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

[Cyberkashi]

Dean: You skipped us on the Master Cruisers List.

Jami, Scott, Jazi (7) in cabin 8076


Gary, I think that embroidery would be nicer than silk screen for the extra couple of dollars but I will support whatever you decide.


-- Jami

My sincere apologies, Jami. This old avacado just simply overlooked yawl. It's probably Karyn's fault - she was doing the doc dance and distracted me. I've added you and will repost in a week or so. Thanks for pointing it out.

I guess it's been a slower day. I just got on for the first time and I thought I might have pages of posts to catch up on if today was anything like yesterday!!

Well, my mom was discharged from the hospital yesterday, late afternoon. She's still not 100% , but she is much, much better than she was this time last week. We are going to have 'Christmas' at my sister's on New Years Day with my mom since she was in the hospital for it. Mom was upset that she didn't get the kids their gifts on Christmas but I think they will be psyched when they realize they have more coming to them on the 1st!

Hats -- Thanks again for doing it Gary and I am fine with whichever you decide. I can mail you the difference if you decide to upgrade to embroidered or if you go with silk-screened, that's fine too.

And for the master list, Dean. The next time you update it, add our names, if you don't mind... kmc33 (Kim), DH (John), and DS (Luke).

Congrats on the docs, Karyn! Dean, I hope yours come soon!

Thanks!

 

[dheller97]

Sorry, Kim, I didn't realize I had left off your names. I got it taken care of. Glad to hear that Mom is back on the road to recovery.

Had a drink with my staff after work tonite for New Year's and now I should be able to get back into the posting groove tomorrow. Big day tomorrow - somebody is joining the ranks of us elderly folks Hmmmm, wonder who - paybacks for getting documents before others are .........

G'nite everyone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KARYN!

Have a great party day!

Hey Dean, Thanks! Some how the joints are stiffer and it was harder to get out of bed this morning, now that I'm so old! (Maybe it was all that doc dancing last night.)

Say, how does the weather look out that way for driving in the next few days? Randy is threatening to leave today if driving conditions look good enough.

Kim thanks for keeping us updated on your mom. Glad that she's better and sorry that shes not all the way yet. It will be fun for the kids to have a second "Christmas".

Sorry I wasn't in last night, close friends took us into the city for dinner - we had a blast. Its so hard saying goodbye to everybody.

Well, everybody, have a very fun Karyn's Birthday today! And don't party too much in my honor!


Karyn

 

[dheller97]

Hope you have a great day. I'll put on my weather cap now and let you know that temps are expected in low 40's through weekend then dropping to highs in single digits and lows to -10 on Monday. Chance of light snow in the Black Hills with a big storm expected by Tuesday of next week. I'm ready for a boat drink, in a warmer climate.

Dean

 

[Kabuli1]

Dean, I did notice that it's purty durned cold out your way. Weirdly here we've got an expected high of 42 (38 right now) - feels like spring. So things look pretty clear thru the weekend? Ranj has to be in Seattle for work on Monday.

I 'spect we'll spend the am packing and then make a decision about whether Randy takes off today or tomorrow. I'll be hanging out not too far from the computer all morning.

You know, it doesn't sound good to say that on the day I turned 50 my DH left me and moved to another state!

Karyn

 

[OKWMEMBER]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KABULI!!!!

I hope you didn't hurt yourself doing the Doc Dance!

Cap, your UPS guy has a mean streak!!!

Dean, The4OfUs, hang in there! "Someday your docs will come..."
(Sung to "Someday my Prince will come)

I can e-mail copies of my super-deluxe vacation checklist to anyone that has Microsoft Excel.

About the hats, I think I'm going to stick with the silkscreen version and the original price. Put the $3-4 extra dollars toward a boat drink (non-alcoholic for the kids) or a DCL Refrigerator Magnet!

HADD!!!

 

[dheller97]

Gary - I have Excel and I'm ready . I think the silk screen on the hats will be great. Thanks again for your efforts.

Got email from Expedia.com that our documents are coming directly from DCL and to expect them no later than one week prior to departure. I'LL GO NUTS IF I HAVE TO WAIT THAT LONG!!!

Hey, "old woman" - er, Karyn. Did ya get my card? How could I forget you? Afterall, you were my first.

