Thanks Ziggy. I have two days left and counting the hours!!:) We live local, so we have DW's son picking us up at 11:00 AM, so we can be at the port for early embarkation. I already told JohnR49er that I'll be racing him up the gangway for first on the ship.:D

[tjcletsgo]

Thanks so much, Ziggy! You live local, too..........sure wish you were sailing also! I haven't seen one other CC'er on this cruise! Maybe the Ryndam will be half empty???

Yeah, I don't think so, either!

Janie :D

[tjcletsgo]

DUH! :p

Ziggy, you graciously listed my fellow CC passengers on your post.

THANK YOU!! :-))):D

[Cinder]

Thanks for the bon voyage, and bon voyage to my friends Gayle and Joe on the Rotterdam! Can't wait to sail with you again! I'll be with Marc and John on the Maasdam... wonder if Luke and Matthew are coming???

[Ziggy7]

DUH! :p

Ziggy, you graciously listed my fellow CC passengers on your post.

THANK YOU!! :-))):Dhehehe you caught it before I could say something. I wish I could go on your cruise, but my checkbook has a few cobwebs on it hehehe :)

[Roboat]

Yes, everyone, I hope you have wonderful cruises!

Orcrone - that 10 days out of Norfolk on the Maasdam sounds terrific! Nice that you don't to drive or fly to get to the pier. Well, sounds like you actually WILL be flying to get to the pier.;) Can't say I blame you!:)

[iluvcruzin]

Thank you Ziggy! I'm going to be leaving in a few hours to start my road trip to Norfolk. I'm soooo ready!

Marc & John... I will be waiting for you with the black checkered flag at the end of the gangway. After all.. ladies before gentleman.. LOL:p

[Orcrone]

Actually, I'm reevaluating whether I need to be there at 11:30. After all, the Lido doesn't open until noon.:D

[LAFFNVEGAS]

OH MY, there are just a whole Bunch of CCers leaving this weekend. I thought the board were quite this week. Something tells me the next few weeks will be even quieter.

All you great folks that get to leave this week I hope you all have a wonderful cruise. We will all be waiting for reports whne you get home.

Bon Voyage!!! Enjoy!!!!:p

[ekerr19]

Bye everyone! Have great cruises!

A special good bye to Orcrone who has been patiently waiting almost the entire year for his first HAL cruise on the Maasdam - Marc, I can't believe it's finally here - ENJOY. :D

ekerr, How long will you be gone, don't you leave tomorrow or Saturday?

Marc, also a special Bon Voyage we have all been watching the time fly till you leave. I hope you Maasdam cruise is great, looking forward to hear your report.

Have a great cruise both of you, you will be missed.

[JoeCruisin]

Thanks Ziggy! I can hardly control the excitement. Work suddenly seems so pointless - more so than usual. I'm glad I can go on this trip without having to worry about missing a Red Sox World Series Game! Sox beat the Yankees, then win the World Series, the Pats are looking for #22 in a row, we just had layoffs at my company but I avoided the ax...many things to celebrate. Get me to a bar on the Oosterdam fast!!!

Lisa-

We leave 11/1/04 - we need to leave for the airport at about 2:00 pm - British Air said if we get there early enough, they will do something for us, seat wise.

Expedia tried to get us upgraded for a mere $6,323 per person, since it was a just tad bit outside our budget we felt it best to decline... :eek:

Our kids will be in school, so we have to go by the school and say "bye" to our daughter or she will never forgive us!

Since we will be at the airport for abour 4 hours before our flight leaves - I'm pretty certain I will be feeling no pain once we board the plane (DH either!)

There is still so much to do - but this is my last day at work, so as you can see I am working frantically on getting my work all caught up! ;)

I will check in before we leave! Talk to you later... :)

[Sue's Mom]

Have wonderful cruises everyone.

[Orcrone]

Lisa and Ekerr,

Thank you very much. I don't know about the next two days flying by. I've been real busy at work today, which normally makes the day fly by. But today is draaaggggginnnnnggggggg........ I just want to go home and get ready for the cruise.

I've also been watching as the other people on the roll call thread have been departing, one by one, on their road trip to Norfolk. Tomorrow's a short day for me also. My mother (who's watching our daughters) is flying in at 2:00, so I'll be leaving a little after one. Tonight we have to head out and get what is hopefully the last couple of things. Then I'd like to pack up everything I can, with the exception of things I'll need before Saturday.

I won't be posting from the ship, but I plan on taking notes and posting when I get back.

Now, no new dress code threads while I'm gone.:D

[ekerr19]

Are you kidding!!! This one hasn't even started its last gasps yet!

[RuthC]
