I have relatives who relocated to FL 15 years ago (and never looked back). I think I need to arrange a visit....maybe bunk out there with them until April or so !

That's funny that you said that, because I just got off the phone with my brother in Chicago. He was just mentioning that he might just have to come down here for a visit since it's SO cold up there.

Tell Bruce to hurry up and finish that job so you can move down here to the Sunshine State!! Then, when you're "home-sick" you can visit the Florida version of Saratoga Springs!!

My weather bug says 16 degrees...... Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Gonna be chilly here for the Parade Saturday.... Not a concern for us, since Saturday is dd4's 5th birthdday party with 11 4/5 yo girls (ack, I will be sweating no matter the temp!)

But the temps for Sunday suck! LOL We are doing the DVC event at the Fairmont, and were planning on walking around downtown. I would love to see the windows at Marshall Fields before they rename it... (sigh... ) Guess we will play that part by ear, but I think Valet at the Fairmont is in our future! LOL

Ok.... I have to make 3 or 4 more phone calls for our December trip (mostly canceling things like our IllumiNations cruise... waaaaa....) And then I have to finish up the paper work for the 3 Christmas trees I am sending out for the exchange....

I was SO sad to hear that the Marshall Field's name will be no more. It just won't be the same!!

What is Marshall Fields getting renamed to??

We haven't decided what level of cabin is our first choice yet. Anyone have a good website or two that shows cabin locations easily? I have a passporter yet took out pages last year to take it with and in the move the pages are yet to be found.

Your brother is a wise man, Amy !

Welcome Sue - the more the merrier to this crazy group.


David - I see Diana and Cheryl answered your stateroom question.

Cheryl - I see that Laura answered your question about Fields. Much as I've always wanted to have a Macy's in town I didn't want it at the expense of Fields. Oh well I never shopped there much any way.

Hi Sue

Pet: Snowball, an 11 year old spoiled American Eskimo

We have an 8 year old American Eskimo. He's the best dog most of the time. When we got him from a shelter, I wanted to name him Snowball. DS4 at the time vetoed that idea. DH wanted to name him Max. DS4 vetoed that name too.

So, his name is Tony. I have no idea where it came from but now it fits. Although, I think his name was "Buddy" in a previous home as I use the term occassionally with my kids/daycare kids and he always comes running.

 

[alikat99]

Welcome to the group, Sue! We'll have our fingers crossed until we get through on 12/3. The suspense is killing me.

I think that we're decided we'd like to be on Deck 5 again, if possible. We thought it was a GREAT location for the kids clubs, etc.

I didn't realize it was Macy's that bought Fields. Macy's bought out Burdine's down here too. It just won't be the same!

Wow, what a crazy week here. Emily has been sick since Sunday night, when she woke up with a fever. She stayed home from preschool on Monday, but she seemed much better on Tuesday. I sent her to school, and she had ballet after school. When I got her home that afternoon though, she was running a fever again, and the coughing and runny nose started. Well, she's been home since and she's still got a pretty nasty cough. And of course, now Madison has it too. It's going to be a GREAT weekend here, and we're still trying to remodel our master bath.
