September 12, 2009 ~ Last Call for Tortola!

[UKANGEL]

Ahhh, that looks really nice right about now. Much better than this office chair.:lmao:

lol Emily.....exactly!:thumbsup2






YES YES YES!!! I would LOVE to do a Castaway Cay day with you. That's exactly where I would put my chair too.....right on the water's edge. How DIVINE!

I miss it because John doesn't do beaches.......he hates the sand. How about Mark? Does he like the beach?


Mark doesn't mind the beach but he prefers to spend most of his time in the water rather than on the beach as he can't take the heat so much. We both love CC though:woohoo: We can have a DIS camp on the beach!:banana:

Fine with me.....I'll ask John if he can tough it out for one day.....we'll have to get him a cabana and keep the drinks coming.......then he might not mind so much.

I'm with Mark too.....if it's too hot, I need to be wet. As soon as I dry off, I'll jump right back in.

For those that don't like the beach too much get to Serenity Bay early real early and go to the left Joe and I went back there last cruise and it was great there is a pathway back there to the restrooms and the BAR!!! so you can escape really fast whenever you want to for a drink or break from the sand plus I think it is more shady back there than the main section of Serenity Bay. The reason I say get there early because there is only about 15 chairs. The only downside to hiding back there is the water bottom has alot more growth but if you wear water shoes no problem.

Thanks for the tip Maureen....now all we need to do is find a hammock!

[pit303]

I remember there was one hammock back there. I will check when we go next month.

Where do you live in the Pocono's we have been up there camping and my girls went to girl scout camp there many years ago. We live in Upper Chichester about 5 minutes from Delaware.

NICE.....we own land in Delaware.....we go there all the time for our escapes to the ocean. We could do a minimeet if you're up for it. We would come down there and then continue on to Delaware for the weekend. I would love that.

We're in Saylorsburg, just North of Wind Gap and West of Stroudsburg. We're next door to Brodheadsville at Route 33 and 209.

Thanks for checking out the hammock.....you're going next month???? How great for you. Which cruise are you doing?

Weren't you on the WB PC Repo? Your name looks very familiar, but I don't recall running into you on there.:confused3

:woohoo:


gotta love those hammocks too! we normally get there pretty early and have been lucky enough to grab a hammock a couple of times:cheer2: I do wish there was an easily accessible pathway (boardwalk do I mean?) along the beach....it can be quite hard to walk along sometimes.


mmmmmmmm......... Serenity Bay..........one Konch cooler and one beer please.....:rolleyes1

We also have a place in DE we are in PotNets in Long Neck love it down there we are on the bayside about 30 minutes from the ocean also can't beat the taxfree shopping at the outlets We have very good friends that live downthere so we go down all year not just in the summer.

No we weren't on the WB PC. The DCL cruises we have been on so far:
October 4, 06, Dec 28, 07 NYE, Sept 24,08 BB Sept 27, 08 Double Dip.
We are going on our next cruise Nov 30th on the Wonder first time for that ship. We really like cruising been on a couple of Carnival cruises also.

I love the area you live in Joe always wanted to buy property up there but we ended up down the beach since that is where the girls and I wanted to be maybe someday we will buy up your way.

I was actually trying to find a picture of the two of us to post. On the Double Dip my DDBF took tons of pictures still waiting for them to get them to me:rolleyes1 :rolleyes1 especially since our older DD got engaged :love: :love: on that trip so I really want a copy of those pictures.

Now I know why you seem so familiar......I was booked on the Sept 08 DD and checked out that thread. But I ended up cancelling it because I did the PC instead. We would love to see pics. I just posted some of me and DH on this thread recently, so you know what we look like.

Me and DH John are ocean people.....don't ask me what we're doing in the mountains. We bought land in Laurel, DE but it's got a Georgetown address. It's in lower, slower Delaware. We're about 15 minutes west of Bethany Beach. I love it there.

How awesome that you had such great moments to remember on the DD cruise. When is your DD's wedding? That must be so exciting for you.:love:

I am very familiar with Laurel and Georgetown (Walmart RT 113) we are about 30 minutes from you we are right off Rt 24 and 5 We are right across the bay from Dagsboro on the Indian River side and Dewey on the Rehoboth Bay side love to take the boat over to the Rusty Rudder.

Wedding is still in the planning stages right now she it talking about March 2010 but she also has mentioned getting married on the beach and having her reception at Baywood CC in Long Neck. I really need to narrow her down soon so the fun can begin:scared: :scared:

Wow, that makes us neighbors in DE....we should do a minimeet there. We could meet at the Rusty Rudder next time you're down there. Sounds like fun.

Oh yea, after you pin her down with an exact date and place......the FUN (chaos) begins! Why is that always the way? John and I always said that if you could get through the wedding preperations together then the marriage will be easy. Good Luck and Enjoy!

That would be great to do minimeet I will let you know the next time we head down.

Thank you for the Good Luck on the wedding plans I know we will need it:) :)

[UKANGEL]

Don't want to bring everyone down but this is very much on my mind right now and I need to tell someone. (sorry Maz I know you've already heard this)

Some of you may remember the very sad hit and run killing of my best friend's daughter in Feb 2007. Joanne was killed by a woman who wasn't taxed/insured, and then drove away from the scene leaving Jo for dead. Her husband then helped her to set fire to the car to destroy any evidence

Just about 10 weeks ago after much heartache and a lengthy case, the woman was given just 9 months in prison, her husband a few months and a neighbour who also helped them was sentenced. Nothing would ever bring Jo back of course but this was not justice.

Yesterday the courts saw fit to release all three of these wicked people after serving just weeks. It makes a mockery of the British justice system I think, and tells my friend and her poor husband and other children, that Jo's life was worth almost nothing to other people.

I am so angry, and so sad for all the family. I don't want this to turn into a heavy debate but I had to vent somewhere...thanks for listening.

We're about 15 minutes west of Bethany Beach. I love it there.

Had to sneak my way into this conversation... Small world, we go to Bethany beach every year to see My brother and his wife, Bethany.. Umm she was named after the town.. since umm that is where she was conceived.. ;) According to her parents.. Agreed I love that beach too. We love watching the Dolphins that seem to love being there..

