Ken - Went back to the Margaritaville website and I actually SAW your bar stool!!!

Good, it's still there. We might have to get you to make one exception on your no-beef diet so you can have a Cheeseburger in Paradise!

I may be able to choke down a few bites just so I can say I had one!
Don't suppose they have a veggie burger in paradise?
And count me in on that pool! I'll drink and float all afternoon. I think I found my shore excursion in Grand Cayman!!!!

Now that we have Cayman taken cre of, What bars are in Cozumel?

Good News here, I don't have Lime's Disease, just a bad sinus infection, I'm on heavy antibiotics.

We went to Margaritaville last year on the cruise and we had a blast. DH and I had some nachos and a few Landsharks (Jimmy Buffets Beer) and DD played in the pool. We all had a great time, it's a really fun place. They play all kind of silly games and such, we had a really nice time there.

Judy, those Steelers looked pretty good the other night, didn't they??

 

[love2travel]

How's everybody doing with saving there change for the cruise. I just checked my jar today and I have over $100 saved so far. Boy, that could get me a lot of cocktails!

Teresa,
Great news that your test came back negative!
I found a tick on Lexington's collar a few weeks ago - and he had Frontline applied a few days before that!

Steelers do look good. Except for poor Charlie Batch. He is the nicest man - I worked with his sister in law for several years and he would come into our office quite frequently. He does a lot of volunteer work with children. I hope he recovers quickly. They play Buffalo tomorrow night in Toronto.

It's Margaritaville for this old pirate (lookin' past forty)!!!!!!!

I haven't counted my money yet. I'd venture a guess adn say about 30 bucks. I am bringing a new water bottle home from work today to start saving for next year!!!

They say he will be out for atleast 4-6 weeks. I can't believe that Charlie Batch would just come into your office. I sometimes wish I lived in Pittsburgh just so I could catch a glimpse of a player here of there.

I think we might head back to Margaritaville again too! If I can find my way between the navigational beacons......It's 5 o'clock somewhere!!!

Did anyone notice we hit day 100 on page 100?

Hey Teresa...GREAT news!!! I'm so glad it was just your sinuses!
Thanks for checking in! I was on the phone with Rebecca's doctor when you called and then had to run out the door. Howard's arm turned out to be a strained rotator cuff (sp?). He has to watch his lifting (gets me off the hook!) and just go easy with his exercises.

I have to admit that I'm not familiar with Jimmy Buffet. I do know a few songs but it seems like you guys are true fans!

Can you believe I printed Rebecca's invitations and had the wrong time on them! I never confirmed the start time. I had 10:00. Services start at 10:30. Now I have to print all 100 of them again!! I can't wait until they're done!!!!

Now I'm off to pay my cruise off...

Final words....GO GIANTS!!!!!

The friends that we are traveling with - Mark works for PNC Bank. He sees Ben Rothlesburger all the time in the bank downtown! If you have been a fan for a while you might remember Louis Lipps and Ron Woodson? They are in business together and own all of the Applebees in town. It's called Woodlipp Corp. Their offices were in the building that Cheryl Batch and I worked in. I use to see them all the time. I talked to them for about 2 years before someone told me who they were. I didn't always pay attention to football! Mel Blount runs a youth home for boys and he receives county funding. He comes into our fiscal office frequently. You can't miss him. He's about 7 feet tall, always wears a black cowboy hat and very strong cologne! I always wanted to meet Bill Cowher. I never had a chance and he up and moved to North Carolina!
I wonder if it's some kind of omen that we hit 100 days on page 100? What are the odds that we'd hit it dead on like that?
Teresa - Is your dog shedding a lot? I don't ever remember it being this bad. He has sensitive skin and has had a lot of hot spots this year and I have had to vacuum daily for the past few weeks. I'm about ready to get him clipped down.

Congrats on paying off the cruise!!! What a great feeling!
We'll catch you up to speed on Buffet - come to Margaritaville with us!

I hope that is a good sign!

It sounds like we have a custom excursion in the making. I know you can count 4 adults and 2 kids in for Margaritaville!

OH you are killing me, yes I've been a fan forever. Yes, I know Louis Lipps and Ron Woodson. I think I would just freek out if I was in the bank and in walked BIG BEN. I think I told you that we met Bill Cowher, right? What a nice nice man.

Yes, our dog is shedding like mad. But he sheds pretty bad all year round. Luckily he hasn't had any hot spots so far this summer (knock on wood). He is getting a major hair cut next week also.

Ok, so who is all up for going to Margaritaville? SuzyMouse, we'll get you knowing his songs real soon, no worries!

GO STEELERS!!!! Remember SuzyMouse the Steelers play the Giants this season.

Please give Howard our best... Hope he feels better soon!

If you weren't drinking so early in the morning the invitations would probably have come out just fine. Ok, let me rephrase that, maybe you should have had a drink before you started printing them. All kidding aside, I'm sorry to hear that you have to reprint them. I'm sure they look beautiful.

I started back to work last Thursday, so I haven't been on the DIS much. However, I've been reading through the posts I've missed and noticed that some people want to have our DIS meet at the port. I just thought I'd post and let everyone know that we are game for either way. We always get to the port by 10:00 a.m. because we figure our cruise starts the second we go up that escalator! As long as we know where to go and when to be there, we'll show up!

 

[Suzy Mouse]

OK...so I started reprinting the invites and Rebecca noticed that I never changed the sign!!! What is WRONG with me!!!
GET ME A DRINK!!!

I paid off the cruise... OUCH that hurt!!


Mike and Teresa: I spoke with Disney on the phone and they said that people who are traveling together are placed together for dinner. With our ressies linked together we should be good to go. The ony prob is that the largest seating arrangements at dinner are 8. They'll have our tables next to each other. If not I'm sure Teresa will have it taken care of in no time!! (Just pictures like you're going into the principal's office T!! )

Teresa...I think we'll need a bet on the game! When are they playing??
AS for teaching me songs...are you sure you want me singing??? You won' tbe able to shut me up!!!!

 

[disneypoor]

I just had to post again--sorry! But, I just paid my cruise off!

Feels good doesn't it! A little over a week and we can start making ressies!

Susan - I almost forgot - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! HOORAY!!!!
