Finally, after reading over Jon (pilk's) shoulder all this time, I decided to create my own account on this board. He often shows me the things he posts , yes, he is right when he says they are his opinions and not mine!!! I have no clue half the time what he is saying on here. I guess this way, I can keep a better eye on him.
So, hello to all of you. I know Jon is getting to know you, I guess I should get in on the game and meet you, as well. I'm starting to recognize some of your names that he mentions. It will be nice to finally meet you, in September.
I know it has been a bit, but I do want to personally thank you, all for all of the kindness you showed us, this past winter. Jon did show me all of your well wishes. It was so nice to know that you all we thinking of us during our rough time. Each and every one of those e-mails were appreciated more than you ever can imagine. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
I look forward to getting to know all of you better.

Has anyone heard anything about the excursion on Tortola called Jost Van **** Beach? We were trying to think of something the kids would enjoy.

 

[hotfudgesundae]

It might well be! My order with Amazon UK has now also been cancelled!

Got an email yesterday cancelling my order as well looks like we will have to go with the Birnbaum edition even though we prefer the Passporter books.

Hi Candida, welcome.

 

[paulasillars]

I would also like to say a big big thankyou to Erik and also the lovely generous folks thats donating. Thankyou,thankou,thankyou.

I would like to second this! Thank 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.

I'm so pleased that everything sounds ok!

So happy to find out that my friend Laura aka eeyorelvr10, will be on this cruise with us. She has been booked but was not sure if she was going to be able to go. I first met Laura in 2006 on the 11 night Southern and we have been "cross country" friends ever since and have sailed every September together since then...Matter of fact we sailed on the WBTA in 2007 together....Now to just help get her signed up for all the fun activities!!!!

I just sent Laura a message on FB - I hadn't caught up with that. Laura and I had a lovely chat a the wenches lunch on the EBPC

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!

Does anyone have any input on what else may be good to do at this port?

We love history so we'll be heading for the local museum in each port if possible.

I got all excited this week when I got an email saying Mary Poppins is playing in Melbourne in October, but alas neither Robert or Mum want to come with me... some feeble excuse about the cost, as it would be within a few days of getting back from the US. Not sure if I can justify going on my own, it will be expensive... the timing sucks!

How annoying

..... I am expecting NOTHING to be straightforward with our flights back from this cruise .... what with the Globespan fiasco, then our outbound flight times changed, and now with on and off volcanic ash situation in the UK for the foreseeable future I suspect there will be more problems ahead.

Hi Candida! Nice to see you coming over here! I hope things are getting better now and can't wait til September!

 

[gismo1554]

Got an email yesterday cancelling my order as well looks like we will have to go with the Birnbaum edition even though we prefer the Passporter books.

Annoyingly I had brought a WDW Deluxe passporter book so that I could combine the two in one for the trip and now its wasted!

Oh Lynne, that is so very annoying. I wish they would just keep things how they were when people book! We had a very small flight time change for our flight out to Barcelona, but nothing at all like this one. How far is Dublin centre from the airport? Any chance of a couple of hours there?

We once booked from our local airport, only 25 minutes away, to Madeira. Then Thompson just cancelled all the flights, so we had to move to Manchester, 2 hours away(not too bad I know). It was an extremely early flight, so we stayed overnight.

How annoying

I think I agree with you.
