Sept 18 2010 WB TransAtlantic Pirates/Capt Jacks Re-Repoing Repossession Cruise Pt.9

[gismo1554]

I won't be able to get on with much cruise related tasks today even though I have a day off as we are all going to a wedding this afternoon. Typically the British weather has let the side down completely. I ordered DS a new pair of trousers and when he tried them on yesterday they were too tight, so this mornings mission is to buy a bigger pair for him so I am off to the shops, before coming back to get ready for the wedding at 3pm. The wedding should be a nice chance to relax for a few hours.

I also think the cold I have been brewing for a few days is finally about to make an appearance .... I really hope so to be honest, as everyone else in the family has had it and I need to get it over and done with before the cruise.

Only 6 more work shifts ahead of me, though if they are anything like yesterday's shift which was a complete nightmare, I don't think I will make it with my sanity intact. The cruise can't come soon enough now.

Sarah hope the wedding goes OK. The weather looks dire but itll still be nice. Oh and hope the cold clears up too! Take lots of vitamin C!

Pain about having to go shopping this morning, but how lovely to have a wedding to enjoy. Sorry about the cold. You need Zinc Lozenges from Holland and Barratt. They work really well to shorten a cold. Unfortunately though I doubt they will be open till Tuesday. We also buy Zinc tablets when in the US and take them for the period before, during and after our vacations, just in case!!

For the Brits, a reminder. Check your European medical card(old E111) is up to date. I didn't know they weren't forever. I checked ours and it needs renewing in January.

Some of us are still chatting on our 2008 PC thread over 2 years later. Others keep in touch occasionally. It is very hard after the cruise and making all the new friends. Some people manage to move on much easier than others.

Ours runs out this month, thankyou.
This was on the scottish news....
A couple went to spain with no insurance, they had the cards and thought they were fine, of course they got health care but it didnt cover them them for getting any kind of way home with medical help, they started a fund to collect money so the girl could get home, Ive never thought about that, we have annual ins now but before Ive went away for the odd weekend just with that card and never really thought bout it.

Thats true, I met a lovely,lovely lady from chicagoo last cruise and her grandson, they even came to stay with us in our villa the night before cruise,we spent a lovely week cruisng with them, I am really dissapointed that weve fallen out of touch, I wrote and e-mailed a few times and she never got back to me, I hope she is ok, but Ive let it go now because maybe she just thinks time to move on, but its kinda sad really,

 

[orlandothebeagle]

Well it serves you right for having a lovely weekend on you boat, you should have been working like me!!

Hi all,

Looking for a favour from a US based DISer. Would anyone be able to help me buy a micro SIM card for an iPad from an AT&T store? I believe they cost $15 + tax.

This is to allow us to hit the ground running with Internet access when we arrive in Florida without having to drive around looking for an AT&T store!

If you can help out, please send me a PM. I can transfer funds by Paypal or give you cash on the ship, whatever suits.

Thanks

Min Yu

Yeah I know you have to be careful with the card as it doesn't cover everything!

Well hopefully some of us will stay in touch! I hope so anyway!
