the Caribbean to visit the Pirates of the Caribbean locations.

The forth film is due to start filming (later this year i think) in Cornwall! maybe you could arrange a trip to see the locations there, who knows you might even run into johnny!

Oh good lord! How the heck am I supposed to keep up with you crazy people on here?!?! You can't go more than 12 hours off the boards before there's 10 pages of posts!! (I have procrastinating catching up for several days now and you're about 25 pages ahead of me and so I'm just not going to be able to catch up....I'll try to jump back in here!)

We were away last weekend taking my cheerleaders to their National Championships in Orlando...and I'm pleased to say that we finished up an undefeated season on a high note by winning at nationals! (And one of my freshman girls entered individuals for her age group and she won in her division, as well, which was quite an accomplishment!)

Congrats and job well done to you and your troupe.

You are right this is a talkative group and I am sure it's only going to get more chatty as the few remaining months pass by.

[steamboat will]

I have been trying to catch up on posts. And noticed a few about candy and players and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. Of where these posts are.

Paulasillars has stepped upto the plate to oversee the organisation on the candy swap. Basically we're going to be spilt into groups and each bring a candy bar of our choice for each member of your group. I think it's still open to new joiners.

Jump back to Page 136 post 2033, there you'll find a list of players and i'm sure you can PM Paulasillars to join in on the fun. Be sure to include how many people in your party will be playing along too.

Well the MRI went well and I was fine. 30 minutes in the scanner and the worst part was holding my breath for some of the longer scans!! Not sure if I will hear anything before my April 28th appointment, but I guess that would be good news!!! Just wish I could rush things on a bit though.

I'm glad to hear your MRI is done. I've had my fair share of MRI and waiting to find out the results is not fun. Hopefully you will hear something soon.

Way to go, Erik! That is so cool!!!

As far as the 5K, I'll have to watch from the sidelines. I have had my ACL reconstructed 3 times (twice on my left knee, once on my right) and I'm not allowed to run without my knee braces, which are very uncomfortable and cumbersome - they won't be making the trip for sure. Best of luck to everyone running though!

My mom had knee surgery yesterday (it was just a scope) and she felt wonderful all day yesterday. Very little pain - she said it felt like a dull toothache. I went back up to my parent's this morning before my dad left for work so I could stay with her and all of the sudden the pain hit her like a ton of bricks. She was in so much pain today and I felt so badly for her. She has been taking her pain meds but it's not helping. My sister and dad are on Mommy duty tonight and then I'll take over tomorrow morning again. She has physical therapy and is very nervous because she knows it's going to hurt. I really dont' like seeing my mom in pain...

Dave thinks he may have caught a cold from his friend so I have a sick husband and a hurting mom...not a fun combination!

I like the look of this boat trip in Madeira:

http://www.madeira-web.com/PagesUK/santa-maria.html

I vetoed any boat excursions - I figure I'll have plenty of time on the water when we cross!

 

[mdwoodman]

Here's the updated list:

mdwoodman (2) – 17th
birkner (2) - either
KermitRocks (2)
pjpoohbear
Terapin – 17th?
TotallyAngellic (2) – 16th
MrsMork (2) – either (prefer 17th)
nacho1337 – 17th
1DisneyQueen (6) - 17th
Dizneyholic (2)
orlandothebeagle (2, maybe 4) – either
dolphingirl47 (2) – 17th
su_kraft (2+2) – either
epcot1stfave (2) – 17th
coconut1 (2)

As I was trying to catch up (long flights today), I realised that as I was going from one page to the next, sometimes someone would post and that would cause older posts to drop from one page to another. So, without going back through all of them, it's possible that I may have missed someone. No slight intended! Just let me know.

It looks like the 17th is the favorite. Now, we need to narrow it down to a time. I know some people will be on tours during the day, so we probably don't want to start it too early. Plus, most restaurants in Spain don't open for dinner until 8 or 9 pm (I guess that's why tapas are so popular!). Perhaps 4 or 5 (that would be 1600 or 1700 for our international friends)

Just throwing it out there, let me know what you think.

Do you need lap counters while you train on deck 4, we can hold up cards with numbers from the blue deck chairs, lol.
