10/02/04 Antigua Cruise

Must admit #2 is my favorite too cause it's my hero - Goofy. Then because he's hauling all the "stuff" that us tourists usually have and lastly because you hear that phrase more than once when you are on the ship! Once I saw that clip-art I just had to make it into something ... and he's legal cause it's from a Disney Print program that I bought and paid for ... as long as we don't exchange any monies, he's ok.

Maybe for the back each family can use whatever one they want as long as the fronts are all the same???

For the cruisers that have not done this before ... it is so much fun to enter the terminal and be able to look for the shirt ... then VOILA a new friend or two or maybe 30!

Maybe just a word of caution ... us past cruisers usually carry on like long lost relatives with the hugging and kissing. A word to the wise ... the teenages usually run and hide. You know, "They're not with me!"

Number 2

Congrats on post #3100, Cathy

susan&will vandyke,
if I remember it correctly we even have a single mom on our List

Love the designs -- front and back. I would choose #1 as my favorite for the back, but they are all good!

 

[papa]

I'm with Cathy everyone put the same one on the front and whichever you like for the back. This is going to be one great cruise again. Mike

I like them all but I agree that if everyone has the front then we can pick our favourites for the back.

Just want to echo Cathy -- it's great to wear the tshirts at the terminal -- even the CM's will recognize it. When we checked in we knew that Eric and Anja were already there as the CM said that he'd already seen the logo. The CM was amazed when we knew that the passports were from Germany right away!

The tshirts were helpful in picking out people in line because we had not met everyone prior to going to the terminal.

Also for the newbies please don't hesitate to come up to anyone wearing the tshirt. Everyone is really friendly. Can't wait for the cruise to come around again.

Back to work for a bit -- 4 messages are blinking on my voicemail and although I'd like to leave and ignore them this might not be a good thing. Darn that.

Mike -- Cute picture of Katie!! Fiona

Thanks Fiona. The US soccer team plays the Canadian team here saturday. Mike

OMG I LOVE all three. How can I choose just one? Maybe I'll buy myself 3 white t-shirts, and put the front logo on all three, and the a back logo on each. Then I can choose my back logo depending on what I plan on doing that day. This will also cut down on my new clothes list. Just stock up on white t-shirts. LOL

susan &will, I can't speak for the rest of the gang, but DH and I did not really spend a lot of time with each other. He was often off with the "boys, and I was often off with the "girls". We've been married 15 years. This is not like a honeymoon cruise where everyone is clinging to their new spouse. I think he will get out of it what he puts in. Just MHO.

Cathy, Great Job! We LOVE You!\

@GoofyNut, how did you know what I looked like going to the beach??

 

[Hygiene99]

We like 2 also that Yuo Eric...

Here's another vote for number 2!!!

susan and will -- I'm a single mom with a six and 13 year old, i'll volunteer to hang out with your bil - although I've heard great things about eating alone at Palo, I really didn't want to do it alone.

With the ages of my dds and our prior DCL experience, I am not counting on my dds keeping me much company. Would be nice to have someone to pal around with!

That's not to say, I'll be alienating any of my new found friends!! I plan on being an equal opportunity "third wheel"

I am happily off work for the WEEK Don't have to go back until Tues 7/6, so I am sitting back with my margarita now!

Tim and I will celebrate our 2nd anniversary tomorrow, so we are headed to the mountains for a couple of nights of camping with Orion the dog-faced-boy (our dog!).....we wanted to do a romantic stay in a bed and breakfast (with out the dog, of course!) but that stinking final payment is coming up!

Then Tim's brother (who I don't play well with ) is coming for a visit, so I will again hit the camping trails with my parents (although you can't call what they do camping....it involves showers, ovens, DVD players and air conditioning!) So you all have a great week, a very safe 4th, and talk to you when I get back! (I have a feeling I will make time for some internet between camping trips, though!)

 

[RellingTwin]

Another vote for #2! Love them all, but #2 is my favorite!

Happy Anniversary Jill and Tim. Have a great vacation!

Susan and Will....I have to agree with my twin on this one. My DH and I did lots of things together, but also went our own way too. DH favorite thing to do was to walk the decks at night after the kids and I went to bed. He would chat with anyone he ran into. He also did some hanging around the pool with the kids while I did the galley tour, or shopping ect. This is where our walkie-talkies came in handy.

I took today off and spent the day at the beach with the kids. We had a ball. We love going to the beach, but going on the weekends is so difficult. There is so little parking, unless you go EARLY in the morning.

Hi Folks,
it's time for another update, which I will do tomorrow. If you have any requests for changes/additions please send them until tonight.

Happy Anniversary, Jill & Tim
Ours is coming up, too. We have a special one this year: We married Friday 13th of August 1993, and this year 08/13 is a Friday again.

Got your mail, will do update tomorrow.

 

[susan&will vandyke]

Hey -

Just started checking out this site. My hubby and families are cruising on 10/02 antigua cruise (our second DCL trip and everybody else's first). What is this "list" everyone keeps talking about?

 

[RellingTwin]

Hi susan&will ! If you look at the bottom of Eric's (Viking's)last post you will see a link to Cruisetoberfest. This is where you send your information. Real name, age, occupation,hometown, cabin #, dinning time, where you will be staying the night before the cruise, and any special occation you might be celebrating while on board. Eric will add this info to "The List" and e-mail you a copy. This info is NOT posted publicly anywhere. Please feel free to leave out any info you are not comfortable sharing.
The list is a way for us to get to know a little about one another prior to sailing. It is also a way for us to have an accurate count of our group for those of us who are bringing little items for everyone.
It is all in fun. We will meet for the sail a way party and say hello, then we know what other's look like! They when we see one another during the cruise we say HI!
Several of us are doing excursions together, and some are dinning together.
This is my 4th time sailing with a DIS bunch and it's a load of fun!

Hi susan&will,

Welcome to our "little" group. I just sent you a PM.

Reneé

Well said, Mary Thank you

I've cought the mother of all colds I stayed home today and wll do the same again tomorrow. Got more than 100°F right now. Unfortunately I have an important meeting Thursday morning: I arranged a presentation of AED (Automated External Defibrillation) for my company which will take place then. I want to convince our CEO to get two units and have to be there to present my case.
I push comes to shove I'll take some medication, dreg myself to the office, and get home after the meeting again.
We lost one of our employees just 10 days ago: He stepped off his plane (Small Cessna, he was an instructor), walked some paced and collapsed. Major coronary He kind of called for it: 30 lbs overweight, heavy smoker, but he was only 56!!
Sounds harsh, but I'm going to use his case in the meeting to emphasize the necessity of getting the AED-units. This could have happened at the office as well. Thank God, it happened AFTER he left the plane!!! 5 minutes earlier and he would have been on final approach over a densely populated area.

OK, gotta catch some Zs now to fight that cold

Don't forget: Update tomorrow!!! Susan & Will, please try to submit your info tonight to be on the next edition of the List!!

 

[Zapp1213]

Oh gosh, Eric! How awful!

Isn't it sad? Just 30 lbs overweight is considered obese. And it's so easy to put weight on nowadays.

Susan & Will--welcome! I have had the best time since I've met up with this board. I'm sure you will, too!
