Ah, the joys of country life!

That is a great time for me. How does everyone feel about 7:30 for a walk meet?

Is this every day or just sea days?

I'd be interested in walking too. I like the "deck 4, steps, deck 9, steps, deck 10" plan. More interesting than going in circles on deck 4!!

Count me in for the early morning walks as well. I'm a morning person - Mark isn't. We do have an 8 am spa appointment one day so not sure what you all are calling early, but count me in.

I would love to get in on the walking too. I powerwalk at home and had planned to bring my clothes and shoes on the cruise. I like the mornings, but am hoping for a bit of a rest on the trip. Bad thing is I tend to wake early! So I will likely be on for walking every a.m.

Here's a reduced image of our door magnets -- I still have to cut them, but at least they're done!

Keith was worried Santa won't find him on the ship... I love having a gifted 8-y/o who still worries about Santa not finding him

Kara -- I'm sorry about your experience...My TA is from DU -- I don't know if that makes a difference, or if it's the notorious DCL inconsistency (were you here for the 90-day Shore Excursion Reservations Fiasco?)

At any rate…I'm sorry...

 

[dee47]

Mary -- you are a gem!

Dee - the magnets look great.

Okay, now I'm confused. I drove I-69 regularly for 5 years, and I can't remember where Dexter is. I went to college in Flint, and grew up in Indianapolis, so I-69 (including the lovely temporary route through Lansing) was my stomping grounds!

So Teresa, remind my tired brain please????

Dexter, MI is nestled between Ann Arbor and Jackson. If you take I-94 West from Detroit to reach Ann Arbor, then 15 miles west, Dexter, then Chelsea, then Jackson. From Flint, you would take US 23 South to Ann Arbor then off the Dexter on I-94.

Is it coming back to you now?

Dee, I love your magnets! I started to make one about Santa finding us, but didn't. I figured the kids would be embarrassed.

Okay, everyone make a "Wish List" and I'll see what I can do!

I did get an answer to my question of whether we would be getting a "group" stateroom credit. I heard some very loud laughter! I tried.

Linda.....you win. I wimped out and brought home Subway!

Going to shut this puppy down for the night. I've had all the excitement I can handle for one day. That should give you some clue as to how much fun I'll be on the cruise! Maybe "Lisa" will pick up where I leave off!

GOOD THURSDAY MORNING TO ALL OF THE HOLIDAY CRUISERS!

Good night,
Stacey

P.S. The only walking you'll see me doing in the mornings is from the verandah to the coffee pot and back again.

I forgot to say: I am sorry for printing everyone's last name.....

No problem as long as social security numbers aren't included I think we are all OK!

I just appreciate that my real name was on a list and you took the time to organize things!!

We could ask Mary to include the am walk in the mini-navigator, then just show up if we want to.

My error. I was thinking of Durand which is on 69 between Flint and Lansing.

But than there is Jackson, which was home to the use-to-be-famous Jackson Dairy (aka Louds) I hear it is closed now. To bad. Matt never had a chance for a Dare to Be Great.

Even without the plans it will be nice to bump into old friends in the hall and stop and say hi. I must be careful though not to slight my parents by hanging out with you guys ALL the time!

I'm thinking you should bring your parents to the gatherings. They can hang with us old codgers.

No problem at all. Once we agree on a time (7:30) and a place. I will be happy to put it in the mini navigator.

Here's the plan for the mini-navigator. Thanks to REAS Mark and I don't have to do the Ressie shuffle. So I will have the mini navs put in envelopes that will have your DIS name and room number on it. We will do a walk of the ship and leave it on your message fish

When you get to your room check and see if it is there - don't know if we'll get them all to the rooms before you get there but we hope to have them there in the first couple of hours. That is so you will remember that the first meet is at 3pm!

On the outside will the meets we have planned:

12/18 DIS meet 3pm deck 10 dock stide mid-ship (above the goofy pool). The first offical chance to meet everyone and collect your buttons.

12/18 4:15 (or so) Sailaway - those DIS'ers wanting to hook up for Sailing can meet at the same place as the DIS meet. Then stay there or move down to deck 9 to get in the action.

12/20 4:15 Group photo shoot in the Atrium.

12/20 4:30 Sessions - wine party for the adults. Kids are working on their own gathering idea.

12/26 10:30 Brunch. One group is already reserved for the private room and a table just outside. If anyone else wants to join book this time on your own and asked to be seated near the private room.

Daily - walk with the Dis'ers. time and place TBA


Then on the inside two pages will be the directory of room numbers, who is in what room and which rooms want to play tag. The back page will be left blank to allow room for notes. The size will be 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 (an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet folded).

Any questions?

Great job Mary. Thank you so much.
