It is nice to be able to do that Karen.

Hope that all is well with the group tonight and looking forward to the cruise more each day. Mike

This is number 1400 posts for me and Kathy. It is raining here again today. That makes over 5 inches of rain for us here in Nashville during the month of July. Highly unusual.

I have booked marked the national hurricane center website and refer to it every time we book a cruise. Keeping our fingers crossed for our continued good luck with storms for the remainder of the year

Everyone have a good night and we will see you in the morning. Mike

 

[Twinave]

Wow, ya'll are amazing!! Can't wait to meet you!

Jul--Thanks for all that information on the Stingray excursions. I think we might do Island Tour and then Snorkeling. That way see more than Stingrays, plus do tour first and cool down with the snorkeling. I think in all my research I saw someone said that one is smaller group. The more information I get the harder it is to make a decision. I see from the counters that I still have 6 days to figure it all out. DH will just go with whatever I decide. His only request is the Tulcum ruins.

Mike---Could you send some of that rain to PA?

Quiet night on the boards.

Rellingtwin and I have been working very hard on these excursion choices. Looks like we will do the Fury Cat in Cozumal. DH will do the dive in Cozumal, and all of us will do Capt. Marvins in GC. Trying to get DH into the real planning stage of the trip, but he is not a planner. He loves to get there, just doesn't want to know the details. But I LOVE the details!
Goodnight everyone! One day closer.

TwinAve-- The reason I enjoys these boards so much is you can bounce off questions and get information to help make those decisions. My DH just enjoys going and lets me do all the over planning. He just says tell me to let him know where to be and when to be there. I guess there should probably only be one overplanner in each family.

Have a good night.

Goof Morning everybody ..... Can't wait to say that as we are meeting for breakfast on the ship

Nancy ... Didn't you get any of the rain last night/afternoon? We got a lot in the Poconos (even caused a really bad accident). Hope it helps out our straw ... oops I mean grass. Are you guys the Eagles fans? Can't wait for the football.

Dennis ... Three choices that I can think of:
1. Gift certificate for another Cruise
2. Some Disney Cruise Jewelry (from the ship shop)
3. The Disney Ship Radiko Christmas Ornament
(I know I spelled the name wrong!)

Mike ... You better be off of that leg when you are reading this

Mike & Kathy ... Congrats on the 1400. I just got a quote from my DU agent (Regina ... love her) for Port Orleans/Dixie Landings
(Riverside) for $99 = tax @ night. All I have to do is call with the deposit for one night. Hope yur monsoon stops soon.

Check back later ...

Hey Cathy and crew. Just got back form the doctor and you know how it is when we have a few sunsets under our belts. More Prescriptions and he gave me a shot of antibiotics where the sun don't shine . Have to go back tomorrow for another one and friday for followup and one more shot. I even have to pay him for this

Just put together a mosquito trap that runs on propane outdoors to try and rid us of this mosquito problem. Anxious to see if it works as advertised.

Looking forward to our breakfasts at topsiders Cathy and beating our gums. Tonight is Kathy's last night for a few days and we will try and decide on a few more excursions when she has had some sleep.

Dennis you could get her a new car or a getaway with some of her girl friends. A new computer or digital camera would be nice for her also. Mike

sorry to hear about your Cellulitis..........Guy had Orbital Cellulitis several years ago........VERY VERY VERY ugly stuff. Caused by HIB- so they were VERY upset about it. Started out as strep, and they put him on antibiotics for two weeks, after about 10 days he got a sinus infection and his eye started looking weird, they didn't catch it then, and he went to his 24 hour shift at work and his EYE was literally bulging out of his head. He left work about 3am and he drove himself to the hospital. They slammed him into the hospital for 7 days in a private room, then he was home for close to a month longer after that. 2 more weeks at home on an IV. I had to leave work twice a shift and go home and hook him up to his bottle. I hope that you are doing okay.

I want to go cruising with you guys so bad......you don't mind if I lurk a little do you?

smiles Patty

 

[papa]

Patty it is me Mike that has the cellulitis. Sure wish that you could go with us and we welcome your lurking Doing ok buttocks are sore from anitbiotic shot this am.

