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

[dolphingirl47]

best hurry up and buy them

There is the problem. They are full price at the moment and at GBP65 not exactly cheap. With Christmas coming up and us hopefully doing the Panama Canal cruise, I need to look after the Pennies a little. I am hoping that they will either go in the sale towards the end of fall or that I can get them on Ebay.

I just had a really weird thought .... just think .... exactly one week from now a lot of us will have met in person at the Hard Rock Cafe meet. I wonder what we will all think of each other when we finally meet after chatting on line for almost 2 years in some cases. Do you know ..... I am soooooooo excited and can't wait to meet everyone

we are down to single figures 6 days til the cruise - this is soooo exciting



i hear they welcome you when you come on board that is so cool

Thanks for all of your good thoughts and prayers for my friend Eric and his family. The surgery was delayed a day as the new hospital where he was transferred wanted to run additional tests. Tests showed an 80% blockage. Surgery was this morning and Eric is in recovery!!! After a double by-pass, the doctors are saying his heart is back at 100% pumping. No new meds will be needed. He is not out of the woods yet but things are definitely looking good.

I really appreciate all of the good vibes coming his way. They really worked and we are looking forward to alot more fun times for their family!!!!!

You guys are the best!

Off to get my Brazilian Blowout so I won't have to fuss with my hair!!

See you guys later!!

Have you done this before? My hairdresser keeps trying to get me to do it, but I am unsure. My hair has natural curl that the sea air makes unruly. I try to blowdry it straight, but usually by the the third day of a cruise I give in.


I am sure you look beautiful.

 

[birkner]

Noel, they really should have called that something else.

I agree!!!!!

Me three, I wondered what the heck I was clicking on.

Me four ..... a Brazilian is quite a different hair cut over here

Groupon had coupons for that a few times in the past month, not sure if it was for your spa or not though.

I am sure they call "it " that everywhere, Noel Is playing with us

No, I do believe it is really called that. A hair treatment.

Google it, plenty of Brazillians there!!! Just one. Hey, they have to wear gas masks!!!

Ladies and gents, if you saw the link that I posted and the Marilyn posted you can see this really is a rate G straightening treatment for the hair on YOUR HEAD!! I realize what it sounds like that is why I added the word blowout!!

If you have extemely thick, culy, frizzy hair like I do, the treatment is miraculous. Whenever my hair is in any kind of humidity, it become unmanageable without having it done every day. The young women who does it for me does it a discount as a favor to my hairdresser!

For me it is miraculous!! I only have to touch up my hair a little bit with a blow dryer and straightener. This is the fourth time I have done it. Last time I had it done was four months ago. I colored my hair a week ago and now did the treatment.

Congrats on the pirate!!

I think there will about 2 seconds of awkwardness then we will just jump in and everything will be just like we have been talking in person forever!!

What exactly is "airborne" ??

Someone may have answered this but in case, here goes the story about Airborne from Wikipedia:

The formula for Airborne was developed by Victoria Knight-McDowell, an elementary school teacher from Carmel, California. She began brewing herbal and vitamin cocktails in the early 1990s and selling them in tablet form to local drug stores. Later on, Knight-McDowell contracted cartoonist Lloyd Dangle to create Airborne's brand and packaging. In 1997 specialty grocery chain Trader Joe's ordered 300 cases of Airborne tablets to sell, and by 1999 other larger chains, such as Wal-Mart and Rite Aid, began stocking Airborne.
There are no studies supporting Airborne's effectiveness that meet scientific standards. The "GNG Pharmaceutical Services Inc." study often referenced in the debate over Airborne's effectiveness was sponsored by the Knight-McDowell Labs, manufacturers of Airborne. In February 2006, ABC News discovered that GNG Pharmaceutical Services has no official clinic, scientists, or even doctors. In fact the company comprises only two men, who started the company just to perform this study. Because of the bad publicity that this controversy has brought forth, Knight-McDowell Labs has removed all references to the study from their packaging and web site.

I just noticed my DH is in wikipedia. Does that make his famous or infamous?
John Birkner

Famous!!

Thank you for all the helpful information. I'm disappointed about the wifi at the Praktik Rambla. They shouldn't advertise it if you can't really use it should they? When we are all there it will be a mess!

Glad it is cool in the evenings/night with the hotel being warm!!!

Enjoy your stay.

Poo abouthte wifi! however, we can all talk in person instead of posting!!

