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

[gismo1554]

My problem is I met many people with work, however with me some aren't in a good way. So, it usually takes me awhile to figure out if I know someone from a good meeting or bad meeting.

The best was a couple years ago friends invited us over for thanksgiving diner. They were having some family over as well. Anyways we were sitting at the table having diner when our friends mentioned what I do. Well, Uncle "Terry" says "I got arrested a two years ago, the officer was a nice guy, he wanted to release me that night but his boss wouldn't let him"

Guess what, I was the one that arrested him. He didn't recognize me, but I recognized him.

Thants absolutely briliant!

My kids were always really social so that is one worry I never had. In the old days there weren't as many activities for kids but kids always found something to do.

As for my GK's, I know they never, ever wanted to leave the kids clubs, especially my GS as he met a friend who loved sports and video games as much he does. Both GD's met girls their own age and wanted to be with them 24/7.

I can remember the a cruise with our youngest DD when she was about 2 when she went to the kids area on the Big Red Boat for the first time. DH and I were so thrilled just to have a few hours by ourselves. What did we do? We took a long, leisurely nap!! I remember just having the time to relax and nap meant more to us than a night on the town.

oh, an afternoon "nana nap" would be fantastic! We'd both love that!

I have big news!!!!!

Congratulations! That's exciting, must look into this one day!

I don't get on here as much as I wish. You are all very talkative, but I try to keep up. I am trying to get organized, so thought I would throw out a few questions that are on my mind and see what you all thought.

1. Places to eat in Barcelona? I am going to take a look on Zagat.com for some places, but thought some of you may have some suggestions. I am staying at the Hotel Praktik Rambla - 9/6-9/8.
2. What are you using for a day bag for excursions? I have an LL Bean day pack I got for the Med Cruise I did in 2007, but was in the market for something new. I would like it to have a side pocket for my camelback water bottle (preferably adjustable - as my bottle kept falling out of my day pack) and large enough to carry my small digital camera and Flip video camera; as well as a journal, pen, sunglasses, ipod, cell phone, etc.

OK so this isn't going to be very up to date but Dan has a recommendation for

Can Ramonet

He thinks this is where him and his mates ate in 2008 but not 100% sure. It does however appear on the Times newspaper 2007 list of best tapas in Barcelona - Link

If we get bumped to a different Category which is different then we will be part of this. Don't see the point in just having another Cat 11 though do you?

I think Tony is debating the 5K run ... I will wait at the bar .

I have just been nosing over on the EBTA meet thread and found an idea which may be worth borrowing. They are having a DIS group lunch at one of the restaurants on the last sea day ..... when they are doing all the awards and a secret mickey reveal. This would mean we could give out all our awards .... best FE, decorated door, scavenger hunt prizes, anything else we decide upon at one time in one place. It is also likely to be easier to organise than doing it in the evening when we all ahve differen seatings and there are shows etc. What do you think.

The other thing I saw which seemed good was they are judging their decorated door etc using a ballot form which each participating cabin fills in and then returns to the competition organisers cabin. Might be easier than having individuals judging the doors, as we will all have to pass by the doors and FEs when dropping off our exchange gifts.

What do you think ?????????

 

[su_kraft]

I don't get alot of time alone with my DH, so will also cherish every moment the kids are at kids club! Fingers crossed they love it, they are both pretty sociable, but the youngest can get clingy if she's not comfortable.


I hope you don't see my youngest throw one! SHe doesn't do it very often, actually we haven't had one for months now, but being out of routine, tired, over stimulated and eating waaayyyy too much sugar is a good recipe for one! She puts on a good show though!

Sounds like we need to get our little ones together... Mine can be clingy and shy - but the minute she knows someone she is fine... I figure the kids clubs wont be as busy, so maybe she will make a few friends and actually want to go and stay for more than an hour or two here and there so DH and I can have adult time...

Sounds good!

 

[Steffy]

Thank goodness we have known each other for over 21 years that you can still recognize me!!!!

Thanks goodness I have you and can whisper, who is that? and you will say, that's so and so, remember from breakfast?? Or that's my cousin that you sat beside at the wedding. Or isn't that your neighbor???

OK, I don't know if I'm out of depth here, but I am happy to attempt to organise the PJ breakfast. So, I'm assuming a sea day will be best, maybe towards the end of the cruise when people are more comfortable with each other, then we might get some real slept in PJ's, not the freshly iron and primped ones we're likely to have in the beginning? OK, So PM me if you interested and I'll go from there?

Sounds great, My DD's will be 8 & 9, the 8 years old birthday is 3 day before the cruise. They love playing with all age groups. My little one is a real girly girl who adores Minnie Mouse, the older one is into music, star wars and "cool stuff"! Hopefully they'll make friends quickly and we can get some serious adult time in.

Im sure youll manage wonderfully! Not much to do bar choose a date and time and collate names. Youll probably need to let DCL know but don't know if this needs to be done until onboard?
