Thanks. Jenn sent me the info.

Just a crazy thought....would there be any cruise ships going from bahrain to the USA?

Would a nice passenger or two be willing to take Ally - and how much would it cost?

Long shot, I know...may not be cheaper....

But GREAT to see where the funds are!

Yes, but how LONG would the trip be??

[Catty1]

Less than a week - on the open sea, there are NO ports of interest! But hang on, I'll try to get more details...

OOOPS...while trying to find out how long it takes to get a ship from Bahrain to New York, I hit "Submit" expecting a quote on cost and distance...and the message got SENT...

oh dear.

Well, it's only my email!

how much longer? I will donate once I get my paypal working right (trying to pay with creditcard but it won't let me now)

Cruise ships do not cross those long distances without stopping along the way. they usually cruise regionally, and then move to another region. It is not financially feasible to make a run between say, Bahrain and U.S.
The longest leg would be transAtlantic, which would be from the closest point of Europe to the U.S. There are just no shipping lanes through the middle of the ocean.
Plus, animals are not allowed on ships (or every old lady would bring the dog along)

I worked on cruise ships for 12 years.

Thanks! I worked on two ships in the piano bar...so I was out of the real world loop!

You're gonna laugh at me, but I was actually trying to find Michael Jackson's address in Bahrain, since he lives there now, lol. He LOVES animals, we all know that one! I couldn't find anything, but dang, I wish I could. Heck, he'd probably fly Ally here on his own jet!

Like I said, silly, but kinda serious, lol.

So... if anyone has Michael Jackson's email address or address, contact him and let him know our plight!!!
