10/24/2009 Bash On the Boat (I'm with B.O.B.) -Thread #6

[JOANNEL]

It's really nice here today, but tomorrow is supposed to be bad. Why is it every weekend for the last few weeks has been yucky. I have yet to work on the tan!!! I got homelast night and there were six kids in the pool. I am glad someone is enjoying it.

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

That's 8 rooms right there and that's only a small fraction of the Bobers.

You can add us to that list - 1 room 4 people(2adults, 2 children)

I've never been in the cove cafe either. I am not a coffee drinker and all the smoke right outside makes me crazy. But I will let all of you know in September.

There won't be any more smoking area on our cruise, it's been moved to the Starboard side

I just got a phone call from Diana at the Radisson. She will send me an email on Mon. or before including what is involved in booking a block of rooms, cancellation policies when you book a block of rooms and she will include rates for the Fri. Oct.23,2009 for a group rate for a romm only, a room and including breakfast and for a park & cruise rate.

Cass I hope I'm not stepping on your toes with this, when I called this morning I didn't realize you had started checking on this too. If you want to handle this it's fine with me

Nope, not at all. Kira was busy playing with her daddy when it came up on the thread so I decided to email them. Feel free to take over

Unless we get a fabulous rate, I don't want to stay at the Country Inn again. I prefer the Radisson, so if you can get us a great rate them go for it Thanks for doing it Cheryl. I'm not a phone person, I'm an email person You'll get better and faster results with the phone, so you go girl!!

Ok then I'll continue to work on this By doing this you guys are letting me pretend to do what is one of my dream jobs, working as a travel agent , unfortunately they don't make nearly the money I make at my "real" job so I'll never be one.

So I finally got DS's 2008-2009 schedule for school.

His 3-day weekend in late Winter will be Mar 6-8.

In checking, the Magic is on one of the special Easterns that stops in St. Croix. Suz said she needs a window, so we'd have to go minimum Cat 9. That would be $3,500 for just the cruise without any discounts.

On Mar 5th, the Wonder sails and they have SPH rooms available and would only be about $1,400 for the cruise. We would fly down Tues night and do the parks on Wednesday.

The other Disney option would be to just go to WDW for the weekend (fly down Wed night and back on Sunday).

The other trips we were thinking were either Jamaica or Mexico for the week.

Not sure which one would be best. We haven't been on a "beach" vacation in some time.

Suz will have to see if her boss will let her off at this time as well.

I need to get a real job some day. I just sit and DIS all day right now.

I've also been surfing the 'net for hotels near O'Hare that do free extended parking. Our flight to AZ leaves at 8:10 am, so I think we might drive down the night before.

The absolute cheapest parking at O'Hare is $9/day (x8 days is $72) and I've fould a couple hotels in the $89-99/night rate with free parking for 10-14 days plus airport shuttle.

Jen we've stayed at the Embassy Suites in Rosemont and they're parking was in a covered garage. This was 5 years ago and we got a good rate then, not sure what they're park and fly rate is now. We've also stayed at the Marriottt Residence Inn in Rosemont. Both we're nice hotels

Your lucky you can DIS at work! Using the internet at work for non-work related things has really become frowned upon. I don't do it anymore. That's why I need 1 or 2 days off a week so that I can have time to DIS

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

I'm a coffee drinker also, but I gotta have my creamer and sweetner in it...does that count?

I drink coffee but I too need creamer and sugar or what I like even better is adding a packet of hot chocolate to it

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Here it is, the cruise ticker addition.

Great tickers Chris Does Lynn Like them?

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

I seem to ba the thread killer now so maybe I can get a FO

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

I'm heading to bed....I usually watch Home Improvement on Nick and fall asleep.
Nighty night everyone!

I tend to put Nick on when I go to bed too, there's usually nothing else good on.

Mel your kids are adorable!

That's great news Jen
I'm reading back again so this explains morw why you're looking for a hotel near OHare

 

[Verandah Man]

So you have mirrored glass on your building?

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

I though a while about my 5000th post
About what I should say
I thought a poem might be quite fitting
on this momentous day

I could talk about the great friends I've made
Some KK'ers and some Bobbers
I could even talk about the other people
like Dawg and Tart - the ebay camera robbers!

I could talk about the fresh ones
and the milestones that we chase
I could talk about the photos we post
that bring a smile upon my face

But no......... I'll talk of none of those
I thik I've said enough
So .......all I really want to say is...........





Fluff FluffFluffFluffFluffFluff!!!!

I love it Karen

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Update on the December trip front.

Sorry to say we're NOT going.

Suz boss did not budge on the time off.

Hopefully you will read this Karen before finalizing or buying any MVMCP tix tomorrow.

Sorry to read this Jeff

 

[Cheryl N. WI]

Good afternoon Andy. Are you enjoying your day off?

 

[Verandah Man]

How did you get so many tables? We had to wait forever for just one. It took a few pina colada's until they called our name.

Although they don't take ressies after 4pm, we were told to call and let them know how many people we had coming over and they would do their best to get as many tables together for us. When I called, I told them we had 52 people meeting and we would be there around 4:30. When I got here at 4:15 the tables were ready and waiting for us. I think everyone was there by 4:30.
