Jude - The Mad Widow Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 I famously (among those who know me) have a scatter gun approach to life, I put it down to being both dyslexic and bi polar... that seems a reasonable excuse.... Shock horror - I have booked house sitters for the duration of the Kit Car Show at Stoneleigh for next May. 😲 This would be considered planning wouldn't it??? I am on a roll now and fancy a cruise, being new to planning how do I do that? Book a cruise then try to get a house sitter OR book a house sitter then try and find a cruise... how does this planning thing work? Be nice 😏 2 Quote
stephenh Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Hello Jude, well done. Not sure if you want sensible replies to your last question or not?😐 If you are after serious suggestions then I'd certainly recommend booking the cruise first as good ones do tend to get booked up quite a long time before sailing, and unlike a hotel based package, if you chose a particular cruise you want to go on, you cannot pick and chose your week or fortnight. For example, we have been on a river cruise of the Douro quiet recently, for 8 days. The company we went with only do 3 of these cruises a year. Quote

You are right, booking the cruise first is the best option. I have done a lot of cruises but this would be my first solo venture. I'm not fond of flying so cruising is my first choice. I am so disorganised - I had tickets for Silverstone classic, Goodwood and a few other events, all missed due to my lack or organisation at finding someone to have my dogs. 🦴 Its all a bit of an adventure!

Nic Chase (NICO) - Shropshire & Mid-Wales AO Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 Jude, I’m just wondering why you can’t board your dogs at a boarding kennel ? 1 Quote
Jude - The Mad Widow Posted October 23, 2019 Author Posted October 23, 2019 Because they are spoilt. One is a therapy (ptsd) dog. I think a kennel would be a big shock to their system. They sleep with me.. Just the way it is. Be like putting your children in care! Quote

I thought that might be the case 😀 See you at Stoneleigh. 👍 1 Quote
