5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 11

[justmestace]

I am officially on vacation! Yeah! First up is cleaning the house. Then tonight will be dinner out at Bonefish Grill. Tomorrow morning we hit the road!

YEA!!!

Not until middle school, and only to keep in contact with me. At least that was the idea. Jordan seems to think hers is an extension of her arm.

Does anybody have Disney Mobile??? I'd like to know from someone who really has it whether or not its any good. ???

France
Escargots Provençal - Yes they were as good as ever.
Chausson au Fromage de Chèvre (Savory Goat Cheese Pastry) This sneaks up on you - It is sooooo rich and soooo filling....
Crème Brûlée au Chocolat
Sparr Riesling
Sparkling Pomegranate Kir
Georges Duboeuf Chardonnay
Chateau Bonnet Bordeaux Rouge
Kronenbourg 1664 Beer

I can promise you, Chocolate Creme Brulee is not there year round. We eat at Les Chefs every time we go. When we ate there during F&W, I sent Alicia out to buy me one of these for dessert. Mmmmmmm.

There are only two interesting dives.....shark dive.....and wall flying.

Both are by Stuart Cove.

ACK! I forgot about shark diving! Never mind.

"The wife" said "why would they need phones? they are with us 24/7!!"

not yet. not in this family anyway.

I really, really want to get Alicia one of those tracking phones. Especially since she's on the verge of driving on her own. Problem is, no self respecting teen would be caught dead with one of those. They look like little kid phones, which is how they're being marketed. If someone would get the bright idea of doing this with a "cool" phone, we'd be in business.

Good idea - B2B with the sharks!!!! Yeah.......(says she who has never tried it!)

Everyone stops at this kiosk - and it is well worth it. We were treated to the Salmon at the Race for the Taste — Sharon had the soup.


Canada
Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup
Maple Glazed Salmon with Arugula and Roasted Corn - very good.....
Maple Custard topped with Almond Cookies
Mission Hill Chardonnay
Mission Hill Reserve Riesling Icewine
Labatt Blue

I've about had all the fun I can have, cleaning out closets and now drawers.



I'm gaining a whole new appreciation for book work.

The cheaper of the two phones that Disney offers looks almost exactly like the phone that all 56 of our beer guys have... silver flip phone with a small screen on the front...

Elizabeth's choice will probably be that phone, or no phone. (Still thinking about tracfone, but actually, the Disney phone looks less cheezy than the tracfones do!)

Mary!

Are you all done and ready to go? If I take an overnight to Chicago, can I go with you? I'll bring snacks for Bear.....

All ready! Just came back from a nice pre-cruise dinner at Bonefish Grill. Mark just needs to go in for a little while tomorrow and then we are ready to go.

 

[mickeymo]

Have a great trip Mark, Mary, and Bear!!!

 

[RachelTori]

Bon Voyage, Mary & Mark!!


(I'm green with envy!)

 

[WDWLVR]

Thanks everyone. For those that are interested I've started an almost live thread over on the trip reports board.

Fashion Advice Needed - ASAP and that includes GaRRY, Jim and Kevin

So - no more emerald green wetsuit material. Apparently, the vision underwater is of a green morray and the maker discontinued. Am I to wear the basic black, "little black wetsuit that goes with everything" or am I bold enough to wear Neon Green, which does not wash out underwater.

On second, thought maybe I should not ask GaRRy......

If you haven't got a response yet, try Liquid Fit IIRC Matt has a wetsuit from them. They do custom colors and fits!

I'll be following along!!

Drive safely!

Good morning cruisers ​

Happy Thursday!​

Today's the day we leave. Mark needs to go into work for a little while and then we hit the road. If you can send some good thoughts our way as the route looks to be a wet one with rain coming through the entire way to Nashville (our stop for tonight). Hopefully it won't rain the entire time.​

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Mary - good morning...

Here is some for you Mark and Bear to travel safely...

Good Morning All!!!!

Thaks Kevin - that is the company I am dealing with....They discontinued the emerald green because one of her friends had such a suit and she looked laike a morray under water!!!!!!

We sent in measurements and yes, we flunked. Must retake several...and then we will call and discuss suit colors in more detail. Notice that Kevind did not chime in with an opinion....Sam's choice is black....Disboards, neon green....I may split the differences and go with alck with neon green accents....( a total neon green suit - I will look like a jelly bean!!!!) Not sure if I am that brave....we will see.

 

[chip&dale&fun]

Finally a kiosk that offers salas - First time I can recall this...And it is very, very good. We had this twice, once at the walk around the world and once at Race for the Taste - Jim and Matt shared!!!
