Lisa, the site looks great! You are truly wonderful for doing this.

Thanks! It is my therapy. How else could I be up with DD at midnight watching Simba's Pride & making up a table. Only me...type A herself.

Also, if anyone sees a goof PLEASE let me know!!! I'm human & keeping up with our group is getting a little challenging. I am hoping that the changes to the manifest will help everyone...including me. We are up to 27 families...102 people who are signed up on the sight alone. I know that there are several DISers who have come on the thread & said hello then disappeared so there are many more to be found on the ship.

I remember CC last year. I got to talking to the lady in the hammock next to ours. She mentioned an online board then when DD walked up asked if I was on the DIS. LOL! She recognized my little Cindy.

 

[lbgraves]

Caroline, I will be sending in the list ASAP when I hear from DCL dining. Additions can be made. I know that there are a couple families in our group who are WLE so they would probably love to switch with you. I am going to try to get them pulled to early with the group.

Oh yeah! I did have a ? about the liking and late seating. Will there also be a request in what rotational time the group would like? I like late, but I don't think too late!

 

[brack]

We're here! Finally!!! We drove through the worst rain I have ever seen on Monday through Virginia.

I can't stay on tonight I have to leave at 6AM for a road trip. I hope to be back fully on Monday. I am just testing my new high speed connection.

Hope everyone is doing well. I can't wait to catch up with you guys.

Blessings to all.

 

[pyramid2000]

Thank you for letting us know brack! We have been thinking of you. glad your trip is over. Good luck settling in.

Hey guys! Have not been on much because I've been really busy at work for the last couple of days. My thoughts have been with our northeast cruisers and their flooding. Hope everyone is safe.

We are in the middle of a minor drought hear in the southeast. I wish we could take some of that water off of your hands.

[/QUOTE]Lisa, the site looks great! You are truly wonderful for doing this.

I agree! Great work Lisa.

 

[klineyqueen]

Thanks for a great site Lisa. UR the BEST!!!!

 

[klineyqueen]

We have a BD party for my niece. I hope you guys all have fun stuff planned this weekend. We spent last night cleaning our friends basement after the flood. What a mess. Tomorrow we have people coming over for dinner and a few hands of cards. Should be fun!

 

[lbgraves]

Oh yeah! I did have a ? about the liking and late seating. Will there also be a request in what rotational time the group would like? I like late, but I don't think too late!

Yes, we can. I am thinking that 6 pm early would give everyone a chance to get back from excursions & get ready. If the late diners would like 8 pm I can request that. IMO 5:30 is just too early.

 

[pjpoohbear]

Lisa you are a goddess! I was kind of worried about a 5:30pm dinner, as I am normally at work still and do not normally get to eat dinner until 7:30 at night. But felt I really missed out on late night stuff since we had done our show and dinner and it was after 10 most nights before we were done eating.

[lbgraves]

ROFL!! I know that isn't the "popular" rotation according to most of the stressed posts on the board sometimes but that extra 30 minutes is a big difference. The 5:45 would be in AP for the formal nights. ??? The 6 pm time will also let the kids in the group see all of the characters that will be in the atrium thru 6 pm.

 

[pjpoohbear]

Lisa, where does the 6 pm rotation end up for the formal nights? That is if you have that knownledge, lol.

Penny

 

[lbgraves]

6 pm is LAP. We have been in all three dining rooms for formal nights & I SWEAR that it doesn't make the meal any less enjoyable being in PC.

 

[pjpoohbear]

I have always been on LAP, lol. It is destiny .

[brack]

Here I sit in my bed at the Hampton Inn in Washington, PA and I have just finished reading the "gozillion" posts from you guys on this thread. Do any of you sleep?

 

[brack]

I am on my first official roadtrip in my new assignment. Today I was at our camp just outside Martinsburg, WV. Now I am on my way to Moundsville, WV to do the services for the church there.

To make this trip I left Baltimore, MD at 6:30AM. Drove to camp by way of "Fredneck" MD, Hagerstown MD, and Martinsburg, WV. Left camp after the Junior Conservatory graduation through the "wilds" of WV back to Maryland I70 West. This highway goes across the top of Maryland and then back into WV for about 30 miles. Now to get to Moundsville, WV I had to go straight north into PA on I79 to Washington, PA. In Washington, PA I get back onto I70 West . I70 takes me west back into WV to Wheeling, WV (almost into Ohio) then south to Moundsville, WV . There are no real hotels in Moundsville so one would normally stay in Wheeling but they are fully booked! So it is Washington, PA for the night up early for the hour plus drive to Moundsville.

I do get to go home tomorrow

 

[brack]

GOOFYFORLIFE: I have been through "Fredneck" twice in less than a week. I wave each time for you.

I'll be back through again tomorrow on the way home. I'll wave again so look for me.

 

[brack]

I changed my location in my profile. The address can still be called Baltimore but MapQuest and other maps call where we live Nottingham.

I think that sounds much "classier" to say Nottingham. It makes me want to change my screen name to King Brack and the 7 Dwarf Knights of the Round Table. What do you all think?

 

[brack]

Several of you mentioned the clock issue on the posts. Mine appears to be off by about three hours. Any body know why yet?

 

[brack]

OK I'm caught up on my other threads as well.

It looks all you guys have really taken this 4th of July seriously and gone away. Have a great time!

When I get back home tomorrow I'll check back in and spend some time posting. I have got to get caught up with you all.

Goodnight and blessings.
