4/25/09 Magic - First Visit To Tortola!

[calcruisers]

Thanks to everyone for the fantastic fe gifts. The girls had a great time coming back to the room and finding new gifts. They also had so much fun giving them out over a few different days. It was great talking to people and seeing the blue wrist bands all over the ship.

We did sign up for our next cruise but since it won't be until 2011 we just did a space saver in Dec. 2010. Can't wait to see where the new ships are going or even the Wonder.

So glad it's Friday, this week has been tough.

We had a fantastic time. I wish we got involved with the group before we left on the cruise. We met a lot of nice people and look forward to cruising again in 2010! We love Disney

Back to work one week and We are ready to jump right back on the Magic. Let's go!!

Got back from the cruise, took a day to recover and got the "regular" flu plus ear and sinus infection. Still recovering, but took all my energy that I had from the cruise and threw it away! Getting strength back. Had to take 2 days off work after being out for 7 days already.

The FE gifts were great and my 15 year old was like the little kids, always looking to see what else the fairy dust brought.

Have not had time to go through the pictures to see what I am going to print out to put in the album yet.

Have unpacked and the suitcases are so SAD and want to go more more. Now deciding what do do for vacation next year - WDW or cruise.

Met a few people that I hopefully can stay in touch with - Rebecca and Chris out table mates (so interesting), Mike and Linda (wish we had more time to chat), Janie and Tom (again nice people), saw Rick, Sanei, and Q a few times in passing. Danny & michele and Tizbear met in the port but never saw on the ship! And 2 families we met 2 years ago was great to see them again - Trings and dadlvsdisney.

Have some great ideas for next FE gifts from what was given this time around that I would not have thought to do. The homemade scrap books, precious and what a keep sake!

have to go to work now and dig myself out of the overflow.

Hi -- It's Monday the 11th and we got back from WDW last night. I am now at the place everyone else was last week. We had a wonderful cruise and it was so nice meeting everyone. I wish we had been able to talk to more of you. The group picture is great! Thanks for all the wonderful FE gifts -- like others have said, it was like Christmas every time went back to our cabin. I felt like a little kid .
Our table mates were great and really made the trip extra fun for us.
Our trip to WDW was great - it was sunny and very hot. We rested a lot by the pool.

I am just unpacking and doing wash and sleeping in between. Gary dragged himself off to work this morning - we are still in shock that we are home but were thrilled to see our kitties. I can't wait to see pictures and hope to get to mine later this week. I'll write more later - I was just anxious to look on the boards and see how people were doing. i hope everyone is doing well!

Sandy glad you got home safe and had a great time. The post card was quite a nice surprise. Don't work too hard. Only advantage to being retired is not having to go back to work. tee hee

I know what you mean Lisa. I found my daughter and I on bikes in one of the pictures by the adult beach which is funny as I saw Rebecca only a few times the entire cruise so again, I missed an opportunity to meet and talk with the two of them.

Thanks! We used a Canon PowerShot SD790 IS. For the underwater photos, we used a Dicapac waterproof case and it worked wonderfully!

Rachael, great so far. I have only read day one. I am still using dial up so it takes a long time for all those pics to come up. (I play bridge while I am waiting)
You are really something special. Thanks for all you help and input. This was a great magical cruise. The Disboards and FE's really made it special.
