Farewell all you MOOSIES! Order a chocolate martini for me :bv:

Suzie - I'll dedicate my 1st and last to you! ;)

Thank you! We're all packed and ready for the 3:30 a.m. wake-up! We'll send Sea Mail!

Kim and Alice, I think you are our first departures, have a safe trip and we will see you in a few days.

Suzie, thanks for the send off!

Have a great time, everyone! Looking forward to your seamail!

Kim & Alice, Enjoy your time in Whistler and see you Wednesday on the Mariner in Vancouver.

I think I am getting a laptop tomorrow (fingers crossed) - so if I can get the software I need downloaded by Monday, Kristin, you could be hearing from me on an hourly basis. I have to practice on somebody! :3smile:
Hope all the Whistler people have a fabulous time. See you all on Wednesday.

Beth, Crystal and Betty together? Watch out! Wish I were with you

Oh Diane - I wish you were coming also. But you'll have fun with Noah in the Spring.
Now - picture the 3 of us loose in OZ for at least a week next year. Should make for some great photos. Ngaire & Ken, we promise there won't be mug shots.

Diane, Since we can't get a cruise planned together, we will just have to get a land trip together so the four of us can meet up somewhere. Let's start planning soon.

Yes, Betty, NO mug shots for OZ!!!

to the MOOSIES!! Can't wait for THIS Seamail!!

Beth, what do you mean - no mug shots from OZ?? How about no mug shots from AK?? (Just teasing!)

Have a fabulous time, al!!

On the plane. We had a flight attendant call-in sick, so we're 1/2 hr late boarding. We have one hour connection in Detroit. Keeping fingers crossed. Got upgraded, so at least we'll be off the plane quickly.

Congrats on the new laptop, Betty!

Kathy, NO mug shots from any cruise!!

Have a great time, all of you!

Calling all Moosies....have a wonderful time!!! :banana:

Made it to the 2nd flight! No problem. There are several pax on board with sapphire princess and zuiderdam and Veendam luggage tags on their carryons. The Maasdam was in Boston harbor this morning. We're really looking forward to relaxing and biking and hiking around Whister, but I can't wait to be on the ship with all the Moosies!!!!!!!!!

I am glad you made your flight, have a great precruise!

Suzie: Thanks for the blanket - may need it. Will a Brandy Alexander or Golden Dream be OK instead your favourite drink?

We are at Banff now, having flown in yesterday from New York without any dramas. The weather yesterday was absolutely fantastic and today looks pretty good at the moment, although it's only 7.30am.

Kathy: Thanks for your message - sorry I haven't been in touch - my computer time has been very limited. We'll make up for it on Wednesday!

We are driving to Lake Louise and beyond today and tomorrow we join the Rocky Mountaineer. I just hope I don't 'nod' off as I've had a few early mornings lately and lots of time changes.

So far Whistler is 'on' although we have been there before so if I'm really bushed, we may give it a miss. Being old isn't much fun.

Don't know where I wrote my last post but figured this would reach all who want to read about my boring life, although I'm not complaining as it's really getting exciting now.

Lee

LOOK OUT !!! The MOOSIES are on the loose!


Bon Voyage!!! Have a wonderful time!

Lee, Glad you and Michael made it safely to Canada. Enjoy your train trip.

Betty, Love the moose.

Have a wonderful time, Moosies! Send lots of Sea Mail.

some of us are browsing LCT rather than packing like we should be doing.....

Looking forward to seeing my fellow Moosies soon! Thank you all for your good wishes.

Have a wonderful trip, all you fun Moosies! I will especially relish stalking you and reading seamail since it will remind me of our Alaska cruise in June. Enjoy every minute!

Love all the pre-cruise Moose tracks you guys are making. Lee, what a fun surprise from your son. I've always wanted to take that train ride.

I'm sure we're the last to leave, flying out early Wednesday morning in time to meet the ship. Our bags, however, are already at a shipping company in Vancouver waiting for us.

Can't wait to see all of you. I'm still not a 100% (but getting close) so might not be in "full party mode" for the first week or two.

Donna, Try to take it easy for the next couple of days and see you and Alan on the Mariner.

Donna - Beth is right. Rest until time to leave. I'll do runs to the coffee bar for whatever you need. Do you remember Linda and Ed Wright from LAMB? They are also flying in on Wednesday. I think they were on your van for SheepWorld. From Alabama.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Finally - it's almost here. My bedroom floor and doors tell me so! And I need to get out of town so I'll stop spending money.
And yes, I have joined the 21st century. There is a finally a laptop in our house. Hope to have it up and running by tonight!

Hope you all have super cruise and lots of fun - Donna take it easy as you don't want set back - and nice place to be if you need to chill and rest - just fight the temptation of partying till you feel 100% okay

Have a terrific time, ya'll moosies!

Bon Voyage to all. I know what a fantastic trip you're going to have.

BettyK, I love your galloping moose's (ok, have no idea what the plural is). With Betty's new laptop I know we're in for seamail. Yippee!!

Donna, take care of yourself and don't overdue it. Lee, sounds like you and Michael are off to a great start. Wish we could be with everyone!

Wishing you all a wonderful journy

The low clouds in the mointIns make for an interesting dawn. We're rested from the long travel day. The Fairmont room is very comfy. Probaby will continue to be rainy today, it won't stop us from heading to the alpine after some breakfast. Can't wait til we all meet on the Mariner.

Have a great cruise Moosies!! We will be watching for you on the webcams and would love lots of sea mail!!

Thanks everyone for your wonderful sendoff. We will be sure to send MOOSE Mail.

Kim, Glad to hear you and Alice are off to a wonderful start in BC, rain or shine.

Robert, we wil be waving at the cams. :hello1:

Randy and I leave home at 3AM tomorrow. Here we go!!!

Randy - let Beth drive!!!!!

Well, I'm packed and if the bathroom scale can be believed, well under the luggage weight limit. I guess fleece takes up space, but doesn't weigh much. I fly out at 9:45 tomorrow morning. Looking forward to seeing my fellow Moosies and Moose visitors (Rockies?).

Save travels Beth and Crystal! Actually got snowed on up in the alpine today! Saw 2 bears from the gondola (fortunately)!

Safe Travels Crystal, Beth, Betty and all !! Can't wait to hear all about your fun time.

I always love reading Sea Mail hope we hear from the Moose Herd often. Someone needs to say hello to Franck Galzy for me one of my favorite F&B Managers! I hope he will still be there and also be on for Dragon 10/17/09.

Ngaire - Is Franz the person who arranged all our wonderful food and juleps for the Derby Party several years ago?

Oh, Kim, what a great start to your trip! Snow at a distance would be great to see.

Randy and I are out the door in a few minutes. Will meet up with everyone in Vancouver......
