Gail, didn't realize where you were on Long Island. I used to visit Bethpage all the time for work. It is a beautiful place in the fall and spring (my favorite times of year to be there!) You did have a bad winter last year. Good to learn more about you. Lisa

Gail, I hope Isabel doesn't wonder up your way! One good thing about our December cruise, we won't have to worry about hurricanes. My city, Albuquerque, is a desert city at the foot of a mountain. It's hot and dry in the summer, and winters are pretty mild, maybe a couple of snow days. The Fall weather is the best of the year, 70's and sunny most days. That's why they have the Balloon Fiesta here. So how come I want to move to FL? It's not close enough to the Mouse! Diana

OKAY
got it mailed should be at your house on saturday???????
hope you like it and enjoy it. so when you look at the timer and see you have 456 days to this will make the time seem alot longer.
vicki still looking to meet. the show is over on saturday so they will have plenty of time to get there. she did not take my hat so she will not be easy to spot. most likly do the cell phone thing.

Thanks gaRry - can't wait to see what you send. Looking forward to meeting this weekend - wish you could join us.

For our East Coast cruising friends - prayers and pixie dust heading your way that Isabel doesn't do too much damage. Take care!

Diane: I really think Alburquerque (I know that's not spelled right!!) is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen! When I was about 13, my family took a western vacation where we drove across the southwest, came up to Denver and came home across I-70. Even that long ago, I thought your town was the place I'd love to live! Something about coming out of the very hot dessert into the cool breezes in the mountains just seemed right!

I hope everyone enjoys the Chicago meet. Looking forward to hearing how it went! Have a great weekend everyone!

Is anyone going to be on cruise chat this evening? Our computer is finally hooked up, so I'm going to try to make it.

 

[WDWLVR]

Lisa - DH (MarkRG) usually does cruise chat every Friday. I try to bop in once in a while. I may try to drop in tonight as well. Its been a few weeks.

 

[MarkRG]

Yes, friday night is CRUISE CHAT!!!!!!

Some small instructions: If you're using Internet Expolorer, you should download the chat plugin. It works better than the other methods of joining chat.

To do this, you just need to click on the link below. When you do so, a box will pop up asking what you want to do with it. Make sure the 'save this program to disk' button is picked and click ok.

Then another box wil pop up. Make sure the pulldown at the top of the box says 'Desktop' and click save.

Now you will need to close the browser and you'll find an icon on your desktop called 'msichat install' just double click it and ok any boxes that pop up and it'll install it for you.

You can put the msichat install in the trash once it's done installing, you don't need it any further.
Link to download:
Click to download the chat client for Internet Explorer

Now, once you have that done, you need to make a login, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to make sure you can login ok. The chat room is always there, even when there is no organized event.

To make a login, just follow this link(and remember to write down the name and password!!): Click HERE to make a new account

Once that's done, you can now login! Put in your username and password, then click the pulldown and pick use ichat plugin if you installed or, if you did not or can't install it, try each one in descending order from the list until you have one that you can connect properly with and you're done!

Click HERE to join chat!!!!

Mark, thanks for the explanation. I always wondered about that. I might try it tonight.

Wow, Lisa, you make me want to live in Albuquerque! Oh wait, I do. Well, you must have come through in the Fall, because that's about the only time we have cool breezes. Last summer we had days and days of 110 degree weather, and spring breezes are more like gale force winds. It is real pretty when you drive in, because you're driving into a valley from any direction. Just don't do that during rush hour.

Chicagoans, have a great meet. Wish we all could join you, but we'll meet you on the ship. Diana

Mary - I love the map. Where did you find it? I'd love to have one for my scrapbook and refridge door (incentive to stick to weight watchers!)

Teresa

 

[WDWLVR]

Teresa,

Found the picture in the latest issue of Port Canaveral magazine. It also had San Juan on it with a red star (since the article was about all the new ports) but Mark took it out.

All you have to do to grab the photo is right click on it and do save picture as.

I'm going to put a copy up on the web page too, but not until tonight or later.

 

[wdwgoose]

that is nice scotth got a very nice map from last cruise. the plot map of the cruise, not sure but final cost about 2k
well I see you 2 early birds are up early. getting ready for the meet ?????
need more coffee. at work to day


gaRry

 

[Kabuli1]

gaRry, I'm always up early! I loved the video - DH had to practice (church organist - hard choir piece!) last night so he didn't get to watch it. Anyway - totally inspirational! Loved it.

Any of you out there that needs to get more excited- talk to gaRry about his video!!

Come on out and play everybody!

I hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend. It's a gloomy day in Chi-Town!
