Spelling was never DJ's DH's strong point:p Packing isn't his strong suit either ... Guess it is time to start asking questions about what to pack for the crossing. Thoughts on what we need to bring in addition to our traditional SD Caribbean clothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Avery Posted October 14, 2010 #381 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Really getting close no matter how you figure it.:D SDII is rather late this year crossing is it not? Looks like there might be a charter right before your crossing (or is it drydock?). I am really looking forward to your take, DJ, with 12 days of "doing nothing". We are used to 6 day (5 days in QE2s early years) Transatlantics so I am not sure how I would like it. Has to beat work.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD2 is going into drydock before the crossing. Not sure what all it will entail but will be sure to let you know what difference/change we learn about on the crossing. This crossing was originally scheduled to leave Europe earlier but it was changed many months ago (ctbjr will have all the details and it involves math so I am staying away from it!:rolleyes:). I plan on posting ... although ctbjr and FT keep telling me that I am going to be way too busy to be on CC:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Avery Posted October 14, 2010 #385 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hey, be happy you get to re stock your Bulgari stash. Ours was just about depleted before our recent SB trip and the Molton Brown just did not do it for us so when we got home, Lois used the last of our Bulgari stash and ordered the stuff from Amazon. Do you know how expensive that stuff is!!!:eek::eek: At least we will smell like SeaDream (Ranger).:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since now DJ's DH has to stay connected for his job too - you can post to your lil' hearts content . . .I won't feel pressured at all, since my all important task to hog my designated poolside chair from just after breakfast until late afternoon. Perhaps an interruption for a walk . . . or not. FT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like holding all those meetings in the Office:p Hey, be happy you get to re stock your Bulgari stash.

Do you know how expensive that stuff is!!!:eek::eek: At least we will smell like SeaDream (Ranger).:D DJ's DH and I were at EPCOT in Walt Disney World last weekend and we stopped in one of my favorite stores in Italy to procure some Bulgari Green Tea as one of my Christmas presents. I like the Green Tea better than the White. I agree that the Molton Brown isn't the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FT Why I am thinking since I am the junior member on this crossing that all the reporting has been assigned to me:p I know that externally they are moving the antenna into the midline.

Now you have to look at the crane on the back of deck 4 and the location of the tender.
