I can see the top of the wonder from the Raddison web cam @ http://www.opusad.com/radissonwebcam/

Today for some reason it is a real good picture of it. I don't mind.

Do you have java on your computer? If you don't it won't work. Also, try re fresh. This is the link I use. Is it the same.

I know I can't waite.

It is just that we are leaving at night out of O'hare so you know how that can be.

I can't see the Wonder on this! Am I looking in the wrong place - it should be near the carnival one right?

Someone hijacked the camera and moved it, I'll get it and move it back.

Try taking control of the camara. Some one must have control and is moving it.

Yea, that's what I am using and I have Java and I still only see black. What's the deal??

 

[dvcoppenheimer]

since you live in fl are you driving right to the ship? We are staying at boardwalk for 2 night before.

first, thanks to all for the warm welcome. Another dis member tried to assist me early on but one thing or another prevented me from continuing communication. Now i'm back ( i hope )

i am new to dvc and just got booked on the cruise. I've been to disney many, many times. I am in the st pete/clearwater area (next to tampa).

I've made plans to tour kennedy space center saturday and will be at the hilton cocoa beach. It is unlikely that i will be able to meet you and your friends until cruising time.
I am still working out last minute details for this trip ( lots of factors to factor in )

any suggestions for me to help with my cruise planning? Like excursions i shouldn't miss out on or should pass up? Clothing i should or shouldn't pack? Besides the meet, how does your group work -- do you guys split and do your own things during the cruise and then meet up again at the end of the day to share?
Am i asking too many questions?

Alright, i'll let you be. Although i'm scared to logout as it seems a lot happens when i'm away

I can never get the port canaveral web cam. Every time we try to connect to it, it's black and then our router is crashed and we have to log out and restart the computer - so I've stopped trying. The Radisson one is new to me, but I can't find the Wonder.

 

[susieq55]

NOW I see her!! Thanks for that link!

Could be the setting on your computer. By this I mean maybe your security is blocking that site. I some times get a green screen or the black screen. What works for me is just closing the screen and re opening it.

Yes, I do know were that is. When my DS played College ball we were in the clearwater tournment. We flew into Tampa.

I would go on the site )DCL) and look at the excursions they have. I know allot of people are doing the parasaling. My DH is I am not. I think we will just have the meets. We will see each other on the ship and I am sure talk toe each other. If you have any questions about the excursions ask some one here may know.

Never feel you are asking to many questions.

See you soon.

We where going to leave around 4 but decided would rather safe vacation time for another weekend trip.

Midway is closer for us.

For us it is the opposite. DH has so much vacation to take before the end of the year the company made him take the day off. In fact since I am still not working we would like to leave earlier. We could go stand by but I looked at the flights a head of use and they seem pretty booked. We called and they want to charge us 100.00 a ticket. So we may have to stay at that time

No iphone, but I bought an ipod touch today...same thing, no phone...now I have to figure out how to use it...bad part of being empty nesters...no young person to show you how to use these gadgets...years ago when VCR's first came out, ours sat in a box for 6 months because DH had no idea how to set it up. Can you imagine him with the iphone!! That would be a waste of money...it does so much!

Thanks everyone for your kind words about my past situation with my daughter. Sometimes I have to think back on those days and just remember how bad it could have been and how blessed I am to have her in my life.

My oldest daughter said a very odd thing to me...she said she was being philosophical and thought that as you get older you love your children less...I said, "WHAT?" and she said, "Well, I look at Nicholas and you don't love me the way I love him." My response was, "Well, I can't very well pick you up, hold you in my lap, hold you close and kiss you all night, now can I?" and she laughed. I went on to tell her that loving a child means that you have to let go...you have to give that child the feeling that they can be independent and not dependent on you. "The first day you went off to school, I wanted to hold you and tell you how much I would miss you and how much I want to be there with you, but instead, I had to think of your little feelings, and tell you how special you were, and how much fun you were going to have riding the bus and being with new kids. And as the bus drove off, tears streamed down my face." She remembered then how everytime I took her to the train station when she was in college that I would just cry and cry...and she said she didn't know why I was crying when she would be back again next week. I told her that was because I instilled in her a sense of well being, maturity, and independence. That is what love is, being able to let go, to stand back and just admire that beautiful young woman I once held so close....