Is this before you get to the Castmember beach? I thought that was the only thing on 'the left'? :confused3

[pit303]

Yes, there is a fence between the castmember beach and the end of serenity bay we were sitting next to the small fence was great especially when one of those "adult beverages" was calling our names from the bar area!!;) ;)

We love watching the Dolphins that seem to love being there..

We were out in Rehoboth Bay this summer in the boat just having left the Rudder and the dolpins were following a sailboat near us it was so amazing to see we stopped the boat and so did alot of other people and just watched them swimming along back to the inlet and back into the ocean this was the 1st summer that I remember the dolphins coming into the bay. I have seen them for years at the beach but never swimming in the bay before.

[Tink rules]

I've been off in Versailles trying to sort out a peace agreement.

So how did the talks go?

:lmao: :lmao: That was a PAST life, Mister! I know, sometimes I get my different incarnations confused too. Why, just yesterday I was reminding myself to sharpen my spear.

.

No sharp objects are allowed anymore Jackie... Go get out your inflatable spear...

But it all seemed so real.

I could swear that Lloyd George and I were giggling and teasing Clemenceau about his bed head.

I thought I read BOY George!!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :scared: :scared: :scared:

:lmao: :lmao:

THAT REMINDS ME.....I never told you my Teddy Roosevelt story. Well, we'll have to get together on THIS cruise, because I sure can't post it on the DIS!

I have one too but I bet it's not as good as yours... ;)

Angel, not only is this story tragic, but it's so unjust. It's like adding insult to injury. How unfair. My thoughts will be with you and your friend and her family.....hoping you all find comfort and strength.

Stacy and Maureen.....maybe we should plan a bigger minimeet at the Rusty Rudder. I always say, the more the merrier!

The dolphins are the best part.

I seem to see a theme in your family Stacy, you live on the Jersey Shore, you have a brother in Key West and a brother in Bethany Beach. Any other family members? Do they all live near the ocean?

I only noticed because I'm an ocean person and so is DH John. We both grew up on Long Island, NY so we were fish since we were little. That's why we love cruising. We love being at sea and sitting on our verandah. We usually start every morning out there doing coffee from room service.

This is really getting to be a small world I also grew up on Long Island:goodvibes

I would never pass up the Rudder we should wait till the spring or summer when we can sit outside and enjoy the bay breeze

[pfishgirl]

Actually... it is the SAME brother... The one who lives in Key West.. Bethany his wife, it's her parents who own 2 beach houses.. The one in Bethany Beach is where we all go each year.. They also have a house in Bethesda Beach Maryland..

As for the Beach thing... We have a house in Florida that isn't near the beach.. Sadly we only have a lake with alligators and no swimming.. :guilty:

[EllaEnchanted]

She told me this afternoon that the wedding will be December 09 before XMAS:santa: now we just have to pick a day in Dec. and hope we can get a place to hold the reception :scared1:


That's a beautiful time of the year. My close cousin had her wedding early December and everything was decorated beautifully with white lights everywhere......soooooooo pretty. You will LOVE that she's getting married at that time of the year.

[EllaEnchanted]

This is really getting to be a small world I also grew up on Long Island:goodvibes

WOW.....what are the chances of that.....I grew up in Suffolk County in Selden and DH John grew up in Nassau County in Bellmore. How about you?

I would never pass up the Rudder we should wait till the spring or summer when we can sit outside and enjoy the bay breeze

YES, let's wait until it's warm so we can sit outside. That would be perfect.

[EllaEnchanted]

That's sooooooo funny about how Bethany got her name. Well, it is a beautiful area....;)

As for the Beach thing... We have a house in Florida that isn't near the beach.. Sadly we only have a lake with alligators and no swimming.. :guilty:


I stand corrected. Thanks.....got it.

Alligators?!?:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[pfishgirl]

I stand corrected. Thanks.....got it.

Alligators?!?:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Yup ::yes:: Alligators.. They are in every lake we have in our development and they range from small to almost 6 feet.. :eek:

[EllaEnchanted]

Yup ::yes:: Alligators.. They are in every lake we have in our development and they range from small to almost 6 feet.. :eek:



Stacy, we're both on at the same time again and it's after 1am.

Everytime we go to FL I look for alligators in the wild and never see any. I guess I'm looking in all the wrong places. But I can't even imagine living with them nearby in the lakes. Do they ever come out near the homes?:scared1:

Nope.. but we have been told that one ate a small dog :sad1:

We were told when we were looking at the lots to choose from about them..

We have a lake in front of our house.. that when they get to 6 feet they get removed by animal control because they can't curb their appetites.. So they come around reguarly and check.. We have a huge lake, Lake Hancock, right in the development, but I haven't been over there yet in person. We drove by it but never got out to go to the edge..

Ohh I should have a pic, be back in a minute..

Getting a SunTan..

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t144/Pixie_Tales/Pictures038.jpg


Swimming in the lake behind out house.. Not directly behind, like in my backyard.. I can tell by the water, that lake is different then ours..

Wow those are GREAT shots. They look so real, not like on TV. I know, they are live and up close. They're so cool. Thanks for sharing.

If any of you gator watchers ever get a chance to drive over the Lake Jessup bridge that connects Sanford and Oviedo, you will see TONS of the big guys hanging out in the water! I used to drive that way to work every day, and I developed this superstitious system where I could tell what kind of day I would have by how many gator heads I counted on my drive :rotfl:

We've been on a little pond in our home for three years, and thankfully I have yet to see a gator. I have seen an otter though. And lots of turtles. We have some pretty big lakes nearby, but I don't think our pond is big enough to support a gator, thank goodness! I've lived here all of my life and they scare the poop out of me! :scared1:

[rotary2808]

You wouldn't think we'd have them, but there have been gator spottings here in N. Alabama in the Tennessee River.:scared1: Supposedly years ago only females were put in there to control some sort of animal population. The females weren't supposed to breed and they would just die off. Well what do you know, they're still here!!!!:lmao:

[pit303]

YES, let's wait until it's warm so we can sit outside. That would be perfect.

I grew up in Glen Cove in Nassau County

Yes, we will wait until spring or early summer we will be even closer than to our cruise :cool1: :cool1:

[pit303]

Yup ::yes:: Alligators.. They are in every lake we have in our development and they range from small to almost 6 feet.. :eek:

My cousin lives in Palmetto which is over on the gulf side and she told me they actually come out sometimes and just take a nice stroll down the the street going from pond to pond behind their houses :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

[EllaEnchanted]

I grew up in Glen Cove in Nassau County

You and my DH were neighbors. Glen Cove is a beautiful area.

We're going back to the Island next weekend to visit cousins in Manorville and Port Jefferson in Suffolk county and an Uncle in East Meadow in Nassau county. We're staying overnight so we're making a weekend out of it visiting family that is still there.

Yes, we will wait until spring or early summer we will be even closer than to our cruise :cool1: :cool1:

YES, I LOVE the "closer to our cruise" part. We will do it then.

[EllaEnchanted]

OMG NO WAY!!!! That would be an INCREDIBLE sight to see. As long as I was within safe distance, I would enjoy it. If I was too close and they were hungry or unhappy that day, I would be running.:eek: :eek: :eek:

My late uncle used to live around the corner from his daughter(my cousin) in Palmetto and he used to have one that would come out of the pond once in a while and sun himself on a big boulder behind his house needless to say he had a big fence put up :laughing: :laughing:

I'm going to have to take a drive by that area the next time I'm in FL. I would LOVE to see that.....from a safe distance.

We've been on a little pond in our home for three years, and thankfully I have yet to see a gator. I have seen an otter though. And lots of turtles.

I would LOVE to see some turtles in the ponds. Could you take some pictures some time and post on here? I'm a turtle lover. I collect them and have hundreds, literally, all over my house. I also have six live ones in tanks. I'm a little obsessed with them. But I adore them.

[granmaz]

Deb,l did you know there are turtles in the 'canal' at the back of the Beach Club Villas?

You can drive to their car park(not the BC, but the DVC BCV) and walk the short distance to the pool. You can see the turtles there.

[EllaEnchanted]

Nope.....I had no idea there were turtles in WDW anywhere. The next time I am down there I will be on a mission to find them. Thanks for the info Marilyn.

We'll probably go down in Spring around the end of April.....that's the anniversary of our first date. So we have an anniversary in Spring and in Fall. We usually try to do WDW for one and DCL/WDW for the other. So I will be looking for them now that I know.

I didn't think she went for a few weeks yet as her few days at Vero Beach was at the end weren't they, and those are just before we arrive in 5 weeks.

[EllaEnchanted]

OK, ressies made. We're staying at Staybridge Suites right across the street from DTD. I have us arriving on Tues April 28th staying for 6 nights and leaving on Mon May 4th.

That should be a nice little vacation for us. We'll definitely have time for tea Marilyn.

We're at Saratoga Springs for our first week. I might be able to wave to you.:thumbsup2 :lmao:

[EllaEnchanted]

It's done! Now I just have to book the car rental and voila....we're so there!



I didn't think she went for a few weeks yet as her few days at Vero Beach was at the end weren't they, and those are just before we arrive in 5 weeks.


For some unknown reason I'm thinking that Vero Beach was for thanksgiving. I could have made that up though. I'm not sure why I'm thinking that.

I know that she will be seeing you soon.

[EllaEnchanted]

:lmao: :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

You didn't need much encouragement did you!!!:rotfl2:


I knew we would be going away at that time of the year anyway.

Opps I think I vaguely remember John saying something like going away to Delaware at that time of the year. Oh well....Florida is so much warmer and the Mouse is there and since you and John will be there.....how could we NOT go to Orlando.

[EllaEnchanted]

We're at Saratoga Springs for our first week. I might be able to wave to you.:thumbsup2 :lmao:


How long will you be staying?


We'll put a flag up so you can find us and wave!!!:laughing: :laughing:

I think that is Thanksgiving. Maybe you are correct then Deb, and she has gone without saying cheerio!!! She must have gone yesterday or today then with her seeing Karen on Wednesday.




How long will you be staying?


We'll put a flag up so you can find us and wave!!!:laughing: :laughing:

I think we have 8 or 9 nights there and then 7 at the BCV! We then have 3 nights up at St Augustine, and then finally back for 3 weeks at the villa where Carolyn and family are joining us. Really looking forward to it. We are going to have some days out during the first 2 weeks, looking at some places close to Orlando so that should be interesting and a change.

[granmaz]

I just did a search, and on 16th October Monica said it was 23 days till she set off. I can't be bothered to work it out, but at least it means she hasn't gone yet!!!:lmao:

[EllaEnchanted]

I just booked our convertible car rental....John loves driving with the top down.....so now we're all set and ready to go. We'll sleep overnight on the way down and on the way back wherever John gets sleepy.....somewhere around North and South Carolinas.

[EllaEnchanted]

Well that makes it the 8th of Nov so we have plenty of time before she leaves. That would make sense that Vero Beach is at the end of it because it would put it around Thanksgiving. So we were both correct, we just had the leaving date wrong. Well at least we know she didn't leave without saying Cheerio!:cutie:

[UKANGEL]

sounds like you're all having fun making plans!:cool1:

Just popped in to say 'hi' and to wish you all a Happy Weekend. It's Mark's birthday today so we've had a lovely day out shopping and great lunch in Reading, by the riverside:woohoo:

I think he's had a good day, though we did say reminisce that this time alst year we were in Florida celebrating at the The Hard Rock:rolleyes1

Have fun!:wizard:

[granmaz]

It is a great time to go isn't it. Flower and Garden at Epcot, not too scorching or humid.

I will have happy and sad memories on the anniversary of the start of our last cruise though.

You'll be vacationing for about six weeks in Orlando. That's going to be so sweet. You will be well rested and ready for Carolyn and family to come and visit. It will be so great to get away for so long.

[UKANGEL]

Happy Birthday Mark!:dance3: Glad you had a nice day Mandy. Are you feeling better?


Thanks Maz.

A little, but have to to the hospital on Monday for some further tests and a scan so not looking forward to that :sad2:

I know and I have John to thank for that!!! Oh, and being old and just about retired of course, and having the time. It is really our 40th wedding anniversary trip, and started off going to be a motoring holiday in the west, visiting LA, SF,etc etc. Then we booked the QM2 and added a few weeks to drive up from Orlando to NY. Then, when Carolyn mentioned going to Orlando, we jumped at the chance to be with them, so kept the long vacation.

Thanks Maz.

A little, but have to to the hospital on Monday for some further tests and a scan so not looking forward to that :sad2:

Oh, I hope it isn't anything serious Mandy. I was expecting you to say you had flu or something and were feeling better.:hug:

Yes, it is perfect at that time of the year isn't it. We will certainly enjoy it.

I will have happy and sad memories on the anniversary of the start of our last cruise though.


I'm happy that our thread is still going but I'm sad that so many people are moving on to other threads and other meets because they're moving on and the family of Thieves are leaving the nest.

I seem to be going through a lot of "empty nest syndrome" lately. Oh well, I'll get used to the differences and learn to adapt. Of course as soon as I get used to it and I like it, someone will be asking to move back in with us again. It happened to us before. It will probably happen again.

[EllaEnchanted]

Thanks Maz.

A little, but have to to the hospital on Monday for some further tests and a scan so not looking forward to that :sad2:


Don't you just HATE medical procedures and tests and doctors! It's the worst possible thing.

I have found it really hard Deb. We sailed together, made some good friends, and then they don't post. So strange. I feel sad when I see them chatting on other threads(like we are doing here as it happens!!!:lmao: ).

Yes, you might well have someone to stay again, and that is a testimony to how welcoming you have been in the past!

Hi! I am trying to catch up to you guys - just wanted to say I lived on Long Island for 5 years! I lived in Westbury, Lindenhurst, Wantagh... where else? I think that's it. I worked a ranch off Valentine Lane and loved riding the horses in the fall... I had a LOT of fun those years... love going upstate to the beatiful mountains. Love walking the beach (Jones) in November when NO one else was there... thanks for the walk down memory lane.
E-mailed Monica and told her to CHECK IN! :lmao: :lmao:

Sister... when I asked how it was going last night - you didn't mention the cheating that has taken place... naughty naughty - but WAY to go on the 7 lb loss so far!:dance3:

P.S. You were RIGHT (naturally) we go to TORTOLA FIRST. I'm a little sad about that... but I'll get over it.


GOOD MORNING ARIZONA!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MARK!!!! It sounds like you had a lovely day together.

So I woke up this morning thinking about Cadbury chocolate (NOT a good start to the weekend for a dieter). And now I'm wondering...do they have British Cadbury chocolates in Tortola?????

I also realized, now that the weather is cooling, I could receive Cadbury chocolates via the mail without them melting AND it's my birthday in two weeks.....:rolleyes1 I'm just saying......



Ya know, it's funny that you mentioned that because I was just thinking last night as I was looking at Disney jewelry on the QVC site......well it's my birthday in three weeks so.......I'll just have to order something and when it comes in, give it to John to wrap for me. Ha Ha Ha! Great minds think alike!:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[UKANGEL]

Well, hope you're all having fun today:)

We're having my sister and her dh over to dinner tonight. We've been saying for ages we'd do Barcelona together and haven't got round to it.....so we're having a Spanish night instead :banana: We'll bring Barcelona to us! Mark's making a lovely seafood paella, we have some tapas to start, and I've made a ginger, orange and Grand Marnier dessert (sort of Spanish):cool1:

we've even sorted some Spanish music for the Ipod:thumbsup2

Best go and sort the table now.....:woohoo:

[EllaEnchanted]

Jackie, you must get those thoughts out of your mind!!!:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Yea, and I keep waiting for the Godiva that I ordered to come in.....but it's my birthday in three weeks!!!:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi! I am trying to catch up to you guys - just wanted to say I lived on Long Island for 5 years! I lived in Westbury, Lindenhurst, Wantagh... where else? I think that's it. I worked a ranch off Valentine Lane and loved riding the horses in the fall... I had a LOT of fun those years... love going upstate to the beatiful mountains. Love walking the beach (Jones) in November when NO one else was there... thanks for the walk down memory lane.

I have pictures of me sleeping on a blanket sucking my thumb when I was very little on Jones beach. I grew up there as a young kid before we moved out East on Long Island when I was about 7 years old.

How did you make it from Chicago to Long Island to Arizona, Peg???? You were doing some travelling.

:confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3 :confused3

[EllaEnchanted]

Thanks Deb it was lovely. We met at Planet Hollywood I beleive, at DTD didn't we? It was one of our last days. We'd stayed at HRH the week before when it was Mark's birthday...it's our fave hotel:cool1:

YES we DID, now I remember.....it was Planet Hollywood.....you did Mark's birthday at the Hard Rock Hotel. I'm going to have to stop in there for drinks next April. I'll check it out because I have never been. But if you liked it, then I will too.


Oh you and me both with the empty nest syndrome! I could always move in for a while if you like Deb!:thumbsup2 :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

I know, we could both move into the house that's for sale next to Monica and live 20 minutes from the mouse. Perfect!


Thank you...and yes I DO hate them, especially the ones for 'girlie' problems!!!!:sad2:

May they go away quickly and be painless. I'll be thinking about you on Monday.

[EllaEnchanted]

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :worship: :worship:

Well John and me did our weekend morning chit chat over many cups of coffee and he knows all about the vacation in April 09. He totally agreed and didn't argue a bit. He's a mouse lover too. Thank all goodness that we both feel the same way about Mickey.

So, one of my errands today was to the watch repair shop to have some batteries put into a couple of watches...and what did I do? I bought a new Mickey Mouse watch! It's very cool and was only $30, so its part of my birthday present to myself. The band is Mickey heads, alternating gold and a pewter/silver color. Watch face is a pale brushed pewter with gold Mickey, dots for the numbers and the hands. Oh, and between each link is a small round rhinestone. It was a choice between that one and a Tink one with a lime green band.

Had a lovely lunch with Peg too!

NOW, I want a nap. :lmao:

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Well, it's not like I'll NEVER have chocolate again. And, unlike fried chicken or pizza I tend to have better portion control with chocloate. I can also rationalize that dark chocolate is medicinal! :rotfl: As wall as the glass of Rosa Regale I would drink with it! :rotfl:

I have absolutely not control over chocolate!!!:rotfl2: None whatsoever.:confused3 :lmao:

Dark chocolate is the best for you - 70% cocoa solids minimum. Cadbury's I bet has only a few cocoa solids!!! :eek: Still my favourite though.

I'm thinking Rosa Regalw would taste better with dark chocolate.

[ibouncetoo]

I'm thinking Rosa Regale would taste better with dark chocolate.

And you'd be thinking correctly! :thumbsup2 Oh, and some strawberries.........

Just checked. Cadbury's milk chocolate had 20% cocoa solids! Not good for us then.:confused3 ;)

[TiggersPal]

Well, Jackie and I did walk 1 hour inside the mall yesterday!!! I had to drag her there, but she did it. (ok, slight drama - no kicking and screaming).

BUT - we did have a lovely lunch until I HAD to try the lemonchello dessert at Cheesecake factory. BY THE WAY...THE BEST!!! Yes, it was. YUM. And I DID hear Jackie say "better than any chocolate dessert". So true.

Anyway, I wish I were cruising instead of paying bills...:surfweb: HAPPY SUNDAY TO ALL!:cloud9:

Hi Marilyn! Do you have snow today up there? I hear it's snowing in a lot of places in the North today. Its been really sunny here but we've not got a horrible hail storm. (I sound like a weather girl):confused3 Don't get too cold!

[rotary2808]

It's cold here. 52 for the high today. I'm not ready for winter yet.:lmao:

It is a beautiful day here, but freezing. It felt like snow.

I think it is the south Midlands whio are getting snow.

[EllaEnchanted]

Good Morning Angel, Emily and Marilyn.

It feels like snow in the air. It's dark and cold and damp outside. I'm waiting for something to fall from the sky. I want to go turn my heat up, but my kittie, Ella, is sleeping under the blanket that I have over my lap as I sit and type. I don't want to get up because I'll disturb her, but it's way too cold now. I need the heat up. The blanket is not enough anymore.

[granmaz]

Deb, Ella is a cat! She will soon get warm and cosy again. It will take you longer.

[rotary2808]

Snow is getting to be a rarity around here. Maybe a dusting once a year, but more than that is a fluke. Cold without snow is just pointless. Put me on a beach somewhere.:cloud9:

[EllaEnchanted]

For all the Champagne Girls out there.....I was just pink tiara surfing and came up with a few. Let's see which one you all like best.


We can always order the same ones that we had last time. They were very nice for a good price. Here's a refresher of what they look like.


http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t310/EllaEnchanted00/415Y9O85HEL__SL500_AA280_.jpg


Or try some other types.

Or go for something with a little pink fuzzy fake fur. I like some of these and would tend to go for this type first. Naturally, in the pink color!!!

Deb, Ella is a cat! She will soon get warm and cosy again. It will take you longer.


YES she is a cat. Isn't that funny how we put pets before ourselves!?! People are strange. I still didn't get up yet. My nose is cold. But Ella is as warm as toast and so happy and cozy and cute.

I know, she's a cat!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[granmaz]

Those are all very cute, but I agree the last one is the favourite.

[EllaEnchanted]

I can't believe it's so cold in Alabama today Emily. You're located in the South. The South is hot!

I agree with your sentiments completely though, Sun and Surf is where I'd rather be.:cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

[EllaEnchanted]

Those are all very cute, but I agree the last one is the favourite.


YEAHHHHHHH That's 2 vs. nothing else yet. They are available and they are a good price too. I will pick them up like I did the last time. I'll order 50 which is what I got last time. We had a large group and there were some leftover. I can always hand out the leftovers to the little girls again. So I should probably order 50 again.

Not that south though. N. Alabama gets pretty chilly in the winter.

I forget that Alabama is a long state north to south. I keep thinking that it's on the gulf so it's hot.....well a little bit of it is. I forget how far north it is. I imagine that it does get cold then.

I know, she's a cat!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

:rolleyes1 lol Deb, sitting here with Bob (our cat in case you wondered:thumbsup2 ) all curled up to me thinking I really must go and turn that heating up......we're just too alike aren't we?!:goodvibes

[rotary2808]

I forget that Alabama is a long state north to south. I keep thinking that it's on the gulf so it's hot.....well a little bit of it is. I forget how far north it is. I imagine that it does get cold then.

We're in a valley too, so that makes it even worse.

[EllaEnchanted]

I'm with you and Maz on the tiara choice Deb:woohoo:


YEAHHHHH That's 3 for the same one. The poll is still open.....all the champagne girls should vote.



:rolleyes1 lol Deb, sitting here with Bob (our cat in case you wondered:thumbsup2 ) all curled up to me thinking I really must go and turn that heating up......we're just too alike aren't we?!:goodvibes


Well after a long period of time, I did get up because I had to run to the bathroom. Then I put the heat up and had some lunch. So I disturbed her and she ran around the house and the dog, Angel, chased her. Now that I have settled down again, Ella is by my side all curled up on the couch sleeping. I don't have the blanket on so she can't curl up on it or under it. The dog Angel is laying on the floor in front of me rolling around on her back and looking silly.

I love having my pets to keep me company everyday. We are so very alike Angel....we're having the same weather today too.

How ARE YOU??? Yesterday was your medical procedure. How do you feel??? Did it go well???? I did think of you yesterday during the day. I hope all is good now.

[UKANGEL]

Thanks Deb, it was uncomfortable and horrid but its done now and they didn't find any abnormalities which is good of course, but means I now have to have more tests :sad2: I have to wait another week for some other results to come back so :rolleyes1 til then I guess...


Anyway, just spoken to Becky, who has a nasty cold, is still trying to sort out her phone after dropping it down the loo....and has just had a major row with her boyfriend....:rolleyes1 It's hard only being able to cyber hug!:guilty:


I need cheering up I think!:hug:

Chocolate covered strawberries with champagne while taking a bubble bath. It sounds good to me.

I'm glad there were no problems but something needs to be found so that it can get fixed. Let's hope it's minor and they find it soon.

Hugs to you and Becky today!!!:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

me and John
Kathe (who I know is not cancelling)
Marilyn (who might cancel the second week)
Jackie (did you cancel the 2nd week already)

OH NO!!!! How appropriate for Becky though. Yes, Angel, you MUST warn her.

OMG Maz........

"He came out on a stretcher, with his hand still jammed in the toilet bowl, which they had to saw clean off," said Benoit Gigou, a witness to the man's plight.

