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

[MrsMork]

Imagine the two biggest rivalries in Australian football. Multiply the fanbase a hundred-fold. Then put the two teams in the same city!

Yep. I remember one year when Dennis was attending USC the Bruins came over before "the big game" took a torch to Tommy Trojan and put his sword in his back! So, Trojans went to UCLA campus changed all the signs for the pep rally to a different location and when the team and band showed up...no fans. Then Tommy Trojan was guarded for a week after that caper. So, what did the rascal Bruins come up with???? They flew over in a helicopter and dumped blue paint on him!! So, now you will see Tommy Trojan all wrapped up in canvas AND guarded the week before USC/UCLA game. And what did the Trojans then come up with?? They got into UCLA computer and changed the card stunt program so that up in the top corner of every stunt was a "USC". Fun times. I think someone might go to jail for some of that stuff these days.

Sarah and Mandy

My thoughts will be with you in the coming days.


Football peeps, someone needs to teach me the game, I know Canadian football, a little, but I hear the game is different down south. My university team, finally won a game after 7 years. The players have to get in to the school solely based on academics and if they can play, that is also good.

Evening all. Sorry haven't really had time to catch up as you've all been very chatty. My Grandmother unexpetantly passed away on Sunday night so with this and exams next week I'm not sure Ill be around much but just wanted to say hi to everyone! I will try and keep popping it. As it is the funeral is on Thursday afternoon next week (exams Wednesday and Thursday morning) so hopefully after that will get a chance to pop back over! Please don't type too much in the mean time

I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. Please except our condolences.

 

[birkner]

sorry to hear your news Sarah, best wishes to you and your family xx


Could I ask a massive favour of all you lovely people please? I know you don't really know us yet but I do hope we'll get to be friends. My darling daughter needs lots of positive thoughts and prayers right now and anyone has some to spare I'd be grateful.
She suffers terribly from chronic depression (since she was 14) and has just been in hospital again...I won't go into too many details, but she is a lovely bright girl and this is worrying me sick.

Any prayers would be wonderful thank you xx

Prayers and lost of pixie dust for your daughter!!!

I thought all our friends from Scotland would get a kick out of this advert that I just received in my e-mail:

GHOSTour to SCOTLAND, our long-awaited Haunted Week of Horrors Vacation for travelers of all ages -- is only 1 year away. Join us May 8-1, 2011 for what should is the ultimate spooktacular adventure to one of the scariest and most notorious locales in the United Kingdom. Hosted by Charles F. Rosenay!!! ("Cryptmaster Chiller Chucky") and TV personality/paranormal investigator Richard Felix ("Most Haunted"), this first-ever GHOSTour of Scotland follows in the haunted footsteps of Mary Queen of Scots & Bonnie Prince Charles.

Few places in the world are as spooky as Scotland. The country's murky past involved clan battles, hundreds of years of war and the siege of grim-looking castles in almost every part of the country. Stories were told and traditions established. There are tales of ghosts, many of whom were said to be the spirits of real people who died in tragic or horrific circumstances, of apparitions that appear at certain times of the night, or certain periods of the year - perhaps when they were murdered, and of strange, eerie sounds that pierce the chilled Scottish air. The hauntings seem to have no set boundaries. Ghosts have been reported on bleak roads, in old theatres and ancient graveyards. Join us as we pay some of these spirited sites a visit and judge for yourself. If you are brave enough!

We will explore the Underground City and take the best ghost walks. Some of the places we visit include Greyfriars Church & Cemetery, home of the McZenzie poltergeist; Holly Rood, where Mary Queen of Scot's secretary was stabbed and where the bloodstains still remain; Inverness, for the Highlands Ghostwalk and possibly an encounter with the Lochness Monster; the St Andrews Ghostwalk; and we will spend time at Edinburgh Castle and Mary King's Close, Edinburgh. Combine this with independent late-night séances, visits to graveyards, on-board classic ghost & genre films, a monster mash masquerade ball farewell party and other surprises, and you've got what is one of the most memorable macabre tour in haunted history.

Let me know your thoughts!

