Karen - we'll be with you on two of your cruises. We can really only afford one per year so we have the DVC one booked in 2005 and the May 27th one booked for 2006.

YIPPIE!!! We'll be glad to be sailing with the three of you again! You must have made some impression on the quiet one in the family (ohiomickey) b/c he was showing his mom the group picture and he pointed out the two of you and said we'd all be sailing together for the DVC cruise and he added "they are really nice people." MIL and her dh and probably Mike's db will also be sailing with us on that cruise. I've got her started on the DIS thread!!

COOL, a TOP shared with Mary!!!!

[WDWLVR]

Karen -that's really nice to hear. We really enjoyed meeting you guys and having you sit so near us at dinner. I had a great time playing Left, Right, Center with you as well.

 

[WDWLVR]

Happy New Year! at least on the East Coast!

 

[MrsMork]

Mary, we have a really good photo of you and Mark at Christmas dinner. Will ask DH Dennis to email it to you.

 

[WDWLVR]

Thanks Angie - that would be great!


Speaking of photos. Who is up for a CD exchange of photos? We talked about this a few times on board. We're up for it. If anyone would like to exchange CD's just let Mark or I know.

 

[MrsMork]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
Just spent New Years Eve at Epcot... the fireworks were AWESOME! Tons of people but it was fun just the same....
Have to share this...
I was in line (buying PINS of course) and some strange woman who I have never seen before... says to me... "You were on the Disney cruise last week... with your husband... You won Match Your Mate!!!!" She said it loud enough for a couple other people to turn around... and I could feel myself turning 10 shades of red so I say.... "Yes, that was me.... but What Happens on the Magic .. STAYS on the Magic!!!!!" Luckily I was next up at the register and I got the heck out of there while she was still laughing.....
FREAKED ME RIGHT OUT!!!! Thank goodness I hadn't had the margaritas yet or who knows what might have happened!! Goodnight and Happy New Year... Don't forget to watch Mickey as Grand Marshall of the Rose Parade tomorrow/today!!!
Once again... thanks to all the DIS'ers for making our Holiday cruise and Holidays the best ever!!!

told son all A's and keep them there I'll book the cruise he wants.

SO WE'LL SEEE


gaRry

Now that is an incentive and I hope it works.

We have one with Matthew, graduate the IB program at high school and we get the Great Barrier Reef for two weeks.

I hope that one works because that is a trip I really want.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO THE CRAZY CHRISTMAS CRUISERS!

We just got in. Came very close to spending another night in Orlando, Southwest was offering incentives to bump to a flight tomorrow. They couldn't find any hotel rooms! We would have rented a car and gone back to Epcot for New Years. Turned out they didn't need us, though.

Jim, Alicia and Kevin really enjoyed the dive, and Alicia was thrilled to see the calf. They both liked Red, and hope to dive with you all in May.

Alicia is off to a New Year's sleepover at her friend's house, so we have the whole house to ourselves and the cat, who hasn't stopped yelling since we got home. Probably won't unpack a darn thing tonight except my toothbrush unless Kevin guilts me into it.

Sorry to hear that everyone is sick! I got the crud after sitting in the freezing theatre on the ship for Incredibles, but I'm the only one that got sick.

Will check back later, hope everyone comes back to check in eventually!

To bad the bump on Southwest did not work. You could have always called us and we would have picked you up. Maybe got another dive out of it.

Glad they enjoyed diving with Red. He is just a nice guy that is fun to dive with and does well with kids. Matt was just a kid when we started diving with Red.

Since Alicia is going to a sleep over tonight, Matt was wondering if you need some extra rubber bands. Some jokes will never die.

 

[scuba diver]

He's not as silent as he may seem. Ya gotta love that moniker though!

The diving at Blue Springs was awesome! Alicia didn't really like going down into the dark spring head without light and we stopped at 40'. I'd like to explore that a bit further another time.

The manatees were awesome, like Diana mentioned, we saw a mother with her calf (plus many others) and got some great pictures. Still need to rename all the pictures and clean them up from the cruise, but that will take a few more days.

We were having our "green chili" fix tonight and were talking about how great this cruise was. I'm thinking a lot of that had to do with all the great folks we met before and during the cruise!

I'm glad to finally hear your diving report. Matt said "It was fine and we got to see manatees." That was it.

I hope Red told you the story about the last time he and I went diving there. We took his cave lights and went to the bottom to explore the spring flow. It was really blowing and he got caught in the flow. Shot him up 40 feet and almost pinned him against the ceiling. I have never seen his eyes so big! That was one of those priceless moments that I did not catch on my camera.

 

[scuba diver]

Well, guys. I'm sitting here sipping wine (nasty stuff---not the good stuff from DCL) and waiting for the new year to come so I can go to bed. The kids won't let us go to bed early

I'm impressed you tried to stay up. Sharon and I went to bed at 10 PM and told the kids to turn out the lights when they went tobed. Seemed like another night on the cruise. Two scubas asleep at 10 pm and two still out until ....was that 4:30 am Matthew?

We have never been big New Years Eve people. I would guess there are still people up partying right now when I am getting up for the day.

BTW, I did sleep in one morning on the cruise until 6:30! What a record.

We were looking at the Navigator (called the cruise compass) for our RC cruise in November. The shows start at 10:30, parade at midnight, comedy at 12:30 AM. Guess I will have to take a nap because everything is much later on RC. Hope they have a good rain forest!

Kevin, Virgil dropped off a small gift the last night of the cruise from the two of you.....I laughed VERY hard!! My copy of "Remodeling Bathrooms for Dummies" is SURE to get lots of use. I'm not sure DCL will appreciate this, but I started with the bathroom in cabin 6060!!!

Also, was it you, Kevin, who did the picture at the end of the ornament exchange. I apologize, but I was laughing so hard I didn't put two and two together. I *think* that was you who presented it!!! TOOOO funny. I notice it is "suitable for framing!"

Sometimes it's just the small gifts that just keep giving....

Those were two funny gifts. Someone was very clever.

Thanks Angie - that would be great!

We are in.

Pictures is today's project.

 

[scuba diver]

Once again I am talking to myself in the morning.

And I got a top for it.

What a way to start 2005! :jumping4: :jumping4:

 

[MarkRG]

Almost to yourself.


HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We'd be interested. Not sure how many generic pictures Mike took. Many may have family, but hey, you can all crop us out!!
