Title: Looks like Jammy and the Missus are going back to Villa
Post by: Jammyisme on December 24, 2006, 08:54:00 AM: Yup. gotta love that last minute stuff. We need to see if the flights are still available. I was checking the weather for the sixth of January and it doesnt look that hot. hmmm I wonder now.

Post by: Charmainiac on December 24, 2006, 12:03:00 PM: Jammy, if things keep going the way they are, we'll be there too!
Zephie & I had planned on Cayo Largo - last minute for the 6th - but he's such a romantic, now he says he wants to go back to Villa Cuba. It's where we got married...
I saw that last minute deal too! $597. 'ya can't beat that!
So I'll keep you posted and we'll have to meet up on the 9th floor for one of those Pina Colada's! :33:

Post by: Jammyisme on December 27, 2006, 06:22:00 AM: My wife is gonna call and try and get the flight today :) Man I loved that bar on the 9th floor. The only thing was that elevator. It scared the hell out of me :o lol It was the screeching grinding sounds it made going down to the main floor . So ya cross your fingers . IT would be the 6th of January and coming back on the 13th.

:D :cubadreamin:

Title: Re: Looks like Jammy and the Missus are going back to Villa
Post by: MCB on December 27, 2006, 08:15:00 PM: Hello Jammy,

You guys in the east get most of the last minute travel "breaks".
The cost of your holiday covered our Transat Club seats (we needed them ..tall and a seven hour flight from Edmonton via Calgary)this past November.
Anyway after this mumbling and grumbling ..give Carlos (the lobby bartender) a big "hug" from his friends in Alberta..on the other hand maybe just a "big hello" (Carlos is a husky fellow).
;)
Title: Re: Looks like Jammy and the Missus are going back to Villa
Post by: Charmainiac on December 27, 2006, 08:19:00 PM: Great "epiphany" Jammy! I think we'll be able to celebrate the real one in Cuba!
Anyway, was at the TA this afternoon and after a bit of wrangling, got them to sort out a price for us.
You see, Zephie is so huge, he can't sit in a normal seat on Air Transat, so we MUST have Club Class, but I can't book that on-line! And the weirdo part of our trip is that we'll be coming back with WestJet - they don't have a Club Class! However, I hear great things about their seats!
Anyway, I'll be going back in the morning to actually book. I wanted to give our TA the time to make sure that this was right!
I'll let you know when I'm all set.
Perhaps by then, BJ will have booked too! :b:

Post by: BJ on December 28, 2006, 07:50:00 AM: Hey,

I just checked and we can't even get a flight out of Halifax on January 6th. So you will have to go without us....but I'm sure you will have fun anyway...I'll just have to wait until April.

Post by: Jammyisme on December 28, 2006, 07:57:00 AM: too bad mcb and too bad BJ . Allrighty then Im having a toast for you people then :D
Title: Re: Looks like Jammy and the Missus are going back to Villa
Post by: Charmainiac on December 28, 2006, 08:45:00 AM: Oh that really is too bad MCB & BJ! I was hoping that we would finally cross paths at VC!
Maybe next time.
and MCB, don't worry about Carlos, being married to a gentle giant myself, I won't have any trouble with passing on the message to "husky" Carlos! :rof:
Title: Re: Looks like Jammy and the Missus are going back to Villa
Post by: Charmainiac on December 28, 2006, 01:23:00 PM: OK. This is it! I've been sitting at my computer for days now, watching for the price to drop one more time, but I can no longer take it! And besides, I'm pretty sure it won't go any lower than it already is!
So I'm off to the TA right now to book! WooHoo!
Zephie's coming with, just to make sure I actually do it today! :rof:
Later...
Title: Re: Looks like Jammy and the Missus are going back to Villa

Title: Re: Looks like Jammy and the Missus are going back to Villa
Post by: Charmainiac on January 01, 2007, 02:11:00 PM: Jammy, are you packed yet? Only 5 more days to go...

Zephie & I just packed our suitcases - it doesn't take us long because we're always raring to leave for Cuba. So we know exactly where everything is that we want to take down with us!

Besides, hangin' around the beach for a week doesn't require much in the way of "clothes"! :rof: :rof: :rof:

Any chance of emailing your friend to see if a villa is available?

Our last room was on top of the main stage last time.

Title: Re: Looks like Jammy and the Missus are going back to Villa
Post by: Charmainiac on January 04, 2007, 10:14:00 PM: I'm all better now BD, Thanks so much for asking!
I was really sick for about 3 1/2 days, then just mildly irritated for another day or so, then completely back to normal. Go figure!
I'm quite thankful for the short-shelf-life of whatever I had! Now I can get on with getting excited about our trip! :party:
