So I am trying to slim down for our Cruise in 2010. Started Weight Watchers January 8th and so far I have in one month lost 5.6 lbs. Thats more weight then I have lost in like 2 years. I am soo proud of myself!!! I want to have to buy a whole new set of clothes for our Cruising!
I don't read them unless it is someone I know personally or there was something new on a particular cruise I want to read about, but I know a lot of people here read lots of trip reports to get opinions/views on things. I think the majority don't post replies though . . seeing it as more of a journal or blog. That's okay. I was just curious about the separate "pre-trip report" trend.To be honest I tend to not read trip reports, I just don't have the time. I read on other boards and write them on that board but when I have tried to write TR's on the DIS either no one responds, or reads it so I gave up.
Steph - Although it was several years ago, I've seen the Royal Ballet of London perform and it sounds like they have maintained their standards. I know what you mean by WOW! I'm jealous because I would LOVE to see them again. Alina Cojocaru from Romania was the principal (prima) ballerina then. Is she still with them?The University troupe was good and we were really impressed until the Royal Ballet of London, a visiting troupe, took the stage for the 2nd hour. WOW! That's pretty much it- WOW! I have seen ballet performed many places by some really great dancers but never anything quite like this.
Good morning everyone! I love seeing activity on our thread and equally love when we gain additional cruisers . . as much as I love losing weight - LOL. Forgive me - I'm in another crazy mood today!
Just wondering: Is there a trend now to do a pre-cruise trip report, separate from one's post-cruise trip report and separate from the particular cruise's thread? I've noticed a few people on the DIS have done that. It used to be that "pre-cruise" implied packing, flying to Orlando, and the time spent in the area (at WDW or other area attractions) in the days before sailing, and people just included all that in the cruise thread or added it as the start of their post-cruise trip report. My thought is that if the pre-cruise stuff is in the regular cruise thread, it is easily shared with those on that sailing without searching the trip reports forum.
Temps: It was 43 when I got up today, but is currently 57.
Amy - I enjoy the Grand Floridian Cafe. I've not had dinner there yet, but sometimes I hop on the monorail and head over there for lunch. I especially like their "Grand Sandwich" (open-faced turkey) and love their Orange Glazed Salmon Salad. Uh-oh .. I did not have breakfast today and now I'm making myself hungry for lunch!
Hey - CONGRATULATIONS!I got the call today that I got a JOB! and its at the Airport which makes me happy as I love the airport. My family always said I'd be happiest working at the airport. I am facinated by planes, flying and the excitment of travel. ........
Yes, she is still with them. One of the ladies in the audience was talking about how graceful she is. She said she does not travel much anymore and she did not perform at this show- that just means I will have to see them again. They were using the prima from their university troupe. She is only 19 years old and from Japan. Her name is Shiori Kase. Her partner in the Pas de deux was just as impressive. His name is Benjamin Ella and he is also only 19.Alina Cojocaru from Romania was the principal (prima) ballerina then. Is she still with them?
I am so EXCITED!!!!
I got the call today that I got a JOB!
I am so EXCITED!!!!
Let me give a little Background-
I moved to Orlando In September, I quit my job back in CT and packed up and moved down here with my mother in tow (she has some medical issues so I help her out) She brought her job with her since she can do it from home. So she works in home. I have been searching for this elusive thing called Employment for the last 5 months.

I have to go tomorrow to fill out paperwork and have my proof of legality to work in the US etc checked. I hope to find out my training schedule as well but it feels good to know that I'll have an income again!!
Cruise Money!!!
