Caught me just in time - heading out the door for some quick errands.

Plain and simple - I HATE to leave Pucci, and he HATES to be separated from me. :( The new sitter has 3 little pooches (whom we've met) and it's her Aunt who took Simon).

Our private Ducky activities, Earl:

Sailaway Party compliments of our Agency, hosted by me, starting at 5:00pm in the Crow's Nest - we'll have easy access to the decks to see the sights as we sail down the Hudson River. You should have invitations in your cabin.

Pinnacle Grill Lunch - June 1st at 12:00pm and 12:30pm, with my personal compliments. You should have information in your cabin, including who goes at what time.

Deck Party in the Retreat area - June 2nd from 11:30am to 1:00pm, with my personal compliments. Buffet and selection of drinks will be offered.

Private Bridge Tour - has been confirmed, but I must arrange this once on board Veendam. It's at the Captain's discretion.

As with any group, these activities are open only to the Duck Crew.

Again, safe travels - must run.

Mama Duck

QUACK- QUACK !!!

Just a real quick note. Am in Joplin, MO and we're busy as the proverbial one-legged man in a butt kicking contest.

Will have a lot to brief when I see y'all on Sunday.

Am getting busted out of here tomorrow morning, flying to dc and then driving up to Newark.

May have to go back immediately on return, but will be going on the cruise!

QUACK- QUACK !!!

QUACK QUACK, Calgon. Thank you for the work you and your colleagues are doing during these unbelievably fierce and fatal storms.

I'll look forward to seeing you and Pat, and meeting your grandchildren. :doubleup:

Oh Mary Ann....I'm in the same boat as you are...I am feeling sick about leaving the terrorists. I hate packing...not the clothes so much but the "stuff"....I hate the looooooong flights to get me there but most of all I just hate leaving my "boys" (and my Mom too but at least she understands what is going on!!)

To everyone travelling...go safely!! If you are spending time in "the city"....enjoy it all!! Looking forward to seeing all of you onboard on Sunday!!!

Beryl, I know what you mean about leaving the terrorists! Mama Duck, Cocoa just got sick right in front of me, but at least it wasn't on top of my suitcase, which has been his "outlook post" since the suitcases came out of the attic. He has just come in from rolling in some weed in the back yard that has "velcro seeds" and it took me 25 minutes to get all of them combed out of his hair. I have a picture! Bandit isn't having anything to do with either of us tonight. The critters just don't like disruptions in their lives! jk just called and she and sk are stuck in the Baltimore airport for a 4 hour flight delay, so they will be tired duckies by the time they get to NYC tonight. Calgon, glad you are going to get to cruise! I wouldn't have bet on it at all!!! Please treat my old alma mater kindly - they need lots of TLC in Joplin.

See all of you SOON now!!!! QUACK QUACK

JK and SK have made it to NYC, though with a long flight delay.

Another set of ducks is having flight problems with American Airlines having cancelled a lot of flights because of hail damage.

Pucci refused to eat any food at all yesterday.



I was wondering how he was doing in his new, temporary home.

Thanks for the update on Janice and Steve, Sis.

Next ones I'm wondering about are Jacquie and Leon. I saw where their flight was canceled. :(

That's why we always plan to go at least a day ahead of time when we have to fly somewhere.

I finally had to buy one way tickets on Continental to get to NYC. American couldn't even guarantee that they would be able to get us out of DFW tomorrow, and if they did, we would have a 7 hour layover at DFW. Leon just can't handle that, and I would be a basket case.

I'm sorry Jacquie that you are having such a hard time getting to New York.

Calgon made it in!

Day started at 4:00 am with a two and a-half hour drive from (what's left of ) Joplin, MO to Kansas City to catch my flight. Delts did manage to find my lost luggage from Monday (it ended up in NYC and I wurked the week in Joplin with the clothes on my back and a change of underwear that I bought in a thrift shop. Got back to the DC area. Hit the office and did my travel voucher and time sheet for this week and next. A quick run to my batchelor pad; swappe3d out suitcases and on the road to Newark. Arrived at 1:00 am. One tired duckie!

Then, to get the sucky news about Mama Duck!

SunFlower, NewMoon and Bug arrive at 6:00 am. Off to get a couple hours sleep before I have to go pick 'em up.

QUACKERS everyone....
