12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 14

[MrsMork]

Have fun in the pool V! I am so jealous!! Your girls are absolutely adorable!!

DrHug and I were looking around at all the DIS kids at the port and sail away and we commented on what a cute bunch of kids we have! All of them.

Did I mention that DH kept calling the girls and I GEEKS during the cruise?!?!

 

[pyramid2000]

I have to get off of here before I start to cry!!!

I hope everyone else makes it home safe and sound!

 

[MrsMork]

That's great news Angie!! Did Aaron make it home?

He should be boarding the plane right now. Takes off at 2:30 (PST) then a little under 3 hours to home. His other grandma kept him last night and took him to the airport today. She misses him since he moved to AZ too and was thrilled when I called and asked it she wanted to spend at least a few hours with him.

 

[MrsMork]

Did I mention that DH kept calling the girls and I GEEKS during the cruise?!?!

And you ARE too!!

 

[MrsMork]

I should be paying bills, but what am I doing?? DISing.

 

[MrsMork]

Oh, and Caroline, nice there! The saga continues!

We got home just before midnight PST last night. We spent the day at Kennedy Space Center since our flight wasn't until later.

I'm really glad to be back to the comforts of home now. Loved the cruise but I've decided we won't do another for a few years, not until our kids are much older because DD12 kind of made me crazy on the trip. She enjoyed the club when we FORCED her to go but I sure hated having to force her to do things. She wanted to spend the days in front of the TV in the stateroom.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to hang out with the DISers much on the cruise. I felt like a chicken with its head cut off trying to squeeze in as much as I could experience in a day and ended up getting kind of cranky every night when things were being missed because we didn't budget our time well. Oh well.

I'm sad today to find out we'd left a bag of souvies in our room. We called lost and found and they said they'd look into it and call us back but we have yet to hear from them. I really hope the bag was found and turned in. I'm pretty sure I left it on the chair under the desk of our stateroom.

My kids are like totally different children now that we're at home... i think they honestly got burned out from too much Disney (did I say that?) -- they got tired of smiling for the camera all the time, and the characters everywhere got old fast... Next time, we'll only stay a couple of days at WDW before cruising....

We left a duffel bag at the port! I had written my cell phone # on the Tinkerbell tag and I got a call from DCL about 1:00 and they were able to send it over to the Magical Express desk at the airport so I picked it up when we checked in for our flight. They rock.

 

[becka]

I just put the kids down to bed. Hopefully they go to sleep quickly because DH and I could use some rest.

DH went to get some Chinese food for dinner since we still don't have any food in the house. The finale of Survivor is on tonight and we still have the two week prior to watch that we missed while on the trip.

One interesting thing did happen earlier this afternoon. We had put a stop on our mail but DH went to check on it anyway this afternoon and he found only one thing had been delivered in our absence......the WDW planning video. What does THAT mean?

Well, maybe it will make you better to hear how DS read DH on the ship. He was reading the Christmas card from Mike & Chris and said...

DUH Chrisva

 

[kimerinc]

We ask you all to say some prayers for Aaron today as he flies home to Phoenix by himself.

Angie, please let us know when he gets home safely! Prayers!

 

[lillygator]

Our girls ARE older (much older) and we still won't be trying another ship.

You know what I mean!!!

Dody, it is possible that you will hear from someone in a couple weeks once the ship returns from the 10 day cruise. DS found two of the brass ships that had pencil sharpeners in the bottom. He insisted that we had to take them to GS so that they could send them to the kids who were in the room. I put them in my DD bag and we finally remembered to go to GS to turn them in on Monday morning. The girl there was so sweet to DS. He told her that he would want to get his toys back if he left them on the ship. She said that they would have them mailed to the family who was in our room last week. That night when DH took him to the room after the show because he was acting up before the Mrs. Clause reading in the atrium, there was a card for him from the crew & staff of the Magic along with a $10 arcade card. that your items are found by a good family. Maybe you can post to someone on their live thread with your room number? Having a fellow DISer knock on the door & ask the new family for their friend's items might add a little luck? You can also contact Shirley. She checks the L&F each week. 800-950-4559

um lisa, I think you need to change your tag! 12/8 girl! 12/8! Plus I am not telling savannah that william and kaitlyn are going on the first. She cried all day yesterday until finally DH told her we had put the deposit down on the cruise next year. She is still sad today and would like to know if Sophia and Kaitlyn can move here or we can move there.

 

[lbgraves]

Goodness there I go just jumping right in without catching you up on us. I wasn't on earlier...too busy unpacking and starting the laundry. 2 washed, 1 drying, 1 folded from before the cruise I stopped opening suitcases though. I'll work on it tomorrow when the kids are in school. DS is in bed reading two stories for school tomorrow. DD is eating cheerios. She is going to have a hard time not asking for a variety of food 24/7. No more mac & cheese, cheeseburger, cheese pizza dinners so that she can eat a little bit of each of them. OY! I don't think that I said that all week on the ship!

 

[lbgraves]

Didn't we do enough of that yesterday morning? I miss all of you guys already.

Um....we aren't going on 12/1 anymore more than likely. Didn't I tell you that we booked 12/8/07 in 7002 onboard Friday afternoon at 4 pm??? Make that girl happy! Kaitlyn was miserable all day yesterday too.

 

[Disneyjamie]

Hello everyone. Jodie and Paul are enjoying their honeymoon at Saratoga Springs. We wanted to thank everyone that helped make her wedding day extra special. The support of the DISers really meant a lot to us. Thanks again, and I am in the process of getting the photos and video from the cruise on the net.

 

[Jhalkias]

Well, we are home guys . . .

We had some events at the airport this afternoon, and I cannot say that it was an enjoyable experience, but it was an experience.

I had trouble with our luggage falling off the luggage cart, and when I picked it back up, I left the tube including the Navigation chart there . . . It STILL has not been turned into lost and found. We were all a bit flustered because we were running a bit late.

We miss all of you guys . . .

I will say it was strange to come back to 60 degree weather in Ohio a week before Christmas!



to all of you, and I hope everyone got home safely!
