Tomspixie: Glad you guys had a great cruise! I'm jealous that you guys just went while all the rest of us are still counting down the days! Now you can recharge your batteries and get ready for the relaxing cruise with just the two of you. Nice!

Here you go. This is the link to the page. It's a fotki photo site - great place for storing photo's if you need one. PM or email a photo to me and I'll get it uploaded. I just sent you my email address via a private message.

Thanks
Jeff

My DH does judo regularly. he wanted me to ask, does anyone in our group do judo and have any interset in trying to find a place/time to work out?

Ginny...I think it was you that Kristin mentioned!!!! We have been lucky enough to get to know her on two cruises and think she is a definite gem at DVC!!! Tom and I were so pleased when she said she was going to be cruising with us again!

She also mentioned that she would love to get to see one of the suites....if anyone would be willing to include her for a visit, I know she would appreciate it!!!

Looking forward to meeting everyone!!! It is getting closer!

Judo? - Is that similar to Karate? My DH and DD are into a form of Karate. At this point I forget what style. I will ask if he would like to join in a work out. Let me know if they are similar.

 

[HollyTyler]

HEATHER!!! I'm so glad you joined! It's about time, woman!! I know you're just as busy as I am, but I didn't want you to miss out on the fun. I'm glad I pestered you a bunch about joining!

 

[threebritts]

I know I know and Im glad you did! The visions of "Bahama Mamas" going through my head and bethany asking me every day, how long till I see Tyler made me realize wow its not to far away!

Hi there,
Last time we cruised, we recieved a small packet of all info and our luggage tags in a little brown folder... haven't gotten any documentation for this trip yet though. Just wondering, do they still do that or is it all paperless now that you can check in online?

Has anyone gotten their paperwork yet and I need to bug my TA?

Thanks,
Courtney

From reading other threads, I believe they still send a packet to us, but if you've done your forms online there won't be much more in it than the immigration form and your luggage tags. And I'd guess we'll all receive ours in a week. It just makes it seem more real! I'm looking forward to it because last time we got ours, our TA had thrown in a stuffed Mickey magnet (his hands and feet have magnets) for Tyler and this time she says I get a character watch for being a repeat with her agency (in addition to the onboard credit she gives me).

Hi,
Not really very similar, karate is more kicking and judo is more like wrestling.

I told him it was a long shot!

Funny because after how bad he was that weekend in Orlando, I thought she would dread seeing him on the cruise!

 

[HollyTyler]

OK everybody....serious problem here. I have a final exam in 4 hours (and another on Friday), but I can't get my mind off the cruise! Wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed for me.

 

[CaptainJack]

I had the same concern about not getting tickets and other documentation already (I have completed all of the online materials already), so I called. The tickets and other docmentation will be sent out about 14 days prior to the sail date. I was informed that, if you do not have them by then, call.

Holly, how did the final go?

Good Luck Holly! at least you get the finals done before the cruise- I hope that means you won't be lugging your books on the ship =) You're in law school, right? Those are heavy books!

Courtney

Sorry about that.... It was worth a shot...

 

[HollyTyler]

Holly, how did the final go?

I think it went pretty well, thanks for asking! As you may recall, now I have to wait forever to get the results. That's the part I hate. Oh well....one down, one to go on Friday. I can see light at the end of the tunnel!

Yup, it's law school. Yup, I'm done with the semester this week. HOWEVER, the next semester starts the week of the cruise! Since I'll be missing the first week of class (I know, not a good thing to do), I'll still be lugging those books with me on the cruise so I can stay caught up. But what better place to do schoolwork?!
