Kathy- maybe, she said they were picking up the new car!! She and Alan may be in NY by now!!

The latest I heard on Dean was that it was going somewhat south of Cozumel, but they still are in danger....wonder how close it will be to Costa Maya?

Yea,it could be a biyearly tradition......

Biyearly==every other year or does it mean twice a year?? Get them confused,but you know what i mean...

Yep, just what I was thinking...great minds, ya' know???
How many days tops can Dennis be away? I think that would narrow the field down, anyway! Just think, the world is awaiting!

He can take off as much as he wants(being self employed)....but if he doesnt work=no pay.........BUT, we can plan accordingly and take off for as long as we want.....

Why?? Thinking of the Canal?? That would be cool................

Hey girls I'm here.:wave

Sorry. I seem to have been swamped with minutiae. Getting the new vehicle, trying to find formal dress shirts for Alan, watching the forecast on Dean, keeping up with the posts on Rhapsody cruise, trying to plan what to take, and of course working. The latter is beginning to get in the way of my life.

We picked up the vehicle on Saturday morning and the guy explained all the gadgets to me. It was quite a long way from where we live and we had driven up in both vehicles( turning the other in) Anyway it has a hands free blue tooth gadget and I kept asking it to call Alan's cell and it kept repeating the wrong number. I finally gave up. I don't think it recognized my accent. :help Then the darned thing began to ring and I got two calls from a guy in a washeteria. The spell check wants me to put in cafeteria.:help

I am so pleased that Dean seems to be heading south of Cancun and Cozumel. I don't think Costa Maya will fare too well if it gets battered, as there is really nothing there to protect them. We just have to hope it goes over the jungle area south of there, and does as little damage as possible. We were a little concerned when it seemed to be going for a hit on Jamaica, as that is our first port of call. I may not bother getting off especially if there is a lot of damage.

I think it would be great to plan the next reunion cruise. I had heard that AOS was being repositioned but I don't remember where abouts. The Captain had told someone on a cruise apparently.

Well I better get of to the RCI Jewel boards and try and catch up. See you later.

Glad you checked in with us Kate.......could only imagine where you went.........

Thats too funny about dialing the wrong number.. :lol

Hope Costa Maya survives for the most part,but its not looking good....trying to catch the latest,but it doesnt appear to be the number one news today.........

OK,one more thing........last week,you taught me cuppa.......tonite it is minutiae.I had to look that one up...

Nite all.................

Hi Kathy,

It's looking very much like we will not get into Costa Maya as reports are saying half the pier has been swept away. I just hope most of them got out in time.

I guess its a shame for the divers like Tom. Was this one of the dives he was looking forward too?
We will have to wait and see what gives. Nothing new to add. Still working. I will be glad for next week to come so I can slack off. I need to start planning my cruise. :)

It sure did. The trouble is it's finding it's way there too often.

We feel the same way as you. We have been trying to get news of CM all day. just worried about how they all fared. Its so tragic for them. I hope they recover I just keep picturing the piers there and the lovely blue sea, and the jungle. It was so peaceful.

Just waiting for Ali to come home he slipped at work today and hurt his ankle. I am hoping it is not broken as he starts his culinary classes soon.


See you tomorrow.

I think its anybodys guess at this time,Martha.....even though I am already researching stuff to do in Roatan..heheh....it would be different,thats for sure........

I sure was looking forward to Mahuahual(?) and just chillin though..

Guest
Yeah...I've been looking at the Roatan thread...guess I will go to the RCI excursion site and check that out...

Would you be interested in a PC reunion cruise in 2009? Kate, would you and Alan be interested since you're going this year?

Kate- hope Ali's ankle is okay...is it the same one he hurt last month?

A PC reunion cruise would work for us..........would be great if we all could plan on doing that...........

It's hard to plan knowing the ships are all moving around! What time of year do you think? Don't know enough to know the best or worse time of year for the PC...guess we need to do some research...also..do we want a one way or return?

Martha

The returns only do a partial transit.........but the airfare would be cheaper.......

The OWs ,you go all the way thru plus hit Mexico on the way,I think.......

Both have positives........bet Kate could help us out here....

Im not sure when it would be better,but my 1st choice would be fall(since our Mariner New years eve cruise(Dec 08-Jan 09) costs quite a bit).....but really anytime would be ok.....
