JUST CHECKED (SOS)

THEY MUST OF GOTTEN A POLICE REPORT ON BIMINI & JD, SO THEY BANNED US FROM THEIR SHIPS.

YES, IT DOES, BUT IT MIGHT BE A FEW HOURS OFF OR A DAY. IF THEY ASK FOR A WEATHER REPORT.

Thanks Jearl! Yeah, I've been checking back and forth b/w the week 16 and week 17 threads. Technically I was built with all the week 16ers..but I'll be shipping with most of the week 17ers... I'm sure those other guys will be on FALSTAFF as well, but we'll wait and see.

You're not the only East Coaster, ahfs1! I'm in Charleston, SC. I just checked WW again (for the sixth time today) and still nothing for me...so I'm sticking to my plan of convincing myself that I'm on Carribean Highway. It's the only thing that makes sense!

As far as I know, I did not select options that get installed at the VDC.
So hopefully they'll give it the 'once over' and send it up to me...(please)

YOU TOO? Congrats. Hope both of us get a birthday present. Mine's the 25th (BRG is faster).

Everyone who thinks they might be on the PARTY BARGE with me oughta call your MA and have him/her check. Did I just say 'on the PARTY BARGE'? As in Carribean Highway? You betcha I did. Ky just confirmed it. MINIUSA now shows me as being on the Carribean Highway. So MINI must now have the Bill of Lading recorded into the system for the Carribean Highway. Ky said the system only showed a date of Sunday for departure, and since that's the only vehicle carrier that left that day, we're making the connection.

Now are we headed to Houston or Charleston?

Any official word of a mutiny yet? Or are our babies getting sloshed (in booze)?

Stuffing themselves at the buffet?

(Carb loading for those high speed runs).

OK, I just got off the phone with ASK MINI and Sonny said that my baby shipped out TODAY, and should reach the Port of Charleston in 11 days (17th)

. So I have no idea what ship I'm on...I'm assuming another K-Line ship. I haven't seen anything scheduled to leave today!

So mysticturner & MINI TREKKIE, you have my full support for mutiny to take Carribean Highway straight to Houston and bypass Charleston.

ahfs1 -- here's hoping you get some good news soon!

Thanks ClubDal. I'm glad to hear you're on a boat for sure! I'll give 'em a call around 4. (I tend to get happier people when I call around that time. They are usually quicker to volunteer the details too) I'd emailed my MA on Monday, but never heard anything back.

I hope I'm proven wrong here!

ahfs1, I talked to a Micah too, probably the same one and he told me the same thing except I am already on a ship - but he said it will still take a week or so to get on a boat. WEIRD!

So I suppose that's why they mention in the tracking sticky to keep calling until you get the same answer...I wonder if Micah even looked us up. I think it takes them extra steps to see where we are once they leave the MINI plant. At least that's how it seems when I spoke with Josh(?) last week. (Told me the process it went through at the plant, said it was transported, told me to wait while it took a while to load the rest of the information, and then that it was released to the port of exit and waiting to load a ship.)

Maybe Micah doesn't know week 17 tells everyone everything about their MINI and when every little thing happens! I just don't think it's possible for me to be the only one not on a ship now... Maybe I'll call now?

The 17th? That's the day the Patriot pulls into Charleston. It's strange that you don't show up on the W&W site.

It's all very strange. I guess I'm on the "MYSTERY TOUR"! He said that the ship departed today, so that kind of rules the Patriot out for me. It's the same timeline as the Carribean Highway (May 4th - May 15th compared to May 6th - May 17th) so it sounds like whatever ship I'm on, it's coming straight to Charleston!

They (KLines) is keeping it a MYSTERY TOUR because they don't want to admit to the world that the Captain got outsmarted by a bunch of MINIs and the ship is on it's way to Houston instead of Charleston.

GO MINIs!!
