Hi Brenda - you can edit our number down to 4 for our cabin. The twelve makes up my in-laws and another family that is travelling with us. I don't want anyone to get overwhelmed with the idea that there are 12 of us! Sorry if I confused you! I will talk to the others coming with us to see if they would be interested. My MIL probably would because she is great with Secret Santa type things. I'll let you know what I find out.
Thanks!
Susie

Hi, Susie. So is that you and your DH and your DMIL and DFIL? Do you have any children traveling in your cabin? In the meantime, I will edit the main cruise thread.

I know, it is so busy that first day. The life boat drill is at 4:30 then the sail-away party. And then you are right, then it's off to the cabin for luggage and to get ready for dinner. We have main seating, so we will definitely be busy.

Maybe, about 3:30 for an informal meet. How does that sound?

Sounds good to me.

We have two different cabins - the four in our cabin are my husband, two girls and myself. My in-laws are in their own cabin. Sorry for the confusion!

Ok, I see. I will make the correction.

 

[sunshine1259]

Okay, time for a little bump.

Hey, Brenda, I know it's been a while since we were here, but I did want to update the FE list properly. There are 36 of us in 10 cabins. 15 are adults, and the kids range from 3 to 16. I can get better numbers per cabin if you need them. Been so busy with life I haven't had time to come by and dream!

Okay, Cindi, I will update the list. If all the cabins are participating in the FE, then when will need to know who's where. Just when you get a chance. There is no hurry right now.

Good Morning, Kevin. I will chatting with you shortly.

 

[sunshine1259]

Hey, Everyone. This is a great place to gather information, take polls, post pictures and simply help each other plan for a great cruise.

Please take a moment to hope over to the yahoo site (you will need an invite from Kevin or me) and check it out. I will be using that site to create tables for the FE gift exchange and polls as to where and when to have get-togethers.

In order to get an invite to join the site, please PM Kevin or me and we will set you up.

Thanks,
Brenda.

Hope this finds all well. Yep...Yep...Yep...we have a web site on Yahoo Groups for 'just us'. This is by invitation ONLY!! It's a great enhancement to 'The DIS'...we continue 'talking' on this thread...and store/share information on the web site. Below is a screen shot of our 'Home Page'. As you see on the left (shaded blue box), we can; add files (word – power point – excel – Adobe), insert links, upload photos and photo albums, register in databases, answer polls and put important dates in the calendar section. Please…feel free to poke around…review and add information. I recommend starting with the database section. If you want a new database or poll…just ask – it can be in place very quickly.

At this point…the ability to post messages in Yahoo Groups has been disabled. I made this decision based on past experience. IMHO – it’s best we keep ‘taking’ via this wonderful discussion forum on The DIS – keeping it simple. If all decide you want this feature activated…I can make the change.

I’d be happy to send you an invite to review – enjoy…and hopefully participate. This is a great tool. If everybody shares, we ALL win. If you would like an invite, click on the below e-mail link…this will open a separate window as blank e-mail message – already addressed to my home and work ISP. NOTE - if it won't automatically open paste/copy the below e-mail addresses into a new e-mail. Just include…the e-mail address you want your invite sent to.

kevin.smith@appl.ge.com;d_Isigny@msn.com

Or...send me a Private Message -

After I process your invite…you will receive an e-mail from Yahoo Groups. The e-mail you will receive – will look like:
From: Seven_Days_of_Magic_Sailing_to_the_Saints moderator
Subject: Invitation to join the Seven_Days_of_Magic_Sailing_to_the_Saints group

finally...here's the screen shot of our site.

Not only did you get signed up...post in a poll...but you graced us with some of your photos. All I can say - is - WOW!!!

Dave...you have a gift. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Am hopeful to learn from you.

Hope all that have signed up on our Yahoo site...those soon to sign up --- will notice the talents Dave provided us. again...WOW!!!

Hope all are enjoying a great weekend. Me...I've been crazy busy this weekend.

Today...is a strange day. NO....not because it's raining (again) in Arizona ---it's because my baby (oldest) turns 16 - today. She gets to embrace a birthday milestone...I get to feel older - great trade off! She wanted to celebrate with diner at Margarataville. So...need to sacrafice and struggle through a 'Cheeseburger in Paradise' and an adult beverage this evening. Wish me luck to get through this.

More to post later. K
