4/26/03 ....who is going?

[softfluff]

Our party has increased. We will now have 5 adults. A four year girl and a 3 year old boy.

We are all really exicted. I am thinking of booking Captian Marvin's privately for stingray city. My daughter really wants to go.

Glad to see some more posts about our cruise. NCMVP....glad to hear you are joining us! This should be a great cruise. The group we are traveling with from NH has grown to 6 families with a total of 12 adults and 12 kids. We are all really looking forward to this. Lets keep posting!!

...Do you know where we'll be in LESS THAN 6 Months??? This will be our gift for making it through the cold, gray winter.

Jillie: We're now under the 150 day mark! I remember when you couldn't wait until it was only 200 days.

Anyone else with us?

 

[stiebermom]

We are going too and are very excited...I can't believe it is almost here. December will fly by due to the holidays and then it will be only 4 months. My family includes my dh, dd (7), and dd (3). DD7 is really looking forward to the club, and we are hoping DD3 will be for at least 4 hours so dh and I can snorkle together on Key West.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

 

[Jillie]

Plutospup: You are right about that...now less than 150 days and counting. Our group of 6 families is getting together tonight to look at our videos from last Aprils Magic cruise to show the 3 new families just what it is all about. I am sure this will get everyone even more excited to go.

 

[plutospup]

I'm dreaming of ........our WESTERN CRUISE! ...in only 4 months! Our "white Christmas" today was nice, but I'm very much looking forward to warm, sunny weather. I hope everyone had a nice holiday.

 

[Jillie]

You are right, plutospup, I just realized 4 months fromnow we will be on that great ship. I cannot wait after we just got dumped with about 20 inches of snow yesterdAY! Has anyone started thinking about their excursions?

 

[stiebermom]

I have been thinking a lot about excursions. I would like to snorkel in Key West, snorkel in Grand Cayman, snorkel in Cozumel, and snorkel at Castaway Cay!! Can you tell I love to snorkel??

More specifically, I have been considering renting a car in both Cozumel and Grand Cayman and doing some exploring on our own. Alternatives include a trip to San Gervasio and Chankaab Park from Shoretrips.com in Cozumel and just taking a taxi to Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman.

We have nothing definite yet, but I am always planning, planning, planning.

Any ideas?

 

[Jillie]

When we went last year their were 3 families with 12 of us altogether and we did our excursions all together. This trip we will be 6 families with 24 of us so I do not think we will all do the same excursions.
We are thinking of Stingray City in Grand Cayman, the Jeep Safari in Cozumel and maybe renting jet skis in Key West. Whatever we do I know it will be a blast!

 

[Jillie]

bump

we keep getting lost!!

 

[plutospup]

Jillie...We're lost in all of this snow! I'm forced to use my "Island Mango" air freshener in my car to remind me of our reward for making it through this snowy winter! Before you know it we'll be on the high seas where it's warm and sunny!

 

[saturday97]

I shouldn't complain but we've had enough rain here in Arizona to make me reeeeeally wish April would hurry up and get here!! I'm so excited!!!

 

[Jillie]

We, too, continue to get buried in snow and are expecting more the next three days in a row! Oh, what i wouldn't give to be sitting at the quiet cove pool with a "drink of the day" right now!

 

[Jillie]

WooHoo!!!! We are now at 100 days from our MAGICal cruise!! I cannot wait...we are having a SuperBowl Party on the 26th for the six families we are traveling with on this cruise. It will be 3 months from that day so figured it was a good time to start getting the 3 new cruising families more into what actually goes on during the cruise.
We are going to try to figure out our excursions, what to do the day prior to sailing as we are all flying in to MCO a day early. Last year we spent the day at the Magic Kingdom..not sure what to do this year??
Has anyone started shopping for their cruise yet?

 

[beschultz]

My birthday was Monday and my husband surprised me with a check to pay off the cruise!! I just need to be able to get to the bank and deposit it!

We have had about 8 inches of snow in the last 3 hours and it doesn't look like it will end soon.

What a great way to celebrate the 100 day countdown!

WE'RE REALLY GOING! I can't believe it! See you at the Port!

Beth

3:30 pm snow total - 28 inches and they have predicted 24 more before it ends!!

I've already got my dress for formal and semi-formal nights. I bought it for my company Christmas party, but it's short sleeved, so I'm planning to wear it on the cruise. And it was only $30 at Ross!

We booked this cruise in January 2002 - I can't believe a whole year has gone by! April 26 will be here before we know it! Woo hoo!

 

[plutospup]

Three months from today we'll be on our way!!!!

Jillie: Have a great time with your Super Bowl Party. (It would have been better with the Phila. Eagles...grrrrrr...grumble, grumble)

 

[johnf]

Sorry about your Eagles Plutospup....Heh heh heh.
Let's go BUCS!!!!

We can't wait until our cruise! We recently slummed and took Norwegian Cruise Lines "Norwegian Sea" from Miami to Key West and Nassau on 1/2. LOVE the freestyle cruising part, but other than that, it was pretty third rate. Tiny cabin, HORRIBLE kid's program, mediocre food, and terrible room service food. The only good thing was that we got to go to Key West, do the train/trolley tour and get a feeling for what to do on our Disney cruise. Weather was terrible (cold and windy) and since there was NO kid's program in port, we were very limited in what we could do with our DS 6.

3 months to go!!!!!

Tampa Bay, FL (the BEST place to live anywhere!)
GO BUCS!!!

 

[plutospup]

What do you suggest seeing/doing with a 5 yr old in Key West?

BTW, after the Bucs spanked the Eagles last week, I certainly wouldn't bet against Tampa Bay today!

 

[saturday97]

Plutospup, we have a DS5 and for Key West, we are just going to walk around, maybe do the conch train tour. We are just winging it in Key West but will probably do excursions in the other prots.
