*Snippety*
Brad: So if I am staying in Dubai on the way I am also including an additional charge for that too? $65 for the early day in Male and $65 for the layover in Dubai? I just realized I don't have my stupid routing number with me so I had to back out of the payment gateway. I hope that doesn't screw this all up! I have a SeaGypsies meeting tonight but I will do all the money through the gateway late tonight so that we're square. Since deadline is imminent I will pay for whole trip at once. Might as well go all in...

Well yes, as a matter of fact Whole Hog is the preferred payment method. :D

You are good here Suzy, enjoy the meeting and if you get the payment in tomorrow will be fine too. I will confirm the extra day pre and post trip but I think you have it right. Just wanted to get this reply posted in time for you to see and put your mind at ease for tonight. :angel2:

Oh and until you click the Make Payment button in the PG the information is just stored in a buffer; if you backed out it will time out and dump the buffer with the next periodic system cleanup routine. Just start again tomorrow when you have your proverbial ducks in a row. :diver:

Yeah, personal body guard services and carry on bag concierge are contingent on you not calling me Mariposa :teeth:/>. Musty moth won't work either.

I think Kamala will work out hotel cost for the extra night on the front end of the trip once it gets clear whose going to need it. The Dubai layover on the way back may just be me and you bud! The Dubai Airport has a hotel within the airport which is great and specifically designed to cater to people on layovers. I'll get the details for that soon. I figured check in and do a little sight seeing. Dubai has some amazing things to see!

And I don't know how I feel about being called a butterfly, but hey I'll take it! Posted Image

Kamala: The butterfly made me do it. I am signing up for this trip if there is still room! Please confirm there is still one opening and I will book airfare tonight.
I will likely book on Emirates through JFK.
I am a little nervous about flying to this region by myself. Jose: I see your flight information - if I can book the same flights would you mind?

More like a musty moth, but hey, whatever inflates your BC. :teeth:/> Welcome aboard, Suzy! Posted Image


WOW, EVERYBODY'S a comic. That's it Jose: your nickname for the trip is Mariposa. Brad: So if I am staying in Dubai on the way I am also including an additional charge for that too? $65 for the early day in Male and $65 for the layover in Dubai? I just realized I don't have my stupid routing number with me so I had to back out of the payment gateway. I hope that doesn't screw this all up! I have a SeaGypsies meeting tonight but I will do all the money throught the gateway late tonight so that we're square. Since deadline is imminent I will pay for whole trip at once. Might as well go all in...

Great news! I noticed that it says in post 3 that there are 10 openings in the lower deck and 8 are booked. Makes it seem like there are 14 spots not just 12 and that there are two remaining spots. Just wondering?
