Suzie,

Love the picture, I am on the road for work again and figured I would check in. Saw the email from the other site and that some people responded to it, but for some strange reason I still feel the need to post on this thread. Hope all is well with everyone and that in 13 days everyone has a merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone!



Thinking back a year ago, where were we???? Still planning away, sharing quips online, getting to "know" each other. What a year it has been! We have a new addition to our family, some great friends from the cruise, and lots of wonderful memories! So very glad we got to know everyone and cruise together! We're talking about when we can cruise next, so hope to catch y'all on the boards again!!!

 

[STEVEMED]

Happy Hollidays to all.....

Suzie...The picture of the girls is so cute.

 

[suziemva]

Thanks, Steve. I think so too, but I'm a little tiny bit biased!!! BTW- need to get with you to see when, what and how you want to meet up next month, if you're still up for it!

 

[STEVEMED]

Sounds good to me...give me a call about a week before and we can work out the details.

 

[suziemva]

Will do....

Anyone else having issues with this site? I can't use the emoticons or quick reply......

Well haven't checked in lately so I thought we could take a look back into the past. It has been 243 days since we left Mickeys Boat, and if you go back 243 days before we boarded it would have been August 29, 2005 we would have been on http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=656727&page=35 page 35. I don't know about all ya all but I think it is cool to go back and check out what we were talking about.

Wow!!! You guys are still going on this thread!

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday and Happy New Year!!

Tom, again my friend we had a great time over Thanksgiving! I wish we had more time, but I guess we'll just have to do it again!

Suzie, I love the photos!!

Steve - Well after hearing the praises from Tom, I will just have to meet you one day!!

Everyone have a great 2007!

Hello everyone. Haven't been on here in so long that I was worried you might have all forgotten about us! I ended up down at WDW for 11 days the beginning of December. I spent 6 days by myself touring resorts and taking 3000 pictures. Would have been nice to have some company though. Everyone down there was complaining about the cold weather, but it was -37C when I left home so I was walking around in shorts the whole time! The course was great and I met some great friends during that time.

I was able to stop in at two things during MouseFest. I really want to figure out some way to get there again for that next year. One night we met at Raglan Road, and I was really nervous about going down there by myself, but I Nathan Rose was so great to make me feel welcome, and I ended up meeting some really great people that night. I was only able to make the last half hour of the Mega Mouse Meet, but what I saw was great. Lou Mongello (sp?) signed a couple of books for me and I was able to talk to a lot of podcasters that I listen to all the time.

I can't remember if I updated everyone on Len's knee or not. We got into see a specialist really quick by pulling some strings. He was supposed to have his appointment in Feb, but saw the doctor quickly and was put on a cancellation list because his knee was in such bad shape. He ended up getting his surgery Nov. 27th, just a few days before I left for Florida! He has now gotten rid of the crutches and is just down to a cane. The doctor said yesterday that he will be able to go back to "light duties" in about 4 more weeks.

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas and New Years. We had some bad news which made the Christmas & New Years a lot quieter, but we must go on and live for the living.

I don't want to quit on a sad note here, so I will tell you about touring The Wonder a few weeks ago. It was so amazing to go up those escalators and nobody was in sight. I got some great pictures of the ship model, and then we went onto the ship. We weren't allowed to take any pictures on the ship as it wasn't "stage ready", but it sure was nice to be able to see everything without a bunch of crowds. We even got to tour the Walt Disney Suite. Amazing. That's the closest I'll ever get! I sure wish I could have taken pictures in that one! Really makes me want to book another cruise though. Maybe by next year, but I won't be holding my breath!

Sorry this is so long winded, had a lot to catch up on. Take care everyone, and stay in touch.

Great to see everyone keeping up the thread, though I haven't been doing my part! Tom & Julie, Suze & Ed, Steve & fam, and especially Barb (TOURS!), I am a little green monster here, longing for a bit of Disney vacation! My favorite WDW trip was just after Thanksgiving thru the first few days of December. What a great time to be there, with all the Christmas decorations up and light crowds. Hope everyone had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a wonderful start to the NEW YEAR!

I just checked the official DCL site and found 4/26/08 listed as a sail date (it's that last one on the list)...is this our date???!!! (Probably old news to most, but I'm always running a little behind, I think.) Let's get on it, people!

 

[suziemva]

STEVE!!! I can't find your phone number!!!! Please PM me or call me....or post here and I'll try to get to you....geez, can't believe I can't find your number and NOW I can't get on the Yahoo site! 8 days and counting!!!

 

[rubysmom]

Here's Suzie again:
Here's me:

Ck your PM dahling.

For all of you wondering, I called and left Suzie a message earlier today with the venerable Rhodie's ph #, even repeated it for clarity, and lo and behold it was her OWN cell #. Just figured that one out. 2 hrs later. You sure you want to cruise with me again??

 

[suziemva]

tee-hehee!

 

[BLBCB]

Trish, I got your PM, but I can't reply for some reason. I have emailed you from both of my email accounts though. I used the email address that you listed on the yahoo cruise contact info page.

Just thought I'd give a weather report for those of you lucky people heading down to Florida soon. Last week we had beautiful weather for Christmas Break. Temps above freezing and most of the snow melted. Tuesday night, a storm blew in and didn't leave until Thurs. night. No school for two days Get up this morning and buses are cancelled again, this time due to windchill. The kids are getting a 5 day weekend. It was -50C with the windchill this morning. How can we go from above freezing and then a few days later this. I said I wasn't going to move again, but I think Florida is calling my name!

Have a great day everyone!

 

[suziemva]

Can I just say OH MY GOODNESS!!! Freezing your ney-ney's off, are we?! Geez, we're getting so spoiled with this weather that 40 deg feels cold!!!

This time next week, I'll be in my shorts and tank tops again....sitting by the pool possibly.....just streets away from my buddy Steve...aka BORAT.....still have to find that email, Trish....

Tom, gotta give a shout out to ya'! How're things going? Still traveling alot? Soccer season will be here before you know it!

Gotta run...decorating for a baby shower tomorrow for a friend....

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Well, the Pirate and I are settling in to our post-cruise depression. We still haven't figured out how to upload the pics so we will just have to wait until the next cruise to show them to you. We'll be on the ship showing you our 2-year old pics of the ship.

Life here is danged cold. There is a bunch of white stuff falling from the sky and our stingy landlord (that's me) won't let the Pirate turn up the heat. He turns it up, I turn it down. I want him to get so cold that he finally figures out that the only way he will warm up is to take me back to the Carribean.

In the meantime, we have become carnivores. We decided to spend the new year dropping some pounds. I wanted to do South Beach, heck I wanna do anything that has a beach. But Jon wants to do big hunks of animal flesh. He says it's more manly. This from a guy in a skirt. (Bunch 'o smilies out there and I can't find a single one of a Pirate in a kilt.) Anyway, hunks of animal it is, and I think our little doggie is feeling a bit nervous.

So, Suzie are you near NYC? I will be in the big city next month. Never been; I will be the one staring up at the Big Buildings with my mouth wide open. Hmm, can't find a smilie for that either. And Trish, how far are you from Spokane? I will be there in March.

You'd think with all of this traveling (I'm going to Oakland this month) that I would get to see Mickey, but oooooh nooooo. I have to spend the time with a bunch of stuffy researchers.

Have we set the date yet? Are we going April 08 or May 08? I need to get the Roses Hospitality Suite scheduled! (Official party suite of the Steve Med Fan Club).

OMG Barb! Holy cow! How do you keep the pipes from freezing?
How's Len's knee? I guess he doesn't have to keep ice on it, huh?
