Made my reservations for the cruise today. How many others from the forums are going?

Bert

Well, Bert, you will have to be sure to get lots of pictures - you have a new digital camera, don't you? I wish I was close enough to join that trip. It sounds like quite a nice weekend at a very reasonable cost. You all have fun and be sure to file the required trip report!

The Brady's are at about 75% on getting to go to what sounds like a fabulous weekend.. I just need a couple of vacation day's approved, airplane reservations (points) and we are there!!

It just dropped to 30%, someone else who's vacation days effect my vacation days, already has that Friday before off... I will need to see if he can move his vacation forward a day so he will be back on that Friday... It will be 100% that we will be there, if that happens..

This looks like a neat trip. I trying to figure how to get there by 10am without staying over the previous night. A 7am ferry off LI really makes it a close call.

Well we are back in the hunt... I worked out the work conflict and I just made our reservations with ALF for the weekend... We just have to book our round trip flights and it will be 100%!! See you there in June...

Bob & Paul,

Looking forward to seeing you guys on the cruise. I'm sure we should all enjoy it. I live real close (About 25 miles) so I won't have a problem.

Bert

We are looking forward to seeing all of you on this cruise and at the dinner and brunch.

Ron - I couldn't have said it better! Peg & I are leaving first thing in the morning for Myrtle Beach and then to the Outer Banks to visit Cape Hatteras, Bodie Island and Currituck Beach Lights! I'm also looking forward to seeing everyone at the ALF Event!

This will be a wonderful way to end our vacation back east. We did some rescheduling, made our reservations this morning and are looking forward to seeing forum members on the cruise.
