MINT MESSAGES

Are Marty/Erika and Joanna/Tony on MINT now? I've gotten confused because of the disappearing threads incident on that other board.

Joanna and Tony are not booked yet though they hope to in the near future. My understanding is if they book the McWilliams will also book. I don't know about Marty and Erika.

I promised Kimmi I would not bust her chops (on the CC board) about the Kimmis not booking (yet) on MINT.

But that was on the CC board .... How do I add a wink here?

Bill

;) Instant Gremlins in the Quick Reply area on the left.

Marty and Erika are working hard to get onto this cruise. Gretchen and George are holdouts, but, I believe, after they return from a disastrous cruise next month on the QM2, they will recant and book this cruise. Have no fear, I'm in there plugging away - after all, I don't want to miss the full contact trivia.
Keep after Kimmi and Mr. Kimmi - they need to be there, as well as that precious Karen and her Mark.

I regret not being able to visit Sin City with you guys in April, but I hope you understand.

Marty (aka Guiseppe Gianneschi)

Tom and I will be on MINT (yikes, I feel like I'm signing up on every roll call) :eek:

Oh, and I am a Mint too!

Me three!

Moi aussi!

Ken and I will be there of course.

I just read on the CC board that MarnaLou and George will be with us too!! This will be a great time.....still hoping to see others sign up like Marty & Erika, Gretchen & George, Joanna & Tony, Jack & Kathy McWilliams, the Kimmis, and so many more of you!...don't be shy!

me, me, me, me....I'll be there!

I seem to be having some trouble posting here -- I hope this one ends up on the board.

Yes, we're coming!! I am so excited to have another cruise to look forward to so soon off the PG.

Are there any divers out there? George will be looking for scuba opportunities and buddies.

MarnaLou

Glad to have you on these boards and on the cruise. You will have a wonderful time with this group of people.

Who is missing?

You know who is missing?????!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE!!!! How dare you all go without us!!!!!!!
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Oh, my God....I'm sitting down for this one...PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE COMING! I can't handle this suspense! Like I said, bring the parents, the in-laws, the other cops, Heidi & Paco, the incarcerated (well maybe not them)...just come!
P.S. Heidi and Paco are the Kimmi's 2 precious dogs, not the incarcerated! :D

Marcie, I'm only harassing you guys. You know we are doing the BAT in August, which to very close to the MINT. So, all kidding aside, I think it's out of the question unless we win the lotto this Sat. night. Then it's all MINT cruises on us ;) ;) Forget the parents/inlaws for now. My parents 40th is next year (i think) so I'm trying to talk them into a RSSC cruise. As for my 2 PITA's.....wouldn't it be nice if we could take them and they could hang out with your critters??! There should be a cruiseline with pet accomodations! It would make our life so much easier.
Oh, in the Star Wars series, there are various types of "critters" so you might like it. Some are sort of gross looking, though.

Looks like a good group (from all that i have read anyway given that I have not met any of you), but I think with a little luck and possible use of tough persuasion, we can add a few more!!!

Anthony

Here's a sight Ray (OHHusker) sent me for excursions in Puerto Vallarta:

http://www.hypermex.com/htmlads2/canopy.htm

It looks like they have a lot of activities available. Take a look. The other site is the Canopy Site:

http://www.vallarta-adventures.com/english/canopy_tour.html

Looks like fun!!!!!!!

Editing to add....check out the photo tour!

I am so proud and excited that I have found a way to hot-link a web-site, I couldn't resist posting this to you MINT'ers.

http://www.primetimeshuttle.com/cruise_ship_service.htm

Even if it is of no value to you, it doesn't take away my joy ;)

My next heralded adventure will be to find a way to post a picture. Wish me luck!

Cheers! Ray

Ray-

When you find your picture on the web, right click on it and go to "properties"....then go to the "address url" section and use the copy feature from your mouse for the location of the picture. Then come back here, start a post or add to one and use the followinf [img] paste in your address here [/img]

You are good to go!

Thanks, Todd, I understand perfectly what needs to be done and will, therefore, instruct Penny to take it from here.