That is SO funny! I assume they mean the bowl was sawn off, NOT his arm!!!!!:rotfl2: :rotfl2: Will let Becky know so she doesn't try this on a train! Thanks for that laugh!:thumbsup2 :rotfl: :rotfl:


Deb, did you forget Peg in your roll call or did I miss her name...I'll just check again......:rolleyes1



I went back to the gym today (such a good girl) and had a fab swim. I was the only one in the adult pool so I pretended I was swimming at Castaway Cay....*sigh* I wish!:rolleyes1

Jackie was never booked on the B2B (nor Peg)
Cheri IS booked on the B2B
Ian & Sukie did not book the B2B (they may be doing WDW before)

those are the ones I know about for sure.


I'm still holding two reservations for 2010 (Baltic and WBTA). Baltic will most likely be switched to another cruise line if we can get a much more attractive rate. And we WILL be sharing that information with everyone in an attempt to have a DIS meet on RCL (or whoever). :lmao: A campaign was launched to sway Monica from Baltic to EBTA, but she's not going for it...the Baltic ports are her heart's desire. Peg is now booked on the WBTA. I may have some hard decisions to make, but will wait till after THIS cruise before making them. I'm sure $$ will be the deciding factor.

YIKES....time to hit the shower.

Thanks Jackie......so that's us, Kathe, Cheri and maybe Marilyn that are doing the B2B. That's what I wanted to know. Just in case I have to cancel the second week too.

Fortunately my 2010 cruise, although a huge amount of money for me to spend on a cruise, is not until one year and three months after this one. So I'll have time to pay off the B2B and then start on the Christmas one.....or so I'm thinking.....more like really really hoping. I budged out the amount that I would have to pay each month starting in January 09. So that's what I'll work on doing and we'll see how much life gets in the way.

Hi peeps! :wave: I'm back from a fah-bu-lous Halloweeny week in the World with my boys! We had the best time AND I got to meet the lovely Monica over a lush Beaches and Cream confection (photos to follow)... :hug:

OMG, Deb - WDW at this time of year is fab, dontcha think???! Love, love, love the Food & Wine Festival and I had an awesome time wandering around the World Showcase sampling the goodies... Meeting Monica was a high point. I was nervous - it was my first DISmeet and I feel I lucked out. She was so engaging and such a lovely lady - can't wait to hook up with her again ASAP... :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

WAY TO GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tink rules]

For all the Champagne Girls out there.....I was just pink tiara surfing and came up with a few. Let's see which one you all like best.


We can always order the same ones that we had last time. They were very nice for a good price. Here's a refresher of what they look like.


http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t310/EllaEnchanted00/415Y9O85HEL__SL500_AA280_.jpg


Or try some other types.

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t310/EllaEnchanted00/yhst-23627653430323_2025_7232184.gif


Or go for something with a little pink fuzzy fake fur. I like some of these and would tend to go for this type first. Naturally, in the pink color!!!

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t310/EllaEnchanted00/41xJshGc0IL__SL500_AA280_.jpg


I think this one looks like our last one but it has the pink fur. I think this would be my first choice.


http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t310/EllaEnchanted00/CEG201751-2T.jpg





I like the last one... It's like adding some pink Royal fur to my last one... ;)

I had dinner with a Tortolian Dudette......neener, neener, neener

Cheri says "Hi" to the gang. She goes on her big WDW/Wonder/WDW adventure in just a tad over four weeks and is very excited about it! ::yes::

Talked to big sister this weekend and answered more cruise questions for her. She's contemplating the dolphin encounter in Tortola...I'm encouraging her..I loved doing it. Don't think I can get her to parasail on CC though. :sad2:


HEY....will we have to do the crack of dawn immagration thing in St Thomas??

Hi Jackie and Hi to Cheri when you speak with her again too.

Why will we have to do the crack of dawn immagration thing in St Thomas? We don't do it at every port. I haven't done it in a while. Is it just that we do it in St. Thomas? I forget.:confused3

[ibouncetoo]

I think we have to in St Thomas, because we arrive there from a foriegn port. Tortola being British Virgin Islands and St. Thomas U.S. I wonder why they didn't do the ports in the reverse order? Ah well, that would be a good day for Pajama breakfast in Lumineres! :thumbsup2

Thanks for the heads up.....early morning room service coffee.....breakfast afterwards in Lumineres......sounds like a plan. Thanks Jackie.:goodvibes

[ibouncetoo]

Well, provided there are no crack of dawn excursions booked. I'm betting Dianne will want to shop or maybe do Coral World. Betting Peg and Paul will do some outrageous water adventure (heaven knows where their significant others will end up) :lmao:

We are scheduled to arrive at 8AM...maybe the immigration thing won't start till then. Or maybe the feds come out and meet the ship earlier??

ANYBODY KNOW?

Where are all the rest of the Tortolians anyway? :confused3

Tell her to pop in occasionally. We want to try and meet up in December.

I am getting terribly confused between cruise threads.

[ibouncetoo]

I am getting terribly confused between cruise threads.

Here's my (just created) theory. 50% of your DISing time/energy should go to the cruise that's coming up next. 25% to visiting with pals on your old thread(s) and 25% on cruises farther off in the future. Isn't it a blessing that we have more than one to look forward to! :cloud9:

[TiggersPal]

I'm booked on this cruise and the western right after it. I know a lot of my PC cruising buddies are on this one and some of them booked a B2B too. Can I get a roll call of everyone currently booked on this and the western B2B? Thanks.

me and John
Kathe (who I know is not cancelling)
Marilyn (who might cancel the second week)
Jackie (did you cancel the 2nd week already)
Monica (already cancelled the 2nd week)
Ian and Sukie (did you ever book the second week)
Jan (don't know)
Woody (don't know)
Cheri (don't know)
Connie (don't know)
Mandy (only booked this week)
Anyone else I forgot


Is this a list for B2B? Or a list for WB? I'm on WB but NOT b2b... IS Now here is a question for you... Is the WB part of a b2b? CHERI please check in, I need to know if you can dog sit for me while I"m on WB!!!!!
OMG Maz........

"He came out on a stretcher, with his hand still jammed in the toilet bowl, which they had to saw clean off," said Benoit Gigou, a witness to the man's plight.

