Wow! As the official Beer Tender for the crew, I will bring you the drink of your choice as you continue on with your packing!

Juli

 

[dizmomof2]

Okay guys, we're almost there! I'll bump us up a post!

I'll be here until Friday but I vote for Renae to close us out.

What do you say Renae

 

[Juli]

If there's any way I could get a lime green crew toque, I'd love one. But Dean may really wish that we wrastle for it once we are on the boat! I'm a bit rusty, but I'll give it a go.

I'm Packed! I'm Packed!! I'm Packed!!! I'm Packed!!!! Hooray! It only took me until the NIGHT BEFORE to do it, but it's DONE and sitting by the door! I have jsut about everything done- my room is almost completely finished- like the rest of my house- just needs some last minute packing before the move (Except my move is only about 15 minutes away, not cross-crountry!!) I'm done packing, I had beautiful Senior pictures taken today... I'm feeling good- Everything's done! The only thing i'm dreading is Waking up around 3 or 4 AM tomorrow, then traveling (Plane & car), then an OVERNIGHT visit (those college folk stay up laaaate

*whimper*

) Just think: We'll be cruising in about 4 days!! I'm ready to get rid of this horrible snow and bask in the sunlight! Well, i'm out for now- this MAY be my last post before we take off- so If it is, thanks a bunch for everything- DIS is a world of it's own!! Take care- travel safely- and i'll see everyone soon!!

Sorry, age has brought me a little bit of wisdom. I learned the only one I want to wrestle for ANYTHING is Cheri - even if it means losing out on a special toque.

Way to go, Karyn - CONGRATS ON NUMBER 2,500!!!!!

Hey, Bobby - we did it - we reached your goal of 2,500 before we all left.

OK, we have a nomination and a second. Any further names to be placed in nomination or any further discussion on the floor of the name submitted before the co-chairs consider the nominations?

 

[OKWMEMBER]

As the other co-chair, I third the nomination and hereby and therefore appoint Renae as the officially person to turn out the lights, make sure the iron is off, check for running water, turn off the gas and whatever else you do before you leave the thread/home person!!!

Motion carried, Book'em Dan-o, Golly Bob-a-Howdy, Vern!!!

Juli, I'm the one with the bucket hats and I'll reserve a Lime Green one for you!!!

Dean, I'm going to dial you up shortly.

 

[Kabuli1]

Hey Gary, how come you're calling Dean and not me???

I was just talking to Renae! We're going to try to see her tomorrow at the store!


Can you tell? I'm getting excited!

Karyn

 

[dheller97]

Na-na-na-na, I got to talk to Gary and you didn't. Na-na-na-na.

You need to get up early, no time for sitting around with froofroo drinks waiting for phone calls, eh? Just be careful in the morning, okay. Besides, I'd hate to have to find new tablemates at this late stage of the game.

 

[auntrenae]

Yes, dear friends, I'll be the last one out, feed the dog, lock the door, stop the mail (most important for us) stop the paper, wash the windows, and clean the house like a crazy woman! Unless, as Karyn says, someone will be the last to post from the board, then I'll be talking to myself Friday night!

ttfn, Renae

 

[auntrenae]

Cap,
Sorry to disappoint you with the drinks, that's what I have! I did say my lemonade was fresh squeezed and really good, doesn't that float your boat? If not, sorry! I'll make it up to you with hot chocolate souffle', how does that sound??? How about some maple glazed salmon? It's a secret family recipe... not mine, but hey I can have some sent to your table.... how about that?
he he he he he,
Renae

First, thanks to Dean, Barbara, Gary, and everyone else who has made this "soap opera" so interesting over the past several months. It really is great to start the vacation so early via these boards.

To everyone who has not finished packing - remember you may get some cool, but not cold, weather. We're in Naples, FL now and today has been cloudy, windy, and in the high 60's. While it wasn't cold, Judi wanted to wear a light sweater outside.

We've just finished rearranging the clothes, so all the winter things we don't need until after we finish the cruise are in one suitcase.

Karyn, moving is good for you. It helps to clean out the "house arteries', by forcing you to get rid of stuff you've been saving, but will never need.

Dean, the top five things to remember to do are:
1 - Don't miss the plane
2 - Don't miss the plane
3 - Don't miss the plane
4 - Don't forget your credentials (passport or birth certificate / ID).
5 - Don't forget your cruise docs.

Everything else can be bought or done without, even Speedos.

 

[dheller97]

We were just wondering how you are doing after your doctor's visit yesterday. Just don't forget, we are still here for a couple of days if you need someone to talk to or even if you need someone to knock around a little bit

 

[Cap]

Someone asked about my post from Sunday about a long Ethernet cable. To my knowledge, there is NOT internet access in the rooms on the ship. I was in a hotel and complaining that they had put the Internet access on the opposite wall from the desk, and that my 10' cable did not reach. This will be the first time we've been "home" to Boardwalk since they install the Internet access there, so I won't know until tomorrow if the connections are appropriately placed.

Shannon, I think they let people on the cruise if they are coughing. However they clearly will NOT let anyone on who has, or mentions, any symptoms of an intestinal visus, even if you just ate a bad hot dog. They are very scared of the Norwalk virus. It's kind of like security at the airport - don't even joke with they about being sick, or they will not let you on board.

 

[Cap]

Team, Really great job on the posts. We cleared 2500. Just think, at one time we were trying to get to 1600, and then thought we might make 2000 total before the cruise.

Isn't it wonderful what we can accomplish through a little bit of teamwork and cooperation.

Thanks again to everyone for the humor, tips, feedback, and general support. See you on the cruise.

Cap and ArtistJudi.

Dean,

While you will be gone next week, did you ask to have space reserved on the front page the following week for your Disney Cruise Review article. I think a nice picture you in your Speedo would probably improve the newspaper circulation in the 13 paper area in SD. If you forgot, who can I call at the printing plant to have them standby for late breaking news?

 

[Kabuli1]

Renae, stop it, you're making me hungry!

Cap, moving is good for me like all kinds of other nasty things my mom said were good for me?

Sniff, Gary called Dean and not meeeeee, wah!

ok, then, I'm going to take my toys and go to Florida!

Have a good night boys and girls! I'll try to post before I leave in the morning! Nikki, you'd better be right about the weather!

Karyn

And we're off.

See you all down there on the ship.

Mike

 

[Kabuli1]

Buh Bye Mike!

Karyn

 

[dheller97]

Bye, Mike - please be careful.