<img border="0" alt="[vhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_vhappy.gif" /> Nah really, Todd, I'll give it a go. Thanks!

Cheers! Ray

Somebody help me convince Olivia to do the Canopy Adventure in Puerto Vallarta!

Ken will go with you. Olivia and I may do something a little more sedate!!!

Todd

I am not on this cruise, but if I were I would be swinging from a branch or dangling over a river with you. And I am afraid of heights. I don't know Olivia, but appeal to her adventuresome spirit. Tell her that even with my fear of heights, one of my must does before I die is to climb the Sydney bridge. But I will never get in a hot air balloon & gondolas & chair lifts aren't my favorite things in the world, but I will ride them.
Ngaire, I think you should reconsider doing this. Everyone says it is wonderful - of course, this is said after it is over.

Betty

Cluck Cluck Cluck - that is the chicken in me and it is alive and well!!!!

CLimb the Sydney Bridge, no way in a million years for me. You are a dare devil Betty, or one of those wonderful people that can push your limits.

I leave Ken to do all the "wild" things. He does enough for the both of us.

However, I will go in any gondola, LOVE hot air balloons and chair lifts. It is when I am in control I worry. Arlene hit one tree I am sure I would hit them all!!!

Olivia may decide to take the plunge but was not to enthralled with that idea on the Chilean Fjords. I think Todd will have quite a few joining him from the DDD crowd.

Funny how we all are different.

Betty, I have done a hot air balloon over Burgundy and loved it. I spent many winters in chair lifts and gondolas, and even T bars right at the edge of the Alps. I have parasailed in Moorea, and learned to do roller coasters with my eyes closed for the sake of my children. That tubing ride in Dominica was a stitch. But I have this morbid fear of crashing into the pole at the bottom of the canopy run because I was unable at the blurring speed of the picture above, to "apply my brakes!". And I have no desire ever to go to a survival camp. I like those spas where you get 3 body or face treatments and a massage every day, and only exercise maybe 2 hours in the a.m. Get my drift? I am really a whuss.

Oh please Olivia....remember......many have gone before us on this......successfully!

A regular photo from the Canopy adventure!

Did anyone notice my new Viva Lost Wages theme????

YES I love your Vegas theme Todd. Very very creative. I meant to comment on it then got sidetracked. So looking forward to this LOST WAGES CRUISING AROUND THE VEGAS HOTELS and you know you started the WHOLE thing. It was your idea and look how many are coming. I think we will have a blast.

I think Sheri, Ngaire, Olivia and I are on the "Pollo" Margaritaville tour of PV. Nancy come join us if Bill wants to canopy...

HECK!!!! Everyone join us!!!! ...In fact please do, Margaritas are cheaper by the pitcher than the glass.... <img border="0" alt="[Drinking]" title="" src="graemlins/062802drink_prv.gif" /> AND the stories get better!!

Works for me Suzanne. Count me in on that. I can be the "designated" make sure we all get back to the ship person.

Just let us know where to find you after the Canopy Adventure!

Another tame picture from the canopy adventure:

Gesh, Perhaps it is good that I have not counted myself in on this cruise. I mean, how about going to a tractor pull; a mud fight, or perhaps a football game. Did you ever think of that? (Wink)... Cripes, even the Graemlins didn't like this post....I couldn't get them to work.

Cheers! Ray

The mind is an amazing thing: It can be totally empty and still not cave in!
(Unknown)

I think Bill should canopy to keep Todd company while I am deciding to do so. Still only a remote possibility, unless Ngaire, Suzanne, Nancy and others will join in. I am a group participant sort of person.

Plan on me doing the canopy! It looks like more fun than is legal in many places. :)

george

You know, guys ... we're going to be in Sacramento the week before MINT (November 6, 04) for a wedding - I'm trying to convince by wife that it would be easy for us to drive down to LA to meet up with you guys and go on MINT. She's not having any of that now ("we can't afford to go on 2 RSSC cruises in a year!") ... but I sense a slight weakening of her resolve. Wish me luck. :)
