12/5/09 -- DUMMY -- The Cruise Your Heart Desires Most ; )

[radioclash2]

Ummm...probably not without getting expelled from school.

But then again, I do have a small bottle of Appleton Estates Jamaican Rum.

I drank mine the second night we got home with some diet vanilla coke.

 

[radioclash2]

So I've been thinking

Long week-end in Aruba to hold us over... fly in Thursday afternoon... drink by the pool... Jolly Pirate Friday... beer buckets on the beach Friday afternoon... Twistin' by the pool on Saturday... fly home Sunday...

 

[Stepht5]

I'll cruise with a lot of the same group too !! The more the ier

We may have to put the in our sig lines, also.....

As dh would say...*Sounds like a plan to me!* Only if we can leave the 2 younger kids at home!
We've actaully not gone on vacation without them BUT, there is always a first time!

Everytime I see y'all say that you would love to cruise to Aruba again I think *They should add St Lucia to the mix*. The islands are close together so it would be really easy.....
We went to St Lucia on the 10nt and it was dh's favorite island. He loved the snokelling......
Aruba, Barbados, St Lucia....all islands that Disney has gone to before and they are spectacular!
Barbados did the same type of entertainment for us that Catagena did for us.

Hey Tina - I'm not sure it is safe for you to be booked on a dummy cruise.

Hey now, don't go pickin on my boyfriend!

Okay What ever all you said and I would like to cruise with all of you again!!

I have been busy helping DD get water out of basement.

We have had 7 inches of rain in less than 16 hours!!!

We are getting more rain tomorrow and than rain on Tuesday from Ike. It did not rain the entire 17 days I was gone so maybe the neighbors should pitch in for just sending John and away cruising all year long.

Hey Cheryl, we are getting it too. Maybe we will have another cruise if this keeps!


Chaperoning going well. Getting to know the other parents. Kids have practiced twice for about 3 hours and swam for 2 hours.

So be good. I've got free wireless here at the HI in scenic Southgate MI overloking the scenic brick wall!

Gotta sign off, bed check is coming!

 

[micmse2003]

Hey Diane sign me up for the stalking team too. I wanna hang with you & Mike again.

Hey Lisa.......my feelings are hurt.

 

[cruisin'Mike]

Hey Lisa.......my feelings are hurt.

Linda and I will hang with you Cheryl.

Wonder if they have any excursions with rope swings in the Baltic?

 

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

When do you expect to cruise? 2009 would be the soonest

Where do you hope to go? All depends on the announcement. Kids will be old enough to appreciate Europe. My first pick would be another southern Caribbean.

Who would you love to cruise with ? Yall of course (man now I am sounding like Coral).

DH would love to do the Southern Caribbean again, also.

Y'all is a GREAT word. It fits in so many sentences!

 

[sk8ingmom]

boy, someone sure is chatty. This thread is on page three already. I'll never keep up.

Anyone up for a run?

Please tell me that we don't have to dress like squirrels for dinner on this imaginary cruise.

we can always twist his arm, he is after all the little brother.

OH, I have little brothers too. I know all the tricks. I can help.
Tell Mark he has to come. I owe him dinner.

So I've been thinking

Now that sounds fun.
Someone needs to pack a nanny in their suitcase.

Hey now, don't go pickin on my boyfriend!

Hey Lisa.......my feelings are hurt.

Poor Cheryl. Mom always gets taken for granted.

"You guys" is the northern version of y'all.
Guys is gender neutral.

Oh, I'm so stalking you & John too !!

squirrel, nut, road-kill which ever is easier

 

[radioclash2]

"You guys" is the northern version of y'all.
Guys is gender neutral.

and in Philly, it's "yous guys" or just "yous"

We have been there twice; both times with DCL and I would also love to go back again either on DCL or for a week (at least) vacation. It is my favorite island too. It is just sooo beautiful.

 

[tom31b]

Tom? Is that you?

Just a dummy

?

Too early I guess....

 

[Esteri]

I need a job so we can start re-stocking the Table 59 Wine Cellar!

M. may be losing that extra cabin soon.

Think we could ask for Table 59 again?

Turns out my co-workers actually did follow my blog. They said they figured it stopped about the time I got onboard and started drinking.
Um... Well.... Yeah.
So now that I'm back would I please finish it?? They were enjoying it. And hurry up before you forget everything!

Since I came back to find myself re-orged out of a position, I certainly have time one my hands right now. Fortunately, my job isn't at stake - the question is what I'll be doing going forward.

Sounds like things aren't looking too good at your end. Time to brush off that resume... again... job hunting ain't no fun.

Could you send some our way?? We havn't had rain since early June!
What if I bat my eyes and ask pretty please?

Ummm...probably not without getting expelled from school.

But then again, I do have a small bottle of Appleton Estates Jamaican Rum.

Hum.... Pocket sized. Who'd ever know?

Please tell me that we don't have to dress like squirrels for dinner on this imaginary cruise.

Better get Pete to start on your costume now.

Who want's to bring the kids? That's what grandparents are for!

Just a dummy

What's up with all the Morse Code in your sig? Can't be that much of a dummy...

Oh, I'm so stalking you & John too !!

Like we could ever hide from Cheryl!

I drank mine the second night we got home with some diet vanilla coke.

sounds good gonna try that tonight

So I've been thinking

Long week-end in Aruba to hold us over... fly in Thursday afternoon... drink by the pool... Jolly Pirate Friday... beer buckets on the beach Friday afternoon... Twistin' by the pool on Saturday... fly home Sunday...

Sounds good too
DH and I have been talking about taking an adult-only trip to Aruba

As dh would say...*Sounds like a plan to me!* Only if we can leave the 2 younger kids at home!
We've actaully not gone on vacation without them BUT, there is always a first time!

We've only done short weekend getaways without the kids. We went to WDW for a weekend without them for our 15th wedding anniversary. It was a little weird, but mostly nice

Hey Lisa.......my feelings are hurt.

Cheryl- I plan on stalking the stalkers group

Linda and I will hang with you Cheryl.

Wonder if they have any excursions with rope swings in the Baltic?

Maybe if we suggest the rope swing now, they will have it by the time we get there

 

[dahuffy]

The important questions:

When do you expect to cruise?

We're anxiously waiting to see the itineraries when they're announce for summer 2010.


Where do you hope to go?

We love the rumored ports for the Baltic cruises! St Petersburg Russia would be fantastic. Those of you who met my Nicky know that he looks and sounds like he's from Norway, so I think Oslo would be fun, plus the scenery should be breathtaking. I'd also like to see Copenhagen. If we go, it will be our first trip to Europe, so I think a whirlwind tour of some highlights will give us an idea of places that we want to go back to and explore for a longer trip.

We'd love to be able to do a back to back Baltic and the TA repo, but even if we could afford the money, I know I can't get that much time off from work.

Who would you love to cruise with ?

All of the fantastic friends that we made on the EB Repo, and all of the new ones that we'll make between now and the cruise.

I think this would be a wonderful experience too Mike,but like you,can't see Kevin getting the time off.
