I'm glad you're at least seeing a resolution there. Sorry the original deal didn't pan out, but this sounds like this will at least take care of getting you out of the place and providing some extra liquidity.
Well the extra liquidity was in the original plan. Unfortunately this one is pretty lean, not sure if there will be any leeway in this one at all.
Disney does it right... always. I wouldn't expect anything less of them.
I didn't know what to expect here, but they totally delivered!
That's awesome!
The guests went above and beyond just like Disney!
Yup. Still can take a chunk out of you if you're stupid.
But they're pretty well fed... much more than they'd eat in the wild. So their interest in a critter that's about the same size as them is pretty low.
That's good to know. I doubt the ones off the shore in Long Beach were as well fed....
"Well, it tastes okay... and can kill you. Want some?"
pass
Yeah, I'm with you there!
Have not seen that. But did see a video from coast guard heli advising people to get out.... tons of sharks.
In LB? Or just on the West Coast evidently they are everywhere this year!
You didn't know?
Well I knew that the figure we had was the Nautilus, but not having seen the movie I didn't realize just how realistic it was and that it looks exactly like the one in the movie. I don't know why I would have doubted it,
Oh, really? Why?
Or did I miss something.
You and Liesa both....OK I tried to be vague and just say we are broke, but we don't actually have an extra $5600 laying around to spend on a cruise. In fact the $1000 we put down as a deposit will help out nicely on the credit card when it is refunded. I had hoped it would show up in time for this month's payment but it will have to be applied to next months since I already paid off the credit card since we were approaching our limit. I mentioned a few months ago that we were considering canceling this cruise and the Houston Band Conference trip due to money, but then word of this winfall of the investment came through. Then it fell through, without the nice chunk of money (which was supposed to be delivered June 9) there is no way we can responsibly commit to a cruise costing that much money.
Interesting. Almost a mini bidding war.
Yeah, the jerks who want the property just want to pay as little as possible for it. Thank goodness someone else was willing to step in an force their bid back up a little bit!
I don't like those odds...
Hence why Fran is kicking herself for not lying to her parents and keeping the property that they traded for these crappy investments.
Sorry to hear that.
Well, it's not
that bad. But we're smart enough to know that if we don't nip it in the bud, it could become something. At this point it's more of an annoyance than anything terrible.
Good luck with that Alison. It's been a long haul.
Yeah tonight is our 3 year anniversary in the new house. And still not done moving!
Of course you did!
Certainly looks it. Did it clear up later?
I believe so, did you see the pictures on deck? I think it was sunny.
That's cool! I didn't know they'd do all that!
I knew they would make it cool, but had no idea that all the bars and restaurants would change sightly plus uniforms and such. They really went all out as you will see later.
Sorry, I don't know what that pattern is supposed to be?
It's the Rebel alliance symbol.
And thanks for all the photos of them. There were lots!
There were more, I just didn't get as many good ones as I wanted a lot came out blurry, there were tons of mini Reys running around the ship!
I'm drooling looking at all the food porn.
That breakfast was really a good one!
This may be a dumb question, but... why?
Aren't the meals free? If so, why take some for a sandwich?
Or is that for a snack in the room?
Believe it or not, I can be "picky" about what I eat. Not that I don't like a lot of things, but if I don't feel like eating a burger, there is no way you're going to get me to eat one. Same thing for pizza or whatever, pasta maybe, but there was no "all you can eat pasta bar" in the quick service area. I knew that I would eat a salami sandwich (I became partial to those, butter, fancy salami, french roll) in France way back when we backpacked through there. So I made one and put it in the fridge and it turned out to be a good call. As you'll see in the next update, I didn't like the other things they had available and it would have been a pain to get them to bring me the salami, so good that I already had it!
Plus as you'll see in the next update there was a good reason I didn't want to overeat.
That must've been fun!
I thought it was totally cool, and I was glad I just happened to be up there when it happened!
You don't fool around, do you!
Well you'll have to test that out for yourself.
(with clothes, I mean...
)
Oh. Never mind.
Coming up soon!
