We switched to the 8/29/09 sailing to save $1K so I'm unsubscribing here. Have a great cruise guys!

Gee...

... I remember looking at that date on the cruise last week ... and we could NOT have saved $1000 with our quad cat 9. In fact, this sailing (10-10-2009) was one of the MOST affordable sailings available ... which fit into our existing calandar of availability.

Oh well.... :confused3
 
Hi ... Couldn't find a thread for this cruise, so I thought I would start one. If there is already one out there, please let me know.

Anyone else booked? It is me and my daughter (19 at time of travel) going. October 12, is the Canadian Thanksgiving! I wonder if there will be any Turkey!

Just wanted to check in and say hi to everyone. Hi.:yay:

Welcome aboard Capt'n and family.:cool1: :woohoo: Glad you could join us on our upcoming little trip. It should be alot of fun.

Had to leave work early yesterday. DW and I ride to and from work together. She called me just before noon saying she felt sick.:sick: Seems there has been a virus going around at her office, and it was her turn to come down with it. It's nice to share isn't it!! Well, I hear my patient stirring around in the living room. Better go and check on her. All take care, and I'll talk to you again soon.

david, so sorry your DW is under the weather. Our youngest DS actually got strep throat the very first day of school. He made it to school but was at the Dr. buy 3:00. I guess its that time of year....:sick:

Sorry to hear your spouse is coming down with something. I've had this lingering cough and runny nose the past 2 weeks. Same as so many on our voyage and around home. So yeah... whenever I hear that dry cough in someone else - I glance thier way with a knowing look. If I don't finally shake this by monday I'll see a doc. I was getting better a couple of days ago so I held off of see the docter.... maybe save a buck an' avoid medications if possible... and I know... it's just the deductibles for visit and perscriptions ... pocket change. But avoiding medications is always a good idea if you can get better on your own in quick enough fashion.... right?

Welcome aboard captaincrash.... :thumbsup2

Mickey_BAR_Q_thanks.gif

Thanx neighbors for the welcoming thoughts. We're lookin' forward already even though we were still embarked less than 7 days ago! When we were drawing to the final days of that voyage our kids were quipping they were ready to return for a TWENTY day Disney cruise!

Oh well...

ON another note... jajomo0118 ... I take it you're a Steelers' fan! My spouse grew up just east of Pittsburgh in a little one signal light town names Irwin. And naturally, everyone in her family is a big time Steelers Fan! We've got one of those yellow towels too!

Wanted to thank all for your kind wishes for DW.:love: She is feeling better today.:yay: Back to her ol' self.:scared1: Bossy, ordering me around, calling me names, if you don't move faster I'm trading you in for a newer model, and a better looking one as well, you know those kind of comments.:lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl: No really those kind of comments. Some I can't even post here!!!

Hey, Christa I know what you mean about your son being an Atlanta Falcons fan. My son is a big Washington Redskins fan. I don't think he is my son.

If I find a way, I'll let you know.:cool1: :thumbsup2

OK...

.... I'll have no problem gettin' with the program. And on Irwin... yeah. A few years ago my spouses' parents finally sold their long time home to retire in Honolulu. My MIL was originally from Hawaii ... and 40 years ago her dear husband promised they'd only be in the north east for a coule of years ... tops. And 40 years later they left for Honolulu when they "retired". < chuckles >

Otherwise... I miss visiting PA.. we used to fly our dog out when we visited for the holidays. We'd play in the snow and get good Italian food... and delicious pizza pies. The usual thing for so many years. I've been with my spouse for nearly 25 years now (married 14 as of .... tomorrow) so we've been to PA and HI many times to spend time with family.

Have a great time on your cruise, and I hope you will be joining us next October. By the way, if you know you are going to book this cruise before you get off the ship, then do it while you are on board. You get a 10% discount, plus an on-board credit for booking a cruise while on the ship!!!! Any way to save money is a good thing!!!

yeah...

As MJ cited the 10% discount and $100 cabin credit is simply the easiest savings you'll be able to secure on a Disney cruise. If you had a family of 4 sailing in a window cabin (as I do) then your 10% savings amounts to just under $400 with kids aged 5 and 8. So the total savings is $500! Your committment to rebook takes just $500 currently (family of 4) with their half off deposit promotion.

Otherwise.... we predict you'll have a nice enough time to make a rebooking while aboard. You've got the whole year of sailing dates to choose from and when I was aboard 2 weeks ago ... this date (10-10) was among the very lowest priced 7 nite sailings where we had openings in our calandar. Plus it is generally past the peak of hurricane season (roughly a 35-40% chance for a hurricane in the Atlantic somewhere while we're sailing... and probably a less than 4% chance it MIGHT influence our cruise). So ... if 10-10 works for your calandar.... then this date is likely to be a good SAFE value compared to other bargain dates.

'MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL'

You say you will never forget where you were when
you heard the news On September 11, 2001.
Neither will I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room
with a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I
held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the
peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it
is OK..I am ready to go.'

I was with his wife when he called as she fed
breakfast to their children. I held her up as she
tried to understand his words and as she realized
he wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a
woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been
knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said.
'Of course I will show you the way home - only
believe in Me now.'

I was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the injured and devastated souls.
I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He
heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat,
with every prayer. I was with the crew as they
were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the
believers there, comforting and assuring them that their
faith has saved them.

I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan ..
I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew
every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me
for the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the
smoke and flames; 'Come to Me... this way... take
my hand.' Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day. You
may not know why, but I do. However, if you were
there in that explosive moment in time, would you have
reached for Me?

Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey
for you. But someday your journey will end. And I
will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may
be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are
'ready to go.'

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.
 
I liked that 9/11 Rememberance poem. I got that at work the other day. I certainly remember 9/11. Our license plate is WONT4GT. Sadly, I think too many people already have. Never forget!
 
Thanks Captaincrash for that great poem. Like JDBlair we all should never forget. I know my family never will.

Hey Mary, hows' you doin'? Have you got those ol' land lubber legs back yet?

I'm gettn' ready to start the ol' hunny do list. But I thought I would share a nice pic I recently came across on my computer. Don't know if anyone has seen this one or not, but I thought ya'll would enjoy seeing it for the first time or again. Enjoy, and I'll talk to you again soon.

Sorry guys havin' a little trouble loading the image. Will work on it later.:confused3
 
David, your avatar is likely to become my next tattoo. I need to get a Disney tattoo but am having a hard time deciding which one. I like that logo, I have the key chain and a t-shirt with it! Do you think it's a little obsessive to actually put the word "Disney" on my body?
