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

[KermitRocks]

hi

yeah just done my last repacking of my suitcase

i have gone with the approach "well i need that .. i bought it its going in if i am over and i am will pay the excess"

jason

Oh my! I'm not at the RE-packing stage yet and I only have 19 hours until take-off, 15 hours from the time I have to leave my house. I'm still trying to get stuff in on the first round.

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

That's true. I'm just thankful I get one suitcase included with the cost of my ticket. I was booking airfare for a Jan 2011 trip and some airlines charge for every bit of luggage you bring on. I think that is ridiculous.

 

[Buckeye Goofy]

I think thats what I saidIt sounded better when you said it though.

Oops, you may have said it verbatim for all I know. Been AWOL a while and have missed tons, and I only get every eighth word of what I do read.

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 miss alot. Fixed now

 

[orlandothebeagle]

This is why I find this difficult to keep up.
I am sorry, but are you not in a cat CAT 8?????????????handicap?
If your not Ive really,really messed up.

Ok ... 4 cases ... don't rub it in !!!!!!

I am trying to squish everything into just 2 big wheeled bags and 2 small cabin bags !!

sorry Sarah!

Just want to say, because people are up and travelling at all times now and I will miss some folk saying goodbye.

Have safe and enjoyable journeys and see you on Saturday if not before at the HRC meet or in the Praktik Rambla.

Ditto to that!!!

I have just sorted out my jewellery .... and I am still finishing off the scavenger hunt sheets .... it's taking forever !!

Now I feel a bit nauseous after the lunchtime slimfast .... might be time to stop it now .. I don't know if I lost any more weight but I feel better about myself, and to be honest I am getting to the "past caring" stage.

Besides ... I am going on a Disney Cruise

Sarah do take care of yourself!

Pausing for a breather so thought I'd pop by and say "hi"...

Most of my packing is done!!! Just the long dresses to be added at the last possible moment, methinks. Can't find my luggage scales (I may have lent them to DD Sophie) but I doubt there will be an issue as the cases themselves aren't overly large - still, can't hurt to check...

Still have to sort out the bling!!! But that shouldn't take long as I have a good idea of what I want to bring. And most of my toiletries are good to go from my last trip - just have to refill a couple of the bottles.

Also I worked out what I'm travelling to Barcelona in - one less thing to think about...

Anyway, better get back to the matter in hand!!! Catch up with you all later...

Good for you Kaz, we just had a break and went for a long swim....lovely! I'm leaving my formal things til last minute too....

We were able to get everything into one checked bag each , one is 46 lbs and the other 48 lbs. We will each have two carry ons. Kathy is working on finishing the pirate costumes and all is packed, except the last minute stuff. We leave tomorrow morning for Portland, OR and will be in Barcelona Wednesday morning .

Safe travels all and we look forward to seeing/meeting everyone . We will be on the lookout for the DISers at our hotel (Praktik Barcelona) and then the HRC meet.



Tim and Kathy
Roseburg, Oregon USA

Safe travels and see you soon!

 

[UKANGEL]

Bum! Just messed up the rest of my multi quotes and can't remember what I was going to say............

Probably not massively important....I'll see you all soon anyway!

 

[UKANGEL]

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.

Lynne, you've done brilliantly! A someone who couldn't even think of organising anything I am in awe of you all.......

 

[orlandothebeagle]

no its fine,,,, it would be me, I really cant remember, thanks for sorting it.

I think the folk that pmd me decided that 14 rooms would be enough.
This list was done a month ago so can everybody just check it please.
I am not so confident

 

[orlandothebeagle]

Lynne, you've done brilliantly! A someone who couldn't even think of organising anything I am in awe of you all.......

Thanks, how is your daughter holding up?

 

[steamboat will]

Good luck with that!!!

My two sons went a couple of years ago and one of them vowed never to return!!!:

OH GREAT....

[birkner]

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.

and prayers for your friend that is in the hospital. Maybe that is really why you are feeling so upset!!

You just have a different skill set being so patient and loving with animals. If we were all the same, wouldn't life be boring?

 

[CustardTart]

Bum! Just messed up the rest of my multi quotes and can't remember what I was going to say............

Probably not massively important....I'll see you all soon anyway!

That keeps happening to me!!! Tho' maybe I'm just a bit slow on the thread...

Lynne, you've done brilliantly! A someone who couldn't even think of organising anything I am in awe of you all.......

I have to agree - Lynne, you've done an amazing job!!!

OH GREAT....



SW

Sorry!!!

 

[steamboat will]

ha ha,was going to tell you a story but im not so its exciting for you

OK.. in this story did a large teddy bear approach you with a box of cookies perhaps??

Or maybe you relaxed beside a woodland stream and fluffy rabbits came out and scampered round your feet singing songs????

i'm hoping i'm pretty close

I'm sorry about your friend. I hope it is good news you hear.

Lynne, you've done brilliantly! A someone who couldn't even think of organising anything I am in awe of you all.......

I so agree. I'm just organising one small thing for a very small group and I keep making mistakes etc. Just not my thing organising, and you have done a great job Lynne.

She's ok, very up and down, she's back at the GP tomorrow where she'll be put on new meds......thats my worry really, how she'll take to them...

Thanks for asking

 

[tweety0227]

Wanted to pop on and say safe travels to everyone. Even though I didn't post too often, I'm always reading. Finally started packing today. We leave Wednesday evening for arrival in Barcelona on Thursday. (wow...I can't even believe it as I type it) So excited and nervous. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

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!

Great - I don't leave until Thursday so plenty of time. I'm just trying to make sure I print out the last version to avoid using excess paper.

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.

Seriously, everyone on this thread that has organized something has done an absolute terrific job. We all owe a debt of gratitude to everyone that has stepped up to make this a fantastic vacation cruise!!!

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.

for your friend that everything works out.

and I only get every eighth word of what I do read.

I heard that about you....
