Welcome aboard, Izza. Please send your info to the adress provided in my signature. I'll put you on The List as 'Status Red' meaning 'not yet booked' and will transfer you to 'Green Status' as soon as you've booked.

HI Ave' -I'm not Nancy, but I haven't read Jester, but I just read his new one - 3rd Degree. That one was very good. I will be reading Jester as soon as I'm done with another book I'm reading.

Welcome to all newbies.

See everyone soon in DC. So what are we planning on doing after meeting in the lobby of the air and space museum?

Welcome Izza!

Thanks to Emmie for doing the "kids list"!!!

OH why, oh why, do the weekends go SO Fast???

 

[@GoofyNut]

Just taking a few moments to check in and gt a glimpse of what may be up .... actually I really need a DIS fix.

Tried to decorate the outside of our house for the "Bunny"..made the mistake of thinking my lights worked fine till it was dusk and they were set to come one ... well now they don't work and I was too pooped to mess around in the snow flurries to re-do them. Hoping it gets a little warmer today so I can tackle that when I get home. Trying to at least make it look a little Eastery even if there is *&^%$ now on the ground!

Got a whole pineapple at the store and as I was picking it out heard a girl say ... "It's still not like it was on the cruise" ... needless to say, I almost asked her if she was on a Disney ship.
I miss Scoops and Pluto's.

Peter and Jenn ... I really feel for you guys. I was so down when Cindy passed on but after about 6 weeks Art drug me to the local Pet Day at our Humane Society and voila, I found AshLee. There she was looking very much like Cindy and in need of a home. You'll know when you are ready to give a wonderful happy life to one of God's creatures.

To all of the newbies ... welcome ... the more the merrier!

Eric ... found some rainbow balls with fins for some fun at Serenity Bay.

Well back to work .................. (Darn)

Welcome to the newcomers!! Please post and join in.

Love the tropical Mickey. Tried to get into it over the weekend but something was wrong with the work server -- the emails go to my work addy which I should be able to access from outside of work but alas it wasn't working over the weekend due to upgrades or something.

Noticed on the list that Sarah isn't coming? Mary Jo is she just too embarrassed by you finally???? But you did get free flights by being bumped -- that was so funny sitting at the Radisson listening to your story Friday night the last time.

Really looking forward to the cruise.

It's nice and sunny here but could you send some warmth? It's like -10C here today and boy was it cold and windy here yesterday. Couldn't believe it.

DS and I went to see Hidalgo yesterday afternoon and I enjoyed it.

Monday morning -- weekend do fly by don't they?

[Twinave]

Renee', I will probable start Jester in a day or so. It is my "on deck" book. I haven't read 3rd Degree yet, but will put it on my list. Jusy love Patterson!

Cathy, I got the Antigua stuff. Thanks a bunch. Sorry your Bunny lights aren't working. Better Hop to it!

Later, Ave'

 

[Izza]

We're booked!!!!!

Yea! I am SO excited.

 

[papa]

Jenn I will call you in the am. Mike

 

[Viking]

Izza,
please send your info to antiguaorbust@yahoo.comantiguaorbust@yahoo.com to be put onto the List and to receive regular updates.

To Everyone:
The next update will be done during the Easter Holidays. I just learned that upon my return from London I'll have to take some work home, which has to be done on Sunday 04/04/04
We'll leave our car in the company garage while we're in the UK, so I have to get there from the airport anyway.

Cathy,
looking forward to bombing you out of your tube on CC Perhaps I can purchase some torpedoes at the Imperial War Museum in London

 

[Izza]

What information do you need for the list??

 

[jeanniec]

Izza -- So happy you are officially booked on our cruise. What category did you get?

Ave' and Renee' -- I will be interested to see what you think of Jester. I, too, am a Patterson fan. This book is completely different than any of his others. I tried to plow through it but finally gave up. Very weird to me!

 

[padisneyfan]

I bought 3rd degree a week ago, but just haven't had time to read. I have been working on my scrapbook in my spare time. Nearly have 2002 trips completed. Plus have both son's books current.

Very busy at work so need to get to it.

