I just found your TR today and I'm thoroughly enjoying it!!! I can't wait to hear more about the fish extender gifts. I've never been on a cruise and probably will never go on one (I get sea sick) so I will live through your trip!

The Villas at Grand Floridian are gorgeous!

Thanks for sharing about your trip!

Your cabin door is just too cute! Love it!

What a fun idea with the chocolates.

Very cool that you made it on the webcam!

Fun pictures from sailing away!

Tom takes great pride in designing and making those decorations. All that I get to do is cut them out.

It was such fun to deliver the chocolates via the fishing line. I never expected us to get along so well, but we instantly bonded.

The webcam was awesome - you know that you can view the sailaway, even lateron?
Here is the link to the webcam - http://www.portcanaveralwebcam.com/replay.php
the cruise date was Feb 16/Disney Dream. You need to move to around 6 min and he will zoom right in on us.

Great door decoration Karin
How cool that your friends back in Austria and on the DIS spotted your flag!

Thank you, Linda!
The decorations are Tom's pride and joy! I posted the link to the replay in MEK's reply if you want to take a peek.

Welcome!
I am happy to hear that you enjoy our adventures so far. Sorry to hear about you getting sea sick - have you tried meds? I am someone who wanted to cruise only once in a lifetime, so I can say I did it, and here we are counting down to cruise no 14, a 12 night med cruise.

We were very impressed ba the VGF. The GF never really appealed to us, but the VGF are something else. So beautiful!!!

I'm behind...Mark's surgery and Easter and the kids being here are to blame.

I'm glad you got your breakfast at WPE...I know how much you enjoy it.

What a spectacular view you have.

What nice gifts you got in your Castaway Cay bag.

Love the photos as you are off to sea.

How fun that people saw you on the webcam.

Easy to fall behind .....

Everything worked out fine that first full day in the US. Yummy breakfast, great stateroom, fun "underneath" neighbours, great servers!

It was awesome to know that some of our friends and family had seen us sail out!

Great pictures of sailing away....I can't wait to see it with my own eyes, but until then, I'll continue reading and take notes!!

 

[HowieHowie]

YAY...I'm all caught up!!....Your balcony view was gorgeous, expecially the beautiful sunrise pictures. I love the one with the sun peaking through the doughnut hole.

Of course you have to keep the tradition going and eat at WPE.

Seeing the ship is very exciting no matter how many times you've cruised, and once you boarded, it's nice to feel at home!!

How nice that Zan rememberd you. Very nice stateroom and great veranda. I like the bags you got.

Very nice sail away pictures. How cool to be on the webcam! Tom's door decorations are great!

I'll need to do replies later.
Just wanted to let you all know that we will be gone for the weekend ..........







is calling our names.
We will leave here in the early morning tomorrow and arrive before noon, so I guess this



will be lunch tomorrow.

Going to have a similar apartment





with a view like this




Can't wait for some rest and relaxation, we'll do some walks





along the beach and have lots of















this yummy stuff!

If the weather stays dry (they DO predict some rain) we might even pop over to













and no visit to Venice would be complete without







wait for it .......





wait for it ..........









just a little longer ..........











a visit to the Disney store!!! Now, what did YOU think?

There will be some shopping to be done, so we can stock up on yummy Italian food items to keep the holiday spirit alive once we return home.



I don't know if we will be able to have internet - if so, I will give you a few updates, but if we don't, I'll see ya all again on Sunday night and stay tuned for yet another European TR. ​
