Good Morning All,
Well I am off to the Doctor today because I could not sleep with this ear infection I have. It is sooooooo painful and now it is hurting my throat. When I am sick I am not a happy person !! I just hope DS does not catch this!!! Well I am off to call my sister-in-law to tell her that I can't go shopping with her because I am sick!! Talk to you later !!

LYNN hope you feel better soon!

You really had my curiousity peaked with that one so I called DCL and the agent said being the week that it is it would probably be more beneficial to book on the cruise with a special promotion and on-board credits! Thanks for the heads up I would have called January 30th!

Sometimes booking while on board can really save a lot, but it will depend on how much the cruise goes up in price by next November.

Sometimes it is better to book with the minimum deposit at the beginning rate. Then on your cruise the booking person will tell you how much it would cost for the cruise if you were to book on board with your room credit and 10% off.
If it is less, she will cancel your old reservation and rebook you at the lower rate. The money will just be tranfered over to the new reservation instead of being refunded if you request it.
But if the price has gone up a lot, it may be cheaper to keep your old reservation.
We have done this and it is almost always cheaper to keep the original booking. If not there is nothing to loose, because that far away there is no penalty to change to over.
Just keeping all your options open.

I know with us your thinking Florida resident rates, but that isnt offered all the time and you dont know until about 6 week before your cruise if you get them, so we always try to book the lowest price in case we dont get the discount on the trip.


So you might think about it before you decide or at least keep an eye on the price and it if starts going up in the next couple of months I would go ahead and book it. You can always change it on board if needed.

Just wanted to share our experiences on booking, I would hate for you guys to get cheated out of a thousand dollars or more!! I know it is hard to believe but I do think of you guys in a nice way once in awhile. But I'll never admit it if asked in person!!

Good luck with your decisions.

Kathy

We booked a cruise for this November while on the last cruise, but we just can't swing it so soon - (trying to get in as good financial shape as possible so we can RETIRE 3/08) - so we're having our travel agent move our booking to the 2008 date - I'm SO excited at the thought of seeing you all again!

Wish we could do some "meets" in between times - I know there's a pretty big meet in Allentown, PA in July - is anyone thinking of going to that one?

Dinner tonight is chicken casserole, Kathy. with broccoli. I am trying SO hard to take off some of this tonnage!

Lynn, hope you feel better soon, hon. Hard to take care of baby while you feel so wretched yourself. I'll get that package wrapped up for Drew tonight in hopes of hitting the post office on Saturday. Otherwise, he'll be driving before I get it there.

Happy Day, All!

Linda,
chicken casserole sounds good, but I have some extra lean ground beef that needs to be used up by tomarrow. I made a taco pizza yesterday which turned out pretty good. I often use ground turkey instead of beef to cut calories and cholesterol and low fat cheese.

Hamburger stew is good but I dont have any real potatoes right now and I dont want to go back to the store again right now.
Oh well, there is always just a good old hamburger if I cant think of
something else. Just feeling lazy today I guess.

Hi everyone, Hope you are all doing well. I could not get logged on for some reason tonight. It took me a while Today I went to visit my friend and her baby. My mom came to, so it was a nice day out. Tonight I had another school meeting, then I met my aunt for dinner. My kids went with John to see their great grandma.

Lynn-I hope you feel better really soon. I am hoping we are done with being sick!!

Bob-I think I will book through Disney directly. We have always used a our travel agent, but I want to call first thing in the morning.

Kathy and Linda-you guys are making me hungry talking about all that food. Linda I will email you my recipes soon. I have been dragging my feet. I always seem to wait until the last minute. Kathy the hamburger stew sounds good. Did you put that in for the cook book? I have a lot of ground beef to use, so I would like that recipe. Can you email it to me?

Linda-Your trip to Nashville sounds like fun!! When are you going? We love Tennesse. That tour you guys are taking sounds like a blast!!

Well I need to go fold some Have a good night.

Lorna

Going to be cool and rainy today.
A welcome change!!


Have a great Wednesday everyone!!!

