06/11/05 7- Night West Coast Cruise

[Monstro]

OK...so we'll do the meet at 3:15 in the Promenade Lounge on embarking day. All in agreement say "Aye".....

Aye!

 

[lkohawaii]

Dawn and I will be there.

Deb, I got a cute name tag from someone on the DIS. She said it's in Power Point. I'll try to get it into a program I can use and I'll print them up for you guys. I need to get everybody's name to put on it. Is the best way to do that to post my e mail address on here? I've never done this so I don't know.
I was also thinking of somehow making small green mickey heads for us to put on our lanyards or something so that when we see each other around and are not to sure if that was the person we met at the meet that the green mickey head would help us. The truth is I'm really bad with names...so this is to help me. I don't want any of you to think I'm unfriendly. I'm still trying to figure this one out. Somebody out there please help with ideas if you have any. Maybe I should post a thread for ideas.

My projects are coming to an end..but Dawn's are coming to it's height...so you probably won't hear from her for awhile. I'll keep her informed though. I took my suitcases out of the closet the other night. We're getting close!!!! Cant's wait.

I think the best way would be to use Private Messages (PM) on the DIS.

OK. I’ll come out and say I’m not one to wear a green Mickey Head or a Lanyard the whole time.

Is anyone interested in sharing pictures? I’ve set up a photo album on my Fotki page. It will eventually become my vacation album, but we could use it as a photo spot for this thread.

I have to say I’m all about safety and security. I don’t want anything to happen to my family or my house while I’m on vacation. So it will be password protected and I will only give the password to people on this thread. It will only contain first names. Let me know if you want the password.

Here is my soon to be vacation album with pictures of our cruise party.

Thanks Monstro...that's probably a better idea. As soon as Ppiglet gives me the go ahead on the name tags I'll let you guys know and I'll start wroking on them. I have to figure out how to use the program. I don't know how to attach a picture of that name tag...or Monstro are you not one to wear a name tag either? It's o.k. if you're not....it'll mean that I'll just have to study that much harder before we board.

 

[pppiglet]

OK...you can PM me with the password if you want. I want to see your group so I'll recognize you without a Green Mickey head on! Then I'll have to try and figure out how to get you a picture! I haven't gotten to use an online photo album before, but plan on making one for our cruise pictures when we get home so all the relatives and friends can see them.

I also was thinking the same thing.....Do I want to wear a lanyard everyday?!!! So that's why the Dis meet is good. You'll recognize my DH by the pool though. I let him pick out his own swim trunks and told him at the store to put them on the counter in the pile we were buying and didn't see them til we got home. WOW! He'll be the one that looks like he's on fire! He likes crazy clothes.

I'll wear a name tag at the cruise meet. I have a green lanyard and I'll wear it whenever I need to I.E. Shore excursions etc...

I sent you a PM with the photo password. Let me know what you think. I'd love to get pictures of everyone in the album.

 

[pppiglet]

Cute pictures and loved the storyline attached Monstro! It's going to be an excellent album I can tell. I can email you a picture...it's a year old, but we still look the same. Although my DS and DH have lost weight since then. So PM me with your email address.

 

[lkohawaii]

Ppiglet gave me the go ahead on the nametags.
Monstro...don't worry I won't make you wear a name tag for 7 days...just for the cruise meets...then you can pull it off and trash it. The photo's are a good idea. If I can put a name to faces before the cruise that'll probably help more than having a lime green something stuck on someone. As soon as I get the nametags so that I can edit them I'll post and everyone can start Pm'ing me. I don't want to have everybody sending info until I know I can do it. I'll work on it this weekend and probably post by Monday.

 

[Monstro]

OK. I've added pppiglet's picture to our album. I'll PM the password to everyone who has been participating on the thread. If there are more June 11th cruisers out there - we'd love to meet you. Join us.

HELP! I need more pictures to complete the lyrics. My email address is in the PM with the password.

 

[Dawnee]

Thanks Monstro for sending me the password. I think I'll have lkohawaii take a picture of me with her digital next week some time. Are we sending pictures of our family too? Or just the diser's?

Families are fun. But whatever you're comfortable doing.

Don't worry Dawn...I'll make you beautiful. You beat me to Monsto's picture thing. Must be stress is good for you.

Monstro...I'll take a picture of Dawn and her 2 kids at the least and then I'll send it in for you to post. To get Dawn's DH is a bit trickier because he's a working man. We'll get one into you somewhow. Hey, can you tell us the names of the people in the photos. I love it!!! I think there's a Boo family but don't know their names. I'll have to go back and look at our list and figure out who all these people are. Maybe it'll be a project for Dawn and I.

I'm working on the nametags tonight..so I should know in a few hours if I'm able to edit them or not. Then everybody can start pm'ing. I'll bring some extra's just in case more people show up.

I made our nametags. My friend came to help me. I had to put it on Printmaster...but he'll play with it on Word. If he gets it I'll be able to e mail you a sample. In the meantime....PM me your screen name then your name:
name of people in your party
hometown of people in your party
I'm putting the screen name only on the person's name that posts here. Look under Lkohawaii....if you look under I you won't find me.

Thanks for posting the name tag for me Monstro. We couldn't figure out how you could get it on your post. Where it says relationship on that green Mickey head is where your DIS name will go. I had to make a database and the "relationship" field is the field I put it in. Since Calvin is my DH he doesn't have a screen name and I guess on our label the field appears. When I print it's blank. So, PM me your familiy's info and I'll start putting it into the database.

 

[Monstro]

Hey, can you tell us the names of the people in the photos. I love it!!! Sherri

IKO,

If you open the pictures with people the names are listed in the descriptions.

I don't have names under all of them because I don't know how our Georgia freinds would feel about it yet. Our relatives are listed as Uncle and Auntie - They are my inlaws.

OK Stinasmom and Family have been added to the Cruise Meet Photo Album. They are in picture number 16.

That is sooo cool! I just showed it to my DH and he liked it too! I can't wait to see the rest!

I just read a great idea from another thread - they are having their kids bring postcards from home to share with the other kids - what a great idea - can you tell I'm a teacher? what do you think?
