Roll Call Celebrity Millennium 10/29/2006

On our last cruise to Northern Europe we went with Mobal GSM World cell phone. The deal is you purchase the phone for $49 or $99 and only pay for the time you use, no monthly charges. You install the sim card and it works for all of Europe. We used the phone without a hitch in Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallin, and Oslo. Rates per minute vary from country to country. The website for info is www.mobalrental.com/. We'll be bringing ours on the Millemium. Good luck

Diane, we're not Elite yet - only 4 X cruises, but I'm with you a good relaxed breakfast sounds good to us - we can make our final arrangements for debarkation at the CC party maybe?

Joe, did you receive my info about the Tuscany tour?

Shannon, Fira is directly above (on the cliffs) where the tender drops us off.

The path leading to the top run alongside the cable car. It's the same path that the donkey's walk up and down - one small problem......... it's full of donkey poop and very smelly. We saw a few people walking it, mostly backpackers that come to the island on the ferry, but it is walkable if you can tolerate the "other factors"!

Thanks Jackie. I guess we will have to wear our wellies for the hike up the hill. We could make a game of it , hopscotch except with donkey poo.

There is a travel article in the NY Times yesterday about Villefranche, Eze and French Riviera. You need to register. http://travel2.nytimes.com/2006/07/30/trav...ml?pagewanted=1

Yes the Sunday Times article was quite informative in fact Suanne of Suanne and Harvey made me aware of it yesterday - she read her paper before I did - glad Diane posted the link. Thanks Diane.
