So what do you all think about the new boards - aren't they quick. I love them!

 

[WDWLVR]

Karyn and her family are in Key West today with the rest of the 1/31 cruisers. Here is a link Key West

Looks a little overcast today but I hope they have a great time!

Happy Sunday everyone.

Mary, I am glad you got the picture and I will forward one of the children. I have to pick up recent pictures from the photo store of all of us this past holiday in the Caymans but for now I will forward one of Emily and Ethan with all the information requested.

I also had to log back in. I had trouble getting in last night for a while. I am so glad I can now get in without a problem and the e mail notification started again this morning. Thanks Jill for letting me know it was not only me. I was a little worried it was a computer problem.

Sunny in NY today. 35 and finally a warmer day. We are off shortly to a stuff a pet birthday party. It should be a lot of fun for the children and me too. DH is off to a poker tournment with 25 guys and then a superbowl party with the same guys. It is a man's day.
He will be with a lot of guys he grew up with. I am sure it will be alot of fun for them.

Diana, I have been getting e mails and pictures of all the people on the CC board for the 2/13 Celebrity sailing. They are all so nice. I have to thank you 100 times for directing me on this site.

Talk to you all soon. Have a great day everyone. Fondly Gail1771

I wasn't able to log in until early this morning. Since I usually just use a link I had to remember what my password was. I would have hated to start over.

Hi everyone

Tried to post earlier and I kept getting a message that there was a problem on the resort board and that caused all of them to be down for a bit while they were fixing the problem. Must be better as it let me on.

Mary I will make sure GaRry gets some pictures done today or I will send an old one of us from a previous cruise.

He is playing with his babies (horses) right now, I prefer to stay inside where it is a bit warmer.

Wish we could all be on the Magic right now with Karyn, and Randy. Hope they are having a great time in Key West. Hope they skies clear up and they have smooth sunny sailing throughout their trip.

Vicki

WOW 120 PAGES!!!!!!!!!

Our family is growing. I will need to close Palo's for our brunch with us all. How cool would that be!!!!!!


Hi Mary, I e mailed you a picture of DD and DS with all the
information that you needed. Let me know If you get it. At this point in time if you could post the picture of us and the children that would be great. As soon as I get my pictures back from the holidays I will send you a more recent picture if they come out ok.

I also have been having problems getting on the DIS today. Hopefully whatever the problem was it is resolved.

Happy Super Bowl everyone.

Talk to you all soon. Fondly, Gail

Hi all...

Well, no reports of snow from here. We finally are getting a breather from the RAIN...it seems as if it has been raining forever

Gail 1771--I belong to Katja, Annika and David--so now you have a DIS name to attach to our group
I am going to set my DD up to email yours, as soon as I can carve out some time! It will be great if they can get to know each other ahead of the cruise.

Now I am off to check the newlsetter/pictures and see if I can find any pictures of my crew...

 

[lneeley]

Wow, that's great with the number of cruisers we have. Maybe we should arrange to have a group photo taken by one of the Disney photographers in the atrium on the ship during our cruise!

Well, today was 331 days out from our return trip from Orlando to Salt Lake City, so at 12:01 a.m. this morning I was on the phone to try and get tickets on our frequent flier mileage for the return trip. since I had scanned the Delta website I had all my options ready and I was able to find 10 seats on the return. So out of 13 of us I am flying 10 on FF mileage, buying mine and DH and one grandchild is infant in arms. Wow, it took some working, but my hard work paid off. I saved $3,539 in airfare for those 10 seats. FF mileage is wonderful when you can get it. I was a little worried about Dec. 28 with the holiday and all, but they guy finally found me a flight that all 10 could get on. Anyway, we are taking over the first couple of rows in coach on each flight. We are flying through Atlanta on Dec. 17 and will go Atlanta to Orlando on #909 getting in at 3:57 p.m. If anyone gets on that flight for Fri. the 17th, they will run into us!

Anyway, I am heading home to the superbowl and then have to go pick up 2 of the grown up kids at the airport. They got back to port this morning on the 7 day cruise with RCL. Their only other cruise was with us when we took them on DCL for 3 nights, so we will see how they did on the 7 day as they work their way up to the 10 day in Dec!

Talked to a guy in Tampa today when making my Delta reservations. He said the weather was nice and clear today, but real cold last night. (Well, compared to us all, he is warm. We are up to 20 degrees right now).

Okay talk to you all soon! Linda

 

[WVMD]

Help - I lost an "M".......

GaRry you left off my "M" ---- I don't want to be WVD......

Please - can I have my "M" back....

I promise I won't snipe 10,000......

 

[2belles'mom]

Hi Mary,

I sent you a picture, let me know if you got it. My computer seems to have an aversion to emailing pictures and sure enough, it sent me a failure message and closed the program on me the first try! So I sent it again--an you may get TWO of the emails (that happens too... ).


Wow, I am looking out the window and I see...a big, bright, yellow globe in the sky. Could it be...is it possibly...the SUN????!!!!

Oh yeah, last night was quite cold!! Of course, I wasn't in tampa- i was somewhere between Canaveral and Key West... But we had a nasty storm! It was pouring, there was lightning, and the harsh winds were rocking the boat all over the place! But it was beautiful today! It was cloudy this morning, yes, but it cleared up and was sunny for the rest of the day lower to mid 70's! Well, i gotta run- the famous sunset is supposed to happen soon! Bye guys!! Take care!!

Gail - got your e-mails. The kids picture is adorable. Will try and get everything up tonight.

Still working on the newsletter as I'm waitng for some photo's gaRry mailed to me. Will be up in the next couple of days.

 

[justmestace]

I just checked out our pictures...that is so great, Mary! DD's name is spelled Jorda n, but it's no big deal. (Well, she might think it is)
I just think it's pretty nice what everyone is doing to help make this a truly memorable cruise & holiday. Thanks to all of you for your hard work!!

 

[WDWLVR]

Stacey - sorry about that. I'll fix it when I'm uploading the other pictures. That's why I want people to check!

 

[Dancind]

Mary, where do I find pictures? Looked on your web site, but I'm confused. I will send one too.

Welcome, Leslie! More pin traders here. We'll have a party going there too!

There was a recent thread about booking category 1, and a "land&sea guy" (I think) posted that he had it booked for our cruise. Justmestace was trying to convince him to join our thread. Guess he hasn't shown up yet, maybe he's afraid. Yes, she mentioned the wine party.

The dinner seating list I posted is for second seaters that want to try to sit in the same area. So, if you want a little extra insanity with your dinner, PM me with your info.

I started a spreadsheet for our Celebrity cruise (much smaller group), and I'd be willing to do it again. Is anyone doing this yet? I can only do it in Excel though.

My DH is the scuba diver. I think he's already got some dives in the works, but there's always room for more people.

Diana

 

[justmestace]

Yep...I found him a long time ago, and so did JillJill. I think we scared him off with the wine party. Sorry guys!

 

[justmestace]

Diana...how far back were you reading, anyway?? That was a pretty long time ago. I remember he had mentioned something about contacting inventory control. Wouldn't mind getting my hands on their e-mail address! (Can you tell I'm still hoping for an upgrade?)

 

[justmestace]

I was hoping to hang out long enough to see us hit 1800, but my Super Bowl company is here.