Hi there. You mentioned taking orders for a few more weeks...does that mean through the end of May? It's been a busy few weeks and haven't had as much time to focus on the boards and this wonderful trip because of our exciting upcoming trip at the end of this week. Our nephew is getting married on May 17 at WDW. We will all be heading to Florida on Friday and enjoying Hoop-Dee-Doo on Saturday for the "rehearsal dinner," tea party at Grand Floridian for wedding shower on Sunday and then the wedding on Monday at Sea Breeze Point at the Boardwalk...reception at California Grill in the Contemporary. Our 3 kids (all grown) will be there too so it's the first family trip since before the kids went to college; we will be staying the rest of the week to enjoy WDW. When we come back (and recover from this trip with almost 30 family members at WDW!) we look forward to more actively planning and anticipating this trip !! (BTW, I've mentioned before that ReAnSt and I were on the same cruise with Bareacuda in 2007 --and we don't know each other...but small small world, I believe I remember ReAnSt saying she will be at WDW next week too...very small world). I'll catch up (best as I can) when we get home on the 23rd !

I think I will skip this one. Scotland would be nice to see, but a nice visit with Lynn would be better!

Consider prayers sent! Depression is such a terrible thing for all involved.

Imagine the two biggest rivalries in Australian football. Multiply the fanbase a hundred-fold. Then put the two teams in the same city!

I'm picturing our State of Origin, where QLD vs NSW. It's pretty big, everyone dresses in their state colours, dresses up their cars and houses. Then the losing team usually has to fly the winning teams flag at a famous location. Am I on the right track?

You've got the idea! I was in Brisbane once during the State of Origin. It was fun but somewhat subdued compared to a Bruins-Trojans game!!!

 

[mdwoodman]

Is it too late to join the college football discussion??

Of course not!

As you can see, I have a split personality. My brother, sister, and I all went to UCLA (DS and I graduated - but that's another story!). My DD #1 and I both graduated from UCF and DD #3 goes there now. Good thing they're not in the same conference!

 

[HallsofVA]

Can you not purchase insurance outside of DCL? Go to insuremytrip.com and get some quotes.

And a Bulldog!! Sounds like we will have quite a party going on during game time!!

I actually purchased insurance privately as well, but alas did not do so in time to get preexisting condition or cancel for any reason coverage. My mom has been in and out of the hospital for the past month or so, with the last episode being worse than the ones before, and I'm concerned something may happen to her that will prevent us from going. Unfortunately her condition worsened after I'd already paid the remaining balance. Plus there's always the possibility that my DH, who has been unemployed for well over a year now, could find a job that won't let him take 2 1/2 weeks off in September. With the DCL insurance, even if we end up canceling for one of those reasons (which wouldn't be covered under private insurance purchased at this point), we should at least preserve what we paid for the cruise itself, since they give you a credit for uninsured losses toward a future cruise. Our airfare covered under the private insurance would probably still be at risk of loss, but it's half what the cruise cost is. Obviously I'm concerned enough to feel that the loss of the $400 OBC was justified in getting the insurance added one way or another.

If you are going to raise, you'll need to raise with something of value.

Oh....I can't wait for college football to start!!

Where's your Tebow now???? May your rebuilding year go as well as ours went last season!

too right,kick the kids out first

They have the boat moored in a lovely fishing village/turned touristy called anstruther, they go places in it most weekends, it has 2 berths.

Is this Anstruther Fife? I ask because in January 1989, I took a collage course/trip in "Museum Operation Management" led by my Accounting and Economics professors that took us to London, St Andrews (I went to St. Andrews College in North Carolina thus the connection) and Edinburgh. While the course itself was a great reason to visit lots of museums in the various cities, we did do a couple of additional items. As part of our class, we spent a day working in the Scottish Fisheries Museum in Anstruther Fife. I can't think of many places that were colder in January than it was out on those docks!

Mandy, you and your daughter are in my thoughts and prayers.

Corinna, It may be a 14 day, with an option of which park you choose, I chose Seaworld, And only have one day to spare anyway. We have 12 days at WDW, so 2 days away with DC and SW is only leaving us 10 days at WDW. Wouldn't spend another day there, We did 2 days there in 2008, so I just need a Shamu fix and I'll be done.

I know what you mean. I was in that position last year that I could only spare one day for Seaworld. Before we bought into DVC, we always stayed on International Drive and I would go to Seaworld for at least a couple of hours pretty much every day. So I really made my pass count then. Now that we stay onsite, I tend to concentrate on Disney. I have the horrible feeling that I may not make it to Seaworld at all this year as we only have 5 days in Florida after the cruise.

Corinna
