-- U.S. military launches what it terms the largest air assault in Iraq since
2003 invasion, targeting insurgents north of Baghdad.

Watch CNN or log on to http://CNN.com

U.S. and Iraqi forces today launched the largest air assault operation since the invasion of Iraq nearly three years ago, the U.S. military said. More than 50 aircraft are involved in Operation Swarmer, supporting more than 1,500 Iraqi and U.S. troops near Samarra, about 75 miles north of Baghdad. The aircraft also delivered troops from the Iraq and U.S. Army to "multiple objectives."

I recorded a show on the Travel channel 2 nights ago and it was all about the Disney cruise line. Great show. They've been having shows on Hawaii and the Caribbean and had a really good show on Cruises in general. I recorded them all.. ha ha Good info! They play all month so some of you may want to check them out

Sally, thanks for mentioning the Travel Channel shows. I watched the show about the World's Best Cruise Ships this afternoon. The Disney Cruise Line show was on at 7 PM tonight, EST. They were both great. The show about Disney featured the Wonder, although they had quite a bit about the Magic, too. I just wished they had shown the Pirates of the Caribbean party, though.

Voyage into the Unknown! Disney Magic® Leaves Mystery Behind!
March 8 — 26° 5'N, 77° 32'W
Waves of intrigue continue to rock the worldwide seafaring community after the Disney Magic® cruise liner secretly sets sail late last night. Officials have yet to release details about the curious incident or the ship's whereabouts, but records released this morning indicate what is believed to be the last message — received in international Morse code on the evening of the 7th — before the ship left port. Further details to follow.

March 10 — 57° 03'N, 135° 15'W
A new Morse code message believed to be from the Disney Magic® was received late last night. Officials have yet to crack the message's code but believe it could offer a clue as to where in the world the vessel is stationed. Tomorrow an international committee will be formed to dive deeper into the matter.

March 13 — 52° 22'N, 4° 53'W
The cruise liner that has eluded maritime officials was allegedly sighted approximately three miles west of Chile. The local fisherman who sighted the ship just before six this morning told authorities, "El gran barco estaba allí y entonces fue ido." Soon after, another Morse code message was received. Authorities rushing to the scene hours later claimed to having heard the distant strains of "When You Wish Upon a Star" — played by foghorn.

I think all that Disney is preparing to let us all know they have a new ship and it's goin gto be doing the European cruises But they are talking about stops in Greece, Italy, and I forget the other places... I'll be on that one one day.

 

[SallyB]

I know it sounds so far off... BUT... I think we could plan it and make it happen!

Who's Game?

Doesn't matter which Disney Cruise it is, as long as we are all on it!

C'mon C'mon C'mon

[dreamakermom]

Thank you Kim.... you're a doll for posting them for me! I started to learn how to post pics... but then I realized I wanted to name all the pics before I post so they don't come up 0012, 0013, etc... Well... I have over 400 and Amber has over 300 and Amittaia has over 100. SO.... it is time consuming on top of packing up the house, work, etc...
So, know I appreciate you posting these as it would have been a long time for me to get them on. Thanks again!
