Got the phone call yesterday. All I had to do was give them my credit card number, Social Security number, my bank account numbers, my dog and two cats. I'll miss them, but this will probably be my only chance to cruise through The Grand Canyon. I asked the nice fellow if he was putting me on, I mean, how can one of those big ships find its way through that hole in the ground? He told me not to worry about a thing and I was immediately upgraded to the top deck! Drinks included too!! You don't find service like that anymore. I proceeded to give him my email (I was a bit nervous about that, didn't want one of those hackers getting in, right?) and he told me to look for a confirmation number.

I'm still waiting, but I am very excited. I noticed that my bank and credit card folks have been sending me numerous emails. Probably want to congratulate me.

Now, how to tell the dog and cats about this...........?

Bon Voyage!!

Very well. Forward me those details and I'll see what I can do. Will the kids mind being put to work on board? I'll need help setting up the shuffleboard.
You should be receiving them forthwith...
....uh, the kids were part payment to the crooks cruise brokers, only.
There is no fricking way I'm taking a cruise with my boys. Momma needs a break! :biggrin2:

I see. No room for them anyway by the way it sounded. The gentleman made it sound like the cabins were filling up in a hurry. I mean....how couldn't they?

I thought you meant Tom Cruise for a second and I wasn't sure if that was a good thing. I mean sure, he has the money and jets and a successful career but he does come with *some* baggage.

Hmmm. I had a bad feeling about this at first, but everyone is so happy for you, so I will just yell Bon Voyaggie like Bugs Bunny and throw my doubts to the wind!

Take lots of pictures! It is a rare thing to see the Grand Canyon on a cruise. Better document it for posterity!

Please tell me that your travel agent wasn't named "Brains", and this phone call didn't come around 10:00 p.m. on the fourth.......

I'm not quite sure what the guy's name was. Very heavy accent. He was going to let me talk to the Captain, but I told him that wasn't necessary. I got the call yesterday 7/6/15. I figured that was a good omen.

Oh, good.....I'd say it's on the up and up, then. We don't have accents here, and Brains was complaining on the fourth that his boat didn't have a captain......
