The Crazie Explorers New England Cruise September 15, 2011

Hi everyone! What a great computer guy I am married to! We make a good team. I fork out the dough and he buys and installs the computer parts and programs. We are back in business. YIPEE! It is awful to be without a computer when you usually use it daily. Anyway, about the St. John trip with 6 of us in the van. Hector and Debbie, I received an email from the tour place and here is what she responded:

The tour will include:

Pick up at the Port of Saint John

mini city highlights tour where you can see the Reversing Rapids and some historical points of interest here in Saint John.

Coastal drive where you will see the twinned covered bridges and lighthouses

Stop in St. Martins, a quaint fishing village that is a photographers delight! Exit the vehicle and explore the sea caves and walk on the ocean floor ( provided the tides are low )

An opportunity to have a mug up of world famous clam chowder in St. Martins

Coastal drive back to the city of Saint John

Option to be dropped off at the Old City market, or the Port.

So, Hector and Debbie.... let me know what you think. It is right up a photographers alley. Les & I are in if you are game!

Toni :)

Good Morning Crazies; Toni glad to hear you're back in compute bussines, You can count Us in, Cameras are ready!. Hopefully We can get Bebbie & Her Hubby to join us, andthat will be that. Now the other item being, When is payment Due? Let me know. I am sure they require some sort of Credit Card to secure the reservation, Again just let Us know the particulars & We will go from there.

I suggest one of the group contact them and make your reservation. They probably will require a credit card.

Hello Crazies; Debbie: glad to hear You & your Hubby decided to join Us, Zach & I will be comparing notes on photography if He doen't mind. Also do you have the phone number for the Tour Company? Tony spoke to them so maybe He can tell us if He will contact them to make the reservations. Tony if so let me know. :biggrin:

Hector, Toni (me) is a girl. I emailed the company. I will be glad to make the reservations with my cc for our group. I will find out the particulars about what we need to do and I will take it from there. Maybe you can give us some good tips on taking better photos while we're together with Debbie and her husband, Zack. I will probably need to PM you and Debbie with any other details I need to share. Looking forward to a fun day with all of you!

Toni

^{Glad you all seem to have worked things out.}

^{Marylou is still having computer troubles........hopefully she'll be back tomorrow and we can continue planning.}

^{Still looking for other ideas for our group besides, dinner in Portofino and slot pull...........any ideas?}

That would be great Toni. Thanks for doing that. Anything I can do, just let me know.

Hector, Zack would love to share notes with you on photography. Looking forward to it!

Hello Everyone! Toni, first and foremost my appologies, if I came accross wrong, I assure You no malice was intended. But now that You have set me straight, I will keep it in mind. :huh2: Now about the tour, I agree with You since You have started a dialect with them, it would be better that You should continue with the reservation. Any help You might require from Me just let me know. As for the picture taking I will help you anyway that I can. I am not a professional photographer my any strech, but I know my way around a camera, and sometimes I get lucky and come out with some awesome shots. My profile photo for example, I took that on my last cruise at the Atlantic Casino/ Hotel in the Bahamas. That is the only shot I have since I managed to loose all other photos of that portion of the trip DUH!!!! Perhaps with Zach's help We'll all come away with great shots. :laugh:

OK Crazie Explorers. I am back in business. Computer is back up and running,

I'm glad to see you got Saint John tour worked out. It seems like a really good tour and as I said before I would have jumped on it if I hadn't been there a couple of times already. Toni - thanks for taking care of the arrangements. I find it works much better if someone actually on the tour handles the arrangements.

As far as other things to do as a group, I believe we discussed doing the Make a Wish walk. I did not add it to the itinerary, as I'm not sure when it will take place but my best guess would be one of the 3 sea days.

I haved also picked up several other "suggestions" from our other cruises. I have seen people do "door decorating contests" - "silly shirt/hats contests" as well as gift exchanges. I'm open to any and all suggestions.

I will email the information on the ordering of the shirts tomorrow. Thanks Hector for taking care of this for us.

Mary Lou; It is good to hear that You have overcome the Computer Blues. I am also relieved that the St. John tour is finally resolved. Just let me know when You get all of the T- shirts information and funds and I will handle it propmtly from there. Glad that I could be of service. :cool2:
