5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 3

[ohiominnie]

did I set myself up for a TOP???

 

[scuba.mom]

Yeah, the only "fluffy" college sports program I know is the University of Michigan. Bunch of fluff there!

Be careful - Lisa may want to go there. KT can always come visit her (as long as she wasn't wearing her OSU cheerleading outfit)

 

[tinksdad]

But won't you be tenting outside of the terminal?

Lisa may be a little further behind, since she has got to "carry the wine"!!

(We were all jealous here of those of you who were able to start your vacation early before the cruise. Our kids were in school thru the Friday before we left - Bad Hurricanes!!!)

This time, school will be out on 5/24... believe me... the date is already CLEARLY marked on my calendar!!! I might just have to take 5/25 & 5/26 off for some pre-cruise DIS'ing!

I don't know if Jim answered this or not (too lazy to read through all of the posts to find out):

Banyuls Rimage "Les CLos de Paulilles", Banyuls 2002

Thanks to both of you!!

Looks like there may be Port in my future. So Jim, which Port do you like or drink the most?

I don't tent (remember) - my idea of camping is "hiking" from the parking lot if they don't have Valet Parking. (Ok, you know me. I'm not really that much of a princess - but I would sure like to be !!!)

Sorry, but KT has sworn she will NEVER step foot in the state of Michigan UNLESS she absolutely HAS to b/c she's an OSU cheerleader and she has to go to THE game (which OSU will probably win)

She believes that since there is so little land connecting Ohio and Michigan, that possibly we could saw it off and it wouldn't be part of the United States anymore! (and, she just told me, the US would be a much happier place!!)

 

[ohiominnie]

Ok, kids want to swim and must do so soon so we can leave for VBS around 5:00....

so I'm forfeiting my chance to snag the next milestone post which should be in about 12 posts or so....


COOL!! I had NO IDEA, but I kinda got a milestone posts..... #8888!

Well, if she get her wish Matt, Lisa and I will be in a "foreign" country in a few weeks. We are very much looking forward to spending a week in Michigan with my family at a lake. It is wonderful "cousin" bonding time for my kids since we live so far away from our families.

Besides... isn't it great to be able to sleep in your OWN bed the night before a cruise... and not do the airport-rental car-hotel-transfer-lug the bags (and wine)-terminal dance!!!!!

Stay... it won't take long....

OK... so maybe I was wrong...

Glad I could help out here. Enjoy!

2002 Banyuls Rimage Les Clos de Paulilles (500ml)
Price: $17.99


The Paulilles vineyard surrounds the bay of Paulilles in the heart of the appellation of Collioure and Banyuls. Les Clos de Paulilles is owned and managed by the Daure family, one of the most influential winemaking families in the Rousillon. Rimage is a Catalan word which means vintage. Therefore a rimage Banyuls is a fortified wine in which all grapes come from a certain vintage, much like a Colheita or vintage Port. Made of 100% black grenache, this Banyuls exhibits a dark black-purple robe, with intense blackberry jam and succulent rich flavors. This is France's answer to Port, and the absolute best wine to pair with chocolate!

No wonder I liked it so much, it's supposed to go with chocolate!

We haven't tried Artist Point at WL, I'm putting it on the list. Also have not tried the two other nice restaurants at GF. I keep looking at the menus and thinking we could go to CA Grille for THAT!

 

[Dancind]

I have lived in the Southwest all my adult life, and Kevin has lived in Albuquerque all his life. So the OU/Michigan thing goes right over our heads. UNM is not exactly a powerhouse school.

Anybody been to bluezoo yet? I am thinking about dinner there for our anniversary (though F&W is at Epcot then... I could eat all day for what we'll spend on dinner... tough choice).

 

[kikipug]

OK - I'll celebrate the TOP in a separate post, seeing as we're so close to a PSEUDO-milestone!! Tick...tick...tick... darn 40 second rule!

 

[kikipug]

Hello... anybody home... don't want to have to reach this PSEUDO-milestone all by myself... (I know you're out there Diana... your green light is on....)

 

[CajunGirl2]

One more closer...

Bet kiki's going to get it
