2 October 08 Wonder. Long way off but .....

[bats]

I know it's a long way off but, as with all our holidays, we're very excited.

I'm going on the 3 day Wonder cruise with my partner. Also going is my big sister, her DH, DS 16 and DD 19. My middle sister, her DH, their DS1 21, DS2 8 and DD 4. My parents are also going so quite a few of us!!

Anyone else booked for that one or are we on our own?!

Look out for our mass of door signs then .. we're in 6634. I've made about 5 for each day and loads for my family too!! Door sign overload.

hey Shipmates, we'll be there too.

 

[imadisneynut]

thats cool only 3 rooms booked on that whole ship maybe we will get suite upgrades

MSABOL01 >> Welcome onboard! Look forward to perhaps meeting you all.

It's not strictly true about only 3 cabins I'm afraid as my entire family are joining us!! There'll be 13 of us in total in 5 cabins, all with plenty of door signs for people to see.

Will you both be having fish extenders as well as door signs?

We decided to just take a peek at where you live .... seems Bucks County was named after a county in England called Buckinghamshire!

Never realised Pennsylvania was so close to New York either .. it's amazing what the internet can teach you! Looks a lovely place .. lots of nice snowy pictures.

We have very thick fog here at the moment so I keep looking at the trip reports and wishing the time away between now and our holiday in Sept.

We live right near Rochester, Kent which is where Charles Dickens lived and wrote. We have a Dickens Festival every year and thousands of people descend upon the town .. loads come from the US for it.

Anyway, I'm off to read more trip reports!

fun thing is that I looked up were you live in england. I can't wait to go on this cruise. stuck in the house with all this rain we are having

Did you see anything good about where we live? We don't see much of the good stuff but we have some beautiful castles and stately homes in Kent. Try looking up Leeds Castle, Kent in google .. the most beautiful castle in the world and just down the road for us. It really is an awesome sight and Mick and I were luckily enough to take a hot air balloon flight over it last summer.

We also have Hever Castle about an hour away which is where Anne Boleyn lived as a child. There's a film just about to be released about Anne Boleyn and all of the filming was done in Kent .. we're so proud! (Can you tell?!)

We're 40 minutes from London but to be honest, we don't get there that often. We've been a few times in the past month though to watch Cirque du Soleil and Dirty Dancing ..which were both excellent.

What's your area like?

A-ha ... more of the same family!! I shall be looking out for all the door signs ... you had some excellent decorations on your hotel door so I'm expecting big things now!!

We've got a million and one signs and because of this blinkin' board, I keep doing more! Everyone has such good ideas don't they?

Nearly less than 200 sleeps to go.

 

[Imagoofy1]

I guess I better get going on making something for our door --- have not started anything yet and we only have 7 months to go so i better get started

DBf and I are thinking of joining. We are thinking of doing the Everest Challenge and the cruise later that week. We don't have kids so just the two of us

 

[Imagoofy1]

Great - the more the merrier

It's just the 2 of us too .. well, us and 11 other members of my family, but we have no children together.
What's the Everest Challenge? Is it the same as my chocolate challenge, where I try to eat as much chocolate as possible in the space of 1 day?!

Lol no but I like your idea WAY better The Everest Challenge is a 5k at night at AK with a scavenger hunt and obstacle course afterwards. Something to get me more motivated and in shape for the cruise. Bikini here I come!!

I sure do hope you're a female as the thought of a guy in a bikini is disturbing!!
I think it would be a great end to the challenge to see how many cocktails we can sink (I'll manage about 2 by the way .. pathetic).

Come on, book it up and start your door signs.

DBF and I are going to NYC next month PLUS he is going to Disney with his family in July (without me ) So it's kind of a hard sell. He says yes and I am hoping we get a good tax return and can use that as a deposit...we'll see. It helps that I am a TA and can get us a pretty good rate on the hotel.