Nancy

jeanniec,

Actually that's a good question. I had them quote cat 6, decided it was too much and asked them to quote cat 9. In the meantime, I changed my mind again, sent them another email and booked the cat 6. When they came back to ask if I was sure, I mixed up my numbers and said that yes, I wanted cat 9. So, they changed my quote. And then I caught my error and (completely embarrassed) asked them to change it back to cat 6.

I was so exhausted yesterday, and the boys were running around like little boys do. I'm just so glad it all worked out. They processed my deposit, so we're officially booked. And they made sure DCL knows about the boys' 3rd and 5th birthdays onboard.

Now, someone please give me tips for waiting patiently for 6 months.

 

[cdnmickeylover]

Waiting patiently for 6 months? Now that's a joke. If anyone has figured that out please let me know too. I was ready to get back onboard the minute we left last October.

It's still cold here although by Friday it's supposed to warm up. The snow is gone so everything just looks blah. Sunny, cold but grass is brown and yucky looking and the trees are still bare.

Busy day at work today. Have to struggle with a computer program -- when it works it's great, when it doesn't? well let's just say that I talk to the computer a lot. Did 10 documents yesterday and it took an hour -- today I should do 50 documents so let's see how long that will take.

Take care everyone.

Fiona

It sounds like you're in category 6. We might even be neighbors.

The info that Eric needs for the list is: e-mail address; names (first) & ages & occupations; Kids names & ages, Dinner seating (main or late), stateroom # if you have it, home (location), hotel you are staying at the nite before the cruise (if you are) and special occasions which we know are the birthdays. I think that's about it.

Being addicted to the DIS cruise board is the best thing I can do to keep me content until we sail. If I can keep reading about DCL, it's almost like we are there. Not quite, of course

 

[bettemom]

Hi Guys,

Kim here...

Dinner Updates...

Since we have sadly lost Amy, Chris & Emily and the new baby for our cruise in October we do have room at our table for a party of two, ( could fit 3 if a smaller child) . If you would like to join our table you would be at early seating with... cdnmickeylover ( fiona & Jim) , Bettemom ( bette & Kim), Piglet33 ( Renee', Lenny & Haley) and JeanneC ( jeanne & Sam).

With the exception of JeanneC we all ate together last year on the cruise. We are a fun group for dinner, we really like musical chairs, our poor waitstaff... they were so good to us.

So if you want to join us then PM me with your names and Disney Reservation # so my TA can link you into our group for dinner.

Now on to fun stuff...
For anyone who is bored on May 15th come on to New Hampshire, that is the day of our siding party, of course we do not pay but feed you really great .... I can't wait to start after all the delays we have had. Of course we hope the snow id gone by then...

So long, back to work,

P.S. Mary Jo did you get the info I e-mailed this AM ??

Ave, Appointment on 4/12 I will let you know how it goes. Ask away, I am glad to return some info to you.

Perfect!!! Thanks a lot, Jeanne

Izza,
as I'll leave for a week of sightseeing in London this Saturday, I'll probably won't find time for an update this week, but I'll send you the most recent copy of The List as soon as your info has arrived.

 

[Viking]

Oooops:
As we say in my profession: Forget all after "Good Morning" - Meaning everything said before was plain nonsense

Izza,
got your mail - Having dinner in a couple of minutes - Doing update after dinner.

 

[@GoofyNut]

Hopefully this is a good sign ... some of the Canadian Geese have landed on our lake. Looks like that "couple" is back from last year and the momma is already sitting on the same nest
she had last year ... the "baby" watch is back on. I guess you can say it beats watching the grass grow!

 

[Viking]

List #11 is in your mailboxes - Check it out and please officially welcome Izza and her family.


Cathy,
over here the forecast predicts snow again - Fortunately only for teh Eastern and Southernmost part of Germany. I already switched to regular tyres and wouldn't really appreciate snow

Another My dentist made an x-ray today and on Tuesday after the Easter weekend I'll have a root-treatment He prophylactically prescribed me some penicillin and a pain-killer for our London-trip. Please keep your fingers crossed, that I won't need it.
Jenn,
Anja & I today brought some revenue to one of your local colleagues: We both had the full program today and already scheduled the next for the week before we leave for the States.

OK, that'll be all for tonight as 'Sex & the City' will start soon.

See Y'all

PS: I mustn't forget to send the PDF-List to that computer-handicapped gal from the South
