10/24/09 Bash on the Boat (I'm With BOB) Thread #11

2011 for us may end up being an early Christmas at WDW

Yes Sean's DD (because there is no way my DD would feel this way) says that cruises are boring and she just wants to do WDW for her grad present. With the new ship though I am hoping to convince her otherwise. Although we may have to switch to another line as well in the future or spred out cruising a little further, the price for Disney is getting a little spendy.

Karen - how did the other cruise lines compare? we may do a med one in a couple of years, in the summer so we dont miss scool

They seemed really cheap
Depends on the time you travel of course -
eg inc flights to Orlando, 1 week in Orlando then a 7 day eastern cruise - £1000 per person!

We may even consider a Europe cruise

Woohoo! Welcome aboard. I'll add you to the first page if you wish.

Oops I did the other day, getting you confused with someone else.

It's great getting that cabin assignment.

Cass, in case I don't get to post it before I leave ('cause the next few days are going to be crazy) have a wonderful wonderful time in Vegas! Happy Anniversary and Happy Eating ... I can't wait to hear all about it once we're all home again later this month.

Thanks B Coming home will suck but at least I will have your trippie to read, Mel's trippie to read and my trippie to write And some more weight to work off

Got a sore neck and bad but fine thanks.
we are staying in today, off to manchester shopping tomorrow.

Sounds delish Nanc I hope you all have a fantabulous time!!

Since I missed my workouts on Monday and Tuesday of this week(medical reason), I put in some extra time this morning. Spent 2.5 hours at the gym, my calorie burn-off this morning was 1500 calories and I also added in 120 tummy crunches. I was delighted to see the scale report that I lost another 2 pounds this week, bringing my total weight loss, on this my three month anniversary, to 20 pounds.

Good job Andy

Well, I just changed our one Category 6 stateroom to two connecting Category 10s. Based on this last trip I think EB and I had high hopes that we'd be able to all get to sleep at the same time on this cruise. Luckily we had a 1BR on our last WDW trip and that's when we realized how valuable having that second room really is. There is NO way I think we would get through this cruise next year without that separation!!! It is only costing us about $400 more, too!

That extra room will be great Mel!!

This should be a lot of fun...getting to know each other over the next 55 weeks.

As I have said before, this is way out of my element, but it will be cool to meet at the Radisson, then the terminal, and then see each other throughout the week as we sail on the greatest ship on the seas! For saying that, I have to add a pic! This one is on my office desktop computer.

I agree with you Chris It was really cool seeing people we knew all over the ship the entire week! Wherever we turned, there was a KKer And there's more BOBers than there were KKers, so even more fun!!!

I think my in-laws (and a few other fellow sailors too) were a tad bit jealous of our group We always had a blast
It was nice having a big extended family onboard

Oh Tanya thats so sad, we were really looking forward to spending time with you all next year. We had linked our table ressies to. Olivia will be gutted when she knows that she wont be able to see Claire again.
Keep in touch,and hopefully we will see you again sometime.
I can fully understand why you cant come, we have to take Olivia out of school so this may be our last time of cruising for a while.

We're doing 2 years in a row of pulling out of school for a week. This year after Thanksgiving break for WDW and next year for the cruise. I figure I am already pushing it with Megan starting middle school next year. I think we'll have to switch to summertime fun after that for quite awhile. But, you never know!

I'm sure Megan will miss getting to know Claire. She has been eavesdropping on the kids' thread for awhile and finally just logged on with my name after meeting Alex.

Also, I just realized that we are coming home on Halloween!

Many of us BOBers are going to WDW for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) after we disembark. I'm not sure if Cass has that list anywhere. We thought it would top off the trip well. There is also Trick-or-Treating for the BOB kids if you sign up with Cass. I signed up then realized Megan will be 12! Not sure if 12 year olds still trick-or-treat!

OOO, that sounds like fun! I've never done the MNSSHP! That is a real possibility!

Hazel and I had tickets to see the play "Mousetrap" at one of our local community theatre groups this evening. Since it is a murder/mystery type of play, Hazel wasn't really interested in going, so we gave our tickets to Lina and her friend Trish. Trish is going to school for law enforcement, so we thought she might enjoy the play. This is the theatre that we have season tickets for, we bought tickets for three shows and got three shows for free.

The next play is "The Music Man" on November 15th, I already told Lina I "will not" be giving those tickets up, but if she and Trish would like to go see it, I would see about getting them tickets. Trish and her mom went along with the three of us in August to see "Damn Yankees."

This theatre group really puts on some good shows. Hazel and I have already purchased our season tickets for 2009, and with doing so, we got two free tickets for the Christmas Show coming up in December.
