10/02/04 Antigua Cruise

[papa]

Ave have our fingers crossed that Ivan dies down and does not touch the panhandle.

RCCL sounds good. Might be nice to try something different. Love Disney but everyone needs a change every now and then. Mike

If anyone besides me was staying down in Cocoa Beach, check your hotel. The Doubletree is closed for at least 2 months for "renovations" aka hurricane damage. We were able to get resies at the Radisson. So when and where is the party at the Radisson?

Allen



Are we there yet??

 

[RellingTwin]

Allen, there is a get together at a nearby park (waiting to hear if the park is ok after Frances) in the late afternoon, then in the evening we will get together at the pool at the Radisson.

New path for Ivan showing a move to the West (away from Panama City Beach!) Yipee!

We got our docs on Friday after we'd left but they were here for us when we got home.

Weekend camping was fun but tiring. It was really hot during the day and really cold during the night. We ended up coming home Saturday night and then going back out again early Sunday morning. Jim's grumpy when he's cold.

Am still tired this morning although I think I fell asleep before 7pm last night.

Well have to go get ready for work -- yeah only 12.5 work days left.

So sorry to hear about Sophie though. What a horrible tragedy. I was really hoping that Sophie would pull through.

I like to think of myself as the CC good luck charm. Out of 6 cruises I've only missed CC once.

hello all

well i am getting frustrated. as i have stated before this is my dd autumn's make a wish trip. well we feel so uninformed. MAW is going to give us our papers for the cruise on sept 25th. so thats one week before we cruise. i am the type of person who likes to be totally organized when i travel and i do not feel that way since i have no info except that the limo is getting us on friday to take to milwaukee where we are flying out of and that we are booked on the cruise. i am not even sure of stateroom numbers or even the cat. god i hate feel like i have no control. i am truly grateful for this trip dont get me wrong. but i WANT to be organized.

I am pretty sure the whole Lebanon Bunch (MCA/PIXIE) are staying at the Raddison. Did you get the $89 rate. I'm not sure when the party is. See ya there. We can't wait!!

I am so sorry for Sophie's Family ... Such an awful tragedy. I just keep trying to think that God had a mission for her on earth and that may just have been to bring families closer and get us to pray to him more. Bless them all.


Hope Ave is safe and that Ivan misses her.

RCCL sound good to us too ... they must have a Discussion Board that we can invade! My only request is that we try and depart from either Jacksonville, Tampa or Port Canaveral so we can still try and do a few days after cruise in WDW with our extended family of DIS'ers. We've never done any other line than DCL and will need help with how to's.

Back to work ....

The Wonder is in Charleston right now ...

I didn't realize that the Wonder was going to Charleston. Was this port to replace CC? Mary should run down to the Port and take a few pictures. If on our DCL trip we end up in Charleston we can all go to Mary's for lunch.

I had only read a small amount about Sophie but it so sad.

I hope Ivan looses strength and doesn't hit Florida again. It does make our snow and ice not seem so bad. Now check with me in the winter to see if I feel the same way.

RCCL Mariner of the Sea which is a Voyager class ship sail out of Port Canaveral. They are a Sunday to Sunday sailing. So you could spend a few days at WDW post cruise. Cruise critic has their own boards and has seperate threads for different sailings. Also RCCL has an onboard reception for people who register through Cruise critic for a meet and greet. Light refreshments and prizes. I think you need 25 registered to have it. There are several of us interested so maybe we can plan something either the last week in Oct (Halloween cruise) or beginning of Nov. I can bring my RCCL information with me for anyone who is interested.

Nancy ... A Halloween Cruise with our bunch could be scarier than you can imagine. Maybe fun idea.

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

GoofyNut...GET BACK TO WORK!!!! My in-house vacation is slowly coming to an end...boss back tomorrow.

 

[usetheforceluke]

Hot off the 5:00 p.m. (2100 GMT) press:

A tropical storm warning has been issued for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

A tropical storm watch has been issued for Antigua and the Netherland Antilles.

Both courtesy of Tropical Depression Eleven (maybe soon-to-be-called Jeanne.)

The bulletin said it was 'poorly defined'. Let's hope this one goes somewhere else.

Jim.

DARN! I had no idea the Wonder was in Charleston! I was just downtown, but I drive West to get home and the port is east of where I work! If I had just checked the boards at lunch time I could have gone up to the top floor of the hospital (wonderful view of both rivers!) and see it. I'm sorry that the weather is so yucky!The Wonder has been here before, running from a storm.
If our Magic cruise comes to Charleston, I'll be happy to play tour guide!

Another cruise on RCCL!!! Count me in!!!I was looking at a cruise with them next Oct. Any week is fine for me. I think Halloween would be super fun!There is a cruise critic board for RCCL! Not as much fun as the DIS boards but still a fun way to plan our cruise!

I'm wondering if there will be ANY ports LEFT to visit after this hurricaine season

 

[1971visitor]

[jeanneg]
