We haven't updated this list in more than a year.
Are there any others out there, or those who are no longer with us?

Ngaire and Ken
Linda and Ron
Olivia
Suzie & Marilyn
Peggy & Jerry
Suzanne
Michele and Don
Anne and Gary
Fred and Pat
Carolyn and Don
Sheila and Ken
Eugene and Gail

Thanks for bringing this up Olivia!

The previous rollcall was very much out of date and as we are awaiting news of cruise docs we should be able to get it updated.

Thanks, Olivia - it's been a long time comin'! Suzanne, that camel of yours lapping up the vino in the photo is making me thirsty! Can't wait....let the camel races begin :) :yummy1:

Okay, I think we are booked at Grand Hyatt in Dubai, right, Suzanne? Peter told us about a coupon. Anyone NOT there with us?

We also sent names to Ngaire for big dinner bash in the dunes. I think she was arranging it. I sure hope so!

Michele, until you mentioned it, I never noticed that Suzanne was letting that camel have a sip of her wine!

Yes Olivia madness in the dunes that is my plan, along with camel races with alluring jockeys and all types of fun things.

Grand Hyatt will be home for us too.

Honestly, Ngaire, I think you work 24/7! I am only up late because I had a rare "nap" today!

I'm getting so excited! :3smile:

We're at the Grand Hyatt also. Last I looked (a week or so ago)there were still some rooms available for some of the days using the Premier coupons. Can't wait for the Dune madness and everything else Dubai has to offer.

Olivia,

Yes we are at the Grand Hyatt.

The camel drank all my wine. He knows an oasis when he sees one.

I am stocking up on my favorite morning tea in anticipation of reading your CAMEL posts :hello1: :hello1:

Yes, ditto Joanna! I can't wait for the reports!

Gail and I will still be onboard, even though we'll miss the fun and games in Dubai. As I've mentioned before, we're taking the pre-cruise trip to Cairo, and we will just arrive in Dubai the day we sail. I hope they take us on a scenic route to the ship.

Looking forward to seeing you again, Eugene and Gail!

We're also looking forward to seeing you, Olivia, and others we met on PANDA, as well as others whose posts we've read on LCT over the last FOUR years (hard to believe).

Eugene

Come fly with me, lets fly, lets fly away
If you can use, some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Dubai
Come fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away-y-y-y :banana: :banana:

You guys are going to have the BEST time ever!!! Tom and I are really envious and wish we could be with you!

Ditto what Marcie said - I will be thinking of you all having so much fun while :mecry: :mecry: :mecry: :mecry: at same time because we aren't with you!!

I am green with envy, too! This is the most interesting cruise to me!! I can't wait for reports!

Bert and I will be with you in sprits, so to speak! What a fantastic group.

We'll need spritzes, Mitch, considering how warm and dry it will be over there!

Send fresh photos so you and Bert literally have seats at our table(s)!

Cheers, Anne

Anne, do you want separate head shots of each of them so Karen can work her magic again like when Suzanne was suddenly in a red parka and among penguins on ICE?

Bert and Mitch, we will MISS you! ROAR will be here before you know it!

I'm looking forward to all the seamail from this cruise. Wish I was on it but since I'm not, I'll live vicariously through all of you.

It is quite clear that Karen will have to do her usual magic and come up with virtual abayas for all of the LCT ladies who will not be with us on CAMEL.

The gents may wear appropriate Lawrence of Arabia garb, even though it does not appear to be required by the religious police in Saudia Arabia. I certainly intend to find an excuse to wear such an outfit - at a certain age, a loose-fitting full-length robe (with the added attraction of an elaborate head-covering that conceals any receding hairline) has a very distinct attraction, no??

Yikes, it may make sense to just move to Saudia Arabia (except for the gay thing, oops!!).

We certainly hope to send everyone SeaMail from CAMEL, assuming that we're not all arrested by the religious police because Suzette decides to do a pole dance at the Grand Mosque in Jeddah. "Suzette, dearest, that is not a dancing pole - it is a sacred water cleansing fountain at the third most holy site in all of Islam!!"

Hmm, on second thought, I think we'll take a separate tour from our sweet dancer from Orinda.

Thinking good thoughts about abayas and baklava,

Cheers, Fred

When I said we were looking forward to meeting some of the Camelites who post on LCT, guess who was near the top of the list? (Hint: Read the preceding post.)

:3smile: :ch: :woh:
Doc's on the way!!

I did not order an abaya for Suzette as she has yet to make it off the ship for an excursion, so we are probably safe from her being stoned (not in the drug related sense of the word) in the main square for some sort of indiscretion.
She is, however, quite looking forward to the desert safari in Dubai!

We must be 'On Guard' in Jeddah for poles of any size, shape or color!! :eek:

Whoopee--our docs just arrived. No poles around, but I'm dancin!!!!

Please do allow Suzette to come to the CAMEL RACES she will be very very welcome.

We're busy sewing her 'silks'....Giddy-yup!

There was a silver box waiting for us courtesy of the FedEx man ...

WOO HOO!

cheers, Anne

Got mine, too!

Roger that! Ours are here, too! :banana:

Our silver box arrived today, yea!!

Carolyn

I am green with envy.......loved the Suzette photo Suzie....... ah memories.
