mickeysgal Posted April 30, 2009 #376 Share Posted April 30, 2009 And you said I was going to scare him? A bit much, huh? Sorry about that. :o Too much caffeine tonight. Not even close to tired yet. I'm trying real hard to put aside my flu fears and get my enthusiam back for this cruise. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daring Posted April 30, 2009 Author #377 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Cheer up, if something happens where we can't go, we will plan to go on the next one together. Meanwhile Richstan is going to make it and we have to be excited for him. Good night MG; I've had a rough day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi1 Posted April 30, 2009 #378 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Not trying to bring the party atmosphere down, but I thought we all might be interested in this. Here's a map that shows by pinponts what cases there are at the moment. I will say that it has changed significantly in Spain from when I saw it this morning - not saying it's grown, but probably they're trying to get all data loaded? http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&t=p&msa=0&msid=106484775090296685271.0004681a37b713f6b5950&ll=32.639375,-110.390625&spn=15.738151,25.488281&z=5 Okay, seeing it on a map like that IS a little scary.

JeanaR Posted April 30, 2009 #380 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'm still excited about the trip and not really worried about the flu, since all the cases here in America are mild. Even if I got it, I don't expect to die from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daring Posted April 30, 2009 Author #381 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Do you mind if I copy and paste some of your Meet and Greet invite. I especially like the part about the true southern accent. That applies to me too you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannda Posted April 30, 2009 #382 Share Posted April 30, 2009 That's my favorite store right now! Both Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft are having their friends and family discount until Saturday, I think. Do you have the coupon for it? I "saved" $60! :o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daring Posted April 30, 2009 Author #383 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Yes, but I'm afraid I'm a little maxed out on shopping for now except I'm looking for some comfortable platform strappy heals for the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richstan Posted April 30, 2009 #384 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hi Cruise Friends! I am not concerned about the flu. I live in NYC and everyday its something so I am used to the hype! Someone asked about an ATM location--well based on past cruises it is usually located close to or inside of the casino! I have to pop into the office for a little bit and then I am on VACATION! I will do my best to come back with a ton of info! I will be around til Saturday so this isn't "au revoir" yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not worried about getting it but that the flu will expand so much that travel advisories would prevent us from going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spent way too much lately getting ready for this cruise. Fortunately, I still had a good bit of money left on a gift card that I received for Christmas. :o) So yesterday's shopping was almost free. :o) I still have a bunch of other stuff to buy.....security pouches, money belt for DH, secure small cross body purse, one more pair of shoes, travel toothbrush, and I am sure a bunch of stuff I am forgetting right now.

divagrrl23 Posted April 30, 2009 #393 Share Posted April 30, 2009 How wonderful! What a great way to start a marriage. I hope that your marriage will be as fulfilling as mine has been for me. I'm not saying it's always easy but definitely rewarding and worth it. Thank you!! My fiance and I have been saving for two years so that we would be able to do this just right! He wanted to cruise or do an all-inclusive at a resort. But I wanted to see Europe! So we compromised and found a happy resolution! I hope that this will be a trend for our marriage! But now that I've recently lost my job, I am looking for ways to cut costs in the ports without compromising our experience. But, not letting it dampen my excitement!!! :D:D:D ~gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness I like to play survivor but now I'm ready to live high on the hog (no not swine). We eat a lot of dry beans too.

Gregor4500 Posted April 30, 2009 #395 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Rich, After you leave I think I might be the only guy left on this thread. Reading about what shoes to wear...lol... What a great thread though. Copies of menus would be great. Trying to decide which night to go to LaBistro I'm not too worried about the flu, nothing we can do about it so why worry.

richstan Posted May 1, 2009 #400 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I am too excited to sleep! Tonight between 9-10 is fine---which time zone?
