12/16/06 10-day holiday cruise

[KatHuss]

oooh, Stacey, that doesn't sound good. Glad you are having a good time otherwise. My boss is in Florida this week too. Oh well...

gaRry, wow, giving someone else permission to hurt your offspring! I am honored (I think).

My dd would love to visit you. She wants to ride a horse so bad. She will get a chance next summer when she goes to the YMCA camp. She wasn't old enough this year but she will be next summer (they won't let the kids ride there until they are at least 9 for safety and liability reasons).

Just waiting for hamburger to defrost so I can start on dinner. I am starving....

 

[DCLgodess]

tell your daughter she can come ride my monster free of charge. haha.

Hi All - I had my driveway 'redressed' and it looks good. Every 3-4 years I need to have work done on it, dirt and gravel. Well this year I had a ditch and drain put in. I hope this will hold up better. Jen - Sarah leaves for Etown the 24th of Aug. I will let you know when I am going to visit her and maybe we can have lunch.

[DCLgodess]

sounds good Sue. I will ahve to see when i am off from work. Probably a week night would work the best.

 

[dobelover]

Good Morning All - I am trying to get to Curves this am. Just not moving at all!!!!!!!!!!!

[Denise Escola]

Hi everybody!!!

I have a job interview today. Yippee.

Looks like we are going to stay here for a while. Heavy penalty for early payoff of mortgage is a big reason to stay put for another 6 months.

ug: dog days of summer ug:

Have a good one all.

 

[Denise Escola]

OOH a T.O.P.

it is going to be a good day.

 

[dobelover]

Drat Denise, I always wondered why the mortgage folks made a big deal about 'no early payoff penalty'.Is that a state law?

Good luck with the interview.

Sue

 

[DCLgodess]

Aww, those are cute smilies. lol. I know nothing about morgatages, so i would be no help. lol.

 

[justmestace]

Yes, sad but true...I had to come home! I told Vicki yesterday that it wouldn't be so bad as long as I didn't have to work today. I had to work. But I did get off early.
Our flight leaving Dallas was delayed an hour, then we spent another hour on the runway, waiting to take off. All-in-all, that was four hours on the plane. Next time, I'll go for the four hour non-stop. At least I would have gotten home earlier.

Mortgages are all different, and you can generally make sure you don't have an early payoff penalty. That's the second thing I look for on any loan.....the first being the interest rate.

 

[KatHuss]

Ugh. My Dad looks to be missing his connecting flight out of Atlanta so instead of arriving at the airport in Indy at 6:08pm, just in time for dinner, he won't get in until 9:17. My poor kid will be asleep by then, or fall asleep on the way home! Oh well, at least I got a day off work out of it! The carpet cleaning guys were ringing the doorbell at 7:44 this morning and this with me waking up at 6:00 with my blood sugar REALLY low . Does not make for a happy way to wake up in the morning.

Oh well, dh and dd are in the bathroom giving the cat a flea bath! Better them than me! He is not happy about it either.

So here I sit, waiting for my dad to call and let me know what is going on.

[KatHuss]

My poor dad finally got in around 10:15 last night, then waiting for luggage and the 90 minute ride home. It was about midnight when we hit the house. He is STILL sleeping. Oh well.

gaRry, I take it Meatball is one of your horses? DD would be thrilled, I am sure. She has only ridden the ponies at the zoo and is sooooo excited about going to the camp next year and taking horse riding.

Right now I am trying to figure out how we will pay for everything next year! We put our deposit on the 10 day and that is sitting on my credit card right now. We still have the rest to pay off and will do that slowly over the coming year I think. But DH also wants to go to Hawaii next year (that was planned before the 10 day even came up) so I am looking into reasonable ways to do that. Right now airfare alone is over $600 per person! OUCH! He wants to go during dd's spring break at the end of March so I am looking into different ways to do this.

Does anyone have photos of the split baths? We have never seen them. I understand they have much more storage space than the single bath we are used to. I am trying to decide if an over door shoe holder would even be necessary.

Denise...good luck on the job interview!

Oh...does anyone have the shore excursion book from the 2004 Christmas 10-day? I saw on the DCL site about the volcano on St. Lucia and am trying to determine if there is a shore excursion that goes there. Thanks!

Well, gotta go. DD wants me to play a game with her...

 

[j-rod]

Stacey here....under DS's name.....can't get the little bugger logged out! Stupid computer.

Kat....welcome to the world of "cruise debt"!! It is a nasty virus, once gotten, it cannot be gotten rid of.

gaRry.....I'm here......busy as usual. Jay went to the cabin, so it could have been "play time" for me (shopping, eating out).....but the bags are still sitting here waiting to be unpacked! (bad bad me)

 

[KatHuss]

oh no! I don't want a virus... ugh. No, really....I love doing the cruises but hate the debt. Ah well, I don't plan on missing this one even if it is so far away (but at least we are under the 500 day mark now!).

 

[dobelover]

I am laughing about the 'cruise debt virus'. I cancelled our Oct '05 Celebrity cruise so I would have the $$$$$ for Alaska in Aug '06. Maybe Mom can get a job!!

Hi all! Keith started the kids thread for the cruise (I know, I was slow...)

It's up at 20061216 Kids Thread

I don't know, but I think the teens should have their own (separate) thread. This is meant for the kids -- DS is 9.

 

[DCLgodess]
