I still can't call ASK-MINI but I am finally 'Awaiting Transport' (on the MINI OL)!!! Yay!

 

That great. We're all meeting at a pub by the docks, so bring your "party hat"

 

With my luck, J.D. will be on the "TASCO". A few extra day, so he hang out at the pubs and meet a few women But I hope he's on the first boat out !!!!

 

I have my sombrero and maracas.

 

I called the automated ASKMINI this morning and my baby is "complete and waiting to be released to the carrier". Yaaaayyy! Jearl, Dez and Badmini, perhaps our little ones will ride together. Let's party!

 

Well I've managed to confirm it. The Carribean Highway is one of the KLine ships. So here's the schedule:

SHIP..............DEPARTING......ARRIVING
Patriot..........May 3.............May 12 in New York, NY......May 17 in Charleston, SC

Tasco...........May 8.............May 17 in New York, NY......May 20 in Charleston, SC (updated dates, was a day later)

Carribean.....May 4.............May 15 in Charleston, SC
Highway

 

Well , My mini has been booked on the Patriot as of this morning.



Vessel: PATRIOT Port of origin : SOUTHAMPTON Voyage : EB818-PAT Port of Destination : NEW YORK, NY Priority :
Customer Ref. Nbr:
Status Port Time(dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm) RECEIVED AT TERMINAL SOUTHAMPTON 30/04/2008 14:41 BOOKED SOUTHAMPTON 04/04/2008 14:43


Just a couple of more weeks to get Axel home !

 

I'll bring the Nacho's and PACE "HOT" picante sauce

 

Looking good. I don't think we can get confirmaion on the K-Line ships, so I guess we'll have to use process deduction to assign the people that aren't on WW. I can only hope my car came off the line this morning and makes it on the Patriot by it's 6:00pm departure time tomorrow.

 

That great news! Hubs, I hope Axel does do a banana-in-the-tailpipe trick on all of the ROLLS ROYCE'S on the dock.

 

I guess that means I'm hoping for Carribean Highway. I won't get to track it cause it's K-Line, but it would get here (and then hopefully to me) two days sooner!!! It's sounding like I might have him in time for Memorial Day Weekend .

 

We might have to sneak him on board, but we'll see But first GET HIM OUT OF THE PUB.

 

Still no listing info for me being on the Patriot, so perhaps it's Carribean Highway. I'll call my substitute MA this morning (my MA is on vacation). It'll be sad to split from all the friends in the pub. But the ships are arriving to bring our babies here!

 

WHOOO HOOO

similar to Zugar: My Clubman is "complete and waiting to be released to the carrier" per ASK-MINI's automated system this morning. . .

OH YEAH BABY ! ! ! ! !

 

 

my wife makes a mean Margarita...we're gonna need something to wash down the HOT sauce

 

I found another article in the Southampton Echo. This was from the unusual happening page.

Package store barters for bikes

by Michael O'Hamlestel

When Jeremy Standston arrived at work on Thursday, he was greeted by three Triumph Rocket III motorcycles chained to the security gates of his store, Standson's Fine Spirits. A note had been left with the bikes indicating the owner was willing to barter the three bikes in exchange for a long list of liquor to be delivered to the port.

"At first I dismissed the idea as loony", Mr. Standson said. Continuing he said, "But when I started looking at the tab and my costs, I realized me & the missus could finally take that motorcycle holiday we've been dreaming of." He plans to sell the third motorcycle to cover his holiday expenses. With the Triumphs valued at over 12,000 quid each, the Standson's should have quite a holiday.


Surely our babies aren't responsible for this too.

 

 

Did he fined any shipping papers with the bikes. I just checked the Daily Echo and read that they are looking for some hooded youngsters spraying ketchup all over Southampton "WHO ARE THESE HOODED KIDS"

 

She going to be busy making her margarita's with all the pub hopping MINI'S

 

Papers are a good point. And there's no evidence that it's our babies. I mean it could just be some rich guy who decided to dump the bikes he bought for his spring vacation and stock the yacht for his summer trip to the Med. And would this storeowner just 'drop off the booze next to the green MINI'?

 

mysticturner,

When they arrive, we might have to do a drug test on them. And check for any emties under the seats.

 

I tracked the FIDELIO, It's 1/2 way across the Atlantic by now.

 

Mini Trekkie what are you using to track FIDELIO? I have been trying to track on this site http://www.sailwx.info but its not coming up.

 

I used sailsx and I click over England and it has a list. You must scroll down and look for the name of the ship then click on the name and it will show you on the map. Or you can click site map then ship track, and then search by name.
