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

Can someone verify if we have the final navigator posted? I've been waiting for the final version before I print it out and I'm not sure if I missed the notification or not.

Thanks!

Hi all

Sorry all! Final Version has now gone to Penny to sort and will hopefully be ready shortly! Sorry I've got so behind its just manic here at the moment! Fingers crossed itll be ready tomorrow!

Its usually a lot cheaper before you get to the airport as well.

If you don't prepay on Air Berlin, it is double the cost!!

I don't think we signed up for the room tour either. It says the database is down on the website so I am not sure.

Sue and/or Glenn may be working on the database today. I am sure there will be lots of people who have not signed up that will show up so that is why I suggested maybe we should stagger the room tours.

Yep, it was me. I've been AWOL (well, lightly skimming) for the last two weeks, but today I was importing the info for all the tastings.

Since those who are showing their rooms will also want to see the other type staterooms, what if those people led off the group, as soon as they finished seeing a room they could then head off to open their rooms. Kind of a rolling tour, rather than a massive group going room-to-room.

So if dizneyHolic was first in line, as soon as they finished with Orlandothebeagle's room, they could go to their's to open it up. Then would follow Buckeye Gal, and so on.....

A couple of days ago there was talk here about the TSA locks and straps for international use. I just bought a strap at my local Walgreens. It is a Safe Skies TSA luggage strap. It says approved for international travel. It is adjustable for small to large suitcases and has a combination lock built in. The warranty on the back says if the starp is clipped or damaged by the TSA during travel they will replace it as "TSA has been trained on how to open and relock them". We bought it to use on our one hardside Samsonite that has the old locks we can't use and no way to put on the small tsa pad locks. I hate leaving it unlocked for fear it will spring open and spill everything. Plu I hate those little padlock. It was only $7.00. val

I think that is a good solution for you especially since that the strap is warranted by Safe Skies. I subscribe to the theory that locks just keep honest people, honest. I made detailed lists and pictures of what we have inside our suitcases so if I need to make a claim, I have the documentation.

John and I just use cable ties that if clipped, we can replace with more of them from the extra ones we carry with us in our carry on luggage.

Take care and safe travels Tim and Kathy. See you in Barcelona
One by one we are gradually disappearing

What Sarah said!!!

Safe travels EVERYONE!!! I cannot wait to meet you all!!!

That would be my family too .... both my Nan and Mum put on weight into their late 40s and 50s. I have noticed it is a lot harder to shift any excess baggage after passing 45.

TBH I noticed it got harder the day I hit 40, Sarah!!!

Just booked my tickets for Universals Holloween Horror Nights<

Which it appears i will be attending ON MY OWN

my other 3 friends i'm with in WDW after the cruise are all to afraid to join me.

Maybe i'll run in to some familiar face from the cruise if any of you are attending and you can hold my hand

Good luck with that!!!

My two sons went a couple of years ago and one of them vowed never to return!!! My youngest son, my daughter and her partner are all attending this year. Fools!!!!!!!!!

 

[granmaz]

Any idea if we can buy them in the shop, Marilyn? I have a lightweight DCL Fairytale Wedding one that I could possibly pack - I'll have to give it some thought...

I believe they do have some onboard but they aren't the same as in the gift. I don't know if they are better, worse, more expensive or cheaper!! I would just pack your light one.

If I have the room, I will. Thanks Marilyn...

 

[KermitRocks]

Maybe you can prepay for them with your airline like we are doing so it will be a done deal and you don't have to think any more about the costs!!

I thought about that and called American Airlines first thing this morning and they said I can't prepay for extra luggage. I'll have to wait until I get to the airport.

 

[minimousefan]

I hope so, Its also stressful stuck at work and everybody packing.

Hvae fun, see you soon.


We went to that a few years ago post cruise it was actually pretty scary.

LOL

That is a shame as it makes so much less stress!!

ATTENTION ALL BERNARD TOUR ST MAARTEN MEMBERS

Since I have not heard from Betty (grmmybtty) about our meeting place, I have email her to ask the following in red:

Do you want people to meet on the dock and go together to meet the Bernard tour or do you want them to meet at the Bernard tour office?

Once I have an answer from her, I will post. If I don't hear from her before we sail, please be sure I have your stateroom number via PM so I can let you know via voice mail once we are on board.

This keeps getting missed

Our cat 6 is a handicapped one. So it should go under special.

Thanks. Which means we do not have a regular 6 though I know others offered.

Never done this so it should be interesting and fun

Sorry about that, I will pm glenn and ask him to change it.
I am also sorry I have not got an ordinary cat 6 in the tour, life can be a bit hectic sometimes and maybe I should not have taken this on because the truth is Ive struggled to keep on top of it, I have such total and utter respect for Sue and Noel and the others that are orginzing the biggies.

Please don't apologize!! I don't have a full time job so I could devote more time to the tours etc. Sue is the real star here as she not only has a full time job, she has young children.

I know, she is a super star, I dont know how you guys do it.

Its so frustrating being stuck at work, I am waiting on news about a dear dear friend thats in hospital.. I feel so detached.
