I thought the same thing when it came to the FE lists. I know Claire volunteered to bring some extras, bless her. My solution would have been to hand a spare USB with the files to Guest Services and send people there to request a copy. (Reliving my teaching days: I used to send my middle schoolers to the office when they lost their homework/assignment/whatever, where they would have to apologize to the secretary for interrupting her and respectfully request a new copy of the work. The secretary was a very tall, imposing woman who didn't suffer fools lightly. They quickly learned to not lose their work.)
I could do flash drives if people do bring their computers as they are very cheap.
I could do that. I've got a list set up in Excel, with all the DISnames I could glean from various places, and cabin numbers where available. It's pretty current, as the FE participants have been keeping me posted on room changes.
The only thing about giving everyone editing privileges is they have to be careful not to accidentally edit or delete any one else's info. I'll keep up with this on my Excel list, too, just in case.
Noel, would you be able to download that for the Navigator, and would that be helpful to you? I think it would be a bad idea to try to keep two different lists (yours and a google list) - too confusing for everyone. If you'd like to see what I've got - maybe to cross-check what you have - let me know and I'll email it to you.
I would love it you would send it to me at nbirkner@yahoo.com and I will cross check and return a copy to you with a different file name.
We're not even
telling my MIL that we're going on the cruise. Can't recall if I've ever told the sad tale of MIL and BIL here. I know I've told it on Passporter. Short version: Both of them are nuts, and not in a good way. BIL offered to take in MIL when FIL passed away, b/c she couldn't do anything for herself. Mind you, she's not infirm or incapacitated in any way; FIL just took care of everything so she never learned how to do
anything. Dennis and I thought she should move in to a retirement community, where she'd meet some people and learn to take care of things herself. Well, she doesn't
want to meet people or take care things herself! I can't even begin to understand this, as my parents - especially my mom - are the exact opposite.
Anyway, now BIL complains b/c he's "stuck" with MIL and can't do anything. News flash - he never did anything before she moved in with him, either. Martyr.
If they knew we were taking this cruise, all we'd here is, "you can go on a two week cruise but you can't come to see us." Hmm, let's see, two week cruise filled with fun, food, adventure, interesting people, FABs and RABs... or driving 14 hours to sit and watch reruns of "Two and a Half Men" and eat chicken soup without any chicken. (I'm not kidding. She takes the chicken out of the soup after making it.) Gee, it's so hard to decide.
My folks are letting us crash at their house the night before we leave, letting us leave the car there (where my dad and brother will likely give it a tune-up), taking us to the airport, picking us up at PC afterwards, and wishing us a wonderful time. Anyone still wondering why we would rather visit my family?
We're going to tell his other brother (the only mildly annoying one) about the trip - after we swear him to secrecy, and right before we board the plane to Barca.
