My Honey got the follow up!! At least my post made some sense! :cool1: :cool1:




My appointment is late!

[dobelover]

It is common procedure to search the items and/or bags that they cannot recognize items through the x-ray.

If you have a wad of items they can't recognize, they WILL search the bag and make sure they know what it is.



Darn, I guess the extra AA batteries I carry for DM should go in separate from the xmas lights.

[tinksdad]

Well, I got the reply!
Almost magically your post changed!!

Way to edit!!!!

[WDWLVR]

Yes but I saw the 9999999999 post :D

[dobelover]

Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For HH and His Honey? Now I can go back to checking in thru the day.

[Donalds_best_pal]

Dang it. Wasnt paying attention and kept refreshing the last page. Oh well, trying for 25000
Matt

[All_Ears]

Congrats Kevin!!

you're right about the gifts - I did have one gift to carry on, and wrapped it so pretty - if was a doll and didn't want is squished.............. the TSA person was nice and just had me unwrap the bottom so that they could look in the package from the bottom.

[seaulater]

Forgot to mention that I enjoyed the pics! Several teen girls around here will be quite jealous. Jamie is a cutie.

Thanks, she has alot of fun singing and dancing. I guess 10 hours of dance a week will do that to you!!

We wrappped our presents, but we are putting them in our checked luggage!

Linda

[DW4US]

I just received a call from Diana at Disney.

The Dolphins aren't available on Antiqua during our Cruise.



What do you mean they aren't available on Antiqua ---did you have it reserved already or were you wait listed???


A shared TOP!!!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

[PirateCutie05]

Do they still have the dolphin excursion on St. Maarten?! i signed up for that one!

Well, they are just going to have fun with all our Dis'ers luggage this week aren't they? Pirate costumes, packages, swords (plastic ones, but I bet they'll check them), handcuffs, lights, wreaths, over door hangars.

Oh my, it's gonna be a long checkin!!

Linda

[justmestace]

Stacey and Mark have been trying to sell some here on the boards. Maybe she can just buy one from them and *say* she built it!! ;)

A buyer??? Do I finally have a buyer???:rotfl: :rotfl:

[XSwitchfootloverX]

Darn it now Kristen's been on my PC! sorry Tinkfan here!

Hello everyone,

Quick check in. Just home from work. Why agian did I agree to work these three days??? I must be crazy.
Off to take Jason to an extra soccer practice this week ( just what I needed, but apparently the coach thinks so)
Will try to get more done this evening!

no snow here, but mighty cold!!

[justmestace]

Presents???? Are there supposed to BE presents? The cruise IS the present.


I am hoping that what xmascruise04 meant, was that the Dolphin Excursion is fully booked. Confirm, please?

Just ran in to grab some lunch, and I'm running back out again.
I can confirm that Linda's Jamie is truly darling....and a really really great kid!!
Great pics, Linda! Those blue eyes of hers are stunning!!

Took Jay's tux pants to my seamstress, god bless her. She said "No problem!"
So, I guess I am almost ready.
Heading back out. See you tonight!

Virgil.....I sent you an e-mail!

[PirateCutie05]

Presents???? Are there supposed to BE presents? The cruise IS the present.

That's what my parents are saying about the cruise. :earboy2: which is okay with me, it'll be the best Christmas ever and the best vacation ever!! as long as I get birthday presents...I'm happy. :Pinkbounc

[tkd lisa]

Here is the Link to TSA site (http://www.tsa.gov/public/interapp/editorial/editorial_1254.xml) for that tidbit of info, if it helps. We don't want our DIS friends to be surprised. :bitelip:
Darn it, my kids gifts are already wrapped and packed. Well, if they unwrap them, then they do. I'm not pulling them out now!

I'm on the phone with DCL right now --- Antiqua Dolphin Excursion is cancelled --- I'm just sick --- that was supposed to be our girls' big Christmas present -- I've been keeping it a secret all this time!!! So if you had it booked you need to call now -- they have a special one on St. Martin you can switch to. The only problem is it leaves at 10:45 am and it doesn't get back until 5:30. Makes it tight for Main dining and I guess no ornament exchange for us.

Has anyone heard anything about the Dolphin excursion on St. Martin? Is it any good???

[Donalds_best_pal]

Guess what! I emailed the DCL President to ask him about arranging special group things for us like private movie screening. I am anxiously awaiting his reply.

Matt

[Donalds_best_pal]

I think its time I take a break from the disboards. Not on purpose but I think I ticked some people off on the community board and made myself look like an idiot. Dont understand why people are so mean in some emaisl I have gotten from people on here and it seems like lately by posts are somwhat being ignored. I think its time I take a break.
See Everyone On the Cruise,

Hadn't thought about all that!! How funny!

Personally, I'm not taking anything more dangerous than my wit!!

We'll see you on the cruise!

Of course, we will be right behind you in check-in, so you can just blame it on the "OTHER SIDE OF THE FAMILY"

Somebody needs to tell Gus. That was a big part of his DD's trip, wasn't it? Is he still around, or did he already leave?

I have always been great at it and feel I am pretty tough. I just hate when people change things around and blow thiings out of proportion. I am not givin up on the forums now. Do you know how much money I have paid out!

[scuba.mom]

HINT TO MAKE YOUR LAST NIGHT EASIER

I know, who wants to think about the last night of the cruise already....

but I've done this in the past and it's so easy.

I pack return address labels so I can stick them on the luggage tags they give you for the last night.

That way all I need to fill out that night is our stateroom number and the number of bags we'll have (i.e. 1 of 45, 2 of 45..etc)

HTH.

Note to Self - Pack return address labels. :flower1:

[scuba.mom]

I'm editing the Teen post above to read "unwrapped presents". Kevin just called to inform me that wrapped presents are a no-no for security reasons. Adding to list: paper, tape, scissors. Oh joy.

.

Is that because of the airport? I have taken wrapped Christmas presents on board (packed in a suitcase) for the past two Christmases without any issues.

[djs113]

gus is still around but you need to PM him - he said he will not be able to check the boards this week - working 6 days straight, etcc...


want me to PM him?