Tell Guy that you and Mutt and Jeff need to go with us in order to maintain your sanity Mike

 

[@GoofyNut]

Mike ... You should charge him to see your tush (Hey I kept it clean), maybe you could earn a few more $ for excursions. Just Kidding I saw a thing on TV about that mosquito thingy and they said it really works. Curious to find out from someone who isn't getting paid to push it!!!!

Patty ... Lurk all you want, Maybe you can get things changed around and come with us.

Hope everyones day is better than mine ... full moons stink

Back to work .....

 

[RellingTwin]

HI GANG, I e-mailed Capt Marvins last night to add an additional adult to our group (TwinAve DH is coming with us after all). My reservation is for my family, TwinAve's family plus @GoofyNut.

I mentioned in my e-mail that we are part of a group call the "DIS" and that several more would, or already have booked for the same trip. She replyed today saying there are ALOT of folks from the Magic booked for that day and could I send her the names of the people in the DIS group so we could be put on the same boat. SO..................
IF you are going on the Capt. Marvin 1/2 day trip 10-1, and would like to be on the same boat as us please e-mail me with your first and last name. I know many of you gave your last name when you sent me your info, but since I only put first names on the "LIST" I may not have your last names any longer. (I was having computer probles and deleted much of my "old" mail)
ALSO, I do not wish to presume you want to be on the same boat!I'm not THAT pushey!LOL!

 

[Tiiiigergirl]

OOOO my head hurts. I have either been working, doing home work or sleeping (not much). This screen keeps jumping even without the little green men.
I'll be happy to go on vacation and have a break.

 

[Twinave]

Papa, I have Never seen a doctor give an injection. Did he really stick you? Or did he leave that up to his trusty nurse. Hope you are feeling better.
TiiiigerGirl, I'm right there with you. Work, more work, then home to housework. Will Sept. 28th ever get here?
Peagreen, Lurk all you want!
In the last few days I have started talking to my fellow employees about the cruise. Today one of the file clerks was very suprised to hear that this is my FIRST cruise, she said she just figured I had gone on many trips since I was so organized. They all want to go! Later!

 

[papa]

Ave it was one of his trusty nurses. One of the few times that a woman other than the one I am married to has seen that particular piece of anatomy and she stuck me with a syringe

Mary please include Kathy Worrell with your dis list to capt marvin, on the 10 to 1 cruise to stingray city. She wants to be on that boat also.

Cathy the mosquito magnet is in the backyard and it seems to be doing it's thing.

Have to run now, oh by the way hi Tiiiigergirl. Take it a little bit easier and do not work so hard. Mike

 

[snelsonbrown]

[peagreenid]

I'm tired, its been long long long nights at work lately and I try to stay caught up, but sometimes it is tough. Sometimes I get confused who is typing........... . Well I hope your Dupah feels better and your cellulitis is gone quickly..........

I'm lurking all I can.............
my new thread hasn't been much fun........ :-(

smiles Patty

 

[@GoofyNut]

Mary ... I don't have my list with me BUT I'll try and PM you with the last names that I have gathered if you'd like. Mine is Werner
... for Captian Marvin's. Is that just a swim with the rays or do we need snorkel gear?

Mike ... How's your tush and leg? Art Said HI ... his dad had that problem a lot with the cellulitis and his sister has it too. That's who told me about the wound care center ... she said the treatment was painful but worked realllllllly well.

Headed for the laminators to get the last few name tags done.
MARY ... I used a regular circle hole punch so they can go on the laynards...if that won't work, let me know.

Even though I've done the name tags, don't expect this little mind to know you all I do know there are multiples of Dan, Mike, & Amy on this cruise.

Sitting here fantasizing about going thru the Big Mickey Ears and the gangplank at Port Canaveral on our way on the start of a Magical DIS CRUISE

Can't wait -- check back later.....

 

[VondaP]

I have been looking forward to this cruise so much, I am dreaming about it. DH has been travelling out of the country a lot the last year. He is only home 4 days a month. I can hardly wait to spend a full week with him. No phone, computer, nothing!

I wonder if we'll end up like the lady on the DCL commercial?

Our last name is Ponder, 4 of us booked with Capt. Marvins.

Vonda - yep my name rhymes, what a curse!