My DH is just the same; loves those jets (he was a jet mechanic in the Marines).

Count Glenn in as an aviation buff...

Just wondering of those magnets are already there. I remember you posting about how they got them and will have them on your door before your Arrive

No - yet another set... I didn't find them last night, so will be tearing stuff apart shortly... UUGH!

On our weathermap it will be dry in Barcelona till next sunday.

YEAH!!! I like this better than the rain I was seeing!

Good news......


This time next week we should be in the air on our way at last to Barcelona!!!



Bad news......

Mark's just had to go into work again.... he's only been home an hour or so.....

Any chance that he will get called in before your departure? I know you mentioned that there was a possibilty... Fingers crossed that he will not be.

Can some one post the link to eriks blog please, I need to get through this weekend somehow and living through the guys might be the only way possible.

http://erikandjason2010.blogspot.com/ It is so much better than mine!!

Nicely done!

Thank you,

5640 - I need to update screen shots... sorry, I am a slacker

On our last two cruises we got a round drawstring bag, two metal Castaway Club sports bottles, the rice crispy treats and a keychain. We are silver members.

I managed to get a dental appointment for this morning and was even luckier that I was seen by my own dentist. Normally if you need an emergency appointment, you see whoever is free. I am terrified of the dentist, but kind of like my dentist. The tooth is fixed and all is well again.
I did make it into town today. I managed to get another swimsuit with the gift card that I found and some mentionables. I also stopped by a shoe shop to try on some shoes that I consider getting for the vow renewal and those shoes caught my eyes:

I think they are perfect for Pirate Night. They are really light, comfortable and were dirt cheap.

The dentist appointment went very well. Considering how much pain I was in over night and the chunk of tooth I was missing, I was expecting that either I would need another inlay (which would have meant temporary filling until after the cruise) or he would just rip it out. I managed to get away with a normal filling and he finished the job straightaway so I don't need to get back until my next check up.

So glad the dentist was able to get you in!

LOVE the shoes!!

I'm really bummed we won't get there til after this is over I shall feel like the new girl at school!

I will join your new girl at school group. Some day I will talk my hubby into meeting the group before the cruise. But I have 2 weeks to not be the new girl well come to think about it after 2 years guess I am not so new

What I am interested in is finally seeing the people listed on the web site that I have never seen post. So they are really the new kids

Now to get back to organizing my packaging

More scared about what to pack for hubby. He says just throw in anything you want. Problem is most of his shirts have stains on them

Now if I go buy new shirts guaranteed by the end of the cruise they will have stains on them too:I have no idea how he does it but seems to run in the family on his side.

Of course with that my good intentions regarding shoes have gone out of the window. I was only going to bring 3 pairs of shoes: my running shoes, a pair of Crocs and my heeled velvet Crocs for the evenings. Suddenly I have acquired a pair of flip flops and some fancy shoes for Pirate night. I don't know how that happened.

I seem to be the queen of half done jobs at the moment. I got ID, left over currency and all the confirmations sorted, but will need to add the passports and tickets nearer the time. I have started to sort out the chargers and adapters, but kind of ran out of steam. Still, apart from the actual packing I can finish off most things within minutes if needed.

Corinna

Glad to hear the dentist went well and your tooth is fixed!!

I am taking 3 pairs of shoes on the plane so I got a kick of you saying you were only going to take 3 pairs of shoes on the trip. I wear one pair to the plane, one pair on the plane and then I have my walking sandals for when I get off the plane. I do not travel shoe light!!

My "To Do" list is slowly winding down. Just a few more things to do and all items that were to be shipped have arrived safe and sound. Now over the weekend we will do the final weigh in of the bags, pay Air Berlin for the extra bags and try not to be too stressed about the cost.

 

[birkner]

Up to recently shoes were a necessary evil. I have very wide feet and find it tough to get shoes that fit. Even Clarks Shoes do not usually fit me. A couple of month ago, somebody introduced me to Irregular Choice shoes. To my immense surprise a lot of them fit me and they are just so quirky and fun. At the moment I am lusting after this pair:

They would be perfect for the vow renewal, fit wonderfully and are really comfortable.

Corinna

Very cute shoes!!

I too have short, wide feet and find children's shoes often fit me better than adult shoes.

My mother probably should have bound my mouth instead of my feet.

Very good news about Eric. I am so glad to hear that he is coming out of the woods and on the way to a full recovery!!