Good advice, Kevin. Sometimes the biggest problem on these boards is that someone takes something out of context or doesn't understand the manner in which it was meant. The typed word is SOOOOO difficult to understand right now and lacks key elements of communication such as body language and facial language. For example, people probably can't tell from my posts that I'm a much bigger smart alek than I come across as on these forums!! ;) ;) ;)

Most times I have trouble heeding my own advice of "shut your mouth and drop it!" ;) ;) ;)

:earseek: cough, cough

[Donalds_best_pal]

Thanks for advice. I have been getting some pm's from people saying it was totally blown out of context and people were very rude to me. Not all but some. Its not worth trying to aruge because once they have there view it doesnt change. I am not ready to toss my forums down the toilet though because of this.

Matt

[goofydadeo]

Hey gang, just arrived this afternoon in Orlando. Am at WDW/Cornado Springs right now and the weather is pretty nice here... but the cold front is on the way with a high tomorrow only in the 50s. Oh well, we have a private party tomorrow night in Epcot and we're gonna get close to freezing here! Yikes! Can't imagine Epcot fireworks with near freezing temps! Things are not crowed at all here! The parking lot is almost empty so come on down there's plenty of room but bring your coats!

Cheers!

John

[scuba diver]

You gave a scare about the wrapped packages. Only the wine is traveling as a carryon.

I always carry on my wine and hope they make me open it.

Good. Keep up the hard work.

Shirts are $15, right?

What else do I owe ppl for???

Alright I am bringing it up again but have to get this out. I dont understand why people just keep on posting on my thread the rude remarks. Some are just out right mean. I dont understand. I said sorry a million times, I admitted I made mistakes(still belive original person over reacted) Why do people continue keep replying with rude things. I just hate letting it go, its like people talking behind your backing ruining your reputation.

Matt:sad:

[scuba diver]

I talked to GaRy today.

It looks like we are going to work out some diving before the cruise. Hopefully we will be able to make it to Blue Springs and see some manatees. It's sure is cold enough that they might be there.

Wished I could be there too. Say hi to the manatees for me, would ya?

One word "human nature." ;)

It's a lot easier to post bad things than find the good in ppl. Do this....Don't go back to the thread and read anything. Let it go. Even if you're curious. Let it go. These ppl don't know you, there was a big miscommunication...if you lay low things will blow over. If you go and post in response to their rudeness, it'll escalate and it could result in your getting banned. You don't want that.

A scripture I use with my kids OFTEN ...."overcome evil with good....by doing so you're heaping burning coals on that person's head" (paraphrased)

GREAT NEWS, MATT!!! We shared a TOP!!! Now there is a sparkle of goodness in your day!!!

[scuba diver]

gaRry won't mind the cold. He's from "cold country" you know...

The water will be 72 degrees. He has a 3 mill.

I hope he doesn't mind the cold.

Matt:

I saw your post over on the community board just before I left work today. I didn't open it because I sensed that it was going to get ugly. CB is a kind of unique area. About 3-4 months ago they closed the debate board, and a number of people who used to "debate" are now on the CB. Those people tend to shoot quickly, and then escalate anything that the OP says. There is also a strong tendency not to read anything that gets said in reply.

There were also a couple of teens that posted there for a while that stirred up some controversy, so you may be feeling a bit of that backlash.

Relax, take a deep breath, and remember that in 5 days you'll be on the Magic with a great group of DISers.

[Donalds_best_pal]

Thanks tkd lisa.

I tried to end it all on there and I finally have. I feel it was just blown way out of proportion. Then some of the comments people said even after I said sorry made me feel worse. One in particular was "nobody knows you to like you or dislike you anyways" "we could all tell you were 15 right away" Like you said people dont read the replies and just keep on attacking and going nuts. I wish it didnt have to turn into somthing like it did. First time this has ever happened to me on here. Hope my repuatation is still there, cant wait want until the cruise. Only 3 more days of finals! Talk to you later,

THE PIRATE PINS ARE HERE!!!

I'll have DD pack them up tonight as per everyone's orders and bring to the port with me!

They are great. They will be flashing everywhere out on the deck party! Can't wait to share them all!

Okay, I'm headed home, got some pirate work to do!

So let me get this straight. gaRry has 3 million dollars, but Kevin wants you to loan him 5 million. Wow I know scuba was expensive :D

[dobelover]

Did Gus get an email/pm about the dolphin swim?

[scuba diver]

Thursday Morning it will be in the low 40's. I can't believe I am going diving, at least the water will feel warm.

GaRy and I are meeting at Blue Springs Thursday morning at 8 am to dive. Arrive at 8, in at 9, out at 10, on the road by 11.

He will than head to Sanford Airport to pick up the family. He will be all nice and clean from the fresh spring water.

Unfortnately, I have to go back to the office to pay for the cruise.

[scuba diver]

You might want to loan him one of your beanies!! Keep that noggin warm, might help!

Either that or rent him a 5 mil wetsuit.

He came prepared with 2 hoods, gloves, and booties.

Just needs weights and tanks.

He is diving computer, no not a lap top, a wrist mount.

So let me get this straight. gaRry has 3 million dollars, but Kevin wants you to loan him 5 million. Wow I know scuba was expensive :D

But remember, we only do this for our children. We get no joy out of hauling all this gear, planning the trips, training. We get joy out of watching our children.

Alicia will want to see them, too, next summer.

[justmestace]

Finally got home, have had a chance to sit down and catch up. Just in time to put dinner on the table! :sad2:
I will be so glad to get on that plane! Don't know what I will do with four whole hours and nothing to do!!

I sent an e-mail to the Dolphin place. By the time I got home it was too late to call. In the past, they have answered e-mails at night...I hope so. I guess we'll just have to find a nice beach on Antigua! But I must say, I won't be too happy. Bummer.

I'll try e-mailing Gus. If I still have his e-mail address.

Going to check on dinner...back later.

[ohiominnie]

Guys, not a confession, but I want to ward off thoughts you may have....

This dog has been a KILLER on me. I am beat up....literally. It will look like Mike beats me (and, being a physician, he'd know not to beat me in places that show!) Anyway, my legs are covered with bruises. One about the size of my fist!! It's Maggie! Either that or I have a clotting disorder I didn't know about. She has been in the habit lately of retrieving her balls and hard rubber bumpers and then running at full speed into my legs!! I've learned to wait till the last second then side step to miss her, but she has gotten me good already. Then there is the nipping when she gets ornery. I've got bruises on my legs AND my arms from that! Add to that the scab on my hand where she took a chunk out of me.

So, when you see me, please don't think Mike beats me! It's this %#$@ dog!! By the time 10 days are up, I should be healed up completely!!

