10/02/04 Antigua Cruise

[ciadriamom]

Twinave: I'm glad you were able to get it, we had a power surger at work which knocked out our fax lines, they're hoping to have them up by tomorrow.

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Ave...no problem...I faxed it out as soon as I got to work this am...just remember that you owe me a movie on the cruise...LOL!!

 

[ciadriamom]

I was looking at the Antigua excursions and the Jolly Roger looks like sooo much fun. I was considering taking the 1:00 trip, leaving the am open for touring the island and shopping. Anyone have any info on the Jolly Roger?

MaryJo, do you think I'll have enough time to do the island tour we were thinking about and still make the Jolly Roger?

Thanks Mary Jo!!
Eric, If you bring me a CD so that I can do Words I will love you forever!
Mike, How is your brother-in-law doing?
Sue, Nice to hear from you. Don't worry about figuring us all out, that's what name tags are for.
Half a day of work tomorrow, then my doc boss lady goes on vacation until 8/2.
And only 3 days till twin sis gets here.
Hope everyone is having a great week.
Later, Avé

Hi Ave,

Just sticking my nose in... Do you need software for Microsoft works ?? If that is what you need, ( obviously I have not read the whole conversation) then I have 2 cd's that are not used at all that are works 95 & works 98. PLMK if you need them.

Bye, Kim

Ave,
you might be better off with Kim's stuff, as I would bring the Office XP (Please don't tell Billieboy from Seattle )
Just let us know which one you prefer.

I want your countdown timer Eric!!!

It's really warm and humid here today but there's a smog advisory and they are calling for thunderstorms so it doesn't look that great out. Our dog has been going nuts the last few days because she definitely doesn't like thunderstorms or rain. She just shakes and quivers and pants til it's sunny again.

DS leaves Sat morning for the rest of the summer so have some things that I'm supposed to pick up for him. Have to admit he's been really good about being up and out the door by 6:30am every morning. This will stop the minute he has to go back to school though.

Told him that kids go back to school starting in August in the US and he was amazed. He doesn't go back til Sept 7th and he thinks that's too soon!!

Have a great day everyone!

You can have it on 9/11/04, Fiona
Today I found two more nice gifts for our favourite Canadian Shuttle Service
Summer has finally arrived: 34°C/93°F We nearly melted in the gym while doing our 5-mile-run, but cooled down later pumping iron for an hour in an airconditioned classroom.

Maryellen,
I received two cryptic undecipherable mails from you

 

[Twinave]

Kim and Eric, I hate to sound like such a computer dunce, but I have no idea which one I need. This is what happened: My computer has Lotus and Adobe. A friend of mine came over and installed Micosoft Word. It worked great, I was able to do all the things I wanted to, including downloading the cruise list. Then my DH crashed the computer. Wiping out everything. (He does this every once in awhile for some reason known only to him and the computer gods.) Well my Words was gone. I am way too cheap to buy the program, so I limp along without it, depending on kind souls such as yourselves to convert files to meet my needs.
It's a sad story I know. And I throw myself at your mercy.
Mary Jo, Not only is the movie on me, I will also spring for the popcorn.
Got to run!
Later, Avé

Ave if you need the list in PDF I will be happy to send it to you. Mike

 

[bettemom]

Ave,

Sent you a PM...

bye, Kim

I've had computer problems all week....can't get into my email, never mind post replies. I'm using someone else's computer right now.
I notice alot of people have mentioned being paid in full and it just occurred to me that I haven't received my final bill from DCV. I recall getting one for our August cruise about 3 weeks before the payment was due. Has everybody else gotten theirs? Please let me know.......
Congratulations to Fiona on the new arrival.
Renee: glad Hayley had such a great time at Sesame Place....it seems like only yesterday we were taking our kids there.

 

[jeanniec]

Jeanneg -- I paid our bill ahead of time so I could get extra Disney Reward Dollars, but as I recall, the final payment is due 60 days before the Magic sails. On our original documents, I believe it said the date for final payment was August 3 which gives you about 11 days to get your money in. I would start checking if I were you. Don't want to miss the fun!

 

[two-foxes]

OK, finally PIF for both cruises....ouch. But it does make it seem so much closer now!!! It will all be worth it, though! Has anyone requested to recieve your documents early? Did they come early? The DU rep told us that our docs would be in 7-10 days before the cruise, but we'll be either in WDW or on the 9/25. She said the concierge at DU can get them to us early, but I am now just a tad worried.....

Good thing Tim doesn't read these boards, but I booked an event through Gifts of a Lifetime for his birthday. It is the "Epcot Amazing Race" and he'll LOVE it!!! They will make him do all these tasks from drinking to putting puzzles together, all to find his birthday gift. Can't wait for that either!

Sounds great, Jill. So he'll have to do police-work to find his gift - Should be a piece of cake for him

Thanks for your help, Mike I always send the List twice: In Word to everyone, as a PDF to Ave and Kim & Bette.

I also had computer problems this week. It partially crashed but DS#1 had to erase everything on the harddrive and reinstall everything for me.

I have had problems with my sciatic nerve since Monday and have terrible pain down my leg. It was bad enough to send me off to the Doctor. It is slowly getting better, but still painful. At least now I can walk around better than I could on Monday.

Since the computer is now function today and I have time to kill while being home. I made our car rental reservations and post cruise hotel reservations at Port Orleans French Quarter. Next I need to decide on a pre cruise hotel. Since our flight doesn't get in until 11pm we might just stay near the airport and then drive over to the Port in the AM. If we don't do that will probably just make reservations at the Radisson.

Rainy here today.

Nancy

 

[Twinave]

Thanks Mike, but as Eric said, he always sends me my own list. What a guy! It was the kid list I couldn't get, but Mary Jo faxed it to me. What a gal!
Nancy, Sorry about your back/leg pain. Glad it is getting better. Please Everybody: STAY HEALTHY! Eat your veggies, buckle-up, look both ways, don't run with scissors. Now that we have all these new friends we don't want anyone to miss all the fun.

Twin Sister will be here tomorrow! Can't wait. DH will be taking Geogre and the boys fishing early Sunday morning. Then we will meet up with them for a picnic lunch and some water fun at Shell Island. Just hope the weather co-operates.

Later, Avé

Ave' - How neat to be a twin! It must be an amazing experience.
