Figured I'd post this here in the travel section as well. A couple of us are trying to put together a group cruise sometime in 2010. If you follow this link:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/minglecruise2010/

You can participate in the planning process (if you want) or just be kept in the loop about plans so you can decide later if you want to join in. The more people we get, the better rates and perks we can get. While nothing has been set in stone, price is a deciding factor for all of us, so we are going to do this as cheaply as we possibly can.

So, if you are in any way interested, sign up at the yahoo group to keep yourself in the know. Unfortunately, there are too many people to e-mail each person individually and there's no easy way on Mingle to e-mail a large group, so please do not ask me to "keep you posted," I can't do that and that's why I set up the yahoo group page.

We'll be posting details as they emerge as well.

I would love to go, but I have a feeling my schedule is just going to be too hectic!

I hope that you get a good group to go! Happy planning!

Too bad Tanya!

I know! But I will be in a transition from my master's program and into my doctoral program without a break in between! I will probably need a vactions, but won't have the time!

Good luck Tanya, try and remember to relax some while doing all that hard work. Wish you could join us.

Thanks! I wish I could too! And believe me I will be taking some time to relax in there!

i'm not interested in being part of the planning, or even voting for departure dates, length of cruise, etc.

however, would you be willing to at least post the itinerary here, once it's been decided?

it'd definitely be something in which robin and i would be interested.

Oh, I'll definitely be doing that. I'll post everything, including price. Then, if people are interested, they can still sign up at the yahoo group page to get the travel agent information and participate (or not) as they want to. We'll also post information on any group activities, on-board parties, etc on there. Again, this is for anyone interested, the level of your actual participation in anything is strictly up to you. The only thing we do ask if you do sign up with the group is to post an introduction so we know who we're talking to. But even that's not a requirement.

I hope you join us, I think it'll be a lot of fun

I think its an AWESOME idea thanks for looking into this ... I have always to " cruise " once, and having already met some peeps from here already , and having a blast doing it FYI, I agree totally with, post itinerary here then letting us decide accordingly ...
You are awesome for taking on this endeavour... thanks

Eh, it gives me something to obsess over Gotta channel that OCD in a positive way, right j/k but I do love cruising and this was all SnugglesbyFire's idea, I'm just pretty good at putting stuff like together so I'm kind of taking the lead.

Hopefully, it'll pan out

*bump*

I think I can make it

Mirror, make sure you sign up at the group page if you haven't already

Bump

Hey guys, sorry to do this. Tootsweet pointed me to a site that I think will be far more manageable and less confusing. I've started a new group there which we will use instead of the old yahoo site. You will need to re-sign up at the new site! You'll need to create an account there in order to become a member of the group and post. It's free!

Here it is:

P.S. I added a chat room

i have been to the site on yuku and i been trying for the last hour to post and introduce myself and i cant figure it out. i need to find out a bunch of info since im on ssi and have to save. but i can even post

Morning! I just approved you and you can go in and read what little's there so far and post and ask questions and whatever you like. I had to set it up so that people were approved, it's a public site and I wanted to keep the group closed to Mingle members and their friends/family only. Girl's gotta sleep, ya know

yes i understand completely,
i thought i was doing something wrong. well im off to the site