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

And then yesterday during Nick's play KT and I went to the animal shelter they have set up in the mall.....and she confessed she'd be willing to give up Maggie for a beagle. :rolleyes: Oh, how they must LOVE their dog!!!

:rotfl::rotfl:....... I mean - what - you've only seen it a gazillion times - right?



A gazillion and 4 times, to be exact. KT really needed to get away from there. She's SOOOOO sick of it. And tomorrow we HAVE to sit through it b/c our homeschool group is attending. Besides, I was backstage at the beginning of it and heard his first major goof up. I needed to get away....

He has two very similar lines....
His VERY first line is: Hello Eeyore, How are you??

One of his last lines is: Hello Eeyore, I see you've built yourself a house.

So...Apparently the actors were sitting around in the back before the second performance started and they were all joking about how they should just go in and do the last scene and be DONE WITH IT! They talked about it for about 5 minutes from what I heard. I heard Nick say (as his first line) Hello, Eeyore, I see you've built yourself a house!

So, they think, that subconsciously, Nick decided to go in and do the end of the show!! They all felt very bad that he goofed up....they figure had they not been talking about it, he'd have done it perfectly as always! :rolleyes:

I found out something interesting.....In the final scene, Nick hugs Pooh and the lights go down...then they come back up for the curtain call. Nick told us the other day that while the lights are off (don't worry, it's not bad) Pooh always says to him "great job, Nick." Isn't that sweet??

ALso found out that on one of the scenes, Rabbit is backstage and he holds his hand up so that as soon as Nick comes off stage he can high five him. And then, later, Nick is backstage and holds his hand up so that as soon as Rabbit comes off stage he can high five HIM! :)

I love that they've all taken Nick under their wing like this. :)

[ohiominnie]

I heard Nick say (as his first line) Hello, Eeyore, I see you've built yourself a house!


Actually, this isn't true. I heard him go in and say "hello, Eeyore, I see you've built yourself......Hello, Eeyore, how are you?" :rolleyes:

[ohiominnie]

Actually, this isn't true. I heard him go in and say "hello, Eeyore, I see you've built yourself......Hello, Eeyore, how are you?" :rolleyes:


But I did tell Mike this was better than him saying the wrong line, crying, wetting himself and running off the stage!!! :teleport:

[ohiominnie]

But I did tell Mike this was better than him saying the wrong line, crying, wetting himself and running off the stage!!! :teleport:


Of course, KT was very upset about the missed line. She now firmly believes that Nick has ruined her reputation at the Phoenix Theater and she'll have NO chance of ever getting a part!! :rolleyes:

Told you , it's our Schipperke all over again. We gave up after two years.

[tinksdad]

But remember, we only do this for our children. We get no joy out of hauling all this gear, planning the trips, training. We get joy out of watching our children.

The sacrafice we make for our children.

Yea, what HE said!!!! :cool1: :cool1:

[scuba diver]

And where will the children be while you and Garry are diving with the Manatees, hmmm?

Alicia will want to see them, too, next summer.

Sorry, but the manatees are only here during the winter. They migrate to the warm spring water during the winter. The rest of the year they are in the intercoastal, gulf, etc.

To dive with the manatee it needs to be during Jan & Feb. GaRy is lucky in that it has been cold. Hopefully it has been cold enough to force the manatee into the spring. If not, it is just a cold dive.

ha. and I just talked with Mike's nurse yesterday and told her this dog is going to drive me over the edge. she said "that's why i got rid of our puppy after a year."

:rolleyes:

I know a family who just recently put their daschound( darn spelling) up for adoption in rescue. He bit, snapped, snarled...... kids and adults.
I can't imagine he will get adopted.

[3timecruiser]

This may have already been answered here(if so, sorry for the duplication) but does anyone know or have a good guess as to the cost of the soda package for this cruise?

[MarkRG]

This may have already been answered here(if so, sorry for the duplication) but does anyone know or have a good guess as to the cost of the soda package for this cruise?
There is no more soda package.

There is a free soda station at the drink station on deck 9 and at Cookies BBQ on CC.

However, note that soda at bars is NOT free. Make sure the kids know this.

[dobelover]

I have been lucky with dogs. Jesse and Sam are my 4th and 5th dogs as an adult and they have all been even tempered and obedient. Well, maybe Sam can be a bit of a free spirit :rolleyes:

I'm sorry the puppy's being such a handful. Some can very well be. We had one that spent as long as possible in a playpen due to its obnoxiousness.

What kind is it again? I've forgotten.

[ohiominnie]

She's a flat coated retriever. Retrievers tend to be a bit high strung anyway (edited to add "as puppies") But also she's still fighting for dominance--remember, she was dominant pup in the litter. Mike has more control over her. She doesn't bite him as much and is much more calm and loving around him. Around me she gets all worked up and crazed. I guess I bring out the worst in her! :rolleyes:

[dobelover]

nite everyone

[MarkRG]

I have one comment, try to be as gruff as possible, they can sense you being soft on them and will get rambunctious very quickly. They make 2 year old kids look patient.

[3timecruiser]

When did they start the free soda station? Its a great idea but we were on the 1/24/04 cruise and it was still the package? Why would anyone buy a soda at the bar then?

Gosh, I want to say I first heard about it around April. I believe our May cruise had free soda, but honestly, I don't remember b/c I don't drink that much of it. Hmmm...

Someone would buy a soda at the bar if say, they were watching a show in one of the lounges (Diversions--deck 3, forward, for example) and they didn't want to schlep all the way up to the free drink station (deck 9, aft)

It'd be purely a convenience thing.

Dang Doc beat me to it. I was playing around on that site. Decent music, lots of lead guitar, good rhythm, the usual teen angst lyrics. Glad to see that hasn't changed since I was there. :)

[3timecruiser]

That makes sense. It would be quite a distance from the theatre. Have you heard anything about special surprises for this cruise? Debbie mentioned there would be some but wouldn't go any further.

[DisneyPinDiva]

UNTIL YOU ARE AT THE PORT AND THEY SAY.........WHY THE ********** DOES THIS GUY HAVE 26 BOTTLES OF WINE AND WHY ARE HIS MINOR CHILDREN BACKPACKING IT IN FOR HIM?

