Good Wednesday Morning All.......

OK, my Disney Cruise experience from May is finally complete.

While we were on our 3 Night Bahamas cruise on the Wonder, I struggled with a decision on the last day of the cruise.

I saw a wonderful watch in Treasure Ketch that I really liked. I only buy a watch every few years. I have my normal work watch (bought at Costco) that I wear every day. This watch was more of a dress watch and it looked and felt great on my arm. I wrestled with the decision whether or not to buy it. Apparently I took some sort of oath to myself to not spend anymore money after booking a "spur of the moment" Disney Cruise. Well, I didn't buy it. I told myself that even with duty free, it couldn't be that great a deal. (At least not at the price it was marked.)

I got home and checked online stores, ebay, etc. Guess what!? DCL was a very good deal after all. Not only was the watch more expensive, even online, but it wasn't readily available anymore most places.

After periodic checks on EBay, I finally found one with a Buy It Now! price less than what DCL was selling it for. (You see, I couldn't just buy the watch for full price. It didn't count unless I could get it for less than it was being sold for on DCL.) Well, I finally got the watch, and I saved about 10% over the DCL price.

The moral of the story is...

If you are on a Disney Cruise and see something that you want to splurge on (within reason), go for it! Don't count on finding it later when you get home.

We're back in the summer soup today with a high temp in the mid 90's and a heat index of 100+ this afternoon. Water, Water, Water, that is the answer for today!!!

Lina is going to be crushed when she finds out that her favorite Bennigan's has closed. Lina arrives home tonight from her trip to the shore and I doubt that she heard about Bennigan's closing on the news. Looks like dad might have to drop the bomb on her after she gets home......

 

[Verandah Man]

Time to get ready to head over to Riverwinds, see ya soon......

 

[Verandah Man]

But.......not before I claim this FO..........

 

[Verandah Man]

Oh Becky, before I forget. I was talking with my mom the other day. She and Walt are planning on coming over to meet us on Mon. Sept 1st at OKW, we are indeed planning on going to the port area for dinner and watching the Magic sail away. I might bring one of my work "Safety T-shirts" to wear. If you are on deck 9 or 10 looking towards Grills or the park next to it, I'm sure you will be able to spot our group waving.

OK, I've got to get a move on it now.........

 

[Verandah Man]

WOW!!! Slow morning so far on the thread!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

Off to work, see y'all later........

I got one off of eBay too Matthew. I bought it right after our first cruise in 05 and got it for a great deal. Can you post a pic of yours?

Mornin' Andy Did you ever try Propel water? It's lightly flavored but very good and refreshing. If not, then it's a good day for your "Smart Water". Gotta have those vitamins and minerals on days like this. SE Wisconsin is looking at temps with the high 90s for over the weekend. High temps and super high humidity make for one crabby MG.

I don't think I got anything from you in awhile. Are you mad at me too? Jeff is.

AFEG is snubbing all of us who aren't on the Repo cruise, Nancy. He doesn't slum it with people like us.

 

[oybolshoi]

I think it has something to do with the way we smell.

If we were French I don't think he would have had anything to do with us in the first place.

I'm out ... have a good day everyone!