Kathy

Bob, Bill and I talked about this the other day (with Cheri & Bill) and I think we're going to wait until we're on the ship in November to book the 2008 cruise so we get our discounts. Plus we really don't need more on the credit cards right now!

I'll check out the prices when they're out, but I think we're going to have to wait. A) DH isn't 100% convinced that we're going, and B) Like Shell & Bill, I just don't want to throw another $750 on the credit card.

Our money tree is lookin a little ragged right now!

Have a great day everyone!

Cheri

Good Morning All,
Feeling alittle better today!! Went to the Doctor and just have a very nasty cold !! DH came home earlier from work so I came rest.. Well tomorrow we have a showing of the thownhouse between 11:30-12:30. I hope I am better to go out!! Well I have to run to ShopRite and get my more Cold meds and Orange Juice.


Linda: I have to send you my Chicken Parm recipe for your cookbook. You are too sweet to be sending Drew something!! Thank you from Drew !!!

 

[LindaBabe]

Good Morning, All!

Your recipes HAVE been arriving, but for some reason it's taking about 10 minutes for yahoo to process responses, so you're NOT getting individual thank Yous - Although I DO thank you ALL (especially Kathy - for a while I was concerned it would be the wild turkey cookbook by Kathy - but others are coming through now!)

Not much else to report from here - slogging through my to do list - still haven't got the cruise album done - Bruce is skiing every chance he gets - Dimples and OC are hi-bear-nating - I was going to say til Bruce's Birthday - which is also OC's bearthday, but he's going to be gone Skiing for the week - so the little bear will probably sleep til he gets back.

Lynn fingers crossed for a buyer for your townhome - AT the right price.

Happy Day, all!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Lynn,
I am happy to hear your feeling a little better today.
Just keep resting every chance you get.

Wish you the best for the showing!!!

Kathy

 

[woogal]

A) DH isn't 100% convinced that we're going

Whatever! You know, that's funny because I'm 100% convinced that you're going. What we have here is a failure to communicate.

 

[Dixielady908]

Evening all:

Just watching american idol.....love watching the part of the show....too funny....

nothing new...
talk with ya later
Denise

 

[LindaBabe]

I see by the other thread JanDave aren't going on either cruise. Sure hope that's the LAST defection.

Mutt and Woo - how are you for breakfast on - say - the Sunday (or Monday before work?) before Thanksgiving? We're thinking of driving to Evansville for Thanksgiving with a stop in Shaker Heights, of course, and then thought we might be able to Catch you on the way south. Two Years is TOO long without seeing friends!

Kathy, you weren't on much today . . . are you ok?

Lynn, How did the showing go? Must be hard to keep everything ship shape with Drew in the house. . . btw, we haven't had a photo lately . . . .

Cheri? You've got a money tree? Can I have a seed after it blooms?

Off to bed. Sleep sweetly, all!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Morning all,

Linda,
I am fine, just spent part of my day putting together my photo/scrap book from our cruise. I still have some detailing to do, but havnt decided just what I am going to do. I need to go to the scrapbooking store at the mall and see if any ideas come to mind.

I still have to put together an album for our August crusie too. I usually do them right after the cruise, but I was ill for awhile so never seemed to get to it. I am tired of seeing everything just laying around from the cruises so I have to get it done soon.

Today I have ironing to do, not my favorite thing to do!!


Lynn,
since you like to shop you might like to know 20 minute drive from me they just opened the biggest Walmart in the world, at least for now!!
I will wait a couple of weeks to go and see it, so the crowds will die down some. Peter went and saw it last night and he said it was HUGE!!!

We are down around 40 degrees this morning!! chilly for us!!!

Kathy

 

[TIGGER41681]

Good Morning
Feels like Good Night because DS decided to be up the whole night. My friend also called last night with bad news that her dad passed away of cancer. It snowed another dusting last night.Today is the showing so cross your fingers. Well I am off to make the house too pretty and get DS feed and dressed. Talk to you all later.


Kathy: Wow the biggest Wal-Mart I did not they could get any bigger. That is the one store here that I avoid because you can never found a parking space and it is always a zoo inside.
