We are waiting to board our plane in Indy! We also have a new mantra: "I don't care, I'm on vaction" (said in your best radio/announcer voice) See you on board!

Time is getting short! :woohoo: We fly out Saturday morning and I can tell we're getting close because DW is freaking out about packing :scared1: (and yes she reads these posts -- sorry honey, but it's true!). Like any good trip there are still a few details up in the air, sons to cajole...

Nope, no teasing (this time!): Walt Disney Imagineering Develops Interactive Gaming for Disney Cruise Line Although it looks like the Kinect-based game is on the Dream.

That's hilarious - they definitely will have things in common. I suppose this would be a bad time to mention that Disney has been working with Microsoft on an XBox Kinect game specifically for the cruise line? :confused3

That should be fine for us - someone is always running to the Scout shop for something. Myself and my two scouts are interested in trading patches.

Wow! Busy summer already. I hadn't looked closely at the names on the sheet yet - that's quite a coincidence! Now if your son is into Halo, they'll have a *lot* in common. I think that's a great idea -- we traded a few on our last cruise. We're in the Crossroads of America council...

Thanks for doing all of this, ILuvJimny and Nordkin! Our plane takes off in three weeks -- 24 days until we set sail! I put off coming up with ideas too long, so now we're scrambling to get all the FE stuff together but I'm sure we'll make it. We had a lot of fun with it last time and it...

:sad1: Great to see other scouters around! My sons are both Boy Scouts as well. My younger son crossed over this year, and my older son is about to earn Star. My wife and I have been involved in Cubs and Boy Scouts. I was the pack's Cub Master and now I'm Scout Master for the troop...

Oh, here's why they changed: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/story/14609518/marlinsmariners-moved-to-seattle-for-u2-concert/rss We'll have to thank U2 for forcing the Mariners to come home! The interesting thing (if you're a baseball fan) is that the Marlins will still be considered the "home"...

Oh my - that changed at some point then, because the games against the Marlins were originally away games. The schedule even says "@Marlins". Weird! Thanks for pointing this out, we definitely need to rethink our plans now!

I think coffee is a given! I'm not a crab fan but I'm sure I'll find some other seafood I like. We'll definitely do the space needle as well. My younger son & I thought we were going to be able to cross off a goal while we're there - to see a game in every major league park. The Mariners...

I'm hoping to change my Palo dinner reservation -- we'd really like to do it the night at Tracy arm. As I was researching how to do that, I found forum posts that said that you should look at the Welcome Navigator you get at checkin - it will tell you where/when to be to make Palo reservations...

Whew. More reservations made.....we're flying into Seattle on Saturday and spending a couple days there before heading to Vancouver on Monday on the Amtrak. We've been joking about all the different modes of transportation we're taking: - Car to the airport - Planes - Rental car in Seattle -...

I saw some references to 4th of July on previous cruises, and they did not do any special celebration (such as extra fireworks, which is what the poster wanted!) but they did have some traditional American dishes at dinner (apple pie, etc.). My boys are bummed that there won't be fireworks at...

Sorry! I have not been keeping up with this thread lately. For a while we thought we were going to have to cancel - I injured my shoulder two months ago and it turns out that I have a torn tendon in my rotator cuff. Surgery is needed but would put me in a sling for 4 weeks. We were...

Add me to the list wanting to see Navigators! We're really looking forward to our Alaskan trip. This is our second DCL cruise, but the first time we've been on one this long. Someone mentioned that the Captain's mess is the day the ship is at Ketchikan - currently my wife and I are planning...

Thank you! Sorry, I should have been clearer though...I'm Doug, my wife is Kim. :D Scouting is important to us both, and fortunately the new employer is being very understanding. It is definitely a "Northern Exposure" summer for us...the Alaskan cruise at the end of June, and then the...

Hi all, Sorry that it has been so long since I last posted. It's been an exciting winter and spring, to say the least. I just accepted an offer for a new job -- one of the main sticking points was making sure I would have enough vacation time for this cruise and Scout camp! As I...

Hi All, It's hard to believe that I haven't posted in this thread for nearly a year, and the cruise is still a long way off! We're starting to get more excited about it though. I've been reading all of the information about Vancouver and trying to figure out flights and transportation...

I walked there and back, but I'm not sure I would recommend it. It is a bit of a hike, very hilly in places, but the real issue was some of the neighborhoods I went through. Nassau is one of those cities that can transition from fairly nice areas to barbed wire and iron-barred windows in just...