Of course, we will be right behind you in check-in, so you can just blame it on the "OTHER SIDE OF THE FAMILY" :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Did not realize it but we have 20 bottles.... we had just kept putting them in a carton and finally counted....LOL Can I borrow someone's kids?? :rolleyes:

[MarkRG]

That makes sense. It would be quite a distance from the theatre. Have you heard anything about special surprises for this cruise? Debbie mentioned there would be some but wouldn't go any further.The only things that have been heard from enough places to call them 'confirmed'

- Nobody's seen the real pirate nite fireworks show yet. The first real run willl be on our cruise. The ones up till now have been trials.

- There will be a stage show one of the nights of the Night Before Christmas. It might be the one they run in the Magic Kingdom during the Verry Merry Christmas nights, but no confirmation on that.

Other than that, nothing but hints.

Now I'm making up for lost time wiht the top thing.. Shared with 3timecruiser :)


TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!
That makes Top #35!!

Yeah, a wine party in sessions, a group photo in the atrium, an ornament exchange, snorkeling lessons, scrapbooking lessons and freebies, a book exchange, a TAG You're it game, ladies night out, men's night at Ladder 49, a magnetic sign tour, ....

oh...you mean ones that DISNEY will have...

oh...no. haven't heard. I just hope they don't go scheduling anything during times we already have blocked out!!!!

[WVMD]

OM - only 92 posts to 4000 for you... You've got a couple of days to knock those out......

92!! (well, 91 after this one)
Wow. That'd be a challenge. I'm supposed to be packing now. Not a lick packed. We decided tomorrow would be the major packing day. Tomorrow afternoon. After Mike gets home from having the car serviced. So about 3:30. HA. Think we can get it all packed in an evening?

B/c Wednesday is Nick's final performance, then a pizza party, then home to clean, then my parents will get here, then we'll go to bed early so we can leave at 5:00 a.m. the next day.

My 4000th post should be something profound. It's a big milestone. If I post it before I leave Thursday morning, profound may look something like this:

[justmestace]

Whew! Every time I get caught up reading, I have to either get dinner on, pick up a kid......stupid life is getting in the way of my last couple of nights on here (for a while)

Dogs: Molly was 3 when we got Sadie and Scout (Aussies) but Molly had not been dominant. My dog, Wrangler dominated her. Sadie and Scout were totally untrainable. Even with all the land to run.....Scout was very Alpha male, and neither of them would let Molly eat. Then it got to the point where they were biting her, and hurting her. She still has scars. I gave them up when they were just past one and cried my eyes out, they were so beautiful. But they needed to be the only two dogs in the family, and they needed a farm, where they could run free, or maybe even work.

I made some labels for our luggage! Thank you...that was an EXCELLENT tip!

I wasn't going to bring any wine. Not sure if any of the local stuff was any good or not. But today I found a great bottle of a honey liquer that was calling my name. It's already packed in my carry-on!

Darn kids! Now they want to open presents! You'd think it was Christmas or something!
Sing a few carols while we go do this......

[WDWLVR]

Ok - trying to catch up.


Stacey - sent you a pm!

Lisa - thanks for taking care of what lbgraves wanted!

Karen - don't be too hard on Nick for messing up one line. What a great kid. I know you are very proud of him. We all make mistakes!

[Donalds_best_pal]

Good Night Everyone,

Still need to do some serious studying tonight. After a rocky night on The Dis, I think things calmed down. I even put thought I wont be responding no more and stuff, yes somebody still manages to find the thread on pg 3 and reply. lol :) So sorry guys again about spyware on old domain company. I didnt know about this until you said somthing. Got a new domain name. Dont have it set up right now but will asap. I need to get advice to make the domain name actually work, it will eventuall be www.travel-mania.org! Have a good night and wish me more luck.

Matt

[DisneyPinDiva]

Can't stick around tonight ..... too much to do yet. Last day of work tomorrow! Whooo Hooo! I'm getting so excited... but SO panicked that I won't be ready! I'll check in tomorrow.
Good luck to those with finals.
Safe travels to those who are leaving soon.
SEE YA ALL ON THE SHIP!

;kjepon hoem 9eioj kd dc l lkdoien ;lkkkkk (insert drool here) ;)
I like it a lot better than this quote:


ohiomickey and I are thinking we're out too. Like others, we can't justify the cost. It'd be about $16K for us as we'd be crusing with my parents and we never make them pay for Disney trips.
The excitement of speculating the route and dates was so overwhelming that now, the reality just stinks!
We'll make the final call here soon, but we're leaning heavily towards cancelling. :(

Thank goodness that didn't happen!

[ohiominnie]

Karen - don't be too hard on Nick for messing up one line. What a great kid. I know you are very proud of him. We all make mistakes!

Oh, I wasn't hard on him at all. His sister on the other hand....

I reminded him of all the times I'd heard bloopers...
like when Pooh was supposed to say "Christopher Robin has a house" but instead said "Christopher Robin has a horse" (at which point KT leaned over to me and said "do you think he'll let me ride it?" Also when Eeyore cut about 6 lines out and left Nick standing there with nothing to say (luckily in rehearsal) Apparently in one of the ones Nick wasn't in, Pooh said "my toes are snowing" instead of something like "it goes on snowing" :) I explained that was the thing about live theater!!

He seemed ok with it. The rest of the cast felt terrible that they had put that thought in his mind!

Here I am, all alone again.

We didn't get the kids anything. I was dead serious about the cruise being their gift.
Actually, I could swear there was one thing...but I don't know where I put them. (One for each...and I know it's not packed, heavy and breakable) Oh well.
They each got something for Jay. And they had some things from our friends. Nothing from the rest of the family yet. This could go on for days.

I watched.
I very rarely get gifts.
I'm a sad individual.
BUT MY COUNTDOWN TIMER SAYS FOUR DAYS TO PARADISE!!!! :teeth: :teeth: :cutie: :cloud9: WHAT MORE COULD A GIRL ASK FOR????

[justmestace]

I just remembered where those two gifts are. Guess I'll have to dig them out and wrap them tomorrow. I could swear I did that already. I am losing my mind.

[justmestace]

The seamstress called about a half an hour ago. Jay's pants are done. She's great!I told her I wouldn't get over to her house to pick them up until about 2:00, I'll be at the salon all day, trying to get beautiful......she didn't feel too sorry for me.
Have you noticed how more and more they aren't calling them "Beauty Shops"? Too many lawsuits for false advertising.

[justmestace]

T.O.P.???

DCLcruiser, are you on the 10 day? If so , please introduce yourself. We're an overly friendly group here.

