[Scouter]

Emily and I will head over after she gets her nails done--Homecoming dance tonight. Quantico Warriors won their game, 42-8, in the pouring down freezing rain.

Sure, you gonna pick me up this time Paige? Or leave me hanging like last time?

Will I be buying the first round??

Good morning by this time next week we will be in the air and on the way to Orlando and then the WORLD.

Dan

Hi Dan. I am all for you buying the first round. Lol.

 

[firefighter chris]

Who thinks we can wrap this thread up before the cruise? I also have a goal to reach 5,000 posts before the cruise. Can it happen???

I am sure we can finish this thread. No thinking here. Lol.

 

[firefighter chris]

That is so cool----I can't imagine my DH cross stitching

Are you saying husbands can not cross stitch? I learned how to do it in high school, and I love doing it. I might do some projects for gifts this christmas.

As for our excursions, we're not spending any money, so we'll either hit the free beach, or stay on the boat in the pool. We are planning on going snorkelling at CC tho.

I love this idea. But I think we are going to be doing the two flags tour as well as the skyride to paradise point.

Wow, I think we have a whole club of non seafood eating people on here

Steak and potatoes please

My wife can be added to this group. She does not like seafood.

 

[EPCOT_VA]

just think. 2 weeks from today we'll be getting off the ship.

robins soooooo gonna kill me for that. its the dawg house for me.

MIKE!! We'll have none of that BAD talk around here. (Where's Mr. Potato Head with his angry eyes) There shall be no talk about getting OFF the ship.

Good morning everyone! So much for sleeping in for me as well. Elaine had to leave to go to Hartford this morning and between her and Jay, they woke me up. Sam was sleeping over at a friends house. It's ok, I am watching Mr. Holland's Opus on one of the Encore channels.

Ok, I have a question...

Does anyone else "not believe" they are cruising in a week?? For me I "know" we are going but it just doesn't seem possible that we are actually going on this huge vacation we have been planning for a year. Its kind of a weird feeling, and I can't quite put my finger on it.

Anyhow, Elaine said she is packing me and Jay up tonight.


One of our "cheap garment" bags ripped when we were packing on the ship last cruise. We are squeezing everything into one garment bag this time around.

Chris, I can not believe we are one week away. It seems like such a long time ago when we booked.

We are staying at the Radisson because they had free parking for the length of the cruise. Since we are driving down - it's a great deal for us!!

That was the major factor for us also. Free is my favorite price.

 

[firefighter chris]

I don't think she has a red dress. Might be mistaken (and mostly am), but I'll ask her for you. I might even tell her that you say she HAS to have a red dress....

I tried this with my wife. I hope you have better results with yours. Lol.

Nancy - can I just tell you about the crazy dream I had LAST NIGHT?? It was not a cruise related one, but MAN was it bizarre!!

Apparently, I was pregnant and I didn't know it and I gave birth to a little girl named Lily. I do remember thinking - "Man, how are we gonig to fit an infant into the cabin with us??" I also remember thinking - 3 girls/???

Congratulations Angie

 

[firefighter chris]

All done with my quotes now. I am all caught up. I had to read forty pages, but I did it. Lol. Now when I get home from shopping and get all packed up, I will be so much happier.

Christmas 2005 pt. 2:

We got to make our own Gingerbread House:

Finished!

Formal nite picture:

Really big gingerbread house by the stairs under Shutters:

Least favorite part of the cruise - typical Landshark on St. Maarten:

And, a large formal night picture:

Love the photos Chaz!

Was this answered? I am going clothes shopping in two hours. Sorry if it was and I missed it.

As far as I understand it, jeans are frowned upon for the evening meal. The exception being if you eat at Topsiders instead of the regular dining rooms. I have only been on two cruises, so others please correct me if I am mistaken.

The polo shirt should be fine. No shorts. A nice pair of Dockers would work nicely.

Hi all,

We went out for our anniversary last night. Brought a great bottle of wine that we have been saving and guess what? It tasted like vinegar. Way disappointed, but the food was very good. I was so full afterward I kept saying "How am I going to eat like this on the ship?" I have been trying to eat so healthy lately that it is going to backfire on me. I am going to have to take stomach pills every day

Off for a long walk to try to burn off some of my prime rib!

Are they good stomach pills that make you feel like you didn't eat too much at all and absorb all the calories so you don't put on any weight?

 

[EPCOT_VA]

Can someone tell me if the blow dryers are decent on the ship or should I pack mine?

The blow dryers on the ship are pretty good. At least Beth and the girls used them without any problems last time. I'd leave yours at home and save the packing space.

This is one thing I do plan on spending some money on. I do have a digital camera, but I also would like to get professional pictures done.

They really do a great job with the photos. On our first cruise, I had a bit of sticker shock over how much we spent on pictures. But they really are worth it in the long run. You are buying memories.

I include the picture expense in our trip budget now.

OKO, the Carnival ship just sailed from Port Canaveral. I can now clearly see the Disney Magic!

What would be a good price to budget. I have an amount in mind, but I want to see how close I am, or how far off I am. Lol. Lets just say, I have alot in mind. Lol.
