12/24/08 Christmas Cruise on the Wonder

[drag n' fly]

OMG LOOK at the tickers!!! It is 8 months from today!!!!!

Yeah, I think those rooms are under the Galley. Some people are not troubled by the overhead noise, though.

Here's how paranoid I am about overhead noise (and remember I am traveling with a baby). I got out a map of deck two and colored all of the rooms that PassPorter said were noisy pink, then colored all the rooms that only slept 3 green. Of the rooms left uncolored, only 4 were in a location that I was willing to be in and three of those had already been booked. This is how I ended up with 2112.

I realize that I have just revealed entirely too much about my detail oriented, type A, vacation planner personality. I give myself a headache.

We are putting the kids in one room and dh and I in the other so it feels like a holiday for us too
I did the same as you with my passporter too after the rooms were assigned and thought about requesting a change but was too lazy to sit on the phone so I left it.

 

[adrianna_sarah]

I will have to look into that couples thing you were talking about, Adrianna. Convincing DH might take a little work. He is usually blah about stuff that isn't man-games. But will do it reluctantly only to enjoy it. Boys.....

Courtney-

Google "Platinum Castaway Club" and she has a G-Rated great description of the Exotic Rasul and how you can have an... ahem... not so G-Rated time... oh, just let your husband read it and... That was me blushing.

Okay, well that's all it took to talk my husband into it. Nuff said. Something about the prospect of a voyeuristic attendant...

All for only $83 dollars.

Sounds like me....People at work are freaked out and shocked that I am already talking about what is available for us to do because it is 8 months away. And, yes, my how the world has changed. I still remember 9/11 and always will and exactly what happened that day. I worked in a hospital that was a mile down the road from Dallas' World Trade Center building and my dad told me not to go to work. Yeah right. A nurse not going to work when the nation is being attacked....Kinda like the military....not a day off.

Will definitely check out the Rasul link you mentioned. I read about it in Passporter (boy do I love those guys...I need to start my own version and make MILLIONS and have free vacations). I was reading the description and got to the mud part and my husband perked up immediately. Also told him about the secret deck on 7 aft and he said how secret is it?? Men....one thing on the brain. Oh...and this is on their brain too

I am getting so excited I could just pee my pants

Courtney-

Tell him the Deck 7 secret deck is not THAT secret.

Hey, I wonder where Brenda went? Brenda! Bren-da! I don't see her anywhere.

Adrianna

 

[drag n' fly]

Well it snowed here a foot overnight and the temperature is 12f here right now. We are supposed to get another 6 inches by tomorrow morning.

 

[adrianna_sarah]

I feel ya. We moved here from upstate New York. I once last all of my spring plants to a May 25th frost.

Adrianna

I certainly did. Men.....

 

[drag n' fly]

When Brenda pops back in she should give our thread a unique Christmas title.....Um ooooh Brenda are you there?

 

[TXdeVille]

Brenda?!?!?!?

 

[TXdeVille]

 

[drag n' fly]

Gee hope everything is ok with Brenda. We miss you Brenda where are you

 

[TXdeVille]

Yeah, i hope she or the fam isn't

Sorry about being MIA. DH was home, and we had a ton of yard work to do. The weather was so nice,we just had to get outside. Then I have been working out everyday. Trying to get into shape (other than round)for our 4 day pre cruise WDW marathon I have to make myself not get on the computer or I would never get out door. I'm here today though. I stepped on a african honey bee and my foot is swollen, red and itchy as can be yup,killer bees have made themselves at home under our siding. We are trying to find a bee keeper to come relocate them. The state extension office told us they are protected, therefore we can't kill the awful things.
Thanks for your concern ladies. It's nice to be missed I promise never to stay away so long again. Now I'm off to catch up

 

[drag n' fly]

Woohoo welcome back!!! Now we just have to hunt down adrianna_sarah!

 

[brendalee59]

Good morning and TGIF everyone! Cloudy, dreary day here this morning. No rain, just yucky looking.
Courtney, did you guys get any of those nasty storms earlier this week? It looked pretty bad in your area. Thankfully, for us, they stayed south of the Red River.
I'm waiting on my Dreams agent to get back to me. I emailed her two weeks ago about cancelling our oldest DD's reservation, and refunding the deposit. Haven't heard from her,which is odd. Usually if she is away, I get an email telling me she is away. I sent her another yesterday. I sure hope all is well with her. It isn't like her not to get back to me.
Well, I just wanted to check in before I started my housework. Now I'm off before I get lazy and park my backside infront of the computer all day I'll try to check back in this afternoon. Now Mrs. Adrianna, where did you get off to?

Hey Brenda we should all come up with a snappy name for our cruise thread?

 

[brendalee59]
