richstan Posted May 1, 2009 #401 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Rich, After you leave I think I might be the only guy left on this thread. Reading about what shoes to wear...lol...What a great thread though. Copies of menus would be great. Trying to decide which night to go to LaBistro I'm not too worried about the flu, nothing we can do about it so why worry. Dude, enjoy the ladies! I am bringing---dress shoes, tennis shoes and flip flops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why Knot Me Posted May 1, 2009 #402 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Dude, enjoy the ladies! I am bringing---dress shoes, tennis shoes and flip flops! Okay Rich... but what have you decided for your hair dryer? I'm thinking about leaving mine home and not worrying about voltage and all that stuff.

daring Posted May 2, 2009 Author #406 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Didn't you say you made a list? Just take a deep breath and check it off and let that be it. You know what, as long as you have the proper paperwork for everything and a little money, if you don't have it, you don't need it, or you can buy it. You're going on a cruise!

odblnt Posted May 2, 2009 #415 Share Posted May 2, 2009 We've got 17months until our b2b on the Gem in the Med (& TA). Can hardly wait. I just saw some good pictures of Venice over on this tread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=909893&page=190 The pictures were taken by someone on the Royal Princess world cruise and they look wonderful. We're looking forward to taking some of our own pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi1 Posted May 2, 2009 #416 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I have some DaVinci Chianti. Would you like to try some? Yes, please! :D Thank you, daring! I am seriously torn tonight: on one hand, I wish this week would slow down for Rich, and last as long as he would want it to. On the other hand, I REALLY want it to fly by!

daring Posted May 2, 2009 Author #419 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I keep trying to go to bed earlier so I can better adjust to European time, so I will be trying to turn in soon. Rich, I may see you tomorrow but if I don't, I hope you have an absolutely wonderful time. Thank-you for helping me fill in the time while I try to patiently await the time for my cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Knot Me Posted May 2, 2009 #423 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Rich, Just checking in again... Are the plants watered, the refrigerator cleaned out, the mail stopped? Got the camera? Seriously, we'll be thinking about you this week. I for one will be checking the webcam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms belp Posted May 2, 2009 #424 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Bon Voyage, Rich! Sorry I missed the party last night.;) We are sailing on the Gem for the first time next April; I am already excited but it seems so far away. We are doing Venice & the Greek Islands on the April 24th 2010 cruise. I have already started researching hotels in Venice. The task seems daunting. I have checked the Ports of Call board, so many opinions, so many options!:eek: I hope the time passes quickly for those sailing soon.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
