We booked this one back in January and refer to it as "T-Devil (aka DINGO)", since we refuse to accept defeat in the cruise acronym votes.

We'll be across the hall from Betty in 725.

Fred & Pat - 725

Go T-Devils!!!

OMG, I didn't realize this was the first roll call for this cruise! Wonder why it took so long?

What a great group so far! Oh Fred, you are just like Marc, who wanted Exodus or something instead of TUT. Didn't your mother ever teach you how to be a good loser and just move ON, when it wasn't that important?? :rolleyes: :D

This was one of my favorite cruise itineraries ever! Not even a BK group aboard when I went. Went pre-cruise in N.Z. and met Marcie and Tom onboard when it was a WC segment, and it went on from there!

Beth and Crystal, have a great time as you always do! I've known for awhile that Betty is excited about the cruise. Looks like Donna and Alan get another LONG one in 2010! Waiting for others to post to fill in this roster. So far, they are all "Sea Mail" friendly, and I'm sure there are others aboard from lct.

Please add us to the list cabin 525. Can't wait to met all the dingbats on T-Devil(aka DINGO). Really looking forward to finely getting downunder. Looks like a great group, fun, fun, fun. Welcome Beth and Crystal.

Carolyn, I remembered you and Don had booked this many months ago but never could find that post. Looking forward to seeing you again (although it's 18 months away) since I had to cancel GAME/SAMBA. This is going to be a fun group. Don't think I've sailed with you since TAP. Instead of a Derby party we will all get to share Thanksgiving dinner on this trip. Gobble Gobble!

This is going to be a fun crew. Susan, we haven't even met and now we're sailing on two cruises together.

Will be fun to cruise with you again, Carolyn and Don.

Doug, I may leave Tucson every time you come but you cannot escape me on cruises :)

Susan - so anxious to meet you after hearing such nice things about you. This is going to be a great cruise even if it is almost 18 months away.

Andi & Doug - great to be sailing with you again. It's been too long.

Crystal - are you planning on blogging this adventure? If so, do Beth & I get editorial privileges? It's possible we might need them!!

John and Tonya - this is great. With Andi and Doug & Carolyn and Don already on board, I see shades of a TAP reunion in the making! Is there a Kentucky event we could celebrate in November? We have over a year to think of one! Will either one of you do the Harbor Bridge climb with me the day before we sail? Haven't found any takers - yet.

It will be great to see you and Tonya again, John. Will add you to the roll call.

Betty, You may twist my arm to join you on the bridge tour. I don't think I'm afraid of heights!!

Perfect Beth. If we call it a Bridge Tour instead of a Bridge Climb, we might might get a lot more interest. ;)
Glad you are on board. Go to their web site and check out the "lovely outfits" we will get to wear.

Definetly go on the bridge climb as it is not hard & not scary. They shame you by showing pictures of sweet little old ladies cllimbing the bridge. We did the bridge with Ken in '06. Safety lecture/demonstration first while you suit up. You are all hooked together with the guide leading you & are also hooked to the safety wire on the bridge. The views are grand & it is an exhilarating expereience.

Hey, Frank and Carla, it'll be fun sailing with you again. We've got a great group shaping up.

Betty, I forgot to tell you, Alan says if we're in Sydney the day before, he'll climb the bridge with you. We'd like to come in early and head up to the Great Barrier Reef. No plans yet, just dreams.

Naw! I want to be harnessed to a long line of other people.

Andi, he's snapped photos of those tootsies on all of our trips. South Africa, Arizona mountains, Rio, you name it. I could do just a scrapbook of my barefoot traveling feet. A repeat Sydney pictures is definitely on the list. We'd like to improve the color.

Those of you who do the bridge climb (I mean Tour) should be aware that photos are taken of you in those get ups and at least my husband and I looked very much like red-faced, overweight auto mechanics! It was a not to be missed experience tho. Have a blast!

With respect to the dress code for our cruise next year, we may luck out and have the code changed to full-time EC, depending upon how seriously Frank del Rio takes the polls on LCT and CC, on both of which more than 2/3 of votes at this time are for EC.

We'll keep our fingers crossed that we won't have to drag suits to Sydney.

Cheers, Fred

PS - T-Devils rule!!
