OH NO, DH says tonight: "I guess we're cancelling the cruise next Dec. because of buying the house?!?" I told him that we need to have a big discussion about that and the time was not in the car with DD around. I REALLY WANT TO GO!!! I will be so disappointed, I feel like I know a lot of you already. The final decision is still just under a year away. lots of time to work on him. gaRry, I really have to go since I started the food with the corked wine business.

Stacey, no it's not the house signing hand, or the typing hand. Thanks for your good wishes. Have a good trip - I'm jealous.

Mary, thanks for the newsletter it is very nice again.

Lynda, thanks for telling us about Cash and all his different 'outfits'. He sounds like a neat dog.

Well, I think I will uncork a bottle of blueberry wine and drown my sorrows from DH's comment tonight

We are off to WDW tomorrow so I will be away for a while! We will be at BWV for 8 nights, then on our first Disney cruise for 4 nights, at Portofino Bay for 3 nights and finally chilling at OKW for 5 nights!!! I can't wait to see the ship for the first time and will post when we return!
love

Mary, great job on the newsletter again. I also really enjoyed Cash's story. Lynda, he sounds like a great dog! Looking forward to "meeting" him.

I had forgotten someone had offered to coordinate scuba trips. DH is interested in deep sea fishing. Anyone else? We'd probably take the lead on finding one if anyone wants to do it!

 

[jilljill]

Debs, Have a wonderful trip - it's sounds like my kind of vacation. Lots of fun in the sun.

gaRry, You are too funny!! I don't think a baby grand will fit in the house, but we have an upright to go in it. Kayrn's husband can tune it and then play for us. Cookies can be done, but I would rather make lots of key lime pies. But I would rather the chefs on the ship do all this for me and their pans are much heavier, you get a good wallop with them.

Have a good day.

Hello Everyone!

We are finally back from our WDW trip and the 10/18/03 cruise. The ship is nice and spiffy clean and the two new areas Diversions and The Cove coffee bar are really nice!

Checked with Donna on board about getting the $200 on board ship credit for the cruise and she was able to get that for us. Every little bit helps!

Saw Beano and friends. I tried to talk him into joining us but he has now booked a 4-day for the 4th of July 2004 as well as his usual October cruise.

We had a champange party in Beano's cabin and from what I can remember it was great!

The crew that I talked with are pretty excited about the 10 day.

I'll post again soon!

Paul

Hi everyone.
Mary, thanks for another great month of the newsletter. I enjoyed reading it.

Today DH is framing our extension . It is going to be a beautiful day in the 60's. The weekend is going to be near 70 which is awesome for NY. Happy Halloween to all. Gail1771

Paul,

Did you take pictures of the new areas? I'd love if you would send me some and a short write-up for an upcoming newsletter. I'm sure all of those who have crusied on Disney before would love to hear a first hand description of the new areas.

Thanks!

 

[paulcrsb]

Hi Mary!

My wife was in charge of the still camera so I'm not sure what she got pictures of. If I find anything I'll let you know.

Paul

 

[WDWLVR]

Paul,

Even if you don't have pictures to share if you could do a short write-up about what you saw and what you liked or didn't like about them that would be great. I can always find pictures elsewhere to add.

Changed the name of this thread to incorporate the yyyymmdd format as suggested. If we could get everyone to do this it'd make searching for these threads easier!

Just wanted to give all a head's up.

Did anyone else get an e-mail from Dreams Unlimited last night? It had some good pictures of all three new venues. My DD is so happy she'll get to go to the Teen club on this cruise! Diana

As part of the eating audience at the Senior Center Mystery theater dinner presentation, Cash and I, dressed as Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, went off to put a scare into the old folks... BOO...Not a very scary sheep.....but we all had fun.
I was wondering if the secret deck 7 wine tasting venue was marked on the cruise brochure deck plan? (some secret, huh?). We've been assigned to a cabin on deck 7, within crawling distance of a large white area located on the very tip end of the bow, and thought how convenient if that was the "secret deck". Anyone able and willing to clue me in?

 

[WDWLVR]

Lynda, you have indeed found the secret deck! When you go all the way to the back there is a door that leads outside- that is the secret deck. It is right near our room and I know you said you aren't far from us.

Diana - we got that e-mail too. Looks really nice. I definately think we'll be speding time in the cove cafe. Looks like a nice place to get on the internet!

OM-thanks for changing the title of the thread. I agree that if everyone does that it will make it much easier!

Yayyyy!...wine party and no designated driver required!

Great idea...so handy, too

 

[jilljill]

Hope everyone had a good weekend and has a good week coming up. This may be the last time I check in for a couple of days - have my wrist surgery in the morning. Oh no , what am I going to do, not being able to use my left hand to type. Very slow at typing with 1 hand.

 

[paulcrsb]

jilljill - Don't feel bad. I type with just two fingers!

Good luck tomorrow!

Paul
