2007 Transatlantic and First Med cruises thread

Hi everyone! I am glad the page got bumped to page one so I could see it. I was wondering if the old one had been gone or not, and it made me sad too. So good to see what everyone is up to!

Today is the funeral of the President of our church. He was a great man. He will be missed.
“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal, is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just like people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.”
~ Gordon B. Hinckley

Great quote! You are right, he will be missed.

I have already had the Atlas out measuring distances to DL. I'm thinking it's a 6-8 hour drive. (???) It is the state's one redeeming factor--ok, Arizona has some beautiful canyons, colorful deserts and really hard dead trees, too, so not such a bad place. He hasn't called all day. I guess that's a good sign, right?

I'll tell you one good thing AZ has... you won't have to think about which shoes to wear when you walk out the door... or which coat. When I moved to Boston I thought I would scream with how often I couldn't wear my beloved white canvas keds.

Ahhhh. Birk sandals all year round. Hippy me would actually like that. He called. We'll know next week, but he's 1 of 5, so no predictions. If not this, I know what needs to happen will. It'll all work out. It always does.

D'Ann - Good luck to you and your husband, AZ would be quite a change!

I lived in Birk sandals when i lived in LA or went bare foot. Now in UT in the winter I have upgraded to Ugg's. Dann AZ is closer to CA and UT!! let us know.....

It's official - We're out . I cancelled our WB PC cruise this morning. Have an absolutely fabulous time for everyone that is going! I just keep telling myself that DCL is going to have to go through the PC at least one more time when they bring a ship permanently to the West Coast. D'ann you and I are going to be on that one for sure! Just think, you can DRIVE to the port from AZ ...

Ah yes, southern ca footwear:
flip flops or barefeet (mo' betta!) - March through December
Uggs - Jan & Feb

Who needs more than that?

I just realized that when we lost our original thread we lost all the great pictures that people had posted. I'm looking for wavepool pictures for my scrapbook. Does anyone have any that they could post links to or email to me?

 

[milestogo]

Hey Susie, I sent this via email as well.

 

[padalyn]

I found another thread about what happened to our old thread...the management (!) may decide to allow a look only version of the longer threads. I will keep everyone posted as I find info out...I am hoping that this will happen, so we can see all our great pics and conversations!

Nice to read everyone's posts from the past few days. Rob and I just got back yesterday from the Eastern Caribbean cruise. First cruise since the Transatlantic--of course it was amazing and perfect as always, but you can't imagine how we MISSED not having 6 straight sea days in a row. Also, there were so few decorated doors, that our magnet a day and fish extender really stood out! Spent one day before the cruise doing a 1 Day 4 Park hopping marathon, knocked out a few things in each park, and got a LOT done in a single day! It was great, even got to ride the new Spaceship Earth, walking right on with no wait!

Nicholas, I completely understand what you mean about looking at the pictures and realizing the daunting task ahead. We still have to finish part two of our video, which will cover days 9-14.

Deanna, please let us know when you hear anything about the job!

Kelly, how was Wicked the second time around?!

Debbie and everyone who will get together in May, we will miss you!

Everyone else, we thought about the Transatlantic cruise a lot while we were onboard. Missed not having the big Dis presence on this ship, that you all made so memorable for us. Take care!

Hi Chris, did you miss me at the morning entertaining series? I loved Wicked even more the second time around. Knowing the characters and what was going to happen gave me a chance to see and hear so many other little details that I missed the first time around. Jonathan loved it and Zoe was mesmerized by it, she sat for the entire show thrilled and followed the story pretty well. She didn't like the green baby! Love to Rob!

 

[milestogo]

Chris, glad your trip went well. We were thinking about you last week cuz it looked like you had good weather.
