Nothing beats the washer/dryer in a villa. I get to pack a lot less if it's just a DW trip. Let us know how you like BW. We were thinking of switching our reservations there- but decided to stay with BC this time.

Packing less, just the reason for the washer/dryer! We should have a meet and greet before the cruise! I think anyone who staying at WDW the night before we should all get together!

I realize that I've not been around much lately, but I did want to let everyone know that we won't be making this cruise after all. Between finances, school, and the Member's Cruise, we just can't swing it.

Drink a Bahama Mama for me, and have a great time!

 

[dzneprincess]

ahhh Karen....I hate to lose you but I certainly understand your reasoning.

Were going to be at the Boardwalk Villas for pre-cruise. I can't wait! For our honeymoon we were sooooooo broke we could barely afford Pop, but we had the best time and love the resort. So this is going to be a real treat. But I can tell how that we are adults now beacuse I was so excited to have a washer/dryer in our room so we can have all our clothes clean for the cruise!

Ps I forgot to congratualte Amanda on post #1200 in our thread! woo hoo WTG Amanda!

Then I am not alone - I decided to cancel my gym membership since I am not going at all. I have a treadmill in my living room since I complained to my DH that I couldn't use it in the garage b/c it was too hot in there. Now I look at it every day and swear I will start tomorrow.

Let's not give up yet (the optimist in me talking). We still have 5+ months. April will be the "new year" so let's resolve to start w/our New Year's resolutions next month. I say this each month too.

This is so funny. I had friends over a couple weeks ago and I was using the old "my treadmill is out in the cold, smelly garage, or I would be burning it up" excuse to. They guys in groups offered to be gentlement and they brought it in and put it in my living room also. We all took turns using it that night. (You've not seen funny until you see a bunch of half wasted drunks trying to see who can turn the treadmill up the hightest without stumbling off.) Unfortunately, the thing hasn't been touched since.

However, my best friend and I have vowed that tomorrow is the day. Her son's basketball practice is at 5:00. We are meeting there to begin our walking routine. We have decided to try the low carb diet. It works faster and I don't have to live on vegetables for months.

Just think of all the alcohol you burned off!

We replaced at a higher rate than we burned it, believe me!

Have you looked at the Med. cruises? I really had not even thought about it until today. I read a little and now I'm very interested, especially in the reop cruise. My problem is that we have never cruised before. Our Sept. double dip will be the first for both me and my DD. I'd like to wait to make sure that we enjoy that one before planning another, but at the same time, the prices are already so high that I don't want to let them go any higher. The deposit for the two of us will be $1000.00. Do you know if that would be refundable if we decide to cancel after Sept? What do you think about such a long cruise? What do you think about six days straight at sea?