Stacey, I was wondering today when the kid will get old enough to start thinking about the joy of giving. Seems like that kicks in MUCH later, at this age it's "all about me!" Alicia's name was drawn for the raffle at the talent show Saturday. She got to choose between a lovely turquoise and silver pendant (that Mom would have liked) or some rhinestone bangle bracelets that she liked. Guess which one she chose?

I'm sure you'll see the bracelets on the cruise. Hope they aren't made of lead.

[justmestace]

Well, guys....going to bed. No need to remind you all that I won't be here next Monday night. Or the Monday after that......so...this is the last time I'll say:

I'll try not to let it spoil the rest of the vacation, if it is cancelled.

DD does not know about it so she won't be upset.

I'll have to look on the bright side.........maybe I can scuba dive after all.

Now that your last few days on land are here, I must add my two cents as I have been reading your thread for the last month.

We are sailing on the 28th (yes, your ship for some time then you MUST give it up) and I have been having fun reading your posts. I have able to find out when you got your docs - so we will get ours next, what your plans are for on the ship, ect. I thank each and every one of you for the entertainment and for the knowledge and fun that you have passed on to other cruisers. Even though we will not be leaving and travelling at the same time, I am excited for you that your NEW journey will take place in a couple of days.

Have a great time and we look forward to hearing about your holiday when you getback.

Merry Christmas to all and have a drink of wine in whatever you may bring (ie. a glass, a bottle or even a caraffe) and give yourselves a cheer to friendships that have formed over the last year.

Seasons best,
Michele

[djs113]

Hey Michelle,

you should have jumped in and said hello more often.

We will try to leave the ship in one piece for you

have a great holiday season, and get ready for the "live reports from the 10 day holiday cruise on the Magic!!!"

- David

[WDWLVR]

http://monorailgreen.info/smilies/dclmoving.gif Good morning Cruisers!
We sail in 4 days! http://monorailgreen.info/smilies/dclmoving.gif

Happy Tuesday! Another day closer to cruising!

Missed saying good-bye to Paul yesterday. Safe trip!

DCLCruiser - welcome! Home you get a chance once on board to introduce yourself to us. We'd love to meet you!

Well off to read the boards and then off to work!

Great day everyone!

[tkd lisa]

Okay.. I have to ask just what IS switchfoot???
Oh Leslie, just ask any teen/pre-teen girl on the cruise. Tina's DD Kristen is a big fan, and my DD loves them too. They started as contemporary Christian. They are still strong Christians, but a lot of their music is being played on modern rock type stations now.

[tkd lisa]

Just wondering if anyone on this thread is coming from the Indianapolis area??

I don't think so. My in-laws are from there, but we had to cancel them when my FIL's health got too bad. Is there something you need from there? I can try to help you out.

[DVC4US]

Good Tuesday Morning Everyone!!

It is getting closer and closer, I can't wait. :cool1: :Pinkbounc I guess Rich was right when he said he would be packing on Thursday, he still hasn't packed. It's a good thing we don't leave till late afternoon. Hopefully, I can get him home sometime tormorrow night and at least have him lay out his clothes. At least I have me and the girls packed.

Everyone have a great day!

[DVC4US]

Michele,

Thanks so much for the greetings and telling us how much you have enjoyed our thread. Most of us have been here over a year and I can tell you it has been a great time.

As David said, we will try to leave to ship in one piece for you and all nice and tidy.

You have a joyus holiday season and we hope you have a great New Year's on the ship.

[tkd lisa]

Actually, my DS seems to have picked up that notion this year. I sent him spending money for their camp last weekend (DD used her spending money to make up the additional cost of her keyboard). He came home and told me that he bought me a present. I figured that it was a pen or something like that, but no, he pulls out a hardback copy of a Max Lucado box. He said it was on sale, but I know it still cost at least $10 of his $15, and he had also gotten his sister a Young Life pen. Right after they got back, we went to Awanas, and they had their Awana store. They earn "shares" for learning Bible verses, completing sections in their books, wearing special clothes on spirit nights, etc. He had earned 15 shares. He bought a crystal figurine for his sister, and a really pretty wall hanging for his Dad and I. He just had the biggest smile on his face at how happy he made us. I asked him, didn't you get anything for yourself? He said "No Mom. I really wanted to get you guys something." Yes, Mommy cried!

[DVC4US]

I am on the extended 10-day cruise. Mine is 100 days :cool1: I am one of the crew members aboard the ship.

It's great to have you join us DCLcruiser and I do hope you introduce yourself on on the cruise.

Okay, now give over. Since you are a crew member what does DCL have planned for us. :earboy2: We want details. ::yes:: :flower1:

That's one thing I can be thankful for. My kids get JUST as excited to see people open the gifts they bought for them as they do opening their own gifts. In fact, this year Nick had to give KT a gift EXTRA EXTRA early b/c he just could NOT wait. He was ready to bust! (He bought kt some raspberry gourmet sauce at Robert Rothschild's)

Welcome, Michele. We'll try to keep the ship in good condition for you! Please don't have too big of a smile on your face as you see us get off crying. Karaeric and I will be shedding extra tears as we're getting off on our birthdays!!!

Safe travels to you and yours! You're going to have a blast! I hope you and your fellow cruisers have been able to put together some fun things!!

[ohiominnie]

He said "No Mom. I really wanted to get you guys something." Yes, Mommy cried!

And so did ohiominnie! That's sweet. That describes my kids....especially Nick.

T.O.P.!!!

What a way to start the morning!!

[DVC4US]

I don't want to stir up the pot but I want to give you my experience with security at the airport. When we came home from Thanksgiving, my Dad decided to save money and send a few presents home with us. He had them in a box and he had them wrapped. At check-in they made me open the box, and unwrap the present and even open the box it was in. The lady at check-in also told me that once it went through the screeners they might open it again. And they did, because there was a smaller item in the box I didn't know about that they unwrapped.

These items were packed in a box, so they had to be opened but I think luggage is different. If they are not sure about what they are seeing when they screen it they will check the suitecase. If the item is wrapped they will unwrap it to check it. After this experience I decided not to wrap anything and I am just taking gift bags to make the wrapping easier.

Hope this helps. If you have things wrapped and packed I would say leave them, but maybe have a back-up plan just in case.

Hi Jeri.........

