Radiance 9-14-07 Polar Bear Express "Special"!

Jul praying all will be okay, have a wonderful time.

Jul I have a strong feeling you'll be fine, delayed maybe but fine. I expect we'll be delayed too.

Charlie leave it to you. That was hysterical. Jen pay no mind to the crazy Sassenach. The skirt is lovely. I bookmarked the sites. Thanks.

I am officially PACKED and ready. I'm sitting with a glass of wine waiting for LOST. Jul I think you need a glass.

Haven't heard from Michele, I guess she's busy packing. Hope she has no flight difficulties.

Dogs are at DD's so it's quiet here.

I guess we're ready to roll over again. Try not to chat too much so I can ketchup.

Packing? Nope, not yet. I was too busy on the Chain Mesh dress thread.

Happy travels Sheila. We'll see you onboard. We were going to meet at 3pm at the pool bar. If you see people wearing drink umbrellas in their hair, that would be us.

Yes I need some wine however, If I open a bottle then I will be forced to drink the WHOLE thing so it doesn't go bad........mmmmmmmmm maybe some baileys in cocoa....that'd do the trick too!!!

Packed, zipped and at door........pulled out the util bags and put back in bathroom....clothes laid out.......jackets swapped around........(heavy for way to airport then switch to light)

Feel like I'm forgetting something.......

Said gbye to babies.......dgd is sick so didn't get to get a mooch from her....don't need a virus with a high fever....will email her a picture to print out..

off to get baileys.......anyone want one?????

Safe travels to all that are leaving...............May Polar Bear Power be with you

Hi Charlie.............you have been MIA for a long time. We've missed you.

The snow has finally stopped. We figure that we got at least 14-16 inches.............though in some spots in our back yard it's probably more like 24-30 inches. Total that with what we already had and if I needed anything from our shed, I'd probably not be seen again until Spring. Can't shovel anymore snow off our front deck................there's no place to put it.

Jul, if you are having hot cocoa and like coconut, try putting some Malibu Rum in it! My friend swears it tastes like an Almond Joy! I haven't tried it yet, but plan to!

That sounds Yummy, and I 'm sure it doesn't have any calories either ...

Wishing Kathy, Michelle, Sheila, and Julie safe travels, wonderful adventures and pleasant memories.

Lost ya for a minute.......rollover time!

I imagine by the time I get back you'll be on a whole other page too.....(hope not!!)

Course there is several of us gone so maybe not so much chattering will go on.

KATHY>>>MICHELLE>>>SHEILA>>>BON VOYAGE TOO!!! Happy and safe travels y'all!!!

WHEW--I just had something wierd happen. I was in the process of posting a reply & my aunt called. so I then finish the post & hit send and it tells me it was locked. I then clicked on the last link I had & it said there were no posts. I wondered what someone had said . wen to portal & got in that way.

I was trying to post that I bought coca today & think I will have a chocolae armadillo tonight. I like that ALmond Joy bit, I think I might have a little bitty bottle of malibu rum. I'll sacrifice for the group & let y'all know if it does taste like an almond joy

bon voyage Sheils, Michelle and JUl---drink an ANYTHING you want for me

Brenda, every 990 post the thread locks and rolls over to a new one! It takes some getting used to, but we all eventually find each other! LOL

BYE SHEILA and MICHELLE too! I'll be gone when some of you get back, so it will be kind of quiet for a while... well, maybe!!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen who do you get your travel insurance from? I have tried different companies but wondering who you all like and why. I have noticed looking at policies today that the basic does not seems to cover miss connections or bankruptcy. Then again I could be mixing up things in my mind

I do mine thru the cruiseline but not sure that's the best one.......I need to do some heavier research on it when I get home

Patti, I missed your weather report before! Oh, my, you have it worse than our last storm! Thankfully the last round missed us! I haven't seen the long range forecast, but am hoping next weekend is clear!

Thanks Julie, I haven't done the insurance through them, because I remember someone telling me if then went under there was no way to get your money back. Third party was suppose to be better, but when I didn't get my luggage on the Radiance member's cruise I thought my insurance carrier would cover some of the things I need to buy, they said no, because I didn't agree to have my suitcase shipped to the first port stop. Hey I didn't trust the express bus people to get it to me when the ship was in port. Then I would have had to have it shipped back home again at my expense a second time.

Patti.......I hate getting that amount of snow........The last time we got 24" it was totally melted and gone within 2 days......was crazy!!

Hope u don't need anything from your shed for a while!!

BON VOYAGE ALL YOU CRUISERS....STAY SAFE, MAKE ALL FLIGHTS, AND HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME!!!!!!

Bren - Cut it out....GINNY IS GOING WITH US!!!!!!!!!!

Ginny - So glad you did it!!! Yes, the board is not very exciting, but we still have a couple of months. I'll have to look, but we'll be getting in to Vancouver about the same time on Air Canada.

Susan - Next time I'm in a dither (which is often), I'll run it by you to solve it!

Jen - Veeeeeeeeeery nice. I agree, match up with solid color...the blue would be great.

Patti - How many feet of snow did YOU shovel? On the bright side, if there's no where to put it, you won't have to shovel for a while.

Jean - UGH, don't envy your job unpacking. We've been her 15 years and I still have "stuff" in boxes in the attic. Undoubtedly don't need whatever is in them.

Charlie - Nice to have you stop by with a zinger. LOL

Kathy - No posts? I guess she's busy sorting out THE LIST!

thanks for the explanation Susan. I was a bit in a panic

I'm bummed, no malibu rum, just the empty stupid little bottle

Bon V Juls...have a great cruise, drink a cosmo for me....

And to all sailing!

Hi all...........

I have been way busy today........and tomorrow I head to Cocoa Beach early........hope everyone that has a flight can make it.............and YES, we are spoiled.................I'll be be back Monday..
