I know what you mean about saving money. I hate buying new. I got three options: color, stripes, and MFSW. Another customer pointed out the markup and the sticker so I asked. I don't think you have to try real hard to get it knocked off. Our biggest problem was finding our MA when we were ready to order (I think he was in a meeting).

that would have added a few more hours before I get my car, which is of course unacceptable

True. It's the principal of the matter though.

am I just nuts, or do other people periodically click on the link that shows the position of the Rigoletto? I hate to admit it, but I check 2-3 times a day

like just now...

I keep it up in a tab in Firefox. Then I can just click the update link. You should at least bookmark it.

Okay, so everyone has gone into hibernation while we sail across the Atlantic. Thought I'd wake you up:

Has anyone noticed that the WW website now shows the Rigoletto arriving on the 24th (not the 25th)?
http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppSche...esselSearch.do (put in the Rigoletto's name)

It's interesting that all of the ships seem to do a loop around the world.

Hey, it turned... the Rigoletto turned...

as of 12 Jun 1800, the ship turned as is now heading in a westerly direction.

Hell, it doesn't take much to excite me these days. I must be getting delirious from the time at sea...

Maybe someone fell off and they're going back to pick 'em up.

Ok so think of it this way, we have officially been at sea for ONE WEEK that only leaves us with TWO MORE WEEKS until our cars are on land!!! That's exciting!! Slowly but surely we are getting closer!

Two weeks is too much to think about! I prefer to look at the milestones:
- Should be passing through (near) the Virgin Islands within the next 24 hours
- 2-3 days from now we'll go through the Panama Canal
- after that, it's about 7-8 days to port

I know... I don't mean to sound like a snob but I kind of am and so becuase my Land Rover went back to the dealer I am borrowing my friends Kia Rio while she is in Greece for the next 7 weeks (or until my MINI comes!) and it has NO power steering and NO air conditioning!!!! So I am counting down the weeks until it gets here becuase I would really prefer to have a fully loaded car again! I know it's very vain of me, and I am so appreciative that she's letting me use her car. But still... can't wait to get my MINI!!!!! (Not knocking the Kia, so please don't send me hate mail lol)

the only unknown is the time once it leaves the ship to get to the dealership. I am thinking that is a ~2 week process. So, if the ship is unloaded on the 24th of this month, I hope to see my car by somewhere July 7-14th..? What are your thoughts?
