20040131 ~ Cruising Jan 31 2004 Western Who's with us?

Yeah, right, Dean! Blame it all on ME!!!! Well, according to Nikki, Disney doesn't book your air till 30 days out and then you get your docs - So I'll get mine first! So there! And the romance thing - just tell Matt to knock first! Oh and there's a deadbolt on the door! LOL! I told you, send him with us in Grand Cayman and the two of you can act like the honeymooners you are! Hey, there's still romance to be had - do one of the couples things at the spa - verrrrry nice. There's always the Surial Bath. The Rainforest can be signed up for at any time. Randy will almost certainly sign up for the whole week again - he loves steam rooms and saunas.

I love the scented showers down there. In fact, I used the showers in the spa rather than in the room cause they were bigger and had great hair products and cleansing lotions. (I was also competeing w/DH and two teenage girls for shower time - so I threw in the towel and went to the spa instead.

So, are we all skipping Mexicalli night and heading to Palo?

Scott, I love ROTK - have only seen it 6 times so far, I'm slipping up somewhere! Your best plan for arrival is to send one of you to the table chage and the other to Palo - then you get to lunch quicker! Oh and depending on how young your child is, you may need to sign up for evening child care as soon as you get on board. But, I really don't know too much about that.

Kim's right, people w/tweens usually get PLA (which I liked very much) but remember folks - this is only the "usual" pattern, exceptions occur all the time. Our last cruise we just figured out what we would do depending on which rotation we got. I had a chart that I dug out while in line and gave directions to Randy. I went up to the spa to reserve different things, hw did Palo Reservations then we went to Parrot Cay for lunch. We lost Jill and her cousin immediately - (I just asked her, they went up to Topsiders for lunch).

This is so cool, actually starting to plan for a real and SOON cruise. But so much to do before then!

Hey, is somebody going on a cruise or something? Everyone has made the jump to lightspeed!!!:cool2: Gail and I better get on the stick and start planning stuff! To be honest, we aren't going to do much besides bingo and finding a well located deck chair. We don't have kids so we can get busy any time we want. (I'm going to here from Gail for saying that!!!:teeth: ) Palos isn't a real high priority, either, but that's just us! We're on the ship to relax and escape reality for a week.

Oh, I almost forgot! BOAT DRINKS!!!:boat:

HADD!!!:wave: :wave2:
 
:bounce: :Pinkbounc great to see the excitement building on the boards as the cruise gets ever nearer only 28 days before we leave rainy wales for HOPEFULLY sunny florida:Pinkbounc :bounce:
 

Just passed out for about an hour in bed...first I was freezing, now I'm dying from the heat. *sigh* A call to the dr and a second opinion informed me that "viral bronchitis" is med-speak for "the flu"...so much for the stupid shot! *sigh*

Yeah, my MIL/TA said that they open the seating charts 30 days from the day of the flight...and that they fax info about pre-booking Palo anywhere from 30-45 days out....so we'll see, hopefully I'll be doin' the document dance sometime early next week!!

Hey, sunshine and orange juice are good for the flu, right? That's that, I'm going now, everyone can meet me there....

(Don't I wish!! LOL!)
 
We don't have kids so we can get busy any time we want.
Gary, I don't know what you mean by that!!! ;) ;) ;) ;)

:
Yeah, right, Dean! Blame it all on ME!!!!
Hey, Karyn, I didn't mention any names. You gave yourself away. Must be the conscience thingy. :smooth:

I was hoping The4OfUs was going to say MIL/TA indicated that her arrangements were made and we who used DCL for air wouldn't have to be the last ones to jump up and down.

Dean

:cool1: :cool1: :cool1:
 
You know what they say about saving the best for last!!

....


..


...



Yeah, I know. Didn't make me feel better either.

*sigh*


:p
 
UPS guy was here. Grrrrrrrr.... What does this tell you?
Karyn, he told me yours weren't coming today either so don't even bother to look.

