Hi

Do you think it is a good bargain or expensive?

I think it look same for 4 of us but it is for inside, we are having ocean with window....

But it might be cheaper for british money? as we have to exchange dollars??

Hello Woody

How are you? I saw your forum on 12 Sept that you mentioned that you are going to Australia for cruises for longer ...How lovely... wish it is me!!!

I love Australia and had been there 3 times. Planning to go back in 2011... finger cross...

This is our first time to Australia.

We have been to New Zealand twice. The first time was in 2007 for a few days, and we loved it! So we returned in 2008 (as part of our "Round the World" trip) for three weeks.

We will spend one week in Sydney before embarking on the HAL Volendam. We have tickets for two performances at the Sydney Opera House.

It is cheaper for us. The Cat 6 on DCL for the 2 of us was about $11,300, so at today's rate around £8,000. On the Celebrity it would be about £4,400 for a balcony room. We could have a suite in concierge for the price DCL are charging. for a Cat 6., and the ship is fantastic. But, I know it isn't Disney, and sometimes it is worth paying for that.

Just stopping by to say hello.

Hi Woody. Great to see you.

Hope you have a fantastic trip. I would love to do that itinerary.

Greetings all... Thank you all for all the kind thoughts, prayers and Pixie Dust... it helped me get through today...

Just got back from the hospital...

I am pleased to report that the Queen Mum is resting comfortably...

She is MUCH better than when I left her last night.

The Migraine broke about 3 am... The cardiologist was in to see her, so was PT and OT (she passed all of their quizzes... you know.. touch your nose, etc...) She had an ultrasound to which I proclaimed "Look...it's a BOY!!! (the tech laughed...) She is on a liquid diet and is NOT happy because the crap they're giving her (ices, jello, ginger ale, tea) is NOT the liquid she'd rather be drinking... I promised her a very fruity tropical drink.... asap...

Seriously...

They think that she is having fluctuations in her blood pressure from when she is laying down to sitting to standing... The collapsing that she had (and she doesn't remember any of it... ) is from a Vagel syndrome where you get so sick and you're having the dry heaves (sorry...TMI) and it's a nervous system response - you faint and then you regain consciousness within about 20-30 seconds... (of course those around you think you're dying and freak out... (yeah... that was me... )

It's been a rough one... pretty scary.. first "big" scare I've had with her and I hope it's pretty easy to treat. We will find out...

I joked with her that Bungee Jumping is is now out and that next time I mention the Grand Floridian, she doesn't have to pass out to the extent that I have to call 911...

On a brighter note... the annual Ice Jam has formed around the railroad bridge on the Mohawk River (Erie Canal) which means that Jumpin Jacks will probably be under water by this time...um... Wednesday night... i It's sort of an annual tradition... flood the place and open it up very quickly cause there WILL be a line around the park for the first Jack Burger... (in just 17 days!!!! )

Ok... enough.. I have to go get some sleep...

So relieved that Barb is on the mend.

Good Morning All!

Last night I went to a dinner party with people I used to work with when I first moved (for work) to Chicago. It was only about 8 for dinner, but I know most of these people going back to 1983, when I was 27 years old. Many I haven't seen since about 1991 or 1995.

I was really reluctant to go, but ended up having a great time.

Happy Purim!

(Now go get drunk!)

Michelle - Glad to hear your mom is feeling better

 

[Tink rules]

Thanks for all the pixie dust...

They are going to have mom do a treadmill test... and get some real food into her, so we won't know until later if she's coming home or not...

& Ian... like we needed another reason to go and get drunk???

 

[iankh]

Just so you know, Purim in terms of holiday rankings has equal status with Chanukah. They are both festivals and equal importance.

 

[Tink rules]

This is the one where they have the prune danish??? (sorry, my holidays go by what I eat...)

 

[Tink rules]

By the way... it's Angies Birthday today... I just left her a message over on FB... I think she and Dennis are up in KY this week...

Sort of correct, Hammantashen.

Michelle - to you & Mom. Sorry I didn't get on here yesterday to read your post. Prayers out to you today.

Ian - thanks for explaining Purim - I saw it on my calendar and was curious as to what it was.

Deborah - loved the pics! Makes my 40th look so dull (nothing's planned at the moment). Looks like you guys had a blast.

Marilyn - loved the GS story - aren't kids great?

Holly - good job getting back to doing the evil dvd. I haven't done anything since Saturday.

To our Canadian friends....

Happy belated Commonwealth Day! (not sure what it means but it was yesterday).

To our Canadian friends....

Happy belated Commonwealth Day! (not sure what it means but it was yesterday).

It was? Ooops.

Interestingly it is a holiday that was started in Canada known as "Empire Day" that celebrated belonging to the British Empire. However, it was soon taken over by the Brits and moved to the 2nd Monday in March (from the last school day before Victoria Day) and all Commonwealth nations take part.

Here in Canada it is now only recognized by having the Union Jack flying along side the Maple Leaf at Federal government institutions.

It seems that it is a bigger deal in The Bahamas where there is actual observance of the day.

We in Canada make a bigger deal out of Victoria Day which is in May and is an actual National Holiday. I would bet that most Canadians don't even know about Commonwealth Day.
