All I want to say is I HATE getting this far behind on my DIS'ing. So NOT COOL!
Very cool cruise!! What a bargain!
The cruise was so much fun! I'm so glad we decided to do it. I know Denny probably liked even more than I did because he LOVES that kind of stuff!
And I'm super impressed with your Southwest credit-finding skills!
Ahhhhh........Thank you! Considering you ARE the master!
UGH, what a pain to have to shuffle everything around but I can see his point and we'd have likely made the same call.
.
It was a pain, but definitely worth it in the end. I was SO glad the vacation, as short as it was, came through! Really needed it!
you poor thing, that sounds like an awful night for you. I remember how stressed we were on decision day!
Not my finest hour - that's for sure!
Pretty campus! Looks huge next to Tay's school, but they are only half has big.
It's actually nice and compact and easy to negotiate. It looks SO small compared to UD, but it has so many nice features that make it so much more personal.
Supposedly Jeff and the ex are doing the same thing but I haven't gotten a straight answer. I think it's a fair deal and they are old enough to deliver. At least you knew when parents night was, we get NO info from Tay other than "I need a tux", "Is my camera in the garage" and "I lost my cell phone, I'm borrowing an XXX...do you have a charger that works with that?"
Sigh. I don't even know if we will see him at Thanksgiving!

Salisbury is very good about sending stuff home to the parents. I appreciate that or we wouldn't know a thing. Well - I check the website alot , so that helps. I get the same stuff from Brian. In fact, he texted me last night and said most of his floor was going home this weekend, could I come get him. And I did. 45 minutes home from work then 2hrs down and 2 hrs back. ughhhh! And I'll probably only see him for 5 minutes this weekend!

I know those beers!
Ranger is pretty well distributed around here (the IPA), it's a NW beer. Sounds like a great dinner, my kind of place and food!
I enjoyed my Hoptober quite a bit! It was a fun beer and I like the oversized bottles!
The condo looks great and what a wonderful wonderful tour!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll have to keep this in mind should we ever make it out there. How great you were able to make it all work out.
The condo was wonderful - beats a hotel room any day. Definitely worth a visit to the area when you get to the East Coast. Very fun! I can't wait to go back!
Your condo looked so nice, love that you had a hot tub!
The condo was great and the hot tub was absolutely a bonus! I loved it!
Even though you didn't know where to eat, it looks like you ended up somewhere good, everything looked yummy!
It all boiled down to liking the name and the presence of electricity, of course!
The cruise looks like fun, I would never think to do that! Those machine guns are a little strange, though!
The cruise was very fun. The machine guns - unnerving, but apparently required in a post 911 world!
Gee I am back here on Page 4 trying to catch up. Now the Dis is being apain and is not wanting to load pages quick enough and keeps timing out.
I thought I was the only one who was having trouble with the loading pages. I blamed it on my overly full hard drive.
I keep having to delete extra photos and back them up to make room for the new ones.

I am slowly catching up and looking forward to waiting in the queue.
ETA: All caught up now. What an adventure to say the least. Glad everything worked out in the end. What a lovely cruise.
Thanks for waiting in the queue!!!!!
I need to get on with this TR because my queue is getting backed up!
Getting to W-burg was an adventure and I am so thankful it worked out! I needed that trip. The cruise was very fun and informative!
I know how you feel with your son. That sounds like my daughter. She is doing well but I stay worried waiting for something else to blindside me.
My son will be fine. He just needs to get on with picking a school and all that goes along with that.
Getting blindsided - I know ALL about that! I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop. He's so unpredictable. sometimes I am certain he is turning the corner and finally growing up and other times - forget about it!
He is a work in progress - that's for sure!
My younger son is fine. Totally different. Has his act together.
Is Chris a senior this year? My younger son, Nick, is a junior so I get a little breathing room right now. But since Nick is a stronger student I think he has more options open to him and then, it and of itself, makes the process harder. Should he go for the better school?, the one that's closest and gives him the most money?, or should he try to play soccer at a D3 school? He is going to have to make a lot of decisions in the next year.
We did that cruise, also. We got to see one of the nuclear subs & a carrier. Our cruise stopped at the fort, so we got to look around. There wasn't much to see since it had not been used for years.
Doris - I should have know you would know all about the cruise. You could probably be a Williamsburg and vicinity tour guide. I would have loved to see a nuclear sub. Yup - that fort was very small. I didn't mind just sitting on the boat while he talked about it.
My DH likes a restaurant in Yorktown that is before you cross the bridge over the York River. It is on the riverfront. It has great sandwiches.
I think I know exactly what restaurant you mean, except I can't remember the name of it. It had a nice outside deck.
What a nice cruise (and cheap too) and great pictures as always.
Thanks Kathy. It was a very fun cruise and since this was an economy trip I was all about saving some $ on that cruise.
