boten Posted March 10, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2005 No, No, We just couldn't wait for our July cruise (Connie, British Isles & Norway). We just booked another one for Passover. This is MSC's Opera from Venice on April 23rd. We'll leave for Venice 6 weeks from today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judyfssw Posted March 10, 2005 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Boten, Will you be bringing home more of the blue lounge covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehorizonlover123 Posted March 10, 2005 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I guess you don't keep Passover. But who cares you will have a great time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boten Posted March 10, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted March 10, 2005 CaptData, We will, We will. I promise we will.;) Steve, Ah, The Joy of being orphan:mad: . Have a great cruise, find out the nice spots on Connie and tell us about them when we meet in July. Judy, I don't know if MSC have those blue lounge covers. But you know, the Italians are tough, they throw you to jail, and it's a very notorious jail in Venice, right behind the Bridge of Sighs.:( BlueHorizon, Of course we love Passover. We just don't want to ruin it with the Seder night.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluehorizonlover123 Posted March 10, 2005 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I love Passover just not being with my family for the Sedar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted March 11, 2005 #10 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I love this holiday, love the Seders, love enabling my family to keep the Passover, love the continuity I feel with Jewish women around the world and through the ages as I clean my kitchen in preparation.

boten Posted March 11, 2005 Author #11 Share Posted March 11, 2005 ...you who cruises a lot.... A lot? You kidding me, right? We only cruised once. This will be our second cruise. (but we have 2 more booked:) ) Yes, Passover is a wonderful holiday, school vacation for my wife, working only half days for me, but the Seder has changed since we were kids, no more excitement to "steal" the Afikoman, now we have to pay for it;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfan Posted March 16, 2005 #12 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Boten, my love!!! We will be sailing together!!! Well, not together, exactly.

gkm Posted March 16, 2005 #13 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Boten, what are you going to do in 2006? You should join our wonderful group to Hawaii on March 26. We're going to have such a good time!:D Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkm Posted March 17, 2005 #15 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Well, just pooh Newt. You should just dump that cruise and join the fun group to Hawaii. Just curious, what cruise are you taking two weeks after us? To where and on what ship? Inquiring minds want to know!:confused: Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boten Posted March 17, 2005 Author #16 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Fly, wish we could but with such a short vacation for DW and such a long flight to San Juan I think we'll stick with Venice. Besides, we got a 2fer1 deal so basically it's half price cruise. I'll be waving to you across the pond. Hugs to you & Sparky. Gary, Newt is right. We are booked on the same cruise 4/7/06 out of NJ, 12 nighter on Connie to somewhere Caribbean. Sorry, Can't make it on March, school in session, DW teaching. Newt, only 2 cruises till we meet. Take good care of the Angel for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkm Posted March 18, 2005 #17 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Well Boten, we'll be cruising at the same time (well almost). We'll raise our glasses to you and toast you as you sail the Atlantic while we're sailing the Pacific. We might even toast you more than once.:D ;) Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted March 18, 2005 #18 Share Posted March 18, 2005 We are flying back from our California Coastal on April 24 so we'll have a nice cruise and won't miss Passover!!!! :) :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to have such a good time!:D Garry If you don't want to go to Hawaii, come with us to Cape Liberty for a great sail on the Connie 3/26/06. We have a great group; almost 2,500 posts and it's still too soon to register for the CC party!!! We will be back just before Passover; I checked before we booked!!!

boten Posted March 19, 2005 Author #21 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Carol, the problem with matzo is they hit your stomach like a ton of bricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleSP Posted March 19, 2005 #22 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Carol, the problem with matzo is they hit your stomach like a ton of bricks. Maybe you need some coaching to catch the box before it hits. What about the light as air matzo balls? Or do you get baseballs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boten Posted March 20, 2005 Author #23 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Light as air? That's only in the mouth. Once they travel down the esophagus the air is squeezed out and they reach the stomach as "bricks". (Are we getting graphic enough?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaroleSP Posted March 20, 2005 #24 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I always need a laugh on Sunday..........lightens up the Monday mood. I knew exactly what you meant; it was just a bad joke that fell flat. I can tell you this, my mother lives on prunes during Passover. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
