Not sure if I can get 200 copies of the newspaper..lol. BUT, my brother works for a printing company so if there is anything good, I can have him make full page copies.

Have him export out a copy off the internet into his files and then we can set up a link after we get back and make our own copies at home! Hate for him to think he has to take care of our addiction!

Well, at least you were getting rain at the airport. If you would have swung by my house on the mountain it was snowing this morning. I don't think it has ever snowed at my house on my birthday!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

[bonzie1]

WOW 10 pages guys!!! You sure busy trying to get to that 13,000th post... way to go KAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAULATER!!! ​

Well as it turns out, I was called into the BIG meeting late yesterday afternoon, with much misrepresentation by my user. I will spare the details, only to say it was AWFUL. My management actually told us just to let it go... Bottom line, There will be a new user PM for a short duration, (the current user PM will still be there but won't control the decisions) and as a result of that decision, I will no longer be doing the project management for our group. It was made known to me that I did a great job with the project, but because they needed to give the user responsibilities to someone else, it was only fair that my repsonsibilities also be changed...

I am so very tired right now... and reeling from all that's happened for the past week... still taking the airboure... hoping to pack tonight.

SAFE TRAVELS TO ALL + THANKS FOR THE WELL WISHES FROM OTHER DIS'ers

Georgie,

Glad to hear it's over. Now you can focus on packing and heading out. When are flying out? We leave Friday at 8pm out of Philly as I have to work and don't want the kids to miss yet another day of school. DW feels nervous enough about them missing two weeks.

Im going on A Cruise!!

 

[WeLuvDCL]

Check out this link - http://www.kroooz-cams.com/custom-viewer.htm (not sure if it has been posted before as I am a latecomer).

You can see 3 different Panam Canal locks webcams, Port Canaveral and Cabo webcams.

If you know anyone that has nothing better to do during the day, please have them go to this website and save pictures of us cruising through the locks and post them on the board.

 

[mvlmeco]

Hmmmm... don't get your hopes up... didn't you hear about our plans for a takeover?? We're planning on heading for Hawaii right after Cabo... then maybe on to Australia.........

Whoopee! I can pick up a painting a lady did of my dearly departed Meco. She's an Aussi and very good.

I miss that old dog. 16 and a half years is a long life for a almost any dog, but I will never find such a companion again.

Hi!

Thanks for the thoughts. I need to come off of this week gradually... too much happened. I hope they can find all of my stuff while I'm gone!!!

We're not leaving 'til 7:55 on Sat AM. Right now, I'd like to get an earlier flight out, but then we'd have to get a room etc... Where will you be staying... at the port? I've been known to be spontaneous, so don't be surprised to see us at the beginning of the line if we change our plans!

Have a safe flight!!!
Georgie

Can't wait to see you! I felt this way when we left for the 10 day Christmas Cruise and I remember being on the ship and not feeling at all guilty for NEVER checking my email. It made me feel so much better!


Thanks for the BD wishes!
