Andrea and Lauri 407

Kathy and Al 412 :banana:

Andi and Doug...still deciding on possible room options

Betty & Beth are in 304.

I was holding back as I was somewhat uncertain. That uncertainty is going away so put me on the roll call. I have my reservation. It might take a while to get it done but am going to try and find a way to have my grandson Brayden take this trip with me. Brayden did ARCTIC this August. School may be an issue but am going to work on that.

Lucky grandson!

Hoping it works for you and Brayden, Ralph. I know how much you and your fellow travelers enjoyed him!!!

Fingers crossed it all works out for you Ralph!

Can't wait to meet Brayden and see you again! We're in 422

On another thread Ngaire said there were 26 people booked....so where are the other 12 hiding?

Come out, come out wherever you are!

Brayden and I are in 409. I have got the ok to do this from Brayden's mom and dad and believe it or not Brayden. Can you believe he wants to go with me again after last year. I still need to check with his school and make sure we are not doing something that will result in his being way behind at school. Next year he will be in the 8th grade. I will talk to the school after I return from FUN 2.

Once cleared that I plan to see if a wait list will get is to the slightly larger cabin similar to the one we had on ARCTIC.

One aspect of this that excited Brayden was seeing the same expedition staff that we met on ARCTIC. There were a couple that Brayden really liked and talked to several times.

Brayden likes to play POOCH but also likes hearts. Are there any hearts player out there on this cruise.

Ralph, there will be plenty of Hearts players!

Anyone for some bridge?

We are booked in 318.

One year from today we'll be boarding the ship!!

I bought some waterproof pants yesterday, on sale for only $25! Woo-hoo...getting ready :banana:

Lauri, I get the feeling you are looking forward to this trip!!

Hope you'all have a great time.

Ralph, enjoyed time with you on FUN2 and look forward to seeing you on CANADA. Dinner again for sure. What a special time with your grandson you will have.

I want to go! I want to go! Darn single supp

Whatever gives you that idea Andrea?

The dancing banana!! I need to see if my waterproof pants still fit...

Zodiac prices have increased 25% across the board (50% instead of a 60% discount off of brochure rates). Does this mean that those of us booked have made 15% return? :D If they allow name changes, we could pocket the difference. ;)

Need to start thinking about air, just a little over a month until we can book.

Ok, maybe I'm a "little" excited. ;)

I'm already plotting buying long underwear, socks and gloves when they all go on sale in a few months. Maybe I'll use my AA shopping to get miles too! Now that I get miles for shopping at Chicos I can justify my purchases. :eek:

But did you buy your possum hat, scarf and gloves? Us possum queens are very prepared!

I sadly am not part of the possum queen posse. :(

I'm a Peruvian Alpaca Princess however.

Obviously you are part of a different lineage, but we will still welcome you among us.

Thank you, that is very kind.

Andi, Lauri - you two are cracking me up!!

It is my pleasure to welcome fur royalty. Kim, we wish you were among us. It is a special honor of the DINGO traveler.

Let's see, are we talking possum or alpaca royalty here? OMG I have those fur coats from the 70's (pre-PETA) that still work, but I dare not bring out for fear of paint spraying by PETA people! This is where we should discuss what "fur" is acceptable" to be worn? ;)

Possum are pests. You can wear it with pride in New Zealand.

I missed out on the initiation into the possum posse at Possum World. I suppose I'll have to walk one step behind Andi and Beth who achieved possum queen status. I am fine with being a Peruvian Alpaca Princess....no, really.

You were obviously too busy on bungy swings than to shop properly. Shame...Opposum World was a highlight.

I'm glad you know your place. :nw:

Just as long as I don't get put on penguin poo boot detail, it's all good.

Even penguin poo detail will be excellent. Everyone needs diverse skills

.....

add Madam Crystal to the Possum Queen list.

.....picture removed from flicker.....

OMG! LOL. You are so funny, Beth. I'm sure you will look even betta

Hmmm, there is a lake nearby called Possum Kingdom (truly), perhaps if I go there I can be baptized into the possum lineage. The possibilities are mind boggling.
Queen Crystal does look lovely. Too bad she won't be accompanying us but I'm so looking forward to Flat Crystal joining us in her unfortunate absence.

Sorry to confuse you, girls. I didn't mean for you to think that the picture was Crystal. Just wanted the 3 Possum Queens to know that we weren't the first ones. :( My apologies to Madam Crystal!!!

Can I have a "Flat Crystal" to take with me on my travels. I can then have political discussions with her, with no fear of retribution!

I heard about flat Crystal on FUN from Doug - looking forward to lots of photo ops!!
