So I've been trolling Ebay looking for Fish Extenders, trying to decide if I just want to get a cheap one or a custom one. I'm at my mom's today and she opens her closet door and there is a lime green, 4 pocket, Mickey Mouse FE hanging on the inside!! I screamed "FISH EXTENDER!!" and she jumped back and almost had a heart attack! "What the ++++ are you talking about?" my mom says.
So of course, I explained what an FE is. Turns out that she bought it at a garage sale a couple years ago for my kids, and according to her I tried to talk her out of it. So now we'll just get something to write our names on it and we are good to go!
Moving down my checklist: cruise - booked and paid for; airline tix - booked and paid for; rental car for return drive home - booked; hotel in BCN - booked, partially with points ; lanyards and pins -done; transport from hotel to port - done; PM'd Pat about FE's - done
Still to do: all excursions; online check in 12:01am June 27; Dis T shirt; sign up for mojito and mixology and secret mickey; pack, fly to Barcelona and CRUISE......
Such a cool story
I'm off to bed. I MC'd the retirement ceremony for the Colonel who was Dennis' boss's boss today. I also did the change of command ceremony for them on Monday. Twice in one week I had to wear "grown up" clothes - dress, heels, and (ugh!) hose. And Spanx, of course. Then I had to do a quick change and get to the commissary to work.
Can't say I don't lead an interesting life. In the afternoon I'm introducing a two-star General to a crowd of people and two hours later I'm bagging groceries. Funny old world, isn't it?
Wow that is a switch out!
So you may want to take precautionary bottles in Barcelona just in case Morrison's is closed.

Ba ha ha ha ha a precautionary bottle?????
Thanks to all the disboard members who have been playing our excursion and activities The only place we don't have anything planned is Gibraltor. Since we have never been there we want to see what it has to offer. Should we wait and hire a taxi at the port or book an excursion through DCL. Any info greatly appeciated.
Yes thanks to everyone putting all the hard work in long before I was contemplating this cruise!
Gibraltar, I did post earlier about our bad experience with a prebooked tour. There were plenty of taxi's right outside just looking to give you a tour. BUT be warned. Make sure that they agree to exactly what you want up front, and if you want to get out and actually walk around something, be clear that is your plan (ie the Moorish castle, many do drive by's and consider that you have "seen" it). Unfortunately, the more "tours" they can do in a day, the more money they can make, so some of the more unsavory drivers are going after volume. I do think this time with DD I am going to do the sky tram thing (can't think of the name) to the top, see the cave, do the apes, and if I can figure out a way will do WW2 tunnels (different from the seige tunnels). I will probably just pay out of pocket for rides to where we need to go as we go along and plan on walking down. (you can easily get taxis at the port and downtown off the main street, not so much from the attractions, unless someone is willing to share) OR I will very firmly negotiate what we want and make sure I have pounds to pay with. Do NOT do NOT plan on using Euros. Bad bad bad exchange.
