Thumbs UP to Suer for getting the scoop on the pier area. :thumb As for the E Tour to Trunk Bay we are STILL UP for it as the taxi ride is still ONLY 10 mins longer each way than from Havensight. As we are in port for 10 hours I would think we could still get in a good 5 hours at Trunk Bay. Of course this will put a serious crimp in the shoppers time. =shrug Guess we WILL find out who the shoppers are vs who the Beach Gang are??? :grin As for the SDM status we ALWAYS start it from the time we leave on vacation so ours starts probably a bit earlier than MOST as we usually get in a day or two early. :dance I guess it is to each ones preference regarding the SDM status as they see it as the rules on SDM status are rather lax. :grin Now one week from today gang we shall be assembling for are 1st dinner together. :dance

Oh well this is an easy flow cruise. Nothing serious planned and going with the flow. Suitcases are in car as we are going no place for a few days. Tomorrow it will be work the leaves day. Paw will have to rest up on the drive east. Carry on bag and motel bag on table waiting for last minute items. As you can tell we are not excited and anxious to go. Looking forward to that meal next Friday night.

Ah red, you never disappoint, a "little" longer taxi ride? Is that opposed to a bigger shorter one?

I am prepared, being as I guess you owe me a zinger or two.........................

Getting down to the wire. Just to recap what has been discussed for gathering times and laughs:

-10/30 EVERYONE arrive on board safely

10/30- meet at 3:30 Lido deck, side of the ship facing the dock at the Dolphin Bar

10/30 sailaway 5:00 ish (I am assuming) Aft poor area, again the side of the ship that is facing the dock.

11/2 second sea day. 11:00 am or if trivia is at that time 2:00pm for the scavenger hunt provided by Lisa63.
Lido deck, Dolphin bar. Bring a writing utensil and a frozen thingee.

I think everyone agrees on the C@ quote "It is your cruise", and participation for the above is up to you.
Everyone is welcome to join in, the more the merrier. (that was for you newbies to the board)

The local channel here in Norfolk has called for next Friday to be sunny and 72 degrees and next Saturday to be sunny and a high of 68 degrees. Much better than the cruise I took a year ago out of Norfolk, it was foggy and cold.
Hope to see everyone next Saturday on the boat.

Thankx KE4NXW. That sounds a lot better than the frost I am seeing outside now. You know where I will be next Saturday, hope to see you at one of the above gatherings.

At the rate I am going.. I will have the whole darn house spring cleaned by next Thursday :lol I am so antsy that I can not keep still. Suer, another block of cupboards sorted out this morning.. it is amazing what you find.. I sat there looking at my stuff from the maiden voyage of the QE2 the cheapest berth on her back then was around $250 :grin that big suite was a few coins shy of $3000

The bad news is.. that I rounded up a ton more photos to add to my stash.. So right now everything for putting into albums is starting to fill up a rather large hardsided suitcase :grin It will take me a year to do all of it :lol

Well... off to find another closet or something ..

There seemed to be more of a sense of urgency about packing here LOL. I guess until the suitcases are out we put it off. We've found it just got so much easier after we did a few cruises. I can't believe all the stressing and extra stuff we brought on the first ones. Well my break is over. Trying to get chores done around the house. Talk to you all tomorrow or later tonight.

Hurricane weenie is all under control. :jump My dinning room is back to normal :lol The gazillion boxes of nick knack's I was housing for the in-laws while they were under renovation, are now back in their possession.

The closet and drawers now have "long" johns and winter stuff in them :(. BUT, that means the cruise is soon. Those clothes are all organized and ready to be put in the appropriate suitcase. Thursday hurry up !!!!
I still have a few things to iron, red you interested :lol

I hope packing for Alaska will go this smoothly......

Now it is time to sit back and watch the Spills get their butts kicked.

Spent some time doing shopping for the cruise and mowing the yard yesterday. Planned on doing more outside stuff today, putting in some new plants, etc. But the weather's not cooperating, raining and drissling on and off.

So I think I'll sit down and fill out the luggage tags and credit card authorization for the cruise. Perhaps try on some clothes.
