It can;t come fast enough !!!

 

[JacquieP]

I agree, Earl, I agree! QUACK

 

[ShipMaven]

Well...we lopped off 14 days when our sailing date changed. I think that's all we can do. We don't need any more such changes...... QUACK QUACK

 

[J.E. M.]

Yesterday when I reviewed my reservation status that a lot of the shore excursions have been listed for our cruise.

 

[ShipMaven]

Thanks for the heads up, Jim.

 

[JacquieP]

I wonder why HA charges us for shore excursions when we book them? Guess I'm spoiled to the Princess way of doing things! I hesitate to book any of them in case Leon's mobility issues change, but there are a few I don't want to miss. QUACK

 

[ShipMaven]

I agree about charging up front, Jacquie, but they ARE refundable up to a short time before sailing.

Seattle's City Bird--

On March 17,2003, the City Council designated the Great Blue Heron as the official City Bird. Resolution 30586 notes that the designation "will raise public awareness of ... habitat requirements of this species, and foster public stewardship for its continued existence..." The Seattle Audubon Society sponsored a yearlong campaign and public contest to select the City Bird. In voting that took place at nature centers, City parks, and in school classrooms, the Heron defeated its nearest rival, the common Crow, by a margin of two to one.

They don't honor DUCKS???

For those who may not have bought airline tickets to Seattle yet, you might want to check airline fares today (Tuesday). Alaska Airlines, for one, has some cheapies.

 

[audrey]

I am happy to say I do have our airline tickets got them about a month ago
