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

[Buckeye Gal]

I once again apologize for being absent for so long. Please forgive me!

I chatted with Hoagie Pie earlier today, and realized that I *really* need to get back to you guys! Amy's been an encouragement, too! So I haven't even begun to catch up, but I will do the best I can!

First thing is first. The Pre-Cruise Accommodations List....Has anyone taken that over, or should I update it with the changes that have been given to me? If no one has taken that over, then certainly PM me if you want included or have updates. If you want to see what it currently looks like, click here.

For those I don't keep up with on Facebook, I've missed you, and look forward to reconnecting and seeing you in 17 weeks!!!

Feels like it's been months since I've been on here...

Well, since booking Nov 2008 (yes I have the fuel supplement), I finally got all the flights, hotel, etc. finalized and PIF on Friday so we're good to go. We can't wait! Rosalynn keeps asking when we're going to go on the "Mickey Boat?"

Just popping in with a quick hi. Been back for about 4 hours from having my op. All has gone well. Been sleeping mostly. Have pain from the op and the gas they pump in, but this will go one way or another!!!

I look like they have drained the life blood from my face!!!

Hope you're all having a nice weekend.

I hope you are feeling 100% very soon!

Cute!!! Yay that all is paid! I still have 2 flights to book and I need to get some Euros from somewhere. We "bank" at a credit union so I will call them Monday and see what they can do for me. Otherwise, do you have to have an account at a bank for them to get Euros for you?

Yeah!! Course we've been keeping up on FB but nice to see you back!!!

As far as the list, who else can take care of it like you!!

We've been very lucky to have such a great group of people on this cruise that can keep us so organized!!!

 

[pjpoohbear]

Angie good point, Euros have to be done, hmmm CAA/AAA, perhaps.


Are travelers cheques in Euros a good or bad idea for Barcelona and Madeira? seasoned travelers spread your knowledge, please and thank you,

Pj

 

[Buckeye Gal]

I agree! We do have a lot of wonderful volunteers here! Sue had done a super awesome job consolidating! I know first hand that it's a job to keep up with all of it!

Okay....I'll get to putting updates on the pre-cruise accommodations list that have been sent to me in the past couple of months, including those I've gotten just tonight!

I know that there has been a lot of talk on excursions, so someone tell me if I am doing silly/supid stuff as I don't want to hear my son say "Wow mom, EPIC FAIL"... :: sigh :: 13 is a challenging age...

Barcelona - 2 day HOH bus and maybe the aquarium on Saturday - we aren't sure about that day yet. All depends on how tired we are...

Gibraltar - doing a taxi tour instead of City Under Siege as we want to be able to take our time.

Madeira - Looking at a private tour here as well. Possible a jeep tour as Becca can do it privately but not through DCL (min age with DCL is 8 or 12...)

St. Maarten - Glenn and Stephen want to go to Maho Beach. Looking at that in conjunction with Stephen and I doing the Tiki Snorkeling. Does anyone know if you can come and go on this? It is a set your own length tour... If we can come and go, then we will snorkel, hit MAHO to see KLM or other big jets come in and then Stephen and I may snorkel more. Glenn might take Becca to the Butterfly farm. If we can't come and go, then I will do butterfly Farm with Becca (She was there at 15 months old) and Glenn and Stephen will hit Maho.

Tortolla... Well, I haven't looked at these yet - that is tomorrows task. But if we don't snorkel at St Maarten, then I want to take Stephen snorkeling there. Any advice is welcome!

Also - does anyone know if jewelry is really a good deal on St maarten or not? I have been looking for a birthstone ring with 2 stones (both March - Aquamarine). I can't find a stocked that I like. last time we wer in St Maarten we looked all over to no avail, and on a whim went into a little jewelry store right at the end of the dock area. The clerk/jeweler said thathtey could custom make one for me. Price looked good. Too bad he needed the day and we were an hour until we left port... I have looked on and off since then - no joy. I even looked all over St. Thomas and nothing... Honestly I haven't priced out a custom ring in Atlanta, but I think it would be more than the $125-150ish that I was quoted...

