10/24/2009 Bash On the Boat (I'm with B.O.B.) - Thread #20!

That's all I have for now folks, ran my battery down again loading the pics into photobucket. I can't find an extension cord and there aren't any outside outlets here at the trailer. So, it's time to get the laptop back inside and charged up. I can't pick up a strong enough of a signal indoors to use the wireless connection, that's why I come out front. Besides, it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice outside. Going up near record warmth here today 87* is the forecast high for today and hardly a cloud in the sky.......

Florida Outstanding Weather FO!!!

Beautiful pictures. What a great looking bunch. Looks like you all are having a great time. Weather also looks nice. Lucky you. It looks pretty nice here today too. Walt has already walked and is doing the Wi fit now. Diane

Thanks Di, we are have a very nice time!!!

Ok gang, I'll be officially ready to cruise in a few days!

I threw fashion sense out the window and just ordered myself a rashguard shirt from Lands End:

That will protect my shoulders from the tropical sun!

That would be great I know that my son will enjoy that and he is really looking forward to the kids stuff on the ship again.

It worked really well last time. I was concerned that Ellis wouldnt enjoy the kids club, but because he had a friend in there we couldnt get him out

I remember the one night we went to collect him and he said "I'm not ready to come out yet... go to the bar and have a cocktail"... gotta love that suggestion, so we did!

I gave Lina her first "Behind the Wheel" driving lesson last evening. Our property here is 10,500 sq ft and our trailer is only 12' X 65' so I had her drive around the trailer a couple of times. She was quite nervous, but did OK otherwise. Here is a pic of her "after" the lesson.

Good luck Lina

Great Pictures Karen. Diane

I love posting piccies - it seems to make the time pass quicker til we're back on a georgous beach somewhere

Ok gang, I'll be officially ready to cruise in a few days!

I am back at work after going to the gym. I had a great workout! We worked the back and biceps today. I will be sore later today and tomorrow!

I just sent in my request for room reservations for MNSSHP. I asked for a quote to Port Orleans Riverside, All Star Movies, and Pop Century. I really would like to stay at Port Orleans and hope I get a decent quote.

Sorry to hear that your daughter isn't feeling well. Do you have any picutres of Aleksandra? I think that we may have had her too on our last cruise and she was great with the kids. I would love to have her again.

No, I don't have any pictures of Aleksandra. I wish I did. She was really cool. Her and her husband worked on the Magic. He worked in Palo. She was telling us one night about it after Jay asked her to feel his flexed muscles. She started laughing and said that is what her husband asks her after he works out.

I'm thinking it may be the same person, our servers husband worked on the ship too. I will try and hunt up some pictures later today and figure out how to post them. I have no clue how to post a picture on here yet Any advice would be appreciated.

It looks like you have a wonderful family and the pictures of your dinner have me drooling. Time to go and find something to munch on ... maybe an apple so I won't have to borrow your old shorts .

Sounds great to me. Do you know if there is any girls around 8 going?

We got see some of the shuttle launch. We didn't hear it take off, but the dogs in our area starting barking like crazy, then a few seconds later we saw the shuttle's smoke, then the twin rockets separate from the shuttle. Lina and I each got some pics and video, I will post some of them when I can. I was online preparing to load the pics and videos in my photobucket account, but I lost the wireless connection. Will have to try again later.

I remember when we joined DVC back in 2001, as we were leaving BWV (that's where sales were back then), we looked up in the sky & we could see a launch in the distance. Even that far away it was an awesome sight!

I gave Lina her first "Behind the Wheel" driving lesson last evening. Our property here is 10,500 sq ft and our trailer is only 12' X 65' so I had her drive around the trailer a couple of times. She was quite nervous, but did OK otherwise. Here is a pic of her "after" the lesson.

Andy, is that your trailer or one you rent? Where is it?

Better late than never - heres the squashy chairs on deck 4 for Kathy

They were always empty after first dinner .. we'd go and sit outside for a few minutes - very peaceful

Great photos!!! It made me want to go sit down!!! That is one of our favorite things to do after 1st seating too! Stroll the deck a little...find a couple open chairs and enjoy the bliss!

 

[tomspixie]

MG--here is a pic of Pikey for you.....

Pikey always seems to take good photos!!! And everytime I see one, I have to smile!

If Aleksandra is married to Girish I know exactly who it is...and she is a truly LOVELY person. When we were on in September she was back home with Girish's family. Think she was having back trouble.

The cast members we love are so many...and so many are gone now...
Girish is Tom's favorite server, he has really enjoyed him in Palo's. Love Marco too...know he has moved up and was helping run Palo with PJ. We have loved Micho, Oana, Prudence, Olivier, Sameer, Orland and so many more in the serving crews!
LOVED Jerry up on deck 8 for room stewards...was incredible with our kids. Has remembered them whenever they have been on board.
Jonathan from Concierge...loved him when he was on the merch. team!...Erika too!
In Merchandise...Karine, MaryJo-who retired in October ,Andy, Hereana--no longer sailing, Kim--she has left as well, Sean--gone, Mischa--will be on vacation, Emmia-gone, Tai-gone, Renata--also gone. They have all been great!
We have always loved Brent, and Rachel is quite nice. Ray is great. Kaz was a dear and special friend. You have to love Pikey! ShiShi was a special CM to us! Douglas from the spa...switched to merchandise I believe. Renea' in the salon. Dusty in the spa. Truly miss Daniel from the spa. Eli also.
Edson has been a long time friend as well!

I know I have forgotten some...but best I can do today...tired!!! Not much sleep last night! UGH!

It has to be the same person. She is attractive with brown hair. I am really hoping she is back on board in October.

Our daughter, who turns eight this coming Sunday, will be on the cruise. Her name is Paige.

Looks like we'll be taking a ride down to Orlando tomorrow. When we got back from dinner last evening Hazel went to get her Diet Pepsi out of the frig, in doing so dropped a glass jar onto the glass tray that covers the veggie keeper. As luck would have it, the glass tray shattered.

The closest Whirlpool store is in Orlando. The glass tray cost $80.00, way to go Hazel......

You might find one cheaper at a glass store, just take the frame and they can cut a piece.
