Hi everyone!
It's still raining here - more off/on now - yesterday it poured! If I see animals walking two-by-two, I'm heading for higher ground!
LeiLani - How great to hear you're having fun! Can't wait for the low down on how over-the-top wonderful that Cat. 1 is!
Stace - Vegas! Good for you! I could use a trip about now.....been dealing with parents who think our baseball practices should fit their schedules and not the other way around. Auughh! Is it December 18th yet??
Lisa - Our front yard looks like a small stream in one part - there's a swale that fills up when we get a lot of rain. Has it stopped down your way yet?
Mary - Hope you have a safe trip back!
Whoever shared the link about how busy WDW was at Easter, thank you! Just made up our minds to definitely do it pre-cruise, not post. I'm afraid the New Year's crowds would just be horrendous.
Have great nights everyone!

Yikes! You know it's a slow night on the board when it's been an hour since the last post and it was my previous one! 
Come back vacationers, come back!

Hello again everyone.
We are sitting in Cove Cafe enjoying an after dinner drink and listening to the deck party as we get ready to set sail from Cozumel.
We had a great day and a the girls and I really enjoyed the swim with the dolphins. We got some great pictures and video. And of course DH and I spent a lot of money shopping in Cozumel. It never fails.
I will try to post again tomorrow if I get a chance. It is our last sea day on our way to CC.
Take care and have a great evening. Good night to the east coasters and mid westerners, and early good night to all you west coasters.

Paul, yep...In 'N Out.....NOW it rings a bell! LOL
Charlotte....sending you a P.M.
Paul....sent one to you too.
Lynda...How's Cash doing? Where are you hiding?
Here's one for us: Does anyone remember THEIR first trip to see the Mouse?
I was too little to remember the first few, but I remember when I was eight, mostly from the picture of me on the Fire Truck on Main Street, and also that was the trip that I got Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and was sick as a dog. We drove from Omaha to California, and on the way back, spent the night somewhere in New Mexico on the 4th of July at a motel with bedbugs called The Blue Fox. The whole trip is still a family joke.
The BEST trip I took was to WDW with a girlfriend when we were 20. We flew to FLorida, rented a car, took in some Spring Training games, then went to visit my aunt in Naples, then drove up and spent a few days at WDW. At that time, there was still only the Magic Kingdom. I remember having a hard time imagining the Magic Kingdom on an island, and the first time without parents, running from ride to ride late in to the night. We spent a lot of time at Busch Gardens, too. I'm thinking that was because of the beer tasting!
Anyone else?

Oh, Leilani, that sounds so wonderful. We love Cozumel, and I spent a lot of money there too. Bought DH a new wedding ring. Still think about the dolphin pod we watched from the ship for about an hour before we left. I want to go on a Western cruise too!
Stacey, I don't think the Blue Fox hotel is in NM anymore, haven't seen it. That's a good thing, I guess?
David, I PM'd you about pins.
First memory of Disney? Well, I went to DL twice in High School, but my memory is not so great. I do remember that the Matterhorn was closed both times.
Ok, here's a new thought. What did you do this week to prepare for our cruise? I got back on my diet, and sold a Southwest travel voucher on Ebay. Put the money in the cruise account. With luck, I can book airfare for $200, and Travel vouchers sell for $300.

Hi Diana!
I didn't do anything nearly as productive as you did....I am glad that I'm not paying nearly as much $$ in taxes as I thought.
What I DID do is pretty silly......I wrote each day of the cruise in a line down a piece of paper, starting with the day we fly out, and I wrote down what my DH & DS will need to have for clothing for those days, which ones would mix and match, and shoes to go with. I know.....a true freak. And you KNOW the list will change a hundred times.
No way am I doing mine yet.....no idea what size I'll be. Bigger, if I don't stay away from In N Out and Dairy Queen....love those Heath Blizzards! And now, with another Vegas trip.....Creme Brulee, here I come!!
OH DEAR!

Paul & Stace - I love cheesy places. The cheesier, the better in my book!
My all-time favorite place to eat are diners - we have a great one not too far from us that's managed to survive the urban sprawl/takeover by "chain restaurants". Terrific food, friendly waitress that knows the type of beer we drink and gives us one when we walk in.......gotta love it!

Hey...we have a diner like that....get this...it's called "Cruiser's"...no kidding! Just went under new management, though, and I've heard it's going Italian. That will make about 5 Italian restaurants in our little area.
Paul......if you go to bed with that stuff in your head, you'll gain 5 pounds! Oh, wait....that kind of thing only happens to women!
Good night, Paul.

Diana,
(No, I didn't go to bed yet...DH is still working, so I'm waiting up)
My kids have me all figured out. Jordan just sits on the bed and watches to see that I'm not putting in "stupid" clothes. But, yes, they let me do all the work!
They all do....even DH's camping trips that I go on just to make him happy. I do all the shopping, packing, loading, and then everyone else just gets in the car!
The plus side....when we get there (camping anyway) I do NOTHING! So it works out okay.