I am saddened about the news of the cancellation.
I will call Dolphin Discovery tommorrow.
I am booked on my own and not through Disney.
I am getting a really bad feeling about this.

I'll try not to let it spoil the rest of the vacation, if it is cancelled.

DD does not know about it so she won't be upset.

I'll have to look on the bright side.........maybe I can scuba dive after all.
Time to look for my Naui card and log book.

Kevin are the DISer's diving in Antigua?

3 more sleeps for us.

Gus

Gus (and all the other dolphin swim folks) Sorry that the excursion got canceled. Hope you find a suitable substitute for the surprise. I'm sure the kids will be so pyched anyway about the trip it won't be hard.

Yes we are diving on Antigua. We are going with Big Johns, it's on the site. Tell him your with the DIS group and get your reservation in ASAP. Hopefully there is room left on our boat.

Thought those of you who are parents would appreciate these:



PREGNANCY Q & A:
Q: Should I have a baby after 35?

A: No, 35 children are enough.

Q: I'm two months pregnant now. When will my baby move?

A: With any luck, right after he finishes college.

Q: What is the most reliable method to determine a baby's sex?

A: Childbirth.

Q: My wife is five months pregnant and so moody that sometimes she's borderline

irrational.

A: So what's your question?

Q: My childbirth instructor says it's not pain I'll feel during labor, but

pressure. Is she right?

A: Yes, in the same way that a tornado might be called an air current.

Q: When is the best time to get an epidural?

A: Right after you find out you're pregnant.

Q: Is there any reason I have to be in the delivery room while my wife is in labor?

A: Not unless the word "alimony" means anything to you.

Q: Is there anything I should avoid while recovering from childbirth?

A: Yes, pregnancy.

Q: Do I have to have a baby shower?

A: Not if you change the baby's diaper very quickly.

Q: Our baby was born last week. When will my wife begin to feel and act normal

again?

A: When the kids are in college.

Now that your last few days on land are here, I must add my two cents as I have been reading your thread for the last month.

We are sailing on the 28th (yes, your ship for some time then you MUST give it up) and I have been having fun reading your posts. I have able to find out when you got your docs - so we will get ours next, what your plans are for on the ship, ect. I thank each and every one of you for the entertainment and for the knowledge and fun that you have passed on to other cruisers. Even though we will not be leaving and travelling at the same time, I am excited for you that your NEW journey will take place in a couple of days.

Have a great time and we look forward to hearing about your holiday when you getback.

Merry Christmas to all and have a drink of wine in whatever you may bring (ie. a glass, a bottle or even a caraffe) and give yourselves a cheer to friendships that have formed over the last year.

Seasons best,
Michele
How nice of you, Michele!
Thank you, so much. And Merry Christmas to you, too!!! If you find a few of us hiding in closets when you get on the ship, don't say anything, okay?;)

[justmestace]

Actually, my DS seems to have picked up that notion this year. I sent him spending money for their camp last weekend (DD used her spending money to make up the additional cost of her keyboard). He came home and told me that he bought me a present. I figured that it was a pen or something like that, but no, he pulls out a hardback copy of a Max Lucado box. He said it was on sale, but I know it still cost at least $10 of his $15, and he had also gotten his sister a Young Life pen. Right after they got back, we went to Awanas, and they had their Awana store. They earn "shares" for learning Bible verses, completing sections in their books, wearing special clothes on spirit nights, etc. He had earned 15 shares. He bought a crystal figurine for his sister, and a really pretty wall hanging for his Dad and I. He just had the biggest smile on his face at how happy he made us. I asked him, didn't you get anything for yourself? He said "No Mom. I really wanted to get you guys something." Yes, Mommy cried!
That gave me goosebumps.....how sweet! Every now and then they seem to manage to do something that pulls at your heartstrings!

[justmestace]

It's great to have you join us DCLcruiser and I do hope you introduce yourself on on the cruise.

Okay, now give over. Since you are a crew member what does DCL have planned for us. :earboy2: We want details. ::yes:: :flower1:

[justmestace]

Good Morning!!

Hasn't taken me nearly as long to catch up lately. You can sure tell that we're getting down to the wire!!

No word back from my e-mail to Dolphin Discovery.

I found the two gifts that I could have sworn I wrapped for the kids. Unwrapped. :crazy: And in my usual hiding place that the kids have known about for years....but if I found a new hiding place, I wouldn't remember where they were!!

Guess I had better get moving too......
Have a great day, everyone.......
And, please, next Tuesday........Don't wake me up!!! :cool1:

[Dancind]

I'm not doing so well on the hiding this year. I think Alicia has now seen everything I had planned for her stocking. Bah Humbug.

Lisa, that was very sweet. My brother was like that too, I'll have to ask him if either of his kids inherited that trait. I don't think so.

Mary, we need to plan a spot now to meet for Illuminations on the 28th so that maybe Gail can join us! Any ideas? Someplace that isn't too bad when it's very, very crowded!

[Dancind]

Is anyone doing the Nelson's Dockyard Tour on Antigua? I'm thinking of signing up for that one, just me. Family will be diving. Trying to remember, does it involve any snorkeling or is it all dry land?

Hi Diana
We are going to be at SSR after the cruise until 1/4/05 and if it is ok, I meeeting up for Illumations sounds like fun.

[Donalds_best_pal]

Good Morning,

Home from school already. Biology test was super hard. One of the last two persons to finish. Got it over with at least. I am guess i did bad thought :(

I am on hold with DCL to sort out the dolphin excursion. We are not going to do the one from SM as it is 7 hrs vs the Antigua one was 3-4hrs. I can ask about the Dockyard Tour. In the brochure it is part on land and part 45 minute catamaran cruise....


They have space at both the 8:15 departure and the 12:45 departure.
:flower1:

[Dancind]

Hi Diana
We are going to be at SSR after the cruise until 1/4/05 and if it is ok, I meeeting up for Illumations sounds like fun.

Absolutely! The last time we were there for New Year's Eve, we found a spot just to the left of the American Gardens theatre. It wasn't great for viewing, but we were able to get next to the wall at least. The good viewing spots will be hard to get, people will be staking them out hours in advance. They have an extra ending to Illuminations for the Holidays, and it should still be going on. We've never really had a favorite spot (well, besides the specialty cruise that goes under the bridge), so don't know what to suggest. Hoping Mary & Mark have an idea.

Now I'm wishing I had gotten up early to call for a specialty cruise one of the nights. We have enough people. Maybe I'll call and check on cancellations.

