We'll be it that area too! 7122! We moved there when JeanneG moved over one and were so excited to go on to deck 7. Forgot to send you the update though!

Thank for all the good wishes for our flight. For those of you who want to follow our progress (Like Mike did in 2001), we will be on US0893 FRA-MCO, ETA in MCO 1952 (0752pm).
I just booked a night at a DaysInn in Orlando and two nights at an EconoLodge in Savannah. Going to Crystal River would be a waste of vacation-time with Ivan approaching, so we decided to tour another gem of the South. If the weather is bad we could even go to the Airforce Museum in Savannah. Anybody been there?

And here comes an urgent last minute request: Does anyone of you have the possibility to obtain a broschure of the new Mustang from a Ford-dealer? I'd do it myself, but out of experience I know that those cardealers don't really appreciate foreigner who have no real intention of buying.

Mustang info is no problem..Friends are Ford dealers.will pick it up today..

Have a safe & uneventful trip....AND as with everyone of us...THANK-YOU for all your work on the lists...

Eric,

We've been to the Airforce Museum. It's pretty cool. They have lots of different planes and a really nice memorial area. Only went there once when we went to visit the Mother-In-Law. Thankfully, we haven't been back to Savannah since that's where she lives.

Oops, I almost forgot to wish you and Anja a very safe trip. See you in a couple of weeks.

Have a safe trip Eric & Anja!! Can't believe you're leaving tomorrow. Thank you for doing such a great job on the lists, once again. See you on the 1st!!

Eric and Anja...have a wonderful and safe trip. Hopefully, Ivan will stay far away from you. Savannah is one of my favorite cities to visit. We did the trolley tour (you can get off and on as you please) and went to see the house from the movie, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (I think that is the name of the movie and book!) and the Juliet Low house (Girl Scout founder). There is a great little restaurant in Savannah which is called "Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House" --it is a famous Savannah landmark so everyone knows where it is and you just look for the line forming on the front walkway and smell the great food. Mrs. Wilkes died last year (she was in her 90's). When we ate there, she was still quite active and was helping to clear the tables, etc.

Avé and family...stay safe with the approaching storm. Can't wait to see you guys and have my movie partner back!!

Eric and Anja-

One more wish for safe travels. Enjoy the movies on board! Thanks for all your hard work on the lists and we'll be looking foward to meeting all of the cruisers on 10/02!!!

 

[twhipple]

Eric and Anja, I hope your trip is uneventful until you get to Savannah.

 

[padisneyfan]

Eric and Anja have a safe trip to the US and see you in 3 weeks.

Mary--- I am going to work this week on printing out the logos. I will let you know if I need them sent to me. Thanks for offering.

Ave--- Hope Ivan misses you.

Everyone I hope you have a safe and dry weekend.

Arlene-- Isn't Andy's family in Fl? Were they in the path of any of the hurricanes?

Hope you have a smooth flight over here, Eric & Anja. I think you will love Savannah. We were there only one time, but I would love to go back. So many fascinating buildings to see. Sam, however, is not that interested in history. He said "they should knock these old buildings down and build something more modern!" Can't believe I have stayed married to him for so many years when he comes out with comments like that. See you soon!

Nancy:

Andys parents live in Boynton Beach(West Palm Beach area). They were lucky and only lost some of the screen panels over their pool and their power for about 18 hours. My brother lives in Boca Raton and when I finally was able to talk to him on Monday he said they went down to his in laws house in the Keys on Thursday but as of Monday they still have no power. I guess now that Ivans coming his in laws will be coming up to him. He does have a boat down in the Keys so I hope everything is okay for all of them.

Thank you very much for asking...Cant wait to see you and Norm again..

Eric and Anja: good luck on your trip. hope all goes safely and well.

I truly hope that we are all able to make it to florida and enjoy our cruise together.Lets all hope this is the last hurricane till at least the end of October..

I just got an e-mail from the folks at the Eco-Tour in Antigua. They said Ivan missed them completely. And thier island is ready for a Dis-Invasion!

Enjoying my first day off in almost 3 weeks! Slept in, finished my lastest Nora Roberts' book, going for a haircut in a little while, then shopping. I hope to finish our t-shirts this evening.

Mary, Good luck with your garage sale tomorrow. Make lots of money so you can spring for the Bahama Mamas at CC.

Later, Avé

Just had to do the Doc Dance!

 

[@GoofyNut]

Most Importantly ... ANJA AND ERIC, PLEASE HAVE A SAFE FLIGHT!

Secondly ... Those of you in Florida (or who have relatives there), guess you need to batton down the hatches again with Ivan. Please be careful and don't make the mistake Shirley made. If you stay, don't venture out until you are absolutely sure all is well.

Called DCL and got the UPS tracking # for our documents. They were mailed yesterday the 9th, by 3 day delivery and are "scheduled to arrive 9-14-04". Maybe it's me but that seems like more than 3 days .

They did say Port Canaveral is back up and running again.

At least when I was on hold for 20 minutes, I got to hear that wonderful music fromthe Disney Dreams Show! AH!!!

Well the good news is that it's Friday but really wish I was all packed.

Back to work .....

 

[dan and scott]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to stop in and say hello to all the veterans!

We are alive and kicking! Just got back from Paris 2 weeks ago and leave for the Magic this coming Thursday!

Papa-sorry I missed your call-I don't have your number or I would have called back.

@goofynut-thanks for HUNTING me down-I was trying to hid-LOL

Take care all.

Dan

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Dan...were your ears ringing around 1:45 p.m. today...Cathy (goofynut) and I had lunch today and I asked her is anyone has heard from Dan and Scott--hope all is well and we will miss you! Have fun on the Magic and hopefully, you will have smooth sailing! We had to cancel out of the repo cruise next August as Sam's plant went out of business and after 33 years there, he is now out of work! I'm thinking of getting my dog a paper route..she is soo cute and I told Sam that she would probably get good tips. She has gotten so lazy that she used to get up with me in the morning to go outside, now she sleeps in and goes out when Sam gets up!!

Everyone in Florida...stay safe. Hope Eric and Anja have a smooth flight.