Ok, off to bed...

 

[Hoagie Pie]

I should be going to bed, but still working on the FE's. Only stopped for lunch and dinner, several papercuts later and I am still having a blast!! So glad I started now because I only got one done! Ahhhh!!!! Glad the summer is just beginning.

 

[TheDisneyGirl02]

Sue, stupid me! I just sent you a PM about the shirts...ignore it except for the size part. I didn't read well enough...maybe I can blame it on being tired! Sorry!!! Thanks for keeping such awesome track of everything!

 

[goiu]

We broke the kiddie pool out today. The water was still really cold, though. 87 degrees but the wind was horrible. Great day to grill out! YEAH for summer!!!!

It is still cold here. Only getting up to the low 50's and is down in the 30's at night. 10 day forcast remains the same. We are wondering if there will be a summer here!

 

[MrsMork]

I added the Land and Sea excursion on Tortolla. It looks like it will suit us fine. PJ, do you want to join us? It is 8:15 am departure and last 4.5 hours.

Great news!!

Have to take a moment and interrupt with a kid brag!

Stephens team is the sole remaining undefeated team in his baseball league! The final is on Tuesday night (6 om if anyone wants to make the journey to just north of Atlanta and watch the game...) and hopefully they will win that and walt away with the big trophy!

He had a rough day, flew out twice and got hit in the hands once, and instead of getting a base, the ump called it a strike. To the umps defense, he turned after getting hit and that *might* have appeared to be a swing, but one wold think that a kid holding his hand and wincing would have told a different story... Quite different from going 4 for 4 last week and then 3 for 4 in the second game of the double header...

No matter, the team is doing well and it is a great way to finish uop the school year!

Brag over, please return to your normal cruise reading!

Okay...I've just spent about four hours catching up on recent posts and others I knew would be of value since my absence from the DIS. I see I have several updates for the Pre-Cruise Accommodations List, so thank you, and keep them coming!

For those who remember from way back, I wanted to give an update on my grandmother. I ended up moving in with her to take care of her for 8 months. I "officially" came back home in early March and cried like a baby when I left. It was challenging and rewarding at the same time, but without question, it was time that I'll cherish forever! She's doing great and about 95% recovered from her surgery! I went up to visit with her for about 4 days this week, and we had a great time!

My 78 year old grandmother is just so cute! I have to tell you a funny story from my visit. If you're on FB with me, it will be a repeat for you, but it still cracks me up!

So Grandma and I were talking in her bedroom with her toy poodle, Sandy, laying on the bed. She says to me "There's a good chance I'm going to get another D-O-G." Yes. She spelled out "dog" so Sandy wouldn't know! It was all I could do to not laugh hysterically, but somehow I did! (I love what Paula said in response on my FB page, which was that her german shepherd learned how to spell because they spelled in front of her so often!!! )

The next night, my mom was over at her house. I just couldn't resist. I had to tell Grandma that I had to "tell a funny" on her. It took me literally 4 minutes to tell the short story because I was laughing so hard before I could spell D-O-G! OMG...we all laughed so hard that we were in tears!

Just popping in with a quick hi. Been back for about 4 hours from having my op. All has gone well. Been sleeping mostly. Have pain from the op and the gas they pump in, but this will go one way or another!!!....

Great to hear that you're even feeling up to logging in to give us an update! I hope that gas pain goes away quickly...it's SO uncomfortable!

Have to take a moment and interrupt with a kid brag!....Stephens team is the sole remaining undefeated team in his baseball league!.... it is a great way to finish uop the school year!

I love hearing about kid brags! Bring 'em on! Congrats to all of them!!

Well, it's past time to get some sleep. Good night or good morning, depending on where you are!
