4500

 

[Viking]

We got our docs!! We got our docs!! We got our docs!!

Our stateroom is 7629, which puts us in our 'usual environment' after having cruised in 7122, 7123 & 7124. All four staterooms are Deck 7 Aft. We're neighbors to Fiona, JeanneG, Ave' and Alan.

Congrats on snatching #4500, Van
And my condolences to Ciara fo not snatching it

Ciara...you're slipping...#4500 was out there waiting for you to grab it and what happens...you're in school!!! Oh well, you can try for #4600!!!

No docs here yet, either! Almost accosted our temp mail carrier when he arrived. All for nothing! After looking at Erics master list and the deck plans, I have decided it is a good thing I went crazy on some extra door magnest. If DH and I just aim for a green shirted Mickey, we could be end up in someone elses room! It is our last day at work and then our 4 day break. Time for some quality time! Hope everyone has a great weekend and remember - Take it easy on your USPS person!

Thank you, Sara'sMom from PA, for letting me know about the Grand Pineapple Resort in Aruba.

Piglet33, are many people from the Oct 2 Magic cruise going to the Grand Pinapple in Aruba? Do they charge $45 per child also? Do you know how much a taxi would be from the ship to the resort?

Thanks for your help. This will be our first Disney cruise. Can't wait!

The magnet making station has been closed.

I just used the last of the magnets for Arlene, ciadriamom, and sparrow_of_tortuga.

Thanks,

Reneé

Jill -- About car-surfing -- my secretary's nephew's friend was killed last weekend riding a skateboard hanging onto a car. The skateboard hit a manhole cover and he went flying and hit his head. Unfortunately he wasn't wearing a helmet. He was only 16. All of the kids involved are traumatized by what happened and it's such a tragedy.

Jim hasn't said that our docts have arrived so I'm assuming they haven't. Hopefully they will soon.

Nice that we will have so much company around our room. We debated being on deck 7 as we did like being on deck 2 last year but decided to go for it.

Can't wait to see everyone -- much better than work!!

Ciarra,
Sorry I grabed 4500 from you. I'm sure Kylie will let me know about it tonight.

Is anyone in the Military/Police/Firefighter wearing their formal uniform on formal night? I've been thinking about wearing my Army Blues and got approval from my chain of command. It will be a great opportunity to get a nice picture with the family.

Has anyone seen this on past seven day cruises. I've seen posts about it but I haven't made up my mind for sure yet.

 

[Viking]

Yes,
I've seen it on board, but not very often.
We even had a lively discussion about it some time ago on the Debate Board

Great afternoon!! Tried calling my SIL & BIL in VB and Betty actually answered the phone. They got their electricty & phone back last night so they can buy food now and eat it in air conditioned comfort. Much sooner than my other SIL who lives in VB part-time predicted.

But the best news was when I called home to tell Sam that Betty and Dick were back in their house, he told me that our docs had arrived today! Hip, hip, hooray!!! I am so happy. Can't wait to get home and look at them myself. Unfortunately, today of all days, I am going directly from work to babysit my DGS so that my DD can go to a PTA meeting. So I won't be able to look at them until about 9 pm. I no longer have to worry about whether we REALLY have a reservation.

Hi Everyone, Just sitting here trying Not to tune into the weather channel. I am a little burned out on hurricanes. I refuse to believe FL will get hit again. It's just not possible.

We found a dress on e-bay. DD is also going through that hard to fit stage. But the dresses have measurements listed. So I used these to guide me. The dress is ordered, so well have to see how well we did when it gets here.

No doc here. We didn't get them early last year either. I am taking a day off tomorrow! I have my list of things to do and things to buy. And I will do my best to get as much done as possible. Plus I would love to sleep till 8am for a change.

Eric, So glad you got your docs!

Hi to Rosemary!

Time to watch Jepordy!!!! Go Ken!

Later, Avé

Army Blues on formal night look great. As a Vietnam Veteran I think that anyone that is serving or have retired from service honors us all by wearing their dress uniform. Mike

Congrats to all of you with your docs no docs yet for us

Eric - I hope you and your wife have a safe flight and the weather does not interfere with your plans.

I did not know men wore their dress uniforms on formal night. Could dh where his fireman blues?

I am finally planning our Antigua day & have decided on a 1/2 day tour. I have a list of a few recommended companies. Would anyone like to join us? We're thinking historic sites, beach, & lunch. PM me if interested.

Reneé

Renee: No PM, and just like a kid, now I need to know what it said.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! You are the magnet queen. Drink of your choice on me (at least two).

(Hope to be able to find it and calm down on the drive to the port!)

If yours shows up, can you ask if it's seen mine, I think it's whereever my magnets are.

 

[two-foxes]

I'm thinking (or is it hoping?) CC will be a go for both.....even though we had no excursions for Key West planned, I'll still be a bit bummed if we don't go.....It was going to be our last liquor store stop, too!

I bet I can find the fritters around, but I saw this place called BO's on the Travel Channel and my mouth was watering at the sight of them!!

 

[twhipple]

I need some help from someone who is planning to shop downtown at St. Thomas. I'm not sure if I'll have time to get there after our excursion and need to get something for a gift. PM me if your able and willing to help

The magic usually docks next to the havensight mall in St. Thomas. Mike
