Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.5

[Terapin]

Originally, I was thinking that a person could volunteer to gather the information together that was posted by the group on a particular port and just keep adding to a post.... like the one I started for Gibraltar... and just link to the port posts on one of the page 1 posts.

Now after posting as little as I did for Gibraltar, I can see that that post is going to be humongous.

Do you think we can start separate threads for each of the ports???

If we can, would we do it here in meets or on the main board?

Seems like it would be nice if we had a ports board instead of each cruise doing the same work all over again!

Comments? Ideas?

Fab idea!

Just sent PM to a couple of Cruise Board mods to see if they have any suggestions. Let you know what they say!

I love the sound of this one! It really does sound wonderful!

Me too! What is the website please? Might really work for us: easy transportation (assuming bus), admissions all paid, no work figuring out how to get there, etc. (Referring to the Barcelona all-in-one tour)

Good idea. I hope they can help.

Haven't signed on for a couple of days and had a hard time finding you.

Yesterday I had an endoscopic ultrasound and biopsy of the growth on my pancreas and can you believe after the third test it is still not 100% certain that it is not a cancerous growth. The good news is the doctor was able to drain all the fluid off the growth and they will have the results in a couple of days. He did say he is almost 100% certain it is a benign cyst, but it has to be watched on a yearly basis if the biosy results are negative. He seemed pretty positive so I have decided I am not going to worry about it and take it as it comes. I am just tired of having tests done. This was test number 4. I did tell him if the biopsy is positive he has to get me so I travel for this cruise and he said he did not see why we cold not do that. Just thinking positive thoughts.

Because of everything I have been going through with this Joi told me to upgrade us from a cat 9 to a cat 5 so I did and paid in full. I am really looking forward to this cruise.

Seeing good health wishes your way!

Hi just read a post on the main cruise line board that someone from the UK has had an e mail from amazon UK that they cannot get any copies of Passporters DCL 2010 and they are dropping it from the listings. We had a copy ordered and wonderimg if anyone else has heard anything,

DW has not heard anything apart from one saying they were experiencing a delay with the publisher.

I had contacted them about a week ago to get an update and they told me:


"The 2010 edition of our Disney Cruise guide is undergoing major revision -- significantly more than we anticipated -- and we're still working on it. That means we won't make our projected late April release date (more like mid-to-late May). We will, however, make an e-book version available as soon as we can."

I'd like to have it a bit before the booking window opens.

I love those table decorations .... have never thought of decorating for easter but those are really cute. Did you make them?





Sorry to hear that you are going through the ordeal and uncertainty of tests again Donna. Sending and that everything comes back positive with the results. Good news on the upgrade, definitely something to look forward to.



me too ......


Great news Pam



Tom and Marilou. Page 1 is the place to go for lots of activities and information. We also have www.transatlanticpirates.com



Sorry to hear this news Maureen but hope to cruise with you again in the future.



Welcome back Karen .... sorry to hear you have been through difficult times recently Page 1 should fill you in on all the activites and events we have planned so far.



Still emptu skies over us this morning .... and we are on a flight path for Liverpool airport. It has been so strange seeing no vapour trails during all these clear days.

I decorate for every holiday and have bins and bins of decorations. Most of those decorations I purchased. I always have table glitter on the tables to make it even more festive.

If the weather is nice you could walk along the promenade to the cable car, but if time is an element, then the hop on bus mentioned would be better, then you would have time for something else. Photo opportunities from the cable car are very good!!!



How about just noting post numbers(and threads if we move on again as no doubt we will) so we can find them if necessary?

I think we may stick to the DCL excursion to make sure we can do the cable car.

I received an email yesterday saying the Passporter was delayed until May 2010.

Here's a link to a Gibraltar webcam showing the Magic!!

I guess it does....the 2006 11 night Southern, 2007 WBTA and 2010 WBTA.....

The question is whos stalking who lol!

