All Aboard the Don Quijote Leaving 9/19

Well, I know I'm jumping the gun, but Bianca's GOT to be on this ship since she was sitting on the docks at Southampton for three days while they loaded the Independence II and sailed without her!

I am in EXACTLY the same position as you....it's been about a week now since scarlett has been sitting on the dock and I am praying that DON QUIJOTE is finally the vessel she will be on. Being from ATL our cars will enter from Brunswick so it has to be a Wallenius Wilhelmesen ship that carries them home! Keep me updated if your VIN shows up on the WW site please

I've been checking every day. Still nothing. The Don Q sails on Friday. Hopefully I'll see her booked on there before then!

I am scheduled to be done with production on Thursday and while i am expecting to be on the Undine or even the Patriot if I am even luckier, I am praying that I make it on this boat Friday, because that would be solid gold if I did!

I'M ON THE DON Q !!!!!

Sorry to holler, but I just got word from the tracking site that I'm booked on the Don Q. I also saw that I'm not traveling all the way to Charleston, but jumping ship in NY (NJ). That ups my delivery by 3-4 days. This day can't get much better. Let's hope for smooth sailing.

Chuck

Don Q is sitting at the port and mine has been loaded on board (as of 11:22 am GMT). Hurry up everyone else, so we can get underway. Won't be long now.

msport, thanks in advance for the updates.

Photo of the Don Q, taken off one of the tracking sites.

If you look in the upper right corner, you can see one of our Mini's sunning itself.

No dramamine needed here! Bianca's got her party dress on and a Fizzy Frog (Limeade, club soda and vodka), and she's ready to party as we get underway! She's my girl!
