A 4WT Cruise.....

[DianaB]

You can count me in to go. I think that if spouses want to go that that would be alright! I'd like to make some friendships as a couple with you guys. After all, I talk about Glen so much you already know him!! LOL

I think that we have enough interest to go that we should look around and figure out what we want to do. We need to figure out a month and January, February, or March would work great for us. With Glen being a farmer we couldn't go too much later than that. You know, we have to get our crops in!!

The prices that were on the links look good to me. It looks like a single person could go for less than $800 (not including arifare) and a suite would cost a little over $1,600. Of couse we want to save extra in case prices change.

Oooooo!!! I'm excited!!!

I'm excited for y'all. If you sail out of Galveston, I can chauffeur you from airports and get to spend time with you that way!

Sandy, that would be GREAT! I'd rather you be along, but I understand why you can't.

Can you believe it! Here we are talking about a 4WT cruise, and Gary's sisters called last night and asked us to go on a cruise the first week of November. I can't go (don't want to either) because I have a conference I have to attend in St. Louis the middle of October and another conference in Atlanta the middle of November. I think Gary is going to go with them, even though, like me, he really doesn't care for cruises, but he wants to go with his sisters. Kinda like me going with my 4WT "sisters".

I think we should all start saving and communicate with each other about preferences on itineraries. Find out which husbands would want to be included and see how it works out. We can all play around on the cruise websites and communicate what we find as we continue to plan. We have plenty of time to refine things.

This is exciting. I was so upset about missing the meetup in Chicago. That one came on so suddenly with Melissa's wedding so close. This one we can plan around once we pinpoint the time. I like the idea of traveling in January or February because it's a little less expensive, many of you will have a nice break from the cold weather, and it's not such a busy time.

Sounds great to me!!!

Just a note for thinking about my work schedule. Although I can get off work at almost anytime - it would be better for me if we scheduled around a weekend, e.g., Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon I will not be in school the first two weeks in January, so the timing wouldn't matter then - but after the middle of Jan., then I will be in classes and again.

Let's all keep looking around, there are some great bargains!

OK, I'm getting over my initial reminder of my fears and am thinking about joining you! If I'm not penniless after Roxann's wedding and if I can drive to the ship and if I don't have to wear a bikini (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA) and if ..... I'm trying because I know y'all can't have too much fun without me!

That sounds really good, Marilyn!! We have plenty of time to search out what we want to do and get a good deal!

Sandy, it would be so wonderful if you could go with us!!! I hope that by setting the date in a couple of years that it will give everyone enough time to save up for it!!

And.....believe me, there WON'T be any bikinis on this body!! Did I mention that I'm so excited about this?

Most of the 3 or 4 day cruises that I've looked at are around a weekend, but we will have to definitely keep this in mind!! I get so little vacation, around a weekend is the best for me, too.

Sure hope things work out so you can join us!!! Wouldn't it be great to all get to go and know each other. This site would be even better!!!
