I am the lucky granpa with wonderfull grandkids. The ARCTIC trip is as much for me as for Brayden. He will be 12 1/2 when we go next year. A good age I think. He should remember the adventure with his Granpa when his Granpa is old and grey, as if I am not already.
Charlotte does wrap me around her little finger. Guess it is because I did not have a daughter and she is the first granddaughter. She is only 7 so we have lots of years ahead of us.
Looking forward to seeing all at the HO DOWN in November. It will be a blast.

Ralph, you are lucky to be young and fit enough to have a grandson at the perfect age for a trip like this. It will be an adventure he will never forget, I'm sure, even if it is partly for you!

Ralph, I think it's fantastic that you're taking your grandson on a cruising adventure. I came across a blog you might like. It's the photographer on Prince Albert II. Here's the link: http://sichonice.blogspot.com/ Be sure to look under blog archives on lower left-hand side. Fantastic photos of Norway and Antarctica. I'm lusting after a SS Prince Albert II cruise.

Terrific that you joined the cruise. There are others but have not asked to be added to roll call. May not be LCTers.
I have not booked the hotel yet but plan to use the Radisson SAS. It has a downtown central location. I noted the location when we did a tour of Tromso during the Norway cruise this past July.
Brayden and I arrive at 6:10pm on 7/31/10 and plan to stay the night of 7/31/ and 8/1 so I can show him the sights of Tromso. We are planning on the Polar Museum and the cable car for sure.

Ralph - we're aboard. We get to Tromso the night before embarkation. Must buy transatlantic tickets sometime soon.
Looking forward to meeting your grandson and enjoying the adventure. Tromso is a great city to explore.
cheers, Anne and Gary

Diane .. major seal mail it is! Ralph, nothing we'd like better than a drink at the far away bar.
FYI - Continental posted their summer Biz Class discounts a couple days ago. We've got our transatlantic locked in for ARCTIC, thanks to this development. I think this has been posted at least 3 months earlier than last year.
US Air also has a nonstop from Phila to Oslo.
Cheers, Anne

The bears are actually from a picture that Ken took when we went last year. They were two males sparring but we changed it to a smile!
