Add a fourth. Somebody that you can chill with and divide time with and without the folks.

But i would regret it in the present. They are so indecisive, short tempered, and and dad throws a fit every time he can't micromanage something or anything his way and only his way or he'll purposely **** up a vacation, trip, or family get together. He's done it just about every time the last 20 years or so and it gets worse each time.

Can't do that with certainty. The cruise is booked to capacity and I'd have to get somebody on a waiting list. Plus, there's not too many chicks I know that I'd consider helping out financially to afford a trip like this or who could afford to go period. Shit, if I do go, I'm forking over about $5K or so just for myself. Honestly, I'd rather put that $$$ towards a new vette.

I think everybody is great ,I just dont want to be around them.
Nix's the unwashed mass's on cruise ships. I have been to Europe
on Viking river boats, They are nice but if you are not use to first class
you probably would not fit in.
I guess, count me out on this adventure.

Okay, we will just put you on the 'Donations List'.

You're too even-keeled and well behaved anyway. A poor fit for this crowd.
This cruise would be about 'embracing the suck'. Arguments, debates, confrontations, practical jokes, dodgeball, boxing bouts, etc. Also, excessive drinking and possible drug use. You never know.

Crap! I just thought of this: Doug could serve us all at once if he found out we were all on the same cruise ship! It would be very easy for his lawyer to have subpoenas delivered to one location vs all over the United States. Crap.

Of course this is true!

You couldn't pay me to be stuck for days on a cruise anymore. Trashy people, annoying children, infectious disease...

I agree with all of that. Then add in the fact that all that has to happen for the ship to start belching raw sewage into the cabins and hallways is to lose power for a few hours, and I decided that is one experience I will be happy to live my life without!

Count me out.

I'd rather pour honey on my dick and lay on an ant pile than go on a cruise ship with several thousand people I don't know - and don't want to know.

No passport required on that one. Also, October is really late in the year for Alaska, gonna be cold.

Having said that I would go back again.,

I’ve never been and I will never board one of those floating petrie dishes.

What about a river cruise in the USA ?

Then let's have an Amish-themed barn raising on your property for a week.

I actually would not be opposed to a get together at my place once the house is finished and I have a few projects completed.
But a few names that you mentioned would not be welcome.

We’ll be there mid January. In the mean time Alaska just popped up on our to-do list. Going in July

I have friends and family in NC and SC. I do get to that area ever so often. Would be honored to burn a steak for you and the wife or go out for dinner.

Count me in, even though it would cost me $10,000 in e85 and tires.
