Aw, I see. Thanks for clarifying that!
Well, I just realized on the receipt they also added $10 for what- I do not know. I wasn't informed I'd be charged that... so that's their profit, no need to also make the rate higher. Got me both ways apparently.
I think I meant adaptor. not converter. I'm not sure. I hadn't thought about it until a friend (whose son just returned from a trip to Europe) offered to let us borrow theirs if we need it... only then did I think about it. I think she probably said adapter. LOL Thanks!
Yes to all the above.
Oh, you mean more specific questions?
Well I'm curious mostly about what transportation you used in Barcelona and how much and how that went/etc.
Oh and here's a question for everyone please.. Um, I thought I needed to make sure the kids had summer-ish clothing that actually fit well (because they are growing like weeds) but then it dawned on me... this trip is not the caribbean and it's slightly later than we normally cruise anyway. So like I went online to look up weather in Barcelona in Sept and it says 72 is the norm?
FOR REALS?
Ohmy we are gonna be freezing -we're used to 100+ degree weather for like... forever now. LOL Or I'm gonna have to pack warmer clothing and that's gonna be hard to pack us all in carryons... eek.
so yeah, is this cruise gonna be in the lower 70's all the way thru? Till we get towards the tail end of the cruise? yes, no? maybe so? Help! What are ya'll packing to wear on a daily basis for the cruise/at ports?
And phooey- looks like no scuba diving for me. Been dealing with sinus and ear issues since April and although I didn't even know anything was wrong in that respect (went in originally with sore throat and hoarseness that wasn't going away- turns out was a side effect of sinusitis) - it was pretty bad and I was running fever without realizing it and everything. So now I've been on all these steroid shots & pills, 2 nasal inhalers (one steroid based), decongestants, anbitiotics for awhile, etc. and again thought I was fine... except for the vertigo when I leaned my head back or when I laid down.
So a check up yesterday and turns out the sinuses are still crap and my ears are still crap- especially the left one. Eustachian (sp?) tube on that side apparently completely clogged and he had me force air to see but on the left side it blew up like a balloon and didn't go back down (ie: the air forced in there couldn't get back out the way it was forced in)
And it looks like more rounds of antibiotics, stay on the same meds, and if not better in 2wks (like that's gonna happen) then I have to go see another dr and get tubes in my ears.
At 41yrs old.
sigh...
AND he thinks I have ear stones? I've never heard of such!
And wants me to do vertigo exercises to help that, that basically consist of rolling around in certain positions? Also never heard of such. Learn something new everyday. LOL
(he did say left ear had a lot of scar tissue and I had a lot of ear infections throughout my childhood that were basically taken care of by aspirin, oil and smoke and stuff put in my ear and law on a couch till it stopped hurting. I didn't see the dr much in my childhood.. that's for sure. I've also had always had to pop my ears a lot when flying -or else have excrutiating pain in both ears upon liftoff and landing)
so yeah. Probably gonna have to cancel scuba diving with the fam.
That was really the only excursion I was looking forward to. The rest are all a lot of walking, looking at stuff, etc Which is all fine and good... but we like to do more water active things. LOL
Meanwhile, you're gonna see me at my heaviest weight EVER (even when pregnant with Robert- which is really saying something...) because I guess the steroids are making me gain weight. I dunno. I'm not doing anything to gain past my "top weight" that I usually stay at no matter HOW horrible I eat. Since I started the meds- just gaining left and right since April. I'll be the bloated lady waddling around- you'll recognize me for sure. Especially if I can't find any clothes that fit me and have to wear the same few clothes every few days. grrrrrrrrr (not really all that interested in buying clothes to fit this weight but sigh.... guess I'm gonna have to atleast try. Wish i was the same weight I was last year -again. sigh) I can't even fit my pirate shirt I ordered! *cries*
eh well... could be worse, could be much worse. So no more complaining from the pillsbury dough-lady. LOL