I talked to Dolphin Discovery today.
They are calling me back today about the status of our reservation.
It doesn't look good for us.

Something about construction at that location.

In any event I'll have to make a decision before tommorrow afternoon, as we are leaving on the 16th.

See you all soon.

2 more sleeps.

Gus,
I was told the Antigua dolphin excursion was cancelled due to relocating the dolphins. Perhaps that is due to construction. Anyway they offerd us the SM dolphin excursion but we declined as it is 7hrs vs the 4hr one in Antigua and that is too long for our DD. Good luck! :flower1:

[DW4US]

Gus,

Did you try DCL to see if you could get on the SM Dolphin excursion. We switched to it but our reservations were thru DCL. At first I was really disappointed, but they changed the time to 7:30 am instead of 10:45 so we'll get back in time for dinner and the ornament exchange :cheer2:

I hope you can get something!!!

[scuba.mom]

And where will the children be while you and Garry are diving with the Manatees, hmmm?

Alicia will want to see them, too, next summer.

They will be in school and taking finals. Just as they were in school when he dove in Santa Barbara - but that was work related. The first was cruise related. And, Jim knows how to get what he wants - tell me it's cruise related. :cool1:

OMG! Its 36 degree it out. Its so cold. When I went to school it was 29!!!! Records being set all over florida,mississippi, georgia and alabama. Its horrible. Suppose to be back to normal friday. Hopefully we dont freeze by then!

Hey DVC4US-

Happy Tuesday morning. I WANT FRIDAY!!!!!

Okay, caught up on the posts. Now I need to get A/P done and get payroll finished for tomorrow.

Got the pirate pins sorted out and packed last night (with DD's help). Tonight we will put together the scrapbooking envelopes for everyone. I need to give that printer a run before I get on the ship and yes, I think I will go buy another package of paper (didn't want to push my luck when DH was with me!)

Can't wait for this cruise, work has been H*** this week (and to think, yesterday was just Monday!)

No cancellations. I will check again before we leave. Chances are better once we are there, but that might be a bit late to get a meet organized! So we still need to pick a spot!

Gus, if you're staying extra days before or after at WDW, you might want to call Discovery Cove at Sea World. It's a full day, and a really good experience. And the family members that don't want to swim with dolphins can go for less $$$.

I guess I'd better PM with this suggestion?

[WDWLVR]

Hi Diana - Gail might have already told you but they are coming in on the 29th and we're getting together at Epcot on the 28th. I think you are doing the first CP and then eating - right? Where are you dining? We're eating first and then doing the 2nd CP so we'll be coming from the American Pavillion. Maybe we can find a place partway between those.

[Hercules10]

For what it's worth info. I called the excursion's desk after the dolphin adventure was cancelled on Antigua. The Jolly Roger Pirate excursion was not only available, but both times had space.

When we called a month ago the Jolly Roger was completely booked. So either they added more, had cancellations or this excursion sux, I don't know it and me and da wife will be the only ones on it.....

[tinkfan]

HI everyone,

Finally home from work. I skimmed through the last day and half of posts, so if I missed someting really important someone please PM me.

I am now off to the gym and then to the mall to make a few exchanges. Tonight we don't have any activities so we all pack!!

Will try to check in again if not those of you leaving tomorrow have a safe trip!

[WDWLVR]

My apologies if this has been posted before. For all those of us feeling a little holiday stress - some humor. How did the angel get to be the topper on the Christmas tree.


When four of Santa's elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not

produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, Santa was beginning to

feel the pressure of being behind schedule.



Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was coming to visit. This

stressed Santa even more.



When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were

about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven

knows where. More stress.



Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked, and

the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys.



So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and

a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the

elves had hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In his

frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke into

hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor.



He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end

of the broom.



Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door.

He opened the door, and there was a little angel with a great big

Christmas tree.



The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't it a

lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me

to stick it?"



And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree

We are eating at the Garden Grille at 7 pm. What time is Illuminations that night?
Illuminations is at 9:30 according to the WDW site. Maybe we should try and meet over by Canada. We've watched it from the Off Kilter Stage before. The view isn't perfect but you get to see a lot of the show. I'll ask Mark tonight if he has recommendations.

Therese - where will you be that night? It would be great if we could all get together.

[tkd lisa]

Got the kids assignments from school. Not too bad. DD has about 4 pages of math worksheets, and 2 pages of science notes. DS has 2 pages of math worksheets, and 2 sets of homework assignments from his math book. I just copied the pages out of the book, and he'll do half on the way down, half on the way home.

We're off to pick up the rental car. Cheaper to rent a one-way to the airport and one way back than to park for 14 days at National! I might check in later. If not, see you all on Saturday!!!!

So....I booked the Jolly Roger for us, the early one...and then we will go over to Nelson's Dockyard on our own, since Jay really wanted to see that, too. I guess I can look at it as saving a TON of money.

I feel worse for Gus. Sorry, Gus, I know how much you wanted to surprise your daughter! :(

The problem is Matt, I really can't. I've reached the limit of my patience. I've been a message forum moderator on another message forum for many many years now and I will tell you, you deserved getting yelled at for that. You want the responsibility of running your own forum, but then you act that irresponsibly? You just don't do that. You want everyone to come over to your forum, why? There is nothing wrong with the one right here.

This isn't the first time that something disruptive has happened. Most of the people in this thread don't venture out much past this thread, but I certainly do. You tried to take over the Cruise List and when it was more than you can handle, dumped it too. Why should now be any different?

You've been given good advice from both Virgil and Kevin and chose to disregard that. You'll probably disregard mine too, But I'll give it anyway. Stop trying so hard. To go and do something just to gain attention doesn't work. I can probably guess what 'disregard' is. It was some kind of statement saying you're leaving, right? You need to rethink some things, people pay attention not to just actions you do, but the particpation you do with the group much much more. Functioning within a group is not to try to one-up everyone else. That more than anything else is what is putting people off.

Sorry to be the bad guy, but I had to say something. Better now than some scene on the ship.

Hey Stacey, I got a nice email from Amy, she got us linked, thank you. We were thinking of the Jolly Roger and would be game for a self guided expedition to Nelson's Dockyard :flower1:
:cool1: Cool....we booked the earlier Jolly Roger. Means we have to get up and moving...but no sense wasting precious time!! The more, the merrier!!

gaRry

I'm sorry. I had my dry suit out and ready to go. This is my busy time of the year and it's tough to get out for the cruise. Had a hard time justify a dive when I'm going to be out.

