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

[orlandothebeagle]

Yes, that is a possibility, but hopefully not one I have to resort to. We don't go to Gibraltar. Sunday is a sea day and then it is on to Malta on Monday and Tunis on Tuesday.



Well done on being able to change and save money.



I hope that you can join us.

Well, I got into work yesterday, got my additional two days off sorted and let DH know. By the time I managed to get this sorted, the ferry to Spain (which would have been our first choice) was no longer available. So DH booked a highspeed ferry from Portsmouth to Le Havre instead. The ferry will leave tomorrow morning. We will head down to Portsmouth by train later this afternoon. From Le Havre we have to make our way to Paris somehow, but the trains are relatively frequent and quite quick. We will have the rest of Wednesday and pretty much all of Thursday in Paris before we get on an overnight train to Barcelona getting us there Friday morning.

I am seriously tempted to spend Thursday at Disneyland Paris. I have been many times, but always in late November and in December when the Christmas decorations are up. I would love to see it in spring and as I am in Paris anyway, it would be a shame not to go.

I am just so excited about this whole adventure. I have to print the last of the documents out, do some laundry, finish off some magnets and ring the hotel in Barcelona to advise them that we will arrive Friday morning instead of tomorrow. I will also try to get through to the airline to check if we can just use the return portion of the ticket.

I am turning green with jealousy, How exciting for you. I hope that silly ash cloud doesn't affect any of you excitement. Have a wonderful time!!!

I am so happy! When looking at the DCL website today I realized that cat 11s opened up for 3 people (had previously not been there at all, or only for 2 people). I was able to move one of the kids from our cat 5 to the cat 11 and saved over $200 with just that simple move! I am thrilled to not have to pay that this close to PIF - we are scrambling to come up with the money without resorting to credit cards with DH's scanty work these days. Yay!

Every penny saved helps out

Just like Pam we maybe back on board!! I started a new job in Oct after being out of work for 15 months and thought it wasn't a good time to try to be planning such a long cruise but guess what I was reading and lurking the whole time and I can't tear myself away since we already know some of you from our Double Dip in '08 and our NYE cruise so tomorrow I am going to talk to my boss and see if I can get the time off and if the answer is yes (please e/o think pixie dust for me tomorrow) we will be back on!!! So please e/o keep me in your thoughts tomorrow I work for a school district doing A/P so Sept is very busy I know I am going to have to make some big promises but I know it will be worth it!!

Good luck.

BIG NEWS!!!! I found the OBC card! After going through all our shredding for the past year and then our papers from last year I found it!!!!! When I called DCL they said they had found where they had it too. We had upgraded and when we switched it didn't get switched to our new ressie. Oh well! Who cares at least now I have proof of it. Thanks to everyone for helping!!! I'm on cloud nine!!!

It's nice when that happens.

WOW ..... PART 5 already ..... will be on Part 6 very soon I'm sure as I have only been awol for 2 days and I have missed 91 posts By the time we cruise I guess we will be on Part 10 !!!!

I don't even want to think how many posts will be going up in the couple weeks before the cruise.

....check your PM's, please! I just sent you all a PM with some info/details I need as we move forward with lanyards!

Thanks Erik! I am so excited to be on the team!

 

[granmaz]

I have looked at Erics post again and I think he is refering to the wonderful people who have volunteered to pay for the lanyards, sorry for any confusion

Oops!!! Sorry Eric.

 

[tig82174]

I haven't had a PM, so not sure if you have our names. I know I sent them twice. If it is too late now worries.

No PM here either We sent ours as well, perhaps its the ash clouds fault....

Hey guys...I see that epcot1stfave re-read my post but I was, in fact, sending out a PM only to lanyard team members who are paying. Just so both of you know, I do have granmaz (Marilyn and John) and epcot1stfave (Michael) and his travel partner hotfudgesundae (Tricia) on my list----so lanyards are coming for you!

Everyone else, like I said, keep watching the thread like a hawk (and maybe your PM inbox) for when the full list gets published because I will need your help in verifying its accuracy and completeness!!

[tig82174]

Thanks Erik! I am so excited to be on the team!

Hey Steffy----I don't see that I got an email or a PM from you regarding the PM that I sent to you. Did you send it and I didn't receive? I need your email address when you get a chance, please!

 

[gismo1554]

OK so Im so busy I don't get a chance to come on here for 2 days and you've managed to close one thread and create 8 new pages! Will have to catch up tonight!

 

[granmaz]

Disneysweetie - Glad you managed to get the lanyards. Yes were staying on the 17th at the Renaissance Airport hotel. Not in until 10:30pm mind but well be there. Oh and congrats on the flight etc! Well done!

goui- You sign up onboard the first day for Alice Tea. As for the OBC I got a letter rather than a postcard so not sure on that one. Glad you found it and that they found you (these people are idiots sometimes like us all lol)!

TheDisneyGirl02 - Cool that your rooms so close to us. You can knock on the door and get us up each morning lol! As for the KA movie - definately for boys!

Kermitrocks - FSC hoping youve sorted this. You need to have DCL rebook your room basically. WE did this a little while back.

BibbidyBobbidyBoo - I think you're right on the FSC thing! Thats how I understood it.

PJPoohbear - Love the post to All ears! Thanks

Orlandothebeagle - Welcome back from your hols Lynne. I managed to get flu while you were away (well I say it was flu as had the shakes, sweats, cough etc). Starting to feel better now. Keeping food down (was throwing up when I coughed) and my breathings better.

dolphingirl47 - Fingers crossed! Im sure youll be fine! Hope you have a fab trip! We're not jealous or anything lol

pilk - thanks for the get well soon! Im feeling a lot better today! Still coughing but no where near as bad.

sandiedvc - I think the post per port is a good idea! Might need to look for that book you said about!

UKangel - pm me your details and Ill make sure youre in the navigator! Just need names, room number! Just incase you haven't worked out the website yet lol! As for the minibus to Barcelona - I think you should round us all up from the various airports and take us all lol! Were leaving Heathrow!

AlexandNessa - I think if this is still going on in September we're all skrewed and Disney will be cancelling every cruise in Europe! Final payment I believe is the 21st May not April - please say it is?

Witherbark - I've got all fingers crossed for them that it will be sorted by the weekend!

Dizneyholic - oh that cheese bread bowl sounds so so fab! I want it!

pit303 - hope you manage to sort joining us again!

granmaz - feeling better but my coughs still there and now I am loosing my voice! Meant to be giving a presentation in work tomorrow lol! Tried Covonia Night last night and it didn't do much for me lol! Gonna try some other random night remedy that Dan picked up today later see if I can get a full night sleep!

 

[gismo1554]

I just love the flowers of spring, don't you?

OK thought I'd done well catching up on posts and missed this one! Thats a lovely flower!