Dean

:cool1: :cool1: :cool1:
 
Hang in there, Dean! We don't want you to stress out before you even leave!!! Breath deeply and think of palm trees and umbrella drinks. :crazy:

" Just sit right back and I'll tell a tale, a tale of a fatefull trip
that started from a tropic port, aboard a Magic ship!!!"

To be continued....
 
Well, we had 28 posts so far today. Good job, everybody!! Karyn said we needed 9.4 per day to reach our goal of 1000. I figure I can go off and pout and sulk for 2.97 days before I have to come out again.

SO, DID ANYONE ELSE GET THEM TODAY?

Dean

:cool1: :cool1: :cool1:
 
Dean, don't slink off and sulk! Have you figured out yet why the rest of us plan our own airfare? It's simply cause we don't want to wait as long for docs! (that and the fact that for many of us we can do it a whole lot cheaper watching for specials.) I don't think my docs will come today either, Dean, just a feeling I have. I won't find out till later since I'm going out to see my favorite movie very shortly. I just have to make sure Randy's up and awake before I leave, I don't want Miss JIll answering the door for the UPS guy.

Does this make 29? If we manage 33 everyday plus a few on the last Friday for those who haven't left yet, we could make it to 2000! Whadya think?

Nudge me when my documents arrive.

ROTK, again? You must be up to about 7 times by now.

Dean

:cool1: :cool1: :cool1:
 
Seven times in the theater! *grin* That's cool! When Star Wars first came out (geez, not dating myself at all am I) I saw it in the theaters like 27 times...I can still pretty much quote that entire movie...

...

Now I want to watch it.

But wait! "Worlds Apart" is on National Geo. Channel tonight! Anyone with kids, I suggest this highly...nothing like watching kids brought up on nintendo go to a third world country and try to fit in....

Hi! Got this GREAT message from Cruises only.com our travel company~!

For your information, we shipped your cruise documents today.
They were sent by US Mail - First Class Priority to:

MARK DALTON
REF: 348977


Your documents should arrive within four or five days. If you
do not have them within a week, please call us.


We are totally excited!!!!!!!!
 
Congratulations, Mardal!! Both Gary and Karyn said I have to be nice, and since it's been a while since you were here visiting with us, well, I'm being nice and I am glad you got your documents.

In case you haven't heard, I haven't gotten mine yet and now I plan on being last. That is why I'm pouting and sulking in the corner.

Welcome back!

Dean

:cool1: :cool1: :cool1:
 
Dean,

There is hope for you. Remember, "the last ones shall be first, and the first ones last." Maybe you can be first in line for boarding, or for a Sail-Away drink. No need to sulk.
 
Wow! 36 posts today, we will make it to 2000! I'm so proud of all of you!

Dean, I think I will be in the Bitter End Club with you! No docs for me today! Maybe cause our docs are linked for dinner, they don't want me gloating over you. I humbly ask your forgiveness in sack cloth and ashes!

Yes! ROTK for the 7th time is STILL good! Nikki, I was proud of seing Star Wars in the theater 13 times that summer! Wow, you must have been a very young thing back then - I was a year out of college. You all know how old I am so that's giving nothing away. Ok, if we're doing the confession thing here's my LOTR tally: Fellowship of the Ring: 30 times in the theater (now folks you have to remember that this movie is at least 1 hour longer than Star Wars so that's 91 hours- two times the extended version!); a few less times seeing The Two Towers: 20 to be exact, only once extended so a mere 60.5 hours. Now, I figure that w/ ROTK being the last and best I have to see it more often than FOTR.:crazy:

So, it was good to see Mark show up for an appearance on the thread! You could come back every now and then and wave at us. We do need your input as often as possible to move this thread closer to the top.

I'm still waiting for my ship to come in, need those boat drinks!

Karyn
 
One more post! Welcome back Mark! Don't be a stranger!

Great job with THE LIST, Dean!

HADN!!! (Have A Disney Night!) :wave: :wave2:
 
39 posts in one day! Mama Karyn is proud of all of you!

This was such a fun day! I am so looking forward to meeting each of you in person! I'll be the one in Lime green, wearing a goofy lime green hat - grabbing you for a BIG hug on 1/31!

Karyn
