12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 15

[lillygator]

the 7 night would be MUCH cheaper than what we just paid......I guess these are slow cruising months!

 

[lillygator]

Ok, here's my logic on this.

We were going to have a luau for Haley's bithday and by the time I buy all the groceries, drinks, party ware, favors, flowers, gifts, cake etc...I am sure I will have spent $500.

I just called John, he is at his bosses house drafting a team for both of us in the "toilet bowl".....he is feeling good......he said, "awesome deal V - I have three vacation days left before the end of Feb".....that seals the deal in my mind, don't you think?

Plus for xmas between family gifts I have $350 worth of Disney Dollars burning a hole in my purse...

Done deal. Book it now!

Oh my......there are FL cruise rates out for Jan, Feb....we could do a 3 or 4 nighter for Haley's birthday for around $800......I wonder how badly Johnny wants to go to ESPN weekend.....

GO FOR IT!!!!!!

That leaves you with $50 left for room credit!!!

I couldn't resist!

Yes Caroline, somehow I KNEW I could count on you!

And here's the "after." She donated about 12 inches of her hair to Locks of Love, which makes wigs for kids with alopecia and other diseases.

Amy says it looks cute. I am a typical male and like long hair, but for what she did with her hair that is WONDERFUL!

John1

 

[Jhalkias]

That's why we got 2. I had forgotten that I had bought a subscription, then I got this one too. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why there was one for Sarah and one for Dina.

We got ours yesterday . . . LOL until I read Caroline's post, I was wondering what kind of submarine Lisa had got from Disney?

Trey came home and joked that he does not have daughters with short hair, so who is in our bathroom?!

 

[lbgraves]

OK, techie question. About those $29 shuffles. Are they worth it?

They are out of them now but the 1GB ones are only $59. William told me 2 days before Christmas that what he really wants is an Ipod but one that plays movies. Well....he is NOT getting that but he is always carrying around his little radio and loves music. This would make sense in a way. They keep coming up so I could get one before next Christmas or his birthday. I am guessing that he wont need to worry about pictures or files so music should be enough for him for a while.

Lisa,

Sophia has that exact shuffle and loves it for her music. Personaly, I think it is a good deal, and is a perfect device for music only. Only problem . . . no display (and I don't mean for movies or video).

I saw for $30 more you can get a 1gb refurb nano. No video, but it can store photos, and you can see what you are playing.

Hey Lisa,

I left the chat room right after you. Felt like a "Stranger in a Strange Land".

Where were all my friends?

John1

 

[Jhalkias]

Hey Vanessa . . .

I guess you can cruise without us . . .

Why can I not get FLA rates since I own DVC? NO FAIR!

Hard for me to understand why the people who do not have to FLY there get lower rates . . . I have to pay to fly, hotel, etc . . .

I want special OHIO rates!

Yeah, and we need to get away from the frozen north ... umm ... well... not so much this week...
71 degrees in Philadelphia tomorrow?!

I hadn't thought about that. I still need to venture into the land of the unknown here. That makes sense, but takes up too much of his budget since we are cutting back even more next year for Christmas. I found a great deal at Target today!!! A Lego roadster motor creator set at 50%!!! Now he has his 2 big gifts taken care of. Maybe they will have a deal on a nano before then.

It was strange. So quiet & slow paced.

 

[lbgraves]

ROFL! Now they could each book a different room with you guys shuffled around for the booking.

well, it's probably a bit easier for Floridians to make "quick" trips when the boat hasn't sold too well. I wish we could do the 7 night....

 

[lbgraves]

It was 74 here today. This is rediculous!!!! I want to wear my sweaters & drink hot chocolate!!!! DD hasn't been able to wear most of her winter clothes.
