And people say you get nickle and dimed on cruises....lol. Oy!!! This is what flying is coming to, but I bet you got a good price on the flights.lol sue The price was decent....but with the add ons...somewhat less of a bargain, but it's direct and that's what I like the most! Me and my stuff will all get there together! Direct is very good and also hard to find!! Flying down to the Solstice we have a 2 hour layover in Atlanta, but at least going home we have a nonstop flight. Are you flying down on Sat. oor Sun.? sue I'm flying down saturday morning so I have a little hang time in Fort Lauderdale to see friends and such! We are arriving late afternoon saturday. There will be a group gathering Sat. night if you want to join us, unless you want to hang with friends that aren't sailing with us. sue Where is the group gathering? Although I am likely to go my own way that night is my guess, we're going to hit the town up! Jeff |

I don't remember the name of the place, but if you email me I will look it up. It isn't a formal gathering, more like George will be there and we can all show up when or if we want to. sue |

I don't remember the name of the place, but if you email me I will look it up. It isn't a formal gathering, more like George will be there and we can all show up when or if we want to. Our plans are to go to the Bahia Cabana Resort http://www.bahiacabanaresort.com/index.html and spend the night at the dockside restaurant/bar. We'll have dinner there and stay and schmooze with whomever shows up. Their menu is at http://www.bahiacabanaresort.com/menu.html and the food there is pretty good. I know a lot of the group aren't getting to FLL until late on Saturday but I hope most will be able to stop at the Bahia Cabana for dinner or a drink. We'll probably be there at least until 11 or so.... maybe later. There is history there... we all met there the night before the very first GGC back in December, 1998. For many of us, it was the first time we ever met in person. -- George Leppla http://www.CruiseMaster.com Cruise Specials Weblog http://cruisemaster.typepad.com/my_weblog/ |

We are staying at the Embassy Suites on SE 17th Street and assume it is a short cab ride away? Our flight arrives about 5:30 sat. night and if it is on time we will join the party. sue |

Mrs. Nonny, our friend and I then transfer by shuttle to the Embassy Suites FLL for the night. Our son and his family arrive that afternoon to join us. If you're going to have a few minutes, we'd be happy to see you and buy you a free drink at Happy Hour. I'm very easy to spot in a crowd. Various folk describe me as God-like, since I frequently hear them say, "Oh my God," when they see me. Please look us up if you have a free moment. (seriously) I'll be with Mrs. Nonny, who has an electric scooter. Our son and his wife and two girls will most likely be around as well. We've not made a decision about the Bahia Cabana, but might go there as well, if it's after the free booze at Embassy Suites. grin Nonny -- Nonny Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which you can die. |

Kevin says the happy hour is usually from 5 to 7PM, so if our flight is on time we should be able to make happy hour. We will have no trouble spotting you, since we cruised with you, Mrs. Nonny, son and daughter-in-law on the Conquest, one of the Sleazy cruises. In fact we went to the beach and Margarittaville in Jamaica with your son, his wife and a few others. At that point your son and his wife were expecting your first grandchild. Tell your son and his wife we are looking forward to seeing them again and this time with their two girls. sue |

If not, we will see you on the ship. This should be a fun cruise. Becca |

If all goes well we plan on meeting you and whoever else shows up, but only time will tell. This is going to be a very interesting cruise, a great group of friends and a very unique ship to explore. sue |

Me and my stuff will all get there together! Jeff Direct or non-stop? Direct means the plane lands and you stay on. But your bags can still get off. I've heard of this happening in the past. Oh yeah, I've also heard of Delta not putting all the bags on the flight. If one flight is full and a following one is light, they might "balance" the two to improve fuel consumption (the plane is going to burn a certain amount of fuel at a minimum, so as long as you don't go too far above this rating ...) -- - dillon I am not invalid When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams come true.
