2011/2012 Reunion Cruise?

[BethC1952]

Wendy:

Good luck with your new home! Don't forget, you have friends here at the Jersey Shore when you need a "beach fix".

I'm here at the Radisson at the Port, waiting to watch Magic sail away. Tomorrow I won't be looking out the window at the ships, I'll be on the ship looking back at the resort!

I'll be taking tons of pictures and will be posting a trip report once we get back on Thursday!

Well we moved out our house on Thursday, and yesterday I shipped the car. It was a huge relief to get my housing deposit back, as I'd had to put down 6900 Euros!

I leave for San Antonio tomorrow. And then after my course will get to visit Pittsburgh and my new home!

Take care everyone!

Wendy

Have a safe trip back to the states. Sorry, we'll miss you in Texas. I know they are going to keep you busy busy. Wave to us as you fly over Dallas.

Definitely let us know when you get settled into PA. Welcome back to the states!

Bon Voyage!

You are going to have a WONDERful time. Please dip your feet in the waters of Serenity Bay for me. We never got down there on our last Disney cruise.

I can't wait to see your photos and hear all about your trip.

Well...We leave for Alaska today!!! Yippee!!! No work for 10 whole days!! This will be my first time flying ever, and I'm not excited. I just have this vision of us spirling down in a firey heap. Hopefully everything will go okay though.
We have good news to tell you guys. We've sold our house and made an offer on another one. We are really excited!!! Now we just have to figure out what bank we are going to go with for financing. I work at a bank, but we are getting the run around with the mortgage girl from the main branch. Hopefully we will figure it out today because when we get back we will have 19 days before we close on our house. I hope we have a place to live!!!
We will tell you guys all about Alaska when we get back!!!

 

[plutojudy]

Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to hear about your Alaska trip.
Congrats on selling the house and good luck on getting financing for the new one. I guess this means you have decided not to move to Florida.

Your work reminds me of a commercial I saw for Lending Tree. "But, you work here?"

Our life is so hectic now a days Annette just finished her Women's Retreat at camp so now we are in full on packing mode! The PODS in the driveway. I can't believe how much stuff there is. Most of its my Disney "museum". We have been selling and giving away lots of things that we have hauled around for years. I'll be glad when we are finished. Our arrival date is somewhere around June 21st.

Okay, all you DISers are moving. Is there something in the water?!?!?!?! Good luck with the move!

My Mom is in the process of pricing movers. Do they move PODS across the country???? (VA to TX) We were planning on heading to VA to help her pack (when the time comes). I was curious if PODS would be an option for her. We could help move the items into the crate in VA and then help move them out in TX. She will be in town this upcoming weekend. She's coming to watch my nephews for my sister and hopefully put money down on a new house that will be completed in August.

Summer has arrived in Texas! We finally went swimming for the first time in our pool on Saturday. We had a perfect hot and sunny day on Monday (Memorial Day).

You will have to check to POD website to see if they will move the POD. They did not from OR to MT, from OR yes but no PODS in MT yet. We are a large but unpopulated state. Many businesses are not interested in setting up shop up here. That is okay with us though, we don't need to be highly populated.

Sounds like fun. I know you will both enjoy it

 

[JsMom2]

Wow, everyone's been busy!

Can't wait to see all the photos from the Wonder and Alaska! I've only been on 1 Alaska cruise, years ago. But I still remember how beautiful it was!

Jennifer, you'll love the ABD trip! I warn you now though, they are addictive! I'm pretty sure we're going to do South Africa over Christmas in 2010.

I'm in PA now. I was crazy busy in Texas between the class, meeting with my assignments folks, getting new uniforms, and then getting an official photo in my new uniforms. I also went out to Best Buy to look at TVs and bought one that I'll pick up here later tonight. Then tomorrow I'll get my cable and internet hooked up at the house.

I finally got a chance to see the place I'm buying. It's tiny, but we really want to downsize. It'll be a good chance to get rid of all the extra stuff we don't need. And since I'm spending less than half of my housing allowance each month, we'll have more money for vacations! I actually started renting the place from the current owner as of last night, and then will close on it on July 3rd. I need to wait until 3 years have passed since I sold my last home, so that I qualify as a "1st time" home buyer.

I went into the squadron today, and met with the commander that I'll be replacing. I'll be taking over one of the best recruiting squadrons in the Air Force! I can't wait to get into the job! I found out we'll have to reschedule our Labor Day trip to AKV though, because our squadron will be at the big air show in Dayton OH that weekend! I already got a sneak peek at the cool trucks and trailers we have to take with us there! When I was in Texas I bought Jasmine a t-shirt to wear at the Air Shows. The front says "Got Liberty?" and the back says "Courtesy of my Mom in the United States Air Force." She can help us pass out brochures and goodies!

I'm going to double-check the calendar tomorrow, but I think we'll be moving our trip to 18-21 Sept. Air Tran has some non-stop flights from PIT. And we can leave at 4pm on the Friday, and be back by 10am on the Monday. That way Jasmine will only miss a few hours of school each day.

Well I better get to Best Buy to pickup my TV. Then back home to my air mattress.....

Take care everyone!

We moved from Oklahoma City to Baltimore and now from here to Tampa. PODS is not in every city but does go to most good sized markets. It is the best way to move!

I'll check into it for her. Thanks!

My Mom officially put money down on a new house here in Frisco, Texas. It should be completed in August. It is a 55 and over community, which is like where she lives now. She has been dragging her feet on the move. It is very difficult for her as expected. My Step-Dad's gravesite is at Quantico. So, she won't get to visit him that often. Maybe, once a year now. Also, she is selling the house they lived in. So many memories.

Our best to your mom. Those life transitions are so difficult. It should help her to be near you and the grandkids though.
