I have just been reading the March newsletter. This is so good - great photos of Castaway Cay - I just can't wait to see it for myself.
We actually had snow yesterday - only a few inches but we are not really used to it in the UK and even a little bit seems to cause chaos. Still it has all melted now so back to normal.
I am amazed by how many post we are getting on this thread - I try to keep up and read them all. I do feel I am getting to know people's names slowly - by the time of the cruise hopefully I will know everyone.

GaRry-no problem on the video, we will just sit around and eat those "imported potatoe chips" while we wait.

DD was so excited to see the ship go by on twopalms and was wishing she was on that ship, saying those people are so lucky.

Another foot of snow. I think that storm is hitting Minnesota today. It was a big one. We have Matt to blame for that! And Matt, here's the pixie dust.........pixie dust........It would be a bummer to go to MS, much better to GA if you can get that way. At least you could go to WDW much more often.

Suppose to get to 37 today. Ooohhhh, a warm spell! At least we are getting our lakes filled back up!

I see that jilljill keeps grabbing the top of the page! You go girl. Can't wait till we get to 3000! We need to set a target! When do you guys think we can hit it? (See, if we all respond then we will push the numbers up)

Okay, I better put in some work!

OK, spoke to DCL. All we need are the last names of the parties that want to sit together, and they will link the resies. It doesn't matter if TAs are different.

SOOOOOOOOO...Stacey and Virgil (was there another East Coater who wanted to sit with us?) send me your last names and party size (PM or email, your choice). Anyone else who wants to sit together, for 2nd sitting, send me the same info, make sure I know who wants to sit with whom.

Are we all good?

Gale, the hotel is SUPERB! They've renovated a couple of years ago. They staff is unbelievably friendly. We love going there. They go out of their way to make you feel comfertable. They'll even walk the dog! (I'm series. It's a big thing for us).

The hotel enterance is off Robson but it has a Robson address. For shopping and good eating and nightlife Robson is THE PLACE to be in Vancouver.

I believe the Crepe place is Crepe Breton. It's directly across from the hotel enterance.

When are you going? Maybe we can plan to meet? Vancouver is only a 2.5 hr drive for us from WA (unless the border crossing is congested. Then it can turn into a 4-5 hour trip. But I digress).

Hope this helps?

 

[dee47]

No top of the page for me, I guess.

Sigh.

 

[lneeley]

Dee, sounds like fun. Too bad I'm too far south or I could meet up with you guys (any excuse to get out of town)!

Boy, the boards are quiet today!

Linda

 

[justmestace]

I'm here, but not for long.


Dee, I sent you a pm.


Let's get those numbers up there for Mary so that she doesn't have to stay up all night and keep her eye on me & jilljill.










Stacey

 

[justmestace]

Hello to Angela!!! It's so cool to "talk" to someone clear across the ocean. I'm still impressed with this internet stuff...and easily amused.


Lisa, thanks for the heads up on "The Movie". Been waiting for a chance to see it, and debating about the kids. They are pretty mature and reasonable for 10 & 13....but I think we'll have them wait.


Going to head off for a while.

Be back tonight for our usual big push.


Stacey

 

[lneeley]

Stacey-figured with all that space you should have been at the top of the next page. Well, if it's not you I am sure jilljill will jump on it!

You two seem to manage that task very well!

We need more posters, to get that number up for Mary!

Linda

where are you? Eating potatoe chips?

 

[justmestace]

YIPPEE! ANOTHER T.O.P.!!!!!

 

[jilljill]

Hi, just checking in quickly. Either the boards are really slow or it's my computer and connection.
I'm getting everyone together for our trips to Philly the next 2 days - tomorrow to Roy Disney's meeting and then Wed. is the stockholder's meeting.
Be back later

gaRry

 

[lneeley]

jilljill-not you, the boards are really slow right now. My work connection is fast, but not right now.

Stacey-thanks for the heads up on the movie. We think we are going to wait to let DD (11) go also. Don't think she is ready for it.

Hopefully, the boards will get faster as the day goes on and everyone starts posting once they are home from work.



Linda

 

[athurstance]

Hi everyone.

Dee, Thanks for the info on the hotel and restaurant. We were going to try priceline but I do not want to chance where we stay especially if DD joins us. We arrive in Vancouver at 2:00am on Thrusday morning 8/26. Our flight leaves NY at 11:00pm on Cathay Pacific. Great price $283.00pp round trip direct form JFK. The flight back home leaves Vancouver at 1pm so that workded for us. We will be staying at the Fairmont Airport hotel when we arrive in to catch a few hours of sleep. The hotel is attached to the airport so that will be easy for us. We will be in Vancouver until Sunday early afternoon when the boat leaves. I would love to meet you all if you are up for the ride. We have no plans made as of yet for Friday or Saturday. Let me know if that works for you. What fun that would be. Anyone else in the area is welcome to join us as well.

Karyn, I have been thinking of you. I miss you. I am sure you are buzy with the move and all. Hope to hear from you soon and hear all about it.

Mary, great picture of Castaway Cay. I was dreaming about it today eventhough the weather was beautiful in NY, Almost 60!! I had DS at the park today. It was so nice to be outside.

Talk to you all later. Fondly, Gail1771
