That is a good idea. I will get working on putting that on the cruise roster too. I like the idea of a Meet at the Cove Cafe (eclairs..yummy!!!) So are you volunteering to orgainze it? (I know you have alot with your vow renewal but I suppose it would be as simple as keeping a list of who plans on going and pick a day/time for it...)

 

[kamgen]

Lisa- I can do that!! Might me a fun adult meet....I was thinking sometime early in the day.....I will get some ideas from those who want to participate!!

Is it time to go yet? LOL! So much to do!!! Lose weight, book palo, lose weight, book Flounders, lose weight, book excursions, lose weight, book brunch, lose weight......

 

[Jennifer48]

I'll start!

This will be our first Castaway Club cruise so we are going to try to make an appearance at the Castaway Clubhouse party just to see what it is like.

St. Maartin--we are hoping to book the Under 2 Flags tour
St. Thomas--we are hoping to book the St. John Island tour.
Castaway Cay--

Lisa, the website looks great! Thanks for doing that.

We are thinking aobut the Doubloon Sail & Snorkel in St. Thomas.

We will also be dressing up as Pirates for Pirate night. I bought pirate costumes for the family last year for halloween.

We are thinking aobut the Doubloon Sail & Snorkel in St. Thomas.

We are thinking about doing that excursion too. Plus the 12 Metre Regatta in St Martin (before some serious jewelry shopping!!!)

Anyway, I have updated the website some more. I added CC (for Castaway Cay), DVC (for Disney Vacation Club) or B2B (for anyone doing back to back cruises) in the Hometown, State box. I went back thru some of the pages of this thread to try to figure out who was CC & DVC but I didn't go thru them all so if I missed you or have something wrong on the roster, let me know.

The website looks great. You have everything correct for us. I am soooo ready for this cruise. I am looking for a new job as we are "supposed" to get laid off. First it was May 1, then June 1 and now they can't tell us anything. DH's contract at his job is up this summer and we hope they don't go on strike. I have been looking for a job for a few weeks since I still have time. It has been very stressful. I really need some R&R. Hopefully things will start to go better soon.

Lisa, the cruise roster/web site looks fantastic! Thank you for all of the hard work you have put in on it and for making it for us! Everything is correct for our family.
We are also considering doing the Doubloon Sail & Snorkel in St. Thomas. DH wants to fish in St. Maarten. He and the friend going with us are probably going to book a deep-sea fishing excursion there. So DDs and I will be looking for something to do with the friend's wife and DDs on that day. DH told me to shop, and I do want to do that for an hour or so. However, I am looking at some type of tour of the island. I am not sure yet what we will do.

BTW, I will be planning to go to some of our meet/group things. However, DH will not. I love my man and don't want to make him out to be a "bad guy" because he is definitely not that! I just have to be honest, though, and say that he doesn't get into the DIS meet stuff. He thinks I am crazy for spending so much time here. He DOES like all of the neat, helpful information that I learn. He doesn't "get" meeting up and such. It just isn't his thing, I guess. I love it!

Thanks Donna!!! Hopefully things will get better soon and Glenn's union will not go on strike.

We are also considering doing the Doubloon Sail & Snorkel in St. Thomas.

It is looking like the Doubloon Sail & Snorkel is going to be a popular excursion!!! Tiffany, don't worry about your DH not wanting to participate in the DisActivities. My DH is not much of a "joiner" either but he will come along to humor me ;-)

GREAT Website Lisa ! Bravo on your first attempt!

[Lisa0503]

Thanks Ann! If I had not taken an on-line course on creating your first web page, I would have never figured it out. Now I am kind of thinking I would like to learn HTML so I can write the code for my own webpage... Maybe someday!!! I still want to figure out how to use my digital camera first.

I took a class in HTML. I thought it was pretty neat. I took alot of IT classes through work. We took 96 hours and I now have a Chancellors Certificate in Microcomputing from UMSL. Nothing fancy but it looks good for extra technical education on my resume.

 

[Lisa0503]

That is wonderful that your work will pay for things like that. Since I am a stay-at-home mom right now, I like learning new things since it makes me feel like I am doing more with my life beyond changing diapers & dealing with tantrums all day long Free on-line classes are perfect for me. It fits my budget and I can do the lessons when the kids are entertained or sleeping.

 

[LoriS]

Lisa, the website looks great This will be our first cruise as CC members, so I plan to attend that party. I am going to pm you a picture for you to add for us too. I hope that's ok?

 

[Bareacuda]

Thanks Lisa for posting our pic... and again, the site looks great!


Ann

 

[Lisa0503]

Lori & Ann - Thanks so much for the compliments. I am so glad you all like the new website. I am certainly having fun learning to build it & maintain it. Lori - I updated it this morning with your pic and CC status.

If anyone chooses to e-mail me, please put Disboards it the subject line so I don't delete it as spam. Thanks!!!!

 

[Bareacuda]

One day closer to the cruise!

Have any of you been dreaming about the cruise yet? I know that I always dream about my WDW trips months before I go because of my obsessive planning. Well, I dreamed about our cruise 3 times over the last week. I dreamed last night that I forgot to pack the Bonine for my DD and me. I also dreamed that it was raining and that we got so involved in discussing the rain and cancelled excursions that we forgot our late dinner seating! We rushed to try to get ready in time to eat. Then I woke up.

DH actually had a cruise nightmare a couple of weeks ago. But luckily he woke up too.

I just had to post my good news.... I got an e-mail from SouthWest and they are having a sale on the flights we booked for this trip. The flights I paid $158 for are now going for $99. I got a $236 credit on our flights!!! I could probably get a refund to my credit card but we are going to WDW in January so I think I will just keep the credit for those flights since we will be buying 4 tickets then.... Now I can hope that my $99 tickets go on sale again for $59 which was the price we paid to fly this past Sept.
