Happy Birthday Anja, from Sharon, Ciara and Adaria. Just thinks two years from now you'll be able to brag that you have a birthday party with 150 or so of your "closest" friends.

Happy Birthday Anja This is from my dad also, because he is in Las Vegas for work.

 

[Viking]

Anja says 'Dankeschön' for all the good wishes'. She's still at home as she does the lateshift today while I'm already at work.
Talking about birthdays: Anja and I will celebrate our 80th birthday on the ship 43 for me and 37 for her

Jill,
we also worked ou every day since Monday and are feeling it now, but as one wise man once said 'No pain - No gain'

Cathy,
there were already requests for pictures of the Red-Butted Reindeer So far I refrained from publishing them as I'm still waiting for your cheque

Tiggerlvr91,
Las Vegas? For work You shouldn't believe everything your Dad says

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Barbara
:thewave: :thewave:

 

[Viking]

Congratulations on snatching post #100, Sharon - Ciara surely loves you for that

Happy birthday Barbara. Is it time to cruise yet?

 

[Zapp1213]

Okay, Gang. I have an idea.

The last thread ran for just over a year. Papa just posted that he's going to have them lock it. As of right this minute, there are 5,120 replies on it.

This new thread will run just over TWO years.

Let's have a pool to guess how many replies will post at sailing time (5:00 p.m. on October 14, 2006).

E-mail me your guesses & I'll keep them until then. Maybe we'll put together some kind of prize, reward, whatever.

Hope to hear from you!!!!

Good idea, Marianne!!
To prevent people from pushing numbers or so I would say you pick a date/time sometime before the cruise -say, two or three weeks prior- without publishing that exact date.

Thanks, all, for your welcome!

Scott and I have been looking through our pictures of this cruise and the last one... we got some nice ones. I need to put some of them into my Photobucket account and when I do, I can share them with you guys. Maybe then you'll say..."oooh, yeah! I remember seeing those guys!" How funny that we were right there with you, in the same hall, next door neighbors, even! and we didn't even know you... it'll all come together in 10/06!

I'm finding that subscribing to this thread has really helped to ease the Disney withdrawal, to stabilize my inner ear (the "boat" stopped "moving" about 2 days ago!) and to really get me psyched for 10/06! I'm still thinking how to finagle a Disneyland trip or two in '05, in celebration of the 50th... have a biz trip to LA in January, so I may drop in on the Mouse for a brief visit. But, as you know, nothing matches the enchantment of the Magic on the open sea..... aaah. 729 days doesn't sound that far away!

Have a magical day.
Michael

Mike -- Love the new picture! It is absolutely precious.

 

[videoman]

Thank you for the Happy birthday wishes (a little sad....first one w/out my Mom) - But I am concentrating on "positives" and can't wait to cruise again!

Laura-The pictures were wonderful...the girls want to get in touch w/you dd's and chat-they miss them already!

It was so good meeting most of you,next time we are going to make sure we meet everyone!!

Happy b'day to Anja also

Barbara

 

[RellingTwin]

A VERY Happy Birthday to you Barbara!

Michael...looking forward to the photos, and looking forward to meeting you next cruise. BUT...be VERY careful. Cruising with us my become a lifelong habit!

Mike (Papa) VERY CUTE photo of the grandbaby!

Marianne...great idea. I'll send you my guess soon!

Jill and Tim, I have you on my list for ERD. DH says he wants to be certified to dive by the time we go again.

Van...better get those girls certified!!

1971visitor...it was fun to meet you. I meet several people from your group (was even seated with Imsproutingears without knowing it). What a nice group of folks! Hope you can crusie with us again!

Happy Birthday Barbara!!!!

Looking forward to celebrating in person in 2006!
mjf2001...Too funny. Yes you are a Cruisetoberfester alright!

I transfered my reservations to DU today. I hope to get a FL resident discount, but that usually doesn't happen until right before we cruise.

There is not much info on Costa Maya. I looked at the link Eric posted, but there must be more somewhere. Oh well, I got 2 years to look.

[Twinave]

Reneé and Mike...LOVE the new pictures! Too cute!!1

 

[Viking]

Ave',
I learned today that a coworker of mine spent several vacations in the Costa Maya-area. I'll post everything worth knowing as soon as I have talked to him.

 

[Tulirose]

Made our deposit today to DU for October 14, 2006, Cruise!!! (Had to call papa for help because I had no internet access and didn't have DU's # and today was the last day! Thanks Mike)

Anyway, for our Fourth Disney Cruise we have for the Fourth time the best room on the best deck on the best ship (all subjective, of course) - Room 2064!! I was so afraid one of you guys would steal our old room from us but you didn't, so thanks.

Eric - I'll be sending our email shortly with all our info And we would be honored to dine with you guys again. Belated birthday wishes to Anja.

Painted the den today. Am exhausted. Still have one wall to go with second coat. Thank God for Leftovers because I'm not cooking nuthin!

Looking forward to get acquainted and re-acquainted with new and old Cruisetoberfesters!

This week we got some nasty mail in our letterbox: Our statements from MasterCard and Amex I hate those modern times. When I spent my first three weeks in the USA in August of '88 MasterCard needed well into December to bill everything.
On Tuesday I received my Amex statement already showing our transactions with CokiDive on St Thomas - That was quick
Now everything we charged in the USA will be taken from our account automatically on Monday or Tuesday. And the MasterCard statement of today already bills us for all expenses with DCL.
But with the great Euro/Dollar conversion rate everything was sooooo cheap. Even our downpayment for the '06-cruise just translated into €406, which sounds so much nicer than $500
