12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 3

[brack]

OK while everyone's gearing up for the posting frenzy I'll check on the other threads I have subscribed to.

Lasagna is in the oven, so I have an hour. We got new neighbors today and DD insisted we make rice crispy treats, so it has been a long kitchen day...

Lisa, Debbie is out until August 1st.

Maybe I will go check out the bio's on the site.... BTW DD will be turning 7 on New Years Eve, not 6. But it is a minor typo. I just didn't want you all to think I had a 4 1/2 year old in Kindergarten...

I am being all serious today. It is odd, but I have another question. I noticed today that I cannot make early reservations for salon or any of the really cool spa treatments. Is this correct?

Kim

Why is that? Get onboard & run to the concierge reception so that you can request what you want then.

I should have questioned your email after you were saying that DD's emails were making perfect 6 yo sense.

 

[becka]

I went back and read the bios on the site. I did that when I first signed up but not since then. It is nice to learn some more about some of you who are posting.

Lisa - I don't remember seeing several of the families listed on the site. Have you confirmed that everyone on the site is still going?

BTW...I have never said anything but you have me listed as becca everywhere when it actually is becka with a 'k'. Not a huge deal but just thought I would mention it. Also under the Flounders kids section you have Allie as 20 months but she will be 22 months.

Trust me. That is my plan! I just thought it was odd. If you go on the site, all the good treatments (deep tissue massage), and the salon (for DD hair on Formal Night, so we can stay friends) are not available to book online only on the ship.... I guess I had the impression you could book everything.

No worries! I am sure it was me anyway...

I thought the same thing. It seemed like half the spa stuff you could not book in advance. I always had the impression it was everything as well.

I did the same thing! It actually was a lot more interesting after chatting for a while.

Like for instance I did not realize your were from UT. For some reason I was thinking Oregon. It is hard to keep people straight. I probably should start reading the bios more often to see if that helps me keep everyone straight.

You already changed it.... Dang..... you are goooood girl!

Remember that I am nowhere near anyones idea of the center of the know universe? We are the one state that no presidental candidate ever comes to or spends even $1 in. But, we have some great skiing!

I like my little cheat sheet, but it is to little... I need to add and fix...

Kim

One of my oldest friends used to live in Provo. She attended BYU but her DH got a job in Phoenix and they moved there a few years ago. She really loved it out there.

I found one with a K with your picture. Fixed the others.

I have pmd a few people to verify that they are still going & one has been kicking back the emails. I will start to weed out the ones who are not active a couple weeks before the cruise. I have gotten pms from a couple people giving info to update the site though they aren't posting alot.

Kim, hate to be the one to tell you but DD wont be able to get a hair appointment. It is for adults only. They have a teen night with the stack but that is it.

 

[lbgraves]

Kim, we watched a show on the discovery channel the other night about the two canyons in UT. I think that one was Bryce? It was beautiful! I told DD that you guys lived in the same state.

Count your blessings Kim . . .

Ohio was like a carnival last presidential election. We were, and still are, a key battleground state. Where we live had voted for the last umpteen winners in presidential elections, and a chap from the NY Times lived here for a year analyzing the community. Well, this last election we narrowly voted for Kerry, and you know the rest. So long Belleweather.

We even had Paula Zahn here live for one of her live shows (she grew up here part of her childhood, and her mom still lives here), and I was invited to be in the audience because of my school board activities. They asked for questions in advance, we even actually thought the candidates might come - NOT. We got their slick sound bite guys. I had a great question on NCLB, but didn't get picked to ask. Being in the audience was interesting though, and DW saw me on TV.

John - Missouri is also won of those bellweather swing states and we get bombarded during elections. I get where I can't hardly stand to turn on any TV or radio because of all the ads. People around here get so nasty too. It just seems to bring out the worst in people when all you hear for months is mudslinging.

Lisa did you get my PM with my confirmation number?

Get out! Are you serious? I am going to have to put rollers in my DD hair myself? ARGGGGG. On all the RCCL cruises, we just had the salon do her hair. You can't see it in her picture, but it has only been trimmed in the last 6 years, so it is very long...

Really Really Adults Only? How can that be on a Disney Cruise? Can you tell I am stunned? Do you think the concierge people do hair? It is our #1 fight every morning.
