I am leaving next Friday for a weekend in Scottsdale before MUSH. I won't have computer access and I will be going nuts without all the MUSH talk that will go on before everyone else leaves!!

13 days and counting here!!

Lauri -

Karen there should be a law against you not having computer access - we need you!!! :eek:

Whoopeee!!!

Karen - you want to call me and I can read the posts to you? :lct:

Sue, I can access LCT on my phone but it's sloooow! Kathy, I just may take you up on that!

Only 10 days now!! Lets get an official clock in here!! :3smile:

YAY Karen - wonderful!

It is always this way when a cruise has been booked long long long ago - Tony shows no interest - too far in the future - tonight he is a chatterbox about MUSH - about time - the PV group will have drinks and dinner Sat night for our Mush send off - then off on Tuesday - 6:15 am flight - up at 3 am 8/29 longggg day

You are going to be a tired bunch for dinner that night, Joanna!

I plan to nap at PP before dinner - I am one of the lucky ones who can nap and feel great after 2 hr nap -

Karen, as your countdown clock gets to zero at 7:00AM on the 30th, does that mean you are going to join me at the dock to watch the ship come in? Are you planning on boarding then, too? :D

Joanna - us too, have to be at the airport at "zero dark hundred" YUK! I am not exactly the most cheerful morning person, so be darned glad you are not on the flight with us!! :p

But Karen's countdown clock is GREAT!!! Now I don't have to figure it out for myself - :D

Marc, you mean you are not joining some of us for the African Safari adventure at the IMAX at 11 a.m.?

Olivia, no way! I am not going to miss the chance to get an early steak sandwich. :D

Now that we have "been there, done that," no reason to catch the movie. :D

I'm still in all safari, all the time mode - steak sandwiches can wait!!

Yep, my flight is at o'dark hundred too. Darn East Coast! For some reason, I change planes in Dallas. I might call Princess Ngaire to say hi!

Whoa Andrea - can't believe you are flying from Boston, going southwest, so that you can then fly northwest -- thats some itinerary.

At least we go nonstop from Washington to Vancouver and that means we get to fly northwest all the way!!! Agree with you though, darn East Coast!!! Geez, its like we won't get any sleep for 24 hours!! Oh well, ssiigghh!!! Somebody has to do it right? I mean like if we don't go, there won't be anybody on the cruise! <img border="0" alt="[vhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_vhappy.gif" />

Marc, like Andrea, this is going to be my Africa "fix" to hold me over until ROAR 2. I will be onboard in plenty of time to have a burger on pool deck! Maybe the line of "early embarkers" will have eased by the time we get on!

We (Robin, bro Joe and me) leave at 5:45 on Sunday a.m. All up-graded and ready for a nice nap on the way to Seattle. Ferry to Victoria for a couple of days, then back to Vancouver to meet the gang one night pre-cruise!

Andrea, yes, that is a strange routing!

Marc, no way do I want to miss the 3D Safari! Your steak sammy will wait, come and join us!

WOW, two weeks to go for your MUSHers! Hard to believe time has gone so quickly. You guys are in for one fantastic time.

With MUSH so soon to arrive, TUSH can't be too far behind :D

Nothing like flying with American. When I first booked I was routed through Chicago, but was changed to Dallas a few months ago. Too bad I'm flying on miles rather than earning them!

It is almost here Andrea!!!!! I mean Princess!!!

Andrea,

What flight are you taking out of Dallas? You and Ngaire and I may be on the same plane! I get into Vancouver around 12:15 pm.

Airline routing for the most part stinks. The whole hub and spoke thing just is not good for passengers.

Neener, neerer....

Although Andrea has a creative route, she arrives the day before boarding to join in the cockatil party/conga line in the Pan Pacific Tuesday night!! :banana:

If you leave LAX there is only one NS flight to Vancouver at 7:30 am. I won't feel all that bad for those East Coast Arrivals. Our car service is picking us up at 3:30 AM so we'll be napping at the Pan Pacific too. And we are probably going to meet the ship when it comes in. We have friends on board who are debarking that morning.

Ugh, we are on that 7:30 am flight from LAX on Wednesday. It will be an early morning for us too. I should be able to stay awake until dessert is served but not much beyond that...

Dena

I think I am glad that I will be a honorary "West coaster" for this flight! Our flight from Phoenix doesn't depart til 10:15.

Karen, you wouldn't happen to be connecting in LAX would you? Wondering if anyone is on our Alaska Air non-stop to Vancouver??

Marcie, when is your flight? We fly out of LAX on Tuesday at 7:30 am.

Lauri, I'm on your flight the day before as the lovely Suzanne pointed out. I'll say hi to your seat for you! This princess needs a day to acclimated to time changes. <img border="0" alt="[hula]" title="" src="graemlins/hula.gif" />

It seems the reason I'm going through DFW is American discontinued direct flights to Vancouver from Chicago.

Less than a week now, can you believe it? Its coming up fast! :3smile:
