Hi Jaime!
Don't know if you saw, but we visited the one in Kansas City this summer. I put photos of it on our blog.

Good morning Jaime and Dawn,
Nice job with the Bananas

Cold and quiet here today.
Got a lazy start this morning, but the laundry is finally started and after breakfast I will get busy cleaning and I need to go get soem milk. But I can get that right here at the gas station.


Well Greg booked us for 9/18/2010 transatlantic cruise today .
We have never done along one before. Now to worry about paying for it
we are going to use tax returns for most of it.
Plus I will do as I always have done.
save all our change, ones and 5 dollar bills.

Plus i use our disney chase card to build points. I use it for everything , but each time I use it, I set the money aside for the bill so when it comes each month I pay it off 100%, It is amazing how many points you can get in a couple of years.

we will fly to Barbadoes and cruise back to Florida, then fly back to Oregon unless we are lucky enough to be moved back by then.
I hate to fly, but I am willing to do it for this cruise. we have 4 new ports, 6 ports in all, I believe.
He just surprized me with this last night, so I havnt had time for it to sink in yet.

Of course this all depends if he can keep working during this terrible economy.
But we are going to give it a shot!!
They just opened it up on the 14th and already all but about 15th of the cheape rooms are gone. So we had to book a guarateee room, but in a year she said to check back as people cancel and we can probably pick a room where we want. everyone books now, then many have to cancel later.

I may have to have Greg sell a kidney but we will sure try and keep this reservation

He is probably sleeping or relaxing in his hot tub

or changing dirty diapers and doing laundry and cleaning house,

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Morning nana 9er's!!

Kathy, congrats on the transatlantic DCL booking!

Sounds like it will be really fun!

I looked into getting the Disney Visa, but where we don't do Disney very often I opted to get a rewards card through Discover.

Like you, we use our card for everything and then pay the balance off each month and its amazing how fast the savings add up. So far we've earned enough rewards to pay for our airfare and our cabin upgrade to verandah!!

Wow that sounds neat...and if anything like in 2007 the price should drop...we looked at booking the May sailing in 07 and it was only $2300 for the 4 of us...but even though Alicia would have turned 3 right before the cruise she wasn't 100% potty trained so we decided against it and booked the nanacruise instead.

Hi Kathy! Your light is on. Are you still around?

Just finished up dinner. Most of the dishes are still in the sink. They'll just have to wait a bit

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

I'm here

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

I was going to make pizza for dinner but Greg saw the ingredients and wanted it for lunch instead.
Now I have to think, what to fix for dinner Something easy.

Tomorrow I will use my slow cooker and put in a small roast. That will make a few nights dinner for him.

Kathy, I see your light on.....are you lurking?

I'm going to look for our gift exchange item and FE gifts tomorrow.

What do people normally do for FE gifts?....or maybe I should say....what do people "like to get in their FE's??

 

[jollyg]

Oh, I was going to ask....why did you guys book your 2010 cruise now?....don't you get OBC if you wait and book it on the ship?
