Hi guys!

Wow, I have lots of pages to read!!! I've been sick with 102 fever and respiratory infection (fun with my asthma). I'm starting to feel better but my kids both developed fever yesterday and a little while ago both had 102.5 We are supposed to fly down to Florida on Sunday. Although that won't be happening unless their fevers are gone! Plus now I'm scrambling to find a hotel because I don't want to go anywhere near my niece's new baby! Sorry to rant but I'm a wreck right now!

On to happy things, as I was lying in bed sick Wednesday, I did get to see the segment on Good Morning America on the Wonder and live interview from Castaway! It brought some sunshine to my day!

Hope everyone is doing well!
Veronica

I hope you all get better soon veronica and have a great time.

In regard to what to wear to dinner, you guys are gonna hate me. I don't like to dress up. Heck I don't wear skirts to work - just dress pants and shirts. On my previous cruises (before kids approx 10 yrs ago) I would start with good intentions (dress up for formal night etc) but by about day 4 it was the bunch of us (5 girls) in jean shorts and t-shirts showing up for dinner.

So I will try to dress for dinner on the cruise but you may want to try and avoid me when I give up on it.[/QUOTE?]

Sandra i will be right there with you in jeans and shorts at dinner. I really don't like dressing up either. I do the black capri's and nice blouse but i would much prefer jeans..lol I don't remember are you early or late seating?

Hi suzanne, How was your day?
Hope your having fun mandy.
Laurie where is my evil twin?

Laurie where is my evil twin?

Finally

Congrats on the new wheels!! I am happy it came through before you had to leave!

Hope all is well - I'll reply more to the rest tomorrow - I am behind - fell asleep on the couch at 7:30 (after my walk on the TREADMILL - HELLO?!?!) - anyway, just wanted to say goodbye to my evil twin - I'll miss you this week! Have a GREAT time - be sure to think about me as you pass exit 4 on the turnpike - I'll be REALLY sleeping by the time you are passing!! Be safe - talk to you soon!

Goodnight all - all this exercising has me pooped!

Laurie

Hi there,

It seems this board has been busy for quite a while. My family just bumped up our reservation from the Halloween cruise to the Double Dip - yeah - two months just went out the window! We sailed last October on the 7 Night Eastern for the first time and are hooked (no pun intended).

My DW and I have two small kids (DS/DD) that have been to DisneyWorld more times than their age! The last cruise meet board for our October trip was very active so its nice to see this one seems to be just as much if not more.

Looking forward to "meeting" everyone and catching up.

All the best,
Brent

Welcome Aboard Brent and family!! That is so great that you bumped up your cruise!!! How old are you children?? We are huge into WDW too - last year we went 3 times - TOTALLY love it - people (who are obviously NOT disney people) will ask me, "How do you go to the same place over and over" DUH - it's Disney that's how!! Don't be a stranger! We'd love to hear about your last cruise and see some pics!!

Welcome Debi, Paul, and family!! You guys are going to LOVE the cruise.. This is our 3rd, and we are totally looking forward to it!!

My name is Laurie, I am cruising w/my husband Carming, and 2 sons, Dominic is 11, and Anthony will be 9 at cruise time. What grade is Christopher in? Maybe he can be 'club buddies' w/Dominic!!

Again - welcome aboard you guys - hope to see you on the boards here and onboard!!!

 

[DVCLaurie05]

So long ladies. I am off to bed i have to get up in 2 hours. Have good week.

I am missing my evil twin already... I hope you have a great time!!

Well ladies, I am off to do my exercise video, then Ant has basketball at 9:45, then a birthday party this afternoon - so, busy busy busy - oh, and I never made it to AC Moore yesterday, and I have the super saturday coupon for 50% off - so, I want to get a frame for one of the DCL posters that I got for the houseparty, so I can hang it in the basement!

Off I go to 'walk away the pounds!'

Have a great day all - hopefully I'll pop on later!

Hello Laurie, Christopher is turning twelve in April and is in sixth grade. I am so thrilled to be going on this cruise Debi

 

[mandymouse]

Oh no you wouldn't want me to sport a bikini. There are children to consider

Sydney stayed home again today as she was still "getting sick" last night but she is much better today!!

I'm so pleased that Sydney is feeling better

You shouldn't have told us athat suzanne. Didn't you read the earlier discussion between laurie,mandy and myself/ We have to throw things at you now down at th epool...lol you are one of the skinny people.

LOL, yep it looks like we've found our victim to throw things at - poor Suzanne

Aww Veronica, I hope you're all well enough for your trip. A bit of sunshine and heat would probably do you the world of good. Fingers crossed for you

Hey Sandra, you wear whatever you like to dinner, I hate it when people moan about what other people wear to dinner. I know I like to dress up, but I'm not checking everyone out to see what they've got on. You wear whatever makes you comfortable - I'll still be your friend

Hey feel free to throw drinks at me........I'm seriously not that skinny trust me!! You'll still like me.....

No, I was thinking more pastries and cakes to fatten you up

So long ladies. I am off to bed i have to get up in 2 hours. Have good week.

Have a great time Michele, I'm missing you already

Welcome aboard Brent, Debi and families, it's great to have you here. I'm Mandy, I'm from the UK, and I'm a Moderator over on the UK Community. I'm travelling with my hubby Paul and 2 daughters

If you go to our first page you will see that I've made a list of who we all are and the ages of our kids etc. If you'd like to be added, then just reply on this thread

I look forward to getting to know you

 

[mandymouse]

Hey Guys, as you can see, I'm home

We had a great night last night. We went out to dinner at a Pizzeria, and after a couple of drinks we ended up at an 80's club - where we had a bit of a boogie

This morning we went to the shopping mall, but we didn't get anything, there's still not enough Summer clothing in the shops yet, but I did check out some swimwear

I'm really tired now, as I never sleep well in hotel rooms, so I'll probably have a little sleep in front of the TV this afternoon

Have a great day everyone

 

[Debs Disney]

Hello! I would like to be added to the list of families. Thanks Debi

 

[DVCLaurie05]

Laurie! I have Walk Away the Pounds too!!! Great minds think alike! I think I won't be snow shoeing right now! It is -14 F!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO that's COLD!! I did my video, I started out w/the one mile - and loving it so far, I feel like a fool stomping in front of the TV though, but whatever works!!!!

Hello Laurie, Christopher is turning twelve in April and is in sixth grade. I am so thrilled to be going on this cruise Debi

That's great - Maybe we can get Dominic and Christopher to 'meet' each other online, emailing or im'ing or something - this way they'll get to 'know' each other.. My little one is a social butterfly, very easy to meet people, where Dominic needs the extra boost, when he is comfortable w/someone he is a jabber jaw, but, if he doesn't know you - he is SILENT - kinda like his father!!!

Anyway, gotta get the tribe ready for basketball!

Catch ya all later!
Laurie

 

[DVCLaurie05]

Veronica -

I hope you are feeling better for your trip!! I hate being sick - UGH!! It's hard for mom to get sick ya know - But, I think the sun in FL will do you good and maybe you can swing over and see our Mets in Spring Training - we were supposed to go this weekend, but, plan fell through.. Anyway, keep us posted on your trip - hope you are feeling better

Mandy -

Welcome back! So, I guess you didn't buy me a bikini then this morning, huh? Glad to here you had a nice time - and some boogying!! You are too much!!

Alright, this time I am REALLY off to get ready for basketball! LOL

Have a great one everyone!
Laurie
