12/16/06 10-day holiday cruise Part 4

[3pirates]

We joined DVC in 1993. We've added on a couple of times since then.

But, I've never tried to make a reservation when they don't have the points charts out yet. Especially when you go outside of the resorts, I wasn't sure how that worked!

Hey Robin, Joanie, I have a DVC question for you. When the cruises were announced, you booked assuming when points came out you would apply them. Does that mean you booked through Member Services or how did you do that?

hi sherrena,
hope your weekend is going well...
as for the points i have been a member forever..this is the first time they allowed us to book a cruise wthout having the point value yet (that i know of)...i bookd it wth member service but when they came out wth the point value (which took them forever) i changed my week to the better week pointwise..thy are going to guarantee me the catagory i wanted but wont tell me what deck or room i am in untill i board the ship.. ..i guess its an adventure...basically i didnt book to be in the room..so i dnt really care where it is..just as long as it has a port hole for light...
some say they could upgrade us,complimentary, if they overbookd my catagory..i do not know if this is true..
i imagine when the points came out some people had to cancel because they didnt have enough points...it was alot of points..and there was only one date for the lesser points..but it wasnt that much less..i dont care..i cant wait..
ill sleep in the life boat if i have to..i love thr cruises..

 

[3pirates]

Mmmmm...seems to me they should be willing to give you a room assignment, same as if you booked with cash!

Oh well, long as you're willing to sleep in the lifeboat!!!

 

[KSDTink]

Heck, I'd sleep on deck at this point!

How are you doing, Sherrena??

 

[3pirates]

Those lounge chairs WERE pretty comfy!

Doing OK. We're heading to a friends place at the beach this weekend...we'll get back mid-week then boys start school two weeks from yesterday!

And I know...You're going to Disneyland!

Time keeps flying by!

[KSDTink]

One week!!! 7 days from now we will be on our way!!! Including the layover at O'Hare is should be about 7 hours. But we get in at 1:25 local time so will still have a good half day!

Here is Tink....

Sorry, I forgot about putting her out here!

My hand is still killing me. The last two fingers on my left hand are constantly tingling with that asleep feeling and I cannot grip with it. I get the stitches out on Friday. ugh

 

[HAPPY-AT-DISNEY]

Well, the SIL's BF got arrested the other day. One class C and two class D felonies against my niece (who is 10 years old!). They have evidence from his computer hard drive plus she says that he slept in her bed, had her take showers with him and he did just about everything but have actual in*******se with her!!!!! Like this is a surprise to any of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel bad for the kid. SIL told the ex last night and he is going to be at the courthouse first thing this morning to use this in his battle for full custody. Hopefully he will get it!!!!!


On a more cheerful note, got dd registered for school last night and stopped in to see her teacher (same one as last year).

WOW what is up with all these Sexual preditors seems you can trust no men What is wrong with the Mother....if I had a daughter and a BF I would be sure to keep an eye open for signs/changes in my daughter...

How did he get caught/found out????? creep

Well, see it's like this...she met him online about 3 years ago and they started dating. After about 6 months she had him move in (in my mother's house, mind you!). Shortly afterwards we got flyers in our mailbox from the national database for sex offenders with his picture. So we asked them what was up with that. Apparently he told her when they started dating but had her convinced that he was innocent and it was all a frame! Dave and I didn't believe it though and wouldn't let Sam go over there if he was the only adult around after that. Shortly thereafter we told them he had to move out as I was not going to have my mother put up with the abuse the neighbors were perpetrating. Even after he moved out they took video with dates whenever he stayed overnight, etc. Then last December just before the cruise Mom kicked her out due to the credit card fraud thing.

Well apparently earlier this week DN told a friend that someone was hurting her. The little girl who is 11 and 1 month older than Sam went to her mom and asked her if someone told her they were being hurt should she tell the parent. Her mom, in an uncommon show of common sense, told her yes AND didn't press for details. So she told the SIL. So a 10yo went through a full rape exam and recounted all the various things he did over 2+ years AND they found naked pics of her on his computer's hard drive!

This is DH's sister and he just shakes his head. He pretty much disowned her last year over the cc fraud with my Mom and given the BF's history this didn't really surprise us at all. Sad....

Hope you're feeling better, and Tink is as lovely as I remember!

That is an awful story! I'm with Robin, I don't get it!

We head for a few days at the beach staying at a friends house tomorrow! Dave has to come back early, but the boys and I stay until Wednesday.

Kat, I know you'll be wingin' it to California by then, so have a great trip! We'll talk to you later. (And we're planning to hear all about it!)

Man someone hit a skunk and so I stopped to move it out of the road but coud not tell if it was dead or not and know I smell.....my kids are running away from me(coud be a good thing) and the dog ran around the house crazy.

Poor skunk it was just hit and did not see any blood at all so put it comfortably near a bush off the road.

Hmmm anyone gt some tomatos

Robin, we are staying at the Anaheim Camelot, across the street. I am so excited, we leave tomorrow!!!!!! Tonight to Indy, motel near the airport.

Tink is on my left arm, outside of the arm near the shoulder.

According to the weather forecasts I have found it is supposed to be hotter here the rest of the week than it is supposed to be in LA!!!!

Why tomatoes?? Do they help with skunk smell? I coworker's dog had a runin with a skunk and she says he still stinks.

Hi everyone!

Just got back from the beach. We stayed with friends at Grayton Beach, just outside of Seaside and Watercolour on the Florida panhandle. Had a good time. The weather was nice until yesterday. Then it just got blasted hot and the breeze died. We're having a REALLY hot week this week. But I guess a lot of the country is.

Robin, we started going to WDW every few years at New Years for the milennium. We have a blast! It is such a great place to be! We'll be doing it this year again because the kids don't go back to school until something like January 8. Our technique is to go to the parks for the day, then about 9:00 when it gets so crowded you can't walk, we head back to the room, find a beverage, play some games with the kids, and then about 11:30 head to where we can see fireworks. It's really fun!

OK, back to RL-- and back-to-school planning!

Kat, hope you're having fun in California!
