Cruise destination will be a foreign country (Mexico) and a valid passport will be required.


A key reminder for folks like me who need to have a passport reissued. Don't wait 'til the last minute on this task.

Sounds awesome. I loved the dvd, btw.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

gotta check on mine, not sure if it expires this year or not. I'd love to do this, and my wife and I have been wanting to take another cruise (I just hope that if the destination is Mexico, the departure point may be closer to the East Coast - like FL :) )

Site says San Diego departure to points south. Forgot which points.
I think Cabo St Lucas was one?

Waiting to see how big a coin bag I'd need, then add airfare to determine ultimate doability.



..and now I can't get down.

I'm with you on this one, but I think us east coasters are gonna have to bite the bullet and head west if we're gonna cruise w/ the BDHs.

And as for us Europeans, we're basically humped. It's gonna cost a fortune just to get to Ca, and that's before we pay for the cruise.

Hmm... Maybe they can arrange one on this side of the pond too.

Honestly, I'd rather someone on that side of the pond do that. One of the reasons, in the wake of the Flan debacle, that I think people have more trust in this particular venture and these particular people is precisely because it appears to be the only major event on their table, as opposed to Booster which was trying to do several events over the course of any given year.

of course, if I'd actually clicked thru to the site, I'd have seen that - I got a little too excited about the forest to stop ad look at the trees. If I win the lottery, this could still be do-able :)

European cruise! Start at Mallorca, load up on fresh fruit and go to Iceland, bring tomatoes back on the return leg?

Get into character: "Screw customs, there's coin to be made!"
(Note: the above is pure silliness. My sister works for the FDA in the fruit and veggie dept. I know better than to smuggle fresh food. I'm still living with the fruit flies somebody brought in.

HEY! I just realized that airfare to the west coast is probably the same as crossing the Atlantic from here.

I don't think so. UK to the West coast, is looking at the sunny side of a thousand bucks in summer.

Here's what I found at Orbitz (cheap tickets):
2007, 10/22-11/5 there and back:
travelling from Syracuse to SanDiego: $450 to 580us
Syracuse to London: $636- 845.
So the highest price (usually less hassle) within US is pretty comparable to lowest price (ohmigodtheconnections!) non domestic.
I picked those dates because the site wouldn't let me peek into the actual travel dates.
Travelocity and Cheaptix also tend to be good enough sites for ticket purchases. AAA often has a discount if you are a member.
Still a big ouch. Maybe if I could take a lot of time off and drive? (1 week cross country if you use two or more drivers in shifts non stop, five days on a ship, 1 week cross country..ugh.)
Bus is still a good five days each way, train about the same.


..and now I can't get down.