That is SO funny! I assume they mean the bowl was sawn off, NOT his arm!!!!!:rotfl2: :rotfl2: Will let Becky know so she doesn't try this on a train! Thanks for that laugh!:thumbsup2 :rotfl: :rotfl:


Deb, did you forget Peg in your roll call or did I miss her name...I'll just check again......:rolleyes1



I went back to the gym today (such a good girl) and had a fab swim. I was the only one in the adult pool so I pretended I was swimming at Castaway Cay....*sigh* I wish!:rolleyes1
Thanks for worrying about me!!! Also, WAY 2 GO GIRL!!!! Wish I could get back to the gym. I GUESS I could be there NOW instead of on the DIS... :rolleyes1

Tell her to pop in occasionally. We want to try and meet up in December. Peg won't be pleased at you calling her Betting Peg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lmao:
YEAH! Seriously, I have enough nicknames! :scared1: But you are right, I'll most likely be off doing adventurous type dealo's with my BRO!!!!

[ibouncetoo]

Peg, a B2B is two consecutive cruises on the same ship. Several of our Tortolian pals are staying on the Magic to do the Western Caribbean cruise that follows ours.

SOME people (Tammy and our Mexico friends) are doing a B2B2B. A Med cruise, Barcelona to Dover, and the first Baltic in 2010. :scared1:

[TiggersPal]

I know what a back to back is... what I didn't know was whether that roll call INCLUDING our wb... or ANY b2b. :lmao:

I wouldn't think it would start until then since they couldn't get a customs agent onto the ship until they actually get there. The only bad thing about that is nobody can leave the ship until everyone clears customs. I think they normally have at least two agents on each side of the Walt Disney Theater clearing people.

Well, that would be nice not to have to get up at the crack of dawn! I guess we'll know for sure in April when the first cruise to Tortola heads out. ::yes::

Thanks Kaz, I love that you added the text so I stole it to add to my signature too. Good Thinking!!!

I think it's unanimous that we have found our tiaras. I'll order them now so we definitely get them. Thanks for participating everyone.

I also don't think we'll change them every cruise. I think we'll make them our official tiaras for the champagne girls. I better buy a lot to have on hand.

Hi Peg.....I think you might have the 2009 and the 2010 cruises mixed up. This one is the 09 Eastern with a B2B Western for some. That's what that list was for.

I think you need Cheri to dogsit for you on your 2010 Western TA. The list above has nothing to do with that cruise.

Is that what you meant when you asked? I hope I helped. If not, ask again.

[Tink rules]

Thanks for the heads up.....early morning room service coffee.....breakfast afterwards in Lumineres......sounds like a plan. Thanks Jackie.:goodvibes

I'm gonna go crawl back under the covers when I'm done... I hope you all don't mind but I'm coming as I am that morning...:scared: (If I book the cruise that is...;) ;) ;) )

I was hoping to win the lottery... do the EB, the first Med and then come back for one of the Baltics... I have to be in TX in between for Brian's graduation...

Hi everyone,
I have been missing in action this summer. For those of you who remember me from the WB PC cruise, I have been in therapy for my wrist all summer:sad2: , and although I have a ways to go, it is getting better.:yay: :yay: I have missed the Dis boards, but hopefully I am going back to the part in this thread where I left off way back in June or July, and read all the post---or at least I want too. If anyone could catch me up as far as group plans, I would appreciate it. Just the condensed version--I know that's asking a lot. I am REALLY looking forward to this trip for 14 days:banana: -I didn't get to enjoy a lot of the latter part of the PC cruise, so I can't wait for this one. We are also booked on the 12 night Baltic cruise on July 6th, 2010-anyone else from here on that cruise? I need to go to that cruise meets board also. That cruise is causing some "price panic", :eek: but we have a long time to save up. I guess I have gone on long enough for now, but hope to be back on the boards now...Vicki

Hi Vicki, I was just thinking about you the other day....wondering how you were recovering. Thanks for checking in and letting us know about your progress. WOW it really is a long haul for you. At least it's steady and moving in the right direction.

The only thing we have planned so far is the Champagne Girls tasting. Same deal as last time if you're interested.

Some of us are doing the B2B with the Western after this week. Some have cancelled the second week because of their 2010 bookings. How about you? Are you planning to do the B2B Western after this cruise?

How is the jewelry making going? I love your pieces. It's good to see you back on here with us again. Looking forward to seeing you join in some more.

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi All you Champagne Girls.....just wanted to let you know that our tiaras have been ordered. I'm so excited and can't wait to see them up close and personal. They came 6 to a bag so I got 8 bags for a total of 48 tiaras. That will be well more than we need, I'm sure. Now I'm ready for this cruise to get here. Hurry Up.....Let's Go!!! We have our tiaras, we'll get the champagne onboard.....I'm ready, who else is?:cloud9:

Venue: Beaches & Cream.

I ate this - a 'No Way Jose'!

Thank you - they are rather lovely chaps if I do say so myself... :goodvibes Yes, I try and fly UC as much as funds/points allow - buying into DVC has made a huge difference on that score as previously we used to spend a fortune on family hols and just fly PE! Now I hunt around for the more reasonable UC fares and more often than not get them...;) Enjoy your flight!!! :flower3:

...How do you rate Cape May breakfast? My fave is the one at Ohanas but this comes a reasonable 2nd. We've been twice - I really enjoy the character interaction plus the brekkie pizza and cinnabon-esque bread n butter pud are delicious!!! :cloud9:

Thank you - they are rather lovely chaps if I do say so myself... :goodvibes Yes, I try and fly UC as much as funds/points allow - buying into DVC has made a huge difference on that score as previously we used to spend a fortune on family hols and just fly PE! Now I hunt around for the more reasonable UC fares and more often than not get them...;) Enjoy your flight!!! :flower3:

My fave is the one at Ohanas but this comes a reasonable 2nd. We've been twice - I really enjoy the character interaction plus the brekkie pizza and cinnabon-esque bread n butter pud are delicious!!! :cloud9:

I fear we might not be able to continue flying UC, but I usually say we are only paying for us these days, and we don't spend as much as a family going on holiday and that makes me feel better. PE was very good though and we might fly that class next September. We are in UC in April-June though!

I am trying to work out which character meals to book for when our grandkids are with us next may. CP is a must as long as they haven't taken away the characters by then. I was thinking Tusker House too as we have 2 boys 9 & 11 with us as well as the 7 years old girls, but have been reading the characters are just rushing through!! As the kids like all different things I was thinking buffets would be a better bet than Ohana or else that would have been a great choice.