But, there is still hope.

I'll PM my address for the shirt exchange.

[wdwgoose]

MARY
YES will be up to jims Gregg still wants to drive on the beach at DAYTONA
then we are going too see the WONDER at dock.
so I hope i have not missed much if I did we'll need to talk alot more on the cruise.


just got a call from D W at my new horses barn. mine are fine but one that has been sick just went down right before they got there.
BANDIT this horse would give you a kiss he could bow down and A lot of tricks. the ouner is going to be very hurt. this was truly her babie. She spent A lot of time with that horse. she is worsted than me on these animals. SPOILED ROITTEN KIDS.

[justmestace]

Stacey - sorry to hear they didn't get back to you. Customer service is key. Especially on an island that is kind of an experiment for Disney. Looks like they dropped the ball. Enjoy the Jolly Roger!

[Donalds_best_pal]

The problem is Matt, I really can't. I've reached the limit of my patience. I've been a message forum moderator on another message forum for many many years now and I will tell you, you deserved getting yelled at for that. You want the responsibility of running your own forum, but then you act that irresponsibly? You just don't do that. You want everyone to come over to your forum, why? There is nothing wrong with the one right here.

This isn't the first time that something disruptive has happened. Most of the people in this thread don't venture out much past this thread, but I certainly do. You tried to take over the Cruise List and when it was more than you can handle, dumped it too. Why should now be any different?

Functioning within a group is not to try to one-up everyone else. That more than anything else is what is putting people off.

Sorry to be the bad guy, but I had to say something. Better now than some scene on the ship. Yes, I know what I did was wrong yesterday, but people kept going on and on. I not purposely trying to disregard advice. I didnt dumb the cruise list. People told me it would be better to let the person with the database set up do it so I could post more. I didnt dump it at all. I was working all the time updating it, so please dont make that up. People told me I should let everyone us the other list. I said fine. I am not trying to one up everyone else. I am also not trying to get everyone to leave the boards to come to mine. That is not my purpose. The reason I said disreagard was I actually did rethink what Virgil had said I decided to just forget about it and just hang out on here from now. Thats why I said disregard. I understand in away were your coming from but that was very hurtful.

Matt

[scuba diver]

GaRy, I just sent you a PM about Thursday. Something that will make it easier for you.

Take a look and let me know.

It's so secret that I don't want to post it on the board. Can't trust some of these people with these important details.

All that matters is that I get Mark and Mary's shirts.

[justmestace]

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :charac2: :love1: :laughing:












NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK



















stacey gotts a surrrrrprize for yaaaaaaaaaAAA

Suddenly, I am feeling verrrrry nervous......should I be afraid??
What are you up to??

[scuba diver]

Even got a Top for being helpful.

Nice.

and if its OKAY with her mom & dad??????????





gaRry

That might work, especially if it is later in the week. We can work out those details on the ship. Planning the next trip before this one is over, great idea!

[wdwgoose]

JIM great thats right where we were going to end up anyways


was there any other shirts to drop off with you ????????? I'm sure D W will keep me up to date when she gets here.
















gaRry

[wdwgoose]

well BREAK TIME will be back in awhile.

[All_Ears]

Illuminations is at 9:30 according to the WDW site. Maybe we should try and meet over by Canada. We've watched it from the Off Kilter Stage before. The view isn't perfect but you get to see a lot of the show. I'll ask Mark tonight if he has recommendations.

Therese - where will you be that night? It would be great if we could all get together.

Mary that sound great - I will copy and paste this for my binder! I am getting nervous here - only a couple of days and I need more time to pack!!!

[disneylover4]

I called DCL to see what movies we'll be enjoying while during our stay on the Magic. Was hoping for a primEAR but don't know of any Disney movies that are being released this week or next so I guess we're out of luck on that one.

They are as follows:

Around the World in 80 days
Brother Bear
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
Finding Nemo
Ladder 49
Home on the Range
The Incredibles
The Village
Miracle
Mr. 3000
National Treasure
Princess Diaries 2
Pirates of the Carribean :jumping4: :cool1: pirate:
Raising Helen

Out of these we haven't seen 5 so guess dinner and a movie is the call for us at least 1/2 of the time. Hopefully one that I do want to see isn't playing the same night at the dessert bar!!!! Gotta get there EARLY before the "wino's" eat all the good stuff! :earboy2:

[justmestace]

Matt
Hey, Matt....I've stayed pretty quiet through all of this. I don't read any of the other boards, and hardly ever even go to the thread that I started for my next cruise.....and I want you to know that as a human being, I feel really bad that your feelings have been hurt. We all know what that's like, trust me.
But.....and you may choose to quit reading at this point......one thing that you need to remember is that even though you are very bright, and not at all typical of most teens, you are still a teen. My oldest daughter, who is now almost 24, could enter into any adult conversation at a young age, and converse intelligently. And she did do that sometimes. BUT.....she knew when it was acceptable and when it wasn't.
For the most part, these boards, and even this thread, are for adults. I'm sorry. But some of our conversation is not geared toward young people, no matter how mature or smart they are. There are teen threads, but if you don't feel comfortable there, then you really need to find something else to occupy yourself with. We all want you to have a good time on the cruise, and it will be nice to meet you, but we are all adults here, and it's not that we have been so much "ignoring" your posts, it's just that most of us have kids your age, or close...be it younger or older...and we really don't want to talk to our kids here. We want to talk to the adults that we are going to be doing things with on this cruise. We have shared parenting tips, wine suggestions, all sorts of things that are just beyond your realm. No offense meant at all. It's just a fact.
I'm sorry if I hurt you, that's not the intention.

[WVMD]

Hmmm - wonder what Scuba Jim will be asking Santa for :D
I think you have to have a suitable wine cellar and inventory before that becomes a necessity. If Jim is like us, the wine doesn't have a chance to hang around that long......

[scuba diver]

Hmmmm..... I wish that I had a wine cellar that needed this..... Definitely pretty cool....

I could use something like that on the cruise, keeping track of the wine.

[WVMD]

There's a resort in Pennsylvania that we enjoy going to - it's near Pittsburgh - Nemacolin Woodlands... and they have the type of wine cellar that would need the scanner...... I enjoy walking thought it......but it's way way way out of my league....
