Put me down for getting the Official "Do-over" cruise pens! In lime green, of course.

 

[CajunGirl2]

I'd be willing to make the markers for the tables ... maybe with the help of some of the creative people for the design.

Can I also suggest doing any beer/wine/martini tastings as a group? Bruce & I did the beer tasting alone... well, with each other. It would have been more fun to have been with others.

OMG - I forgot to thank Karen for the pens. Please forgive me! They are great and I use mine every day!

 

[MickeyMo'sBo]

I will take on setting up the group photo.

 

[whnim64]

OK, I'll be brave and link early diners, if I can get pointers from Sue and Stacey about doing this. Hopefully they can sit us more toward the middle of the dining rooms. I didn't like being against a wall too well. (Not your fault, Sue).

 

[armyfam]

And Susan!!!

Thank you, Monica!!
We are working on it too!
We'll have to check out those cruise dates when they come out...

The gift that keeps giving and giving ( or is that taking??)

That's what Jim believes. If you add up all of the "costs" that the 10 day cruise and related activities (future cruises, LOTS of pre / post cruise meets, Dive Trips with friends from the the cruise, etc) it would be a lot . However, the friendship "benefits" far outweigh the "costs".

Jim - how do you like my "Cost Accounting" Analysis? Good thing that "boring" analysis helps to keep paying for the 10 day cruise (and related activities)

 

[whnim64]

Yes there was a group brunch in Palo, and no it wasn't an open invitation. This wasn't meant to exclude anyone or to hurt anyone's feelings.

Not an issue with us. In fact, we might not even do Palo next cruise GASP!

Not a problem. THere were so many ppl doing so many nice things, it's hard to keep it all straight.

I can't believe we're assigning jobs and creating lists of activites for a cruise that doesn't even exist yet!! How exciting!!

Well, maybe you'll have to make the choice to pull Lisa out of gymnastics to further finance your cruises!???!?!?

I missed Mary's original thank you list....not sure how...


but did you mention KikiKaren and her Budweiser/flip flop/bottle openers?
Thanks for those, Karen!

 

[mickeymo]

I'm just grinning from ear to ear because the dh volunteered for a job for another cruise!!!! I can't believe, We're going on another cruise!!!!

Since Maggie has Scoopie - we'll continue to act on his behalf (unless someone discovers a "do-over" mascot - stuffed golf tee named mulligan??

Now that John has his new camera - that thing better be permantly in front of his face during the cruise... Maybe we'd better sign up for early AND late seating since he nominated himself as the group photographer...

No I didn't Thank you Karen! (both Karen Kiki for the gift and Karen OM for the reminder)

But I didn't get to give them out to everyone... guess I've REALLY got to do a do-over...

(In fact- they're all still in the bottom of my purse... no wonder it's so heavy...)

 

[mickeymo]

Speaking of Scoopie...

His website was set up in Publisher, and I was able to convert it to a Publisher print publication. It is updated through his final visit with Sandi. If anyone would like a print copy pm me. Or, would it be easier to send a disc to Mark for general distribution?

You mentioned them twice but, I missed the handout- yep, great reason for a do-over...we usually misplace ours...Would be nice to have another...

 

[scuba.mom]

Not going to happen. I have already re-arranged my work schedule, am driving nightly to Lake Mary (and I hate to drive), and EVERYONE in the family is helping to support this process. This is where I draw the line on "for the good of the cruise" (HA HA)

Actually by then Lisa hopefully will be competing at Nationals as a 10 in mid-May. June should be clear (Nationals is the end of their season).

The big question is what Matt is going to want to be doing for his graduation. I 'll let you know when he lets us know what he's thinking (However he will be 18 and could finally do Palo's etc)