 

[gismo1554]

Hello fellow WB cruisers....my DW and I have been on 22 Disney cruises but none quite like this one coming up.....we have always gotten the Magic or the Wonder in Florida so it will be so different flying to Barcelona and then joining the Magic....we have done everything through Disney so we have no idea the specifics of our flights just yet....heck....we have a GTY stateroom so we have no idea where we will be on the ship....but we WILL BE ON the ship and that is all that matters. I am 57 and DW is 53.....and so looking forward to a 14 day voyage....If you guys could kind of catch us up to speed on the goings on it would be appreciated....cause it would probably take months to read the whole threat from the beginning.
We are so looking forward to joining you all for this fabulous cruise!
Tom & Marilou

Welcome! Glad to see some more people joining us!

I took a good look at the volume of work in my job for the months of Sept and Oct and I have decided for my own sanity that it wouldn't be a good idea to take off for two weeks the end of Sept. I am so sad right now but hopefully we will get to cruise together sometime in the future I am actually thinking about the May 2011 EBTA.

Have a wonderful cruise everyone. I will still be reading all your posts and may pop in once in awhile to say "HI"

Oh Maureen that sucks! Im sure though youve made the right decision for you!

 

[gismo1554]

Hi Sarah, I hope your feeling better

I am so excited for you! Have a blast!

Such a beautiful colour!

Fingers crossed for you, and sending positive vibes.

Go to the first page of this thread to get all the info you'll need

Sorry to hear that. There will be more cruises

Thanks! I do feel a lot better today! My voice keeps going though which is very annoying!

 

[gismo1554]

Hello Everyone, I haven't been on for while due health, moving and funerals. I see we got to a new thread. Does anyone think I should go back to finish the last thread i was on page 235 to get caught up? Or do you all just want to give the highlights? Thankx Karen

Just head on over to page 1 and you should be able to catch up on most things!

 

[gismo1554]

Today I woke up post nightshift, I seen a plane flying past, i shouted, look look !!!

It was the ONLY one to arrive in edinburgh nearly all day and I spotted it
NOT that I plane spot all day or anything

Lol The excitement this morning when I saw the vapour trails was so over the top for me lol! My boss in work spent all day moaning that shell never see a perfectly blue sky above us again!

 

[gismo1554]

I'm having one of those "I feel old" days.
LOL

Ruby just up and got a job, y'all!
LOL
I wasn't expecting it to happen so quickly.......
She's piddling along not wanting to make the effort to finish the driving course (online) and take the driving test to get her license- and we got her the car for Christmas- she could have got her license almost 2mo ago... if she'd got on the ball!
(what kid doesn't want to drive as soon as they can- especially when they have a car handed to them? what is wrong with this girl? LOL)
so I thought- I'm gonna make her get a job now, instead of get the license first.... and maybe if she's riding her bike to work enough times she'll get motivated to get her license. so I picked up an app today... took it home, she filled it out... and her dad was taking her for a "driving lesson" (she learned how to drive his suburban just fine- but she's still "mastering" how to drive her car... standard. LOL) and I thought- why don't you drop the application off while you're at it?

Next thing I know Jeff is calling me from the car telling me they hired her on the spot and she starts Friday morning!!!!!!!!!!! Now I have 2 days to get her pants, belt, shoes and a polo she has to wear until they can get her a uniform shirt on Monday. Holy macaroni...... wasn't expecting that.
(and I'd stapled to her application a paper listing all the dates she can't work- like for spring formal, church camp this summer, week she's volunteering at the zoo this summer, our WBTA vacation, etc. Apparently even needing all those dates off didn't shy them off from hiring her LOL)

so yeah uh..... I'm gonna have a chlid that is WORKING in a couple of days.
So it's an "I feel old" kind of day.
LOL

LOL congrats!

My order is still saying "delayed" no cancellation as yet. On the website though it is saying they have no date and they aren't taking orders! Trying to investigate!

Read the other day that the authors have just had a grandchild so someone had said theyll probably be busy! Not to sound too uncaring but shouldn't commitments still be met? This was due out in March and is meant to be the 2010 version! I gave away my 2009 version especially for this version!

Doesn't sound uncaring and absolutely unless there is a major illness or something going on with this grandchild the commitments should be met. And if there are other issues than just being new grandparents that should be shared. JMHO...or as Noel would say just my thoughts. I love those three little words, Noel.
