11/24/07 We are Better Than Leftovers!!! Nana Head reunion Part 4

[dsparks]

I'm here, but I definitely haven't gotten to the pictures yet. I HAD to spend time with Elizabeth yesterday and today! While I was gone Stephanie taught her how to respond to the question "How much do you love Nana?" She spreads her arms out wide!

Kim, I wish you could have joined us at Magic Kingdom too. Stuck in the monorail! We were all glad to be able to see the castle lit and never get tired of watching Wishes.

Gotten run. Be back later. Dawn

I would loooooove to go to St. Croix. I don't know that much about Tortola. How 'bout you Nanas moving your '09 date to December 5th

Hey!!! A girl can ask can't she?

Definitely in for the Vegas Meet. Do we have to bring boys? Couldn't I just use one of yours I swear, I don't think I've spent that much time with Joe in the last 13 years

I posted more pix.

Love ya,

Check Back Later

Kim,
I was wondering about Dec. 5th too. Is anyone open to this? It is a little close to Christmas... but I like the change in itinerary! I wonder what the price difference is between the 2 dates?

Only thing is I won't have that Thursday and Friday before off like I do for Thanksgiving... but... maybe I won't have a "9-5 job" then...

That's funny, Chris said he was looking forward to us spending some time together. I felt like we'd been together a lot on the trip. I guess that's not the sort of "time" he meant

Uh ... noooooooooooooooo .....

I'm sure we don't care one way or the other on which itinerary for the '09, but I know from this year that we thought going back-to-back on an eastern would be boring ... it wasn't at all. There was so much we missed and didn't get to do the first time that it was like being at the islands for the first time.

So if we kept with the Saturday after Thanksgiving schedule, then we'll be doing the west again, but it'll feel different.

If we change to the Dec. 5 so we can hit St. Croix, the only thing is we miss that extra holiday.

But whatever ... someone just tell me when and where to show up!

We could go either way. Because we haven't done a western in a few years, and never with the kids. But I have been to Grand Cayman twice. Never to Key West. To Cozumel once. You're right it's a new experience every time.

I kind of liked the extra sea days on the eastern. People told me I would beforehand and they were right.

I just wanted to move our booking sometime fairly soon because we want to get a category 9 near the mid-ship elevators on Deck 2. We decided that would be a good spot for us.

But I really wanted to be with the rest of you, because it really made the cruise. (Even though we didn't get to be big people very much) We should be able to socialize more on the next one.

Did anyone else see that Melanie said they go either way

Well we did pictures 3 nights with Disney none of them Great!!!
Ran into Chris and melanie in the hall and asked if he would take a quick pickture he did and it is the best one!!!!

I vote him as my personal photo man on the next cruise. That will be ok with to to follow my family around wont it!!!

So let me tell you of the story of Trent (MADDUCK) and the lobster...
It was to be a normal evening, just lobster and Chocolate Lava Cake
What we had yet to find out, was that Trent made some milestones for the chefs of the Disney Cruise Line.
The first thing was that Trent wanted a bowl of butter for his lobster . Very strange
To go past that, Trent had three lobsters for the bowl of butter. Another new one.
He had even dared to take on the challenge of eating 20 Chocolate Lave Cakes (I should have), which would have set a newer record.
I also heard that Larry had atleast three as well, good job
I have a picture of Trent and his first Lobster:

Hello, my Nana lovelies! This is my first post since we returned...I decided to post while I was having my first drink since getting sick LAST Tuesday night!!! I know!!!

Judy just left and we were looking and laughing at pics...GREAT times! Hopefully, we'll get ours posted this weekend. It's been crazy...I mean these people expect ME to work!! I even had to have my evaluation this afternoon. I pranced in their with my Christmas Mickey purse and said, "How's everyone?" Can I just say that nobody gets the Mickey thing but US?

Anyway, I haven't seen all the pictures or even read any posts, but I wanted to say that you guys are the best ever. I couldn't get out as much as I wanted, but I am able to say truthfully that the cruise was "very restful!" My stomach didn't calm down until Sunday some time. (We did the four state bathroom tour from Florida to North Carolina...GOOD times!) Yes, there's ALWAYS a story, isn't there???

Everyone take care! I'm still unpacking toiletries, every medicine and cream on earth, and trying to get ready for our faculty Christmas party. Oh, yeah, Sarah's team is in the state finals four hours away at Wake Forest on Saturday. Tick Tock...and I don't mean Grandma Tick Tock and her family of plenty! Gotta fly...Sarah's cheering and she called at halftime. I guess I need to prepare dinner, too. Reality...it's a b****, isn't it!

Love to my sistas!

Hey Guys,

Sorry I have not posted much the last couple of days. Cierrah came down with the flu Sunday morning. We spent 3 hours sitting at the Urgent Care with tons of sick people. I came down with it that night. Cough, aches, fever, etc. I think it is Cruise Withdrawl!!!!!!

Glad everyone made it home safely. The pictures are great.

It is amazing that the cruise is over and we are still on page one all of the time. Says alot for the Nannas!!!!!!

 

[J&C's Mom]

Thank you so much for helping to make our cruise FANTASTIC & FABULOUS
We loved meeting everyone and hope to be able to do more adult time next year. I finally swam in the adult pool Thanks Shell for all your work putting together the lists, the tiara meet and the gift exchange - truly appreciated Thanks to everyone for the gifts!

My Cousin Vinny starts in fifteen minutes

We finally arrived home yesterday after 3 beautiful days in cocoa beach. Almost bought a time share We watched the Magic sail away with new people,how dare they take our ship We also watched a most pathetic boat parade. And we were able to see the Wonder sail away on Sunday. Oh how I miss it

I have yet to catch up on the 10 pages - ahh the cruise is over people I will have to check out all the photos, so far looks like everyone had a blast.

Our good, bad and ugly. Good - meeting all the nanas, food-food-lots of food, great entertainment(including nanatainment), mud room, couples massage, St Thomas day all alone(almost) on the ship Bad - On St Maarten teeney weeney bikinis on men who should keep their clothes on & local beach vendors(no thank-you a 100x), Parker being sick for a 2 days Ugly - nothing

We would change to the St Croix or Tortola trip if all are in. Never been to St Croix, and it's been years since Tortola but from what I remember - awesome.

Time to go - moving to the 08 board
