Eric, when I took the kids to the beach near my in-laws house we could see the ships just off shore, working on the Hunley. When it was finally raised, and towed to it's present sight, all the church bells in Charleston rang! Thousands of people lined the Battery to watch as well as went out in boats. It was quite a day in Charleston.We could go see it when you are in Charleston if you'd like.

Sure, would love to!!

Thanks a lot, Peter - I'll inform you instantly when I get it. But we have a long holiday-weekend this week as Good Friday and the Monday are off so it may take a bit longer. I already have orders from friends who want to have copies!!

Hi guys,

Kim here... Just back from my business trip but here is a short update,

Mom is doing better, but still in the hospital. The Anesthesiologists
have a sub specialty that is for the management of cronic pain and how to relieve it thru injections in the spine. These guys are going to evaluate her today and start therapy. Hopefully she will be home in a few days feeling mucho better... You are all welcome to call her is you want, Fiona and Mary Jo called and she loved it...
If you want her # you can PM Fiona or Mary Jo or myself, however I am burning the candle at both ends right now so I may not get the message soon enough..


DINNER RESERVATIONS..

Denise ( Friendly) you are all set and officially confirmed a diner at the BEST dinner table

Bye Kim

 

[jeanniec]

Kim -- Hope your mom starts her injections soon and that they will take away the pain. Sometimes the first one is not that effective (altho it can be), but after a series, people usually feel much better. My SIL had really bad back pain a couple of years ago, had the injections and she has been fine ever since. I am assuming the plan is for her to have epidural steroid injections which is what the pain control anesthesiologists usually do. Good luck to her! I am feeling OK but very, very tired.

Kim ... give Momma our best wishes.

Jeanniec ... Take Care, and just think you can eat whatever you want on the cruise without pain! Hey, it's something to look forward to.

MaryJo ... Did you try doing the "beer bath" for precious? That is what AshLee's vet does ... tell's the "parents" to bring in the dog or cat with a 6 pack of some kind of beer and that's what he washes the animal with. I'm not sure but I think it's the yeasr or something in the beer that does the trick. Doesn't she get sprayed a lot? Maybe it's time you sit her down and do a lesson on what type of kitty's are good and what type are bad to play with!

Got our new vehicle after work last night . Geez it has a lot of buttons, bells and whistles. No just have to try and learn them.

JUST WONDERING ... has anyone seen the Toys-R-Us add with Jeffrey and the multiplying bunnies? That's hysterical.

Gotta get back to work ............

 

[fridayfun]

Kim, thanks for getting us situated! This trip is looking better and better! Now to figure out if we are going early to stop at any of the parks! DH would love to, but saw how much it would cost to stay at his favorite hotel (polynesian) and almost gave him a heart attack. He didn't realize the price, as last year we got that 7 days for 4, what a great deal! Holding out for something like that again! Take care everyone!

FridayFun - Welcome to our table! We had a blast at dinner last year and are looking forward to it again.

Welcome to the fun Fridayfun. I will echo Renee and say that yes dinner last year was a blast. Wait til you see cutie Haley in person -- absolutely adorable. Jim and I still talk about how great dinners were on the cruise and how much we missed everyone when we had dinner had Palo (which we won't be doing this year)

It was great talking to you too Kim along with your Mom yesterday. Hopefully she'll be home for the weekend.

Waiting for the lastest diasters to happen here at work. Yesterday it was the fax, today the accounting software decided to stop working although it's back for now. Can't seem to get any files finished. It's actually starting to be quite funny.

Now if only the Blue Jays would win tonight.

Fiona

 

[papa]

Sorry that we missed you in DC Renee. Looking forward to seeing everyone in October. Welcome to all of our new cruisers. Mike

 

[fridayfun]

Pardon me, but I just have to say it - GO TIGERS!!!!!

 

[Viking]

Thanks for the pics, Mike & Jeanne

Just in case the rest of has forgotten this: If you want your picture to appear on our web-site you should mail it ASAP to cruisetoberfest2@aol.com til noon Good Friday !!!!
Do NOT send your pics to the Yahho-Account!!!
The pics should be JPEG-formatted, and should notz exceed 300x300pixels. But if you don't know how to reformat or resize your pics, send what you've got and I'll do the extra-work. Nevertheless I'd appreciate adherence to above mentioned limitations We have a really sickening forecast for the Easter Weekend Rain, sleet, thunderstorms, low temps, etc.
Originally we planned to do some cruising with my ex-wife and her hubby in our convertibles, but now it seems as I will have plenty of time to work on the homepage


For those, who don't know what I'm talking about: Last year I made a homepage with pics from most of our cruisers, adorned with our DIS-name and first names. This was intended to put faces to the names and facilitate recognition when meeting for the first time.
About 6 weeks ago I offered to do the same again and got some positive response, but so far I only have pics from the veterans and two 'newbies'
As building this homepage is quite time-consuming I'd prefer to do it in one big effort and then just add a pic from time to time, so please send your pics within the next 48 hours - Thanks You!!

SEND YOUR PICS !!!!!!! Or I will look on the web for some fun-pics and put your names on it Ooops, that was my evil me speaking

Go Jays Go

We have to win one but I suppose it's nice for the Tigers to finally win some games. The Jays seem to have little trouble beating the Yankees or Boston but have trouble with Detroit and Tampa Bay. It's a strange thing really.

Hi, fridayfun! We're looking forward to dinner with the group which sounds like lots of fun. It's nice to know that there will be another couple of newbies besides the two of us.

 

[Shooter]

We booked for this cruise back on our November Western trip because of the discount and onboard credit knowing that we could cancel.

Thought seriously about cancelling and doing something else but was notified by TA yesterday that we were upgraded from a Catagory 12 to a Catagory 9 Oceanview Room.

Family (DW & DS10) didn't want to cancel but I did. Thought three times in three years was too much but today when I went to the DCL website to view a Catagory 9 (we have stayed in 11 & 12 two previous years) I got to the site's homepage and heard that music and saw her docked in Castaway Cay my heart melted. I could think of no where else that I would rather be than there.

Look forward to meeting you all then.

 

[RellingTwin]

WELCOME Shooter! Nice to have you with us!

Hi 1971visitor! Nice to see you posting (even if I don't know what you said!)

Wir wohnen in Frankfurt am Main. Euer Deutsch ist sehr gut!!! Wir freuen uns auch, Euch zu treffen.

Mary,
they asked where we live in our country, and that they're pleased to meet us on our pleasure trip.
Having two more persons on board speaking German means that they, Jeanne, Anja and I can point fingers at people, say something and start to giggle
