The Good, the Questions, and the Teary
Patricia September 24th, 2007
Wow, I can tell you that it has been a busy week here in Sea Socks’ Central. I know many people have been calling and my new most popular question is “When do I have to decide?” Did you know this is also the hardest question to answer?
I want to tell you that you have all the time in the world, but you don’t. Absolute last date to choose to join us is February 15, 2008. Now, before you get all happy and say “I have all the time in the world,” let me explain. At that point, I will be able to only offer you what is available on the ship with regards to cabins. I can tell you I just checked the ships availability and there is ONE category of Deluxe Oceanviews left. (And I should note that the price has gone up — so anyone booking after 9/22 — the price is $1500 per person.) There are whole categories of oceanviews that are sold out too. I’m watching closely — but this ship is filling up and if you wait there may not be much left. So, just a reminder it is $500 to hold a cabin — just $500 and you can get the cabin you want, hopefully.
In other news, who would be interested in a day tour and yarn crawl through Seattle on the 9th before we can board the ship? If you are, mention it in comments — if there are at least 15 of you, I’ll get that pulled together — figure you’d need to be downtown and ready by 10am. (Aunty Nin, I know that’s early for you, but you are always up for a little yarny goodness, right?) Also, I have a small group who have asked about dinner at the Space Needle on the 8th. I can put something together, but I need to know how many. Fair warning, the Space Needle isn’t a bargain eatery — by the time I do admission to the top for sunset, dinner, and transportation, we are looking in the neighborhood of $80-$90 per person. So let me know if I need to bark up another tree.
Finally, I have a sad announcement to make. Erin, MamaE, has an issue that will prevent her from joining us. We all know that Erin (like me) has a young man in her life and he needs her. I respect her because she knows when it is time to put the yarn down and her son first — and while I’m sad that she will not be there, but I know it is the right thing for her Cowboy. She’s promised to make us our yarn like last year — she told me tonight, “I’ll be there in yarn-spirit.” I have offered that should anything change I’ll move whatever mountains I can to get her onboard. However, Erin and I are already putting our heads together for things we can do in the future. From the bottom of my heart, I thank her for her support and friendship — Sea Socks is a success because of her help — and she’s already helping me with ideas for Sea Socks ‘09. So, send good wishes to her and her family — then tell a friend that I have an extra cabin, k?
