Welcome Mic & Lyn the more - the merrier!!

Hey Mary, Mark, Karen, Randy and Jill We had a great time at lunch last Sunday. It was really great to meet everyone. The pictures were very nice. I am still trying to make up for lost sleep from the show. Vanessa had a great time also, but was more excited about her adventure on Monday - sorry everyone meeting the President is a bit more exciting. She got some really great pictures but I cannot figure out how to get them here. (I haven't really had time to get them off the camera)

Hope everyone near the storms/Isabelle are staying safe.

Take Care and God Bless

Vicki

It was great meeting all of you too! I'm glad you guys had fun singing for the president! That's such an awesome opportunity! Anyways, I'm sure we're going to have just sooo much fun on our cruise! Only 456 days!! Can't Wait!!

 

[WDWLVR]

Vicki it was great meeting you and Vanessa too! I can't blame her for being more excited to sing for the President than to meet us Would love to see the pictures! That is a great honor.

Sounds like Isabel has slowed down - hope everyone is safe!

An evening bump as we were back on page 2.

Just came back from a beautiful walk along the lake front. Tonight was the Light The Night Walk to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma society here in Chicago. It was a wonderful experience I got to share with a number of people I work with.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!

The Magic sailed today with the last group before dry dock.

Another week off our countdown as well

Wow, what a quiet weekend for our thread! I'm bumping this up again from the bottom of the 2nd page.

DebsHill, - I'm not thinking so much about our trip in Nov yet. it's just a quick weekend, and we're not for sure about it yet! Got a wedding in Seattle in two weeks that I need to start thinking about.

A beautiful, but quiet weekend here. Miss Jill filled out her first college application on Saturday, and we had a block party that evening as well.

Jill would really like to talk to other teens who will be on the Christmas cruise - if any of you could pm me with their email addresses or screen names!

Just booked ours yesterday yes, what a better way to spend your Sunday but to plan a vacation... The agent on the phone told me that we are about 75% full so it is going fast...

 

[Kabuli1]

Have you read this entire thread yet? We've got lots going on! Tell us a little about yourselves! I noticed you have a cruise to look forward to between now and or great Christmas adventure!

I'm sure others will chime in also and add their greetings!

Born 2 Cruz - welcome to the DIS and welcome to the 2004 Christmas Cruise thread.

We do have a very active group, but always love to see new people. My website (link below) has a special area just for the 2004 Christmas Cruise as well as monthly newsletters. The newsletters are password protected but I will send you the password if you e-mail me at marygums@covad.net. When you e-mail me it is appreciated if you would give me the names of all those in your party, brithdays, kids ages, stateroom number, early/late seating, anniversary date, and anything else special (like is this your first cruise or your 10th). Not trying to be too nosy just trying to find out information we can all share (which is why they are password protected). Any questions just e-mail or pm me.

Hope you will post here often!

Born 2 Cruz -
Welcome aboard. Can't believe the ship is 75% booked and it is still more than 1 year away.
I'm very jealous that you have a cruise booked before the 'big one'.
I have spent the past couple of days booking a trip to Dublin for my family. Vacation planning on a weekend is great fun. Now to add a counter for that trip.

 

[gail1771]

Welcome Born 2 Cruz. I received your e mail in regards to the Palo Brunch. I just e mailed you back. My e mail address has changed to gail17@optonline.net. Our family is also from Long Island. We live in Syosset and another Dish Cruiser for the holiday sailing lives in Plainview, NY. I can't believe the ship is 75% filled that is awesome. This is a great group of people on this thread and going on this cruise. If you get a chance you should read through the threads. We all have alot planned for this cruise. wdwgoose(GarRy) is taking care of the discount at the Radission the night before we sail if you are flying in the night before. wdwgoose also has a list of all of us going on this crusie if you want to e amil him. Mary has a great news letter. wdwgoose is looking into t shirts for us all. I am taking care of the brunch. I am sure I must of left other stuff out.
Do you have children coming on this crusie and if so how old are they?? There are alot of different age groups of children going on this cruise. I know someone is setting up an e mail list for the older children. We look forward to you joining in with us. Gail1771

 

[Born 2 Cruz]

ME and DW and DD 7 Cant wait also have one planned for feb 04.

I think shirts would be a great idea.

 

[gail1771]

Hello Born 2 Cruz. We have a dd who is 6.5 and my ds is 2 years old. It would be great for our DD's to hook up. If you can e mail me your info for the brunch I will put it in my folder for this cruise. Just e mail me your first and last names and cabin number.


Hi everyone. Hope all is well for you all. I was also on line this weekend booking a small get away without the children. We got great deal on a cruise going out of NY on RCCL new ship Senerade of the Seas for 4 nights to Canada. Our TA got us a great deal for a Guarantee inside cabin. It was to good to pass up. Total trip for two was $566.00. It should be so nice to go out of NY. My parents and sister in law will be doing the babysitting. We are sailing on 10/23/03. This boat has a glass dome over the pool. Anyway I hope you all have a great week. Fondly-Gail1771

Hello Christmas cruisers!
Been away for a bit due to knee surgery #3 for the summer...But its great to see everyone keeping the thread alive!

Just wanted to check in and help keep us bumped up to page 1!



Hey - just how many "Jills" do we have on this cruise??

Jill

 

[tkd lisa]

Just checking in after the hurricane. We have been without power since Thursday, and it's likely going to be down until the end of this week. They can't get to our power line feeders, since they are in thick woods (great idea, huh!).

I made it back into work today and am just happy to have electricity and running water!

We had minimal damage to the house, but lost 4 trees, some shingles and siding. It could have been lots worse!

I'll catch up later.

 

[wdwgoose]

lisa
sounds like its not fun??????? we know how you feel. 3 days of the black out for here. been looking into a house generator system my luck is the natural gas would go out and then it would not work either. GLAD to hear it was not really bad
just bad enough. now you have fire wood for the winter (after you get the fire place)

cruisers from the meet ????????? I sent my t shirt along for some help in the new design????? she would NOT take my hat!!!!!biggest thing is the ship out line did you like that????????? that took the longest to do. We were very happy with it.
know about the shirt that you can find in a power outage, stand out in a crowd, be seen at a far far distance, and have lots of people ask you (are you okay?????) TIME WARP
OKAY really lets start working on the t shirts?????????????
SUGGESTIONS ??????????? yes SHIP I hope ????
do we list the islands ??? do we say 10 day cruise???
CHRISTMAS 2004 ????? lets get started dw says I cann't start packing yet (party pooper)
NOW WELCOME NEW ONES
your name was added to the list I will repost it on nexted page.
send more info please??????
another day at work we had a sick horse yesterday last night she was a lot better. 11 yr old rescue mare.we 've had her about 4 mo. okay enough for now time to fix breakfast. :~)

Hope your knee is feeling better, surgery is not fun.
I found us at the bottom of page 1 so thought I would move us to the top.
BTW, jilljill is only my DIS name - not my real name. So there is 1 less 'Jill' to worry about.

 

[Kabuli1]

So, jilljill, what is your real name?

I guess that means we just have two Jills, my DD - PrincessAuroraInBlue and two4ruff! Neither of them have "Jill" DIS names - but then there's jilljill (DIS name) who really isn't Jill! I'm just trying to get this straight!

Lisa, glad you're back with us! So do you have power at work but not at home? I didn't quite understand that. I hope the cleanup goes well.

gaRry, Vicki is really being mean if she won't let you pack yet! What's up with that??? I'm not sure about the tie-dye thing - can we get solid lime green? I like having the ship on it - it would be cool if we could put the map on it that Mary posted.
