Hi guys,

Everyone else, take care and be good. We leave in 15 mins to go to the hospital to have this baby so I won't be around til the end of the week.

Byeeeeeeeee for now

Mel-

Congrats!!!! Can't wait to hear about it and I hope you and the baby are doing well.

I know it is really far in advance, but is anyone thinking of parasailing? I want to do it, DH won't, and I don't think my DD will be old enough.

I would love to as well. I wanted to last time but I was already spending alot on excursions so I passed. Maybe this time?! DH wantes to swim with dolphins. That would be neat too.

1,6000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL! Wasn't 1500 just yesterday?! So glad to see you on here Kristin!

Good Morning all.

Well back to work, ugggg a full week, first one for me since Dec the week of Dec 4th.

BLECH! I worked from 6:30-4:30 no lunch today. Now I'm just killing a few minutes before the kids and I do homework. DD has dance class at 7 so as soon as I get off here it's going to be go-go-go. Had to take a few minutes and wind down a bit.

 

[PrincessMom2002]

Thanks, got all of us there and back for $916.00~~~~ There abouts.......

I thought that was pretty good, now just have to wait to book my Oct. airfare for the cruise..............

That's pretty good! It costs us about $1100.00.

Well done! I'm (not so) patiently waiting for the fares to be released for December so I can book our tickets for the NYE cruise!

However I did book Magical Express transfers to VWL for my DD and I in May...

That should not be too far away that you can book..!!!!!!!

 

[kritter]

That's pretty good! It costs us about $1100.00.

I know I thought that wasn't bad..........

Which airline? Are you flying out of Windsor locks?

 

[caitlinsdad]

I can only guess what air fare will cost us, The last time I've flown was 1997.

Gee thats bad, I didnt get out of bed until 6:45am. Was at work by 8:15am Left at 5:30pm, don't you know someone comes up to my desk right as I was packing to leave too.

No we are flying out of White Plains been almost a year since we have gone out of Windsor Locks......White Plains is soooo very much cheaper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

White Plains is about an 1/2 from Here. I may need to check that out the next time we go to Fl.

I was just on a thread with some of the people I cruise with in 2006,

This is what they had to say about our thread.
Some of them are one the Aug 22 cruise.

"The Aug 22nd cruise has a meet thread going, though nowhere near as active as the Aug 15th thread. We're still trying to come up with a slogan.

I think you guys on the 8/15 Tortola cruise will set a record for most posts by a non-repo cruise.

I hope DCL keeps Tortola as a future port."


Now we have something to shoot for

My mom lived in White Plains for much of her childhood and my grandpa was a key person is designing and building the Nestle's plant there (if it's still there)!!!

Hey, as an Ohio State fan I gotta say GO BUCKS!! The game is currently on! I hope they win. Last year was totally embarassing!

Yes! We have a reputation to uphold now!

Check it out...It is soo much cheaper than WHite Plains...........

 

[hmansure]

Dare I ask what the record is?!

There's no way we can keep pace with some of you guys! Barely enough time to keep up!

I spent virtually my entire work day on the computer typing out our annual performance reviews. I have 15 people to review and although the process is on our intranet it's still time consuming and tedious. I try to not get overwhelmed so that I can accurately and fairly rate my staff. I'm trying to avoiding my home computer so I don't go nuts - or ruin my eyes!

That would be great, maybe we could all get on 1 excursion. My DH and I are talking about the swimming with Dolphins excursion in Tortola, looks like a nice one! Also trying to get airfare, Southwest is $98 each way per person, so we are looking at about $600.00. Our last trip was about $420.00 total, so I'm hoping the fares go down a little. I do have a $66.00 credit, I'll be using that.

I have a friend who lives in MD and they fly AirTran. Check it out. Usually $99.00 each way................