Hi everyone,
I have been missing in action this summer. For those of you who remember me from the WB PC cruise, I have been in therapy for my wrist all summer:sad2: , and although I have a ways to go, it is getting better.:yay: :yay: I have missed the Dis boards, but hopefully I am going back to the part in this thread where I left off way back in June or July, and read all the post---or at least I want too. If anyone could catch me up as far as group plans, I would appreciate it. Just the condensed version--I know that's asking a lot. I am REALLY looking forward to this trip for 14 days:banana: -I didn't get to enjoy a lot of the latter part of the PC cruise, so I can't wait for this one. We are also booked on the 12 night Baltic cruise on July 6th, 2010-anyone else from here on that cruise? I need to go to that cruise meets board also. That cruise is causing some "price panic", :eek: but we have a long time to save up. I guess I have gone on long enough for now, but hope to be back on the boards now...Vicki


We're in for the Capital City Cruise. You're right it is a looonnng way away.

IT'S MONICA'S BIRTHDAY ON MONDAY!!

Glad you liked it, Deb! :thumbsup2 It's amazing how the creative juices flow when you've got housework chores AND a 1500 word essay to write... ;) :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl:

:lmao: :lmao: SO TRUE! And love the photos!


MONICA's BIRTHDAY...not a secret....at least anymore :rotfl:

Vicki, glad to see you back on the boards and glad to hear the wrist is imporving. :hug:

Marilyn, you suggested a friend for me on Facebook and I've been wracking my brain trying to think who this person is....help!

I think I'll put together some more photos to send off to Chicago sister and Charlotte brother to taunt them more about this cruise. Don't know what 'theme' I should choose. Restaurants/Food? Spa/gym? Adult venues? Should I just do a 'walking' tour of embarkation day? Oh, and I could also do a 'people I know that you'll get to meet on the cruise' one. Decisions, decisions AND a good chore shirking project too!

I never liked my name, so when I went nurse training I changed to my middle name Ruth. John met me when I was Ruth and it took him ages to get used to calling me Marilyn, to which I reverted when out of that setting. On the rare occurance I come accross anybody from that era it is strange hearing them call me Ruth!

Hi Vicki, I was just thinking about you the other day....wondering how you were recovering. Thanks for checking in and letting us know about your progress. WOW it really is a long haul for you. At least it's steady and moving in the right direction.

The only thing we have planned so far is the Champagne Girls tasting. Same deal as last time if you're interested.

Some of us are doing the B2B with the Western after this week. Some have cancelled the second week because of their 2010 bookings. How about you? Are you planning to do the B2B Western after this cruise?

How is the jewelry making going? I love your pieces. It's good to see you back on here with us again. Looking forward to seeing you join in some more.

Thanks Deb,
I DO want to be in the Champagne tasting, I missed it last time and it looked like so much fun. We are still doing the B2B as planned right now, will see how things go-the Baltic trip really is steep!! I am still making jewelry, we have done a few craft shows, and actually done quite well, but it is just a hobby.

Hi Vicki. Glad to hear from you and that your wrist is improving. It has been a long job for you.

[/QUOTE Thanks,
It has been a LONG road, and still not finished. Since you asked in another post, and for those who weren't on the WBPC cruise---I broke my wrist (fractured/dislocated) and had to go to the hospital in Acapulco. We don't speak Spanish, and the hospital staff spoke VERY little English. They put me to sleep, reduced my wrist, and put a long arm cast on me. I had numerous problems with the cast during the remaining 5 days of the cruise, and therapy has been difficult since it was over 3 weeks from the time I broke my wrist until I had surgery, but hopefully I'm on the right track now.

E=CustardTart;28472629]Hi Vicki! :wave: I wasn't on the WB PC cruise BUT I'm so sorry to hear about the problem with your wrist... :hug: I hope it continues to improve... We're on the first Baltic of 2010 so not your one but it's definitely gonna be fab - it'd better be because of $$$!!! :rolleyes: Tortolly ;) looking forward to meeting you next September... :goodvibes
Best wishes,
Kaz...

Thanks Kaz,
I am looking forward to meeting everyone. We had so many great people on the PC trip, but I missed out on so many things. I hope to make up for it on this trip.

We are scheduled to arrive at 8AM...maybe the immigration thing won't start till then. Or maybe the feds come out and meet the ship earlier??
Last week on the Magic, we had a Customs & Border Protection inspection. Guests started assembling (by groups) in the Walt Disney Theatre as early as 8:45, which was before the 9:30 "ashore" time. All guests had to pass through Inspection by 10:45.

Woody

[woody73]

I'm still holding two reservations for 2010 (Baltic and WBTA). Baltic will most likely be switched to another cruise line if we can get a much more attractive rate. And we WILL be sharing that information with everyone in an attempt to have a DIS meet on RCL (or whoever).
We are very interested in doing this on another cruise line, especially if it's Royal Caribbean.

It's one of the 'contenders'. I think they did not have the port for Berlin on their 2009 itinerary, which Monica would like to see (but not mandatory), so it will be considered.

So, do you like RCL better than NCL, Celebrity or HAL? I took a look at the NCL and Celebrity ships that are going next year, still have to check out RCL and HAL (HAL is the bottom of the list as it will probably noe start and end at the same port...a strong negative in my book).

Hello all.

It has been quite some time since we have checked this thread. We got back a few weeks ago from aboard the Magic. We were on the Eastern that was interrupted due to Hurricane Omar. Didn't get to go to St Thomas - Nassau instead. We have been to St Thomas before, so it wasn't a HUGE disappointment. St Maarten was AWESOME - until part of Omar started it's downpour on us. Luckily we were close to the ship and ran on as fast as we could. Never, ever have we seen such a heavy rain. It was crazy, and came on just like someone turned on a light switch.

We are still booked for this cruise, but may switch to a week at Vero Beach in September or October if we can get a reservation. After three Disney cruises (one being the WBPC) in a 12 month span, we might need a break. Still excited for this cruise, just will wait to see for sure by March.

Had a great surprise last week as our youngest daughter was chosen as Student of the Month for October:

Will try to keep up now that things have calmed down.

We had to move this cruise to the Transatlantic in 2010. But we DID book the DVC members cruise! So I hope to see some of you at WDW this winter or next summer, look us up! :dance3::dance3::dance3::dance3::dance3:
