2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 5

Mary,
Congrats on the 20000, that is truly amazing!

Scrapbookers,
Here is my finished can, unless I decide to varnish it somehow and change the straws when I find red ones. I guess it's not too bad for a first try, it
is what I envisioned except I didn't have a tool to make the yellow and black ovals so I just did them freehand and they are a little jagged around the edges but I'm ok with it. Thanks for the inspiration!

Ilene--that came so awesome!! You have some serious creative talent!

The Piano Playing, Charmin Dispensing Butler

That's at least the second reference to this Charmin man. It seems like there's a story here, just waiting to be told.

Ooohhh, Gail is pretty close to a milestone post too!!!

Yep, 10% of Mary's.

I haven't caught up enough to see if Mary made her milestone.

 

[Diana Lyn]

We've never been either. There is one at Easton that we need to try.

I said it before, and I'll say it again.....I love Easton! We don't have a Melting Pot here so I guess it will be on our list of places to escape the in-laws for next year!

Ilene you did a great job. The can looks awesome!

I give up. I won't be able to read back all that I've missed. "Uncle."

Got 2 more work sleeps then we are on our way! Vaca sleeps for 2 weeks!

Looks like another fellow cruiser is on the horizon of traveling down to Florida.

I didn't realize that you were also heading down so early.

I think Robin & David are following right along.

Mary is off today.

Safe travels everyone

It definately makes it more real for the rest of us.

I think this says it all. Thank you friends!

I see you made it.

20,000 posts!! That's a lot of posting, Mary.

Congratulations!!

OK - Don't you guys have anything better to do but stare at a computer all day??? I'm over 100 pages behind! I was trying to catch up but gave up.

We enjoyed our trip to Latham, NY. We went to Howe Caverns on Saturday and Liberty Farm's corn maze on Sunday. On the way home from the maze I saw a sign that said Clifton Park 5 miles, Schenectady 16 miles and thought of Stacey and Diana. Kind of weird because I have never even actually met you yet, but thought of you while on vacation, kinda weird.

Then.........
DH started having pains on his tailbone area Sunday evening. He was in terrible pain all night so we left as early as possible on Monday and made it home in time to get to our Dr. He has something called a pilonidal cyst that has a really bad infection. After wondering all last night if we would even be able to go on vacation, the general surgeon gave us the go ahead after he tortured my husband cutting it open and cleaning it out. He is a hurting puppy right now. He is on 2 antibiotics and pain meds. The one antibiotic makes him sick to his stomach so he is going to call his doc tomorrow to see if it can be changed. We go for a recheck next Tuesday and leave for vacation on Thursday.
My nephew is doing well after being stitched up. Thanks for the pixie dust.

Sorry for all the milestones I missed commenting on but some of us have to work to pay for our vacations. And just to add to the challange, the auditors are at my work for the next two weeks and I have to get the October bills together before next Wednesday so I can't try to catch up while I'm at work.

I'll check in when I can. Thanks in advance for any pixie dust and prayers coming our way.

Chris

PS Our docs arrived over the weekend, my Mom called to let us know they were here and safe from the rain - woo hoo

for your DH!

I'm glad to hear you had a fun trip. Stacy was here on Sunday and we were talking about which corn maze you were going to and we came up with Liberty!

 

[chipscinderelly]

Safe travels to everyone heading off on vacation this week! We will miss you next week as we rush to pack and cram all our stuff in for the cruise... but we will see you at the PORT!

 

[Diana Lyn]

I see you made it.

20,000 posts!! That's a lot of posting, Mary.

Congratulations!!

Congrats Mary!!

What a perfect post for 2000!

CONGRATULATIONS ON 2000 POSTS

Gail!!

Glad to have been a part of them

Mind if I borrow this and edit it just a little?

Congratulations just the same. I see you hit the #2000 mark this morning!! Way to go!!

 

[Diana Lyn]

Congrats Gail on 2000!!

Date night? You mean like going out with just Mike?

How kid friendly is it??

I was thinking the same thing. The last time Gary & I had a date night was -- oh, about 12 years ago.

 

[Diana Lyn]

I'm doing the single digit dance today!! 9 more days!!

9 days? Ut-oh I need to get to the gym!!!

Thanks Amy, I'm gonna check out Target for the water cameras on my way home from the gym (not that it's anywhere near close to the gym!) then I'm going to hit Party City to look for some Pirate stuff for the girls!

Last week my Target had the Princess TVs on clearance for $49. I was struggling with getting one, but I'm not ready for the girls to have their own TV in their room. But it would be WAY more convenient since now they lay in my bed and watch My Little Pony.

HI! Haven't posted any this time around. Hubby and I took advantage of getting the extra points last cruise and are cashing in for our Paris trip right before we get onboard for the member cruise! I can never remember from time to time what to put on those blasted immigration forms. What's our official date of arrival, do we have to put a travel agency on there, how many nights do we have to say we're there - since we're only on a Bahamian property during the day and is the boat considered a hotel? Thanks!

Ok, let me just say that I'm not sure that I'm right, but here's what I do.

Travel Agent - I just put Disney
For Date of Arrival - I put 10/23 since that's the first day that we're there
For # of nights - I put 0, since we're not staying in the Bahamas overnight

Like I said, I'm not sure that I'm right, but that's what I've always done for all 3 cruises.

 

[alikat99]

I think your right, feels more like a platter right now. When am I going to pack??? I need a checklist, anyone have a generic premade packing list?

Chris

Me too, I need a checklist that I can start from. I can't seem to find the one that I made last year.

 

[cgcw]

Yep - I sent it to a few that didn't have it in their signature yet.

As did I, the few who didn't have it yet.

I even had to venture off our thread.

 

[alikat99]

Last year I was told we had order forms with our documents to purchase DVC merchandise, THis year we did not get anything. DId I miss something? Frank

\
I'm sure that this has already been answer by someone else, but no you didn't miss anything. They have mentioned exclusive merchandise, but it will be available onboard.