See you later.
ean

 

[Kabuli1]

No card yet, Dean, but the day is young!

Gary please send me that excel file! Kabuli1@aol.com

Dean, I was going to type in the "someday my docs will come" song myself this morning. It would be excruciating to wait that long! At least you have Nikki to keep you company.

The only thing I looked at last night before I put them away was whether we'd been upgraded, cause I didn't want to be this time, since we're in two cabins. I didn't even check to see if the docs were for the correct cruise dates! OH MY! What if they weren't??? Maybe I should go take a closer look!

Well, Cheers! Got to get back to packing!

Karyn

 

[kmc33]

Happy Birthday, Karyn!!!

We will have a toast in your honor tonight!! Hope you have a great day!

 

[The4OfUs]

Happy Birthday Karyn!!

Dean, just spoke to my MIL/TA, and she just booked our airline seats for us - we have a 6:45am flight from BOS to MCO, arriving at 10am, what will we do all day at the AIRPORT? I had hoped to come in later that day, but oh well, a day at the pool I guess, as we're not renting a car for one day!! And we have to check in in Boston 2 hours before, what, FOUR FOURTY FIVE AM??? *sigh*

Our return flight home, and I quote:
--------------------------------
Saturday, Feb 7 Orlando to Boston

US Air Flight #340 Depart Orlando 12:30 pm Arrive Pittsburgh 2:44 pm

Seats 26 E & F 27 E & F

US Air Flight #602 Depart Pittsburgh 4:10 pm Arrive Boston 5:44 pm

Seats 13 A B C D

I spoke directly to airlines for seating. All of these seats are as close to the front as can be obtained while keeping you together. The MCO/PIT does have scattered seats closer to front.

Disney said they were lucky to get return flights and they had no non-stops.

-----------------------------------------

I don't know what she means when she says "Disney said they were lucky to get return flights"...is the 7th a busy travel day? *grin*

So anyhow...now I don't expect the docs to be that far behind!! Whoo hoo!!

Any exciting plans for tonight, anyone? I'm better, but now DS is miserable, and trying desperately to throw up just to settle his tummy...so I'm staying home and we'll watch Nickelodeon all night. DH is working anyhow, so it's yet another Rugrats kind of New Years in our house.

 

[dheller97]

What, no card yet? I stuck it in with my documents to send to you. Oh, that's right I DON'T HAVE MY DOCUMENTS YET DO I???
C'mon, Nikki, let's do a pre-doc dance while we wait.

Dean

 

[shingle]

does anyone have any info on the new key west excursion called STARGAZING TOUR it is listed on the itinerary price list sent by dcl

 

[Cap]

Gary, please send me a copy of your Excel list also. I think you have the email from the hat order.

Karyn, You'll find now that you're over that half century mark, that many of your friends move away - either they are retiring to a warm climate, or just don't want to be around old folks.

It's a beautiful sunny and warm (for Michigan Dec 31) day. I'm tempted to go do something useful, like clean the garage, while I wait for UPS. HOPE HOPE HOPE.

Have a great day all, and drive safely tonight.

 

[Cap]

Shingle,

I don't have the Disney tour list - no docs yet. However, this might be the tour, since I think we don't leave port until late at Key West.

http://www.keyweststargazer.com/Cruise.asp .

Give it a try.

 

[shingle]

cap thanks for the info

 

[Kabuli1]

Thanks for the greetings everyone.

So, Cap, are you saying that my DH is moving to WA to get away from me??? Cause I'm too old?

Shingle, that stargazer thing sounds great - maybe I could join you, Randy will want to watch the Super Bowl!

Dean, that's some picture of Nikki you posted!

Karyn

 

[The4OfUs]

LOL! Where'dya get that pic, the last time I wore my bellydancing costume, I was in college and it was BLUE!



(Seriously - my college was ... unique. I took bellydancing as a PE credit one year! *grin*)

My poor baby boy - on Advil, and yet his fever is STILL 102.7. I'm off to find a fun movie and some ginger ale - I want to find a copy of the original Disney Treasure Island, or something along those lines, he'd love that!

Yarr!

*ahem*

Sorry. Going abit stir crazy.

Even tho I didn't get my docs yet, I do have that excursion thing, they sent that to my TA earlier...but I don't have the stargazer bit in this little brochure, sorry shingle!
