In just over 12 hours, we will be in WDW for 4 days! I need to finish packing and get to sleep... if that is possible at this point! I am way too excited to just drop off to dreamland!

Ohhhhkayyy...... So do they think someone is going to come and switch out the mattress?
I think your explanation is better!

I agree! I can't imagine someone deciding to switch the master bedroom mattress for the bunk bed one???

Just wanted to update you all on my brother-in-law. They have decided that his problems were all due to his diabetes being out of control. They want to put in an insulin pump, but they are still running up against the lack of insurance. They are still trying to get him signed up for a program of some kind, but no luck with that so far. Thanks again for keeping him in your thoughts!

It's good to know that they can proceed down the right path for him now. We will continue to keep him in our good thoughts.

Ok, I didn't get much uploaded tonight. But, you can see a few pics I posted on the Photography forum at the LINKY.

Oh my these are breath taking!

Official Cruise Shark Bait – calypso726. Official Cruise Shark Antagonizer – dvc_deernut.

These are easy:
(1) last cruise 2007 - food was very good, but not great. Will dining be the same? (I weighed 320 last cruise, 180 now - would like cruise to help me find the lost weight)

(2) Is there a convenient place to ship items home from port (or WDW)? Not sure if we're driving or flying.

(3) Still haven't figured out signature - guess I have till September

Thanks

Russ (will be celebrating DW's birthday and our 40th anniversary)

It was 39 degrees F with a 15 MPH wind while I was filling the car at 9:00 PM. My ears were frozen when I finished! I really *need* to get where it is warmer! Off to bed for a quick nap... Right now, I am a bit Don't think I can sleep quite yet. Have I mentioned that I am super excited about this trip? I wish I could just there!

 

[calypso726]

Ok, here is a new game. Can you guess where in the world (Disney World) is Duffy? Your hints are below the picture

My sister is a Beach
Or so they say
I face Crescent Lake
But you can also Stormalong my bay
I'll remind you of New England, Cape Cod & Nantucket
But if clambakes aren't your thing
Come to my Steakhouse where you won't have to shuck it!

Okay, I'll take a stab at it.

My guess is Yacht Club Resort, but I've never been there, so I'll just have to guess in the lobby.

This could be the beginning of an interesting game. Following Duffy around Disney and guessing where he's been. Kinda reminds me a little of the traveling gnome.

So the journey begins. It was 33 on the outside thermometer of the car when I pulled out of the driveway.

On the plane waiting to taxi to get to warmer climes!

Dan, I hope you don't return to snow on the ground (pretty sure Wally & Terrie won't have that problem)

I guess it makes sense to concentrate on the bath facilities. If I recall correctly, on a house, the best room to upgrade prior to selling is the kitchen where you get a near dollar per dollar return on investment. The second best investment is in the bath. Since we don't have a kitchen in our room, their second priority should be the bathroom, right?

As far as their poll, "Which cruise line has the best bathrooms?", I wouldn't really feel qualified to vote. Unless someone had been on most of the cruise lines, how could they make an honest vote? I would guess Disney would be a top contender, in part because of the recent press and, because I think they have a loyal following.

Thanks for the link Russ. Fun seeing glimpses into the new ship. I'm gonna look more closely at the facilities when we sail, so I can remember better.

Hurray! You got it!!! That's what I thought so, more to come...stay tuned.

Have a great time guys!

Thanks we will! No snow but it sure got cold here overnight! I think Dan brought some of his weather down with him LOL

Ok...I am jealous, no not of the 33 degree weather! We had that this morning too! But that you two are there are we are not!

It just make me feel good to know that the next time you will be there, we will be with you!!! (I think.... unless you two have planned another trip that I am not aware of!)

RevRuss glad to have you..

[DizDragonfly]

We will continue to keep him in our good thoughts.

Thanks! He came home last night. He's really tired and now has to adjust to a new plan for his diabetes. But, at least he has a plan!

Oh my these are breath taking!

Thanks! I picked up a few books on photography from the library and I'm excited to try some new stuff!

Glad to hear that he is home now.
