20050514..May 14, 2005...Official Check in Disney's 1st 14 Day thru Panama Canal Part 4

[NEM]

Yep...we received our dvd's today too...and I am completely shocked. I hear about all these fun things people get and we never get any of them...so I was very suprised.

We joked that we spent so much money, that we are now targeted with the "come-back-and-give-us-more-of-your-money" marketing ploy....

It may work...we had so much fun I still am "homesick" for the ship...

Hey I forgot to mention what I have learned about that little yacht we saw in Cabo. Remember the one with the helicopter and sail boat. It was named Tatoosh, The owner is Paul Allen of Microsoft. So as we use those Microsoft products we now know how he is spending his $$$$. Tatoosh is 301 ft with a crew of 30 plus. This one is the mid size one of his three super yachts. That is a 40 sailboat on the starboard side.

Thanks SO much for this, Scott! Dr. Bill suggested I google Tatoosh...since it had a "Union Jack" (per Elaine--looked like a british flag to me!! ) I thought I was way off when Tatoosh talked about the Pacific Northwest!!!

Now, things are a little clearer!!!!

 

[TDC Nala]

Dr. Bill suggested I google Tatoosh

It can mean "hello" "goodbye" or "I'm stinking rich"

 

[kellib36]

It can mean "hello" "goodbye" or "I'm stinking rich"

Yeah, "STINKING" rich!!!!!!!

I did a google on tatoosh when I got home, and found a message board where the yacht has many followers/admirers. They take pictures and post and report sightings. This Paul guy travels everywhere! Must be nice!

Bermuda Registry on the Tatoosh. Tatoosh is also the name of a mountain range to the west of Mt Rainier. Always thought it would be a good name for a Malamute.

Catherine, remember unbrulee was the night someone at our table could not decide on what they wanted and said they all looked so good that they got one of each. Let's see it was not, you, Amy, Jeff. Jen or me...... It musta been Lynn, and she has photos of each.

That's why I was thinking I was way off----Pacific Northwest, British flag.....I told Elaine it was Prince Harry.....guess THAT part was way off!!!!

I've been thinking its a great nickname for Leslie....poor ta-toosh!!!!!
Love ya, Leslie!!!!!

Can anyone confirm that the sunken mickey was still missing during our trip...DID anyone snorkel at the family beach.

 

[spros]

Hey, I want a DVD - anyone has an extra, I'll take it.

How's the scrapping going guys???? Ken and I headed to Floriday on Wednesday so we have a couple extra days. I just finished day 4, which equates to day 1 of the cruise - it's going to be a long time before I finish. Thanks Linda for all the help and ideas.

Sure do miss everyone. Finished by Tinkerbell counted cross stitch - it's very cute. Thanks Bette. I had a lot of fun.

OK - back to scrapping. Hope everyone has a great evening.

 

[Scott H]

After our return Lynn has decided to start scrapbooking and that is what she is doing right now. She is doing a good job. But she is catching up for the past couple of years of Mouse and Dive trips.

 

[videogal1]

Aggggghhhhh! WHAT Castaway Club DVD?? After 5 cruises we don't get one?? Waaaaaaaaaaa

Lynda I loved your pics..... however I tried to download a few and it didn't work. I am hopeless when it comes to trying to figure out what went wrong. All I got was white boxes with x's in them!!! Same thing when I tried to download some from others sites. Oh well.

I'm researching that as we speak...err, post.....

 

[JenKatt]

Not fair! Jeff and I never get any of the Disney stuff!

Scott you don't by chance have a picture of what I did to the unbrulee do you?

Now a 7.0 quake in N. California! Sure put our little 5.6 to shame. Hope all of you N. Calif folks are ok and had no damage. The initial reports don't indicate much damage...hope that is true. Can't remember exactly where Laurie, Michael and Quincy live...but our thoughts and prayers are with you...we know you are up there somewhere!

I knew it! I swear I told Harry that it might be Paul Allen's yacht! (I recognized Tatoosh as a NW Native American name.) Harry wanted to know who Paul Allen was....he's well known in these parts!

I got it, too. It makes great background music for the slideshow I put together from Harry's pix....

Harry has not received it, yet.

Hi Jim!

We are fine...the earthquake was out in the ocean up by Eureka. I wonder if Steve and Amy felt it?

I also did some serious googling on the Tatoosh. The pictures from onboard the ship were amazing!
