5/27/06 "Il pochi il fiero i blabbermouths" We *will* sail again Part 6

[Dancind]

Shiann, you have missed this explanation. But our daughter goes to a Performing Arts HS. The "eligible" girls outnumber the "eligible" boys by about four to one. So she is really, really looking forward to this cruise. As her parents, we are looking forward to this cruise with some trepidation.

The picture is way back on page 1825. Blabbermouths, remember?

Hi Stacey! Hope you're staying warm in NE! Good job on the lottery!

Kiki!!!

 

[CajunGirl2]

Where is everyone today? Our celebrating Kiki's b-day? Or honoring Stacey's request not to be too chatty? Thought I'd have a few posts to read after lunch. Anyway, hope everyone is having a good day!

Greetings everyone ,

I do not know if there is any way that I can keep up with a 27500+ post thread, but I will give it a try!

I wanted to stop in and join the thread and hopefully get to know some of the people who we will be sailing with on the May 27 Double Dip! On the cruise it will be my wife (Beckie - not on the DIS) and myself.

We did the Wonder in January 2001 on our honeymoon, but we were unable to dock at CC because of weather . I am excited about the double dip, this way we can finally (5+ years later) make it to CC.

Welcome Paul -- We are almost neighbors. Live in El Paso Texas. There is another family here on this thread from Albuquerque as well. Check out this site www.monorailgreen.info. Mark and Mary have this wonderful website where they are keeping track of everything for us. We will have some custom buttons that Mark and Mary are making, and T-shirts and Excursion Bags we are ordering special for our cruise.

 

[tinksdad]

You don't scuba dive do you??



Jump on in and have a ball!!


A TOP with the new guy Paul!!

Hey Laura & Julia,

When y'all drive down to the port, do you go through Jacksonville or stay on 75 to the turnpike? I'm trying to decide what to do. If we don't leave until after Emily gets out of school on that Fri., I can't see us driving all the way to the port that night & was thinking that staying in JAX area would be an option. If we do leave earlier, we'd probably ask my sister to stay with them so that we could have a brief visit (beside, it's looking like a lot of places at the port are already booked up).

Ang

It's easier to go through Jacksonville. The hardest part of the trip is usually getting south of Atlanta -- then we feel like we're "on our way!!" I believe the mileage from our home to the port is 530 - so your's should be comparable.

I din't realize it had been that cold in Ohio. Don't hurt yourself skating tonight.

Where was the drink warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darn near choked on an apple

I was thinking that last night! I've never cruised before so I don't know what it's like to be with a bunch of OTHER DISers. I can't imagine that the experience is quite the same.

Ang

Our November cruise was fun, but as you said different. We were not as chatty as this group. But we had a group that went through Katrina, Rita and Wilma, so we all supported each other.

We ordered green neon bracelets and it was quite fun to see each other at the port.

There was lots of chat about DD and DS and the kids programs....I think we all talked each other into buying new formal wear!!!!!

It was great fun bumping into each other at events on board....

Hi Paul & Becky! I'm the better half of the couple from Albuquerque. We are cruising with our 15 year old daughter. So, newlyweds, huh?

Hi-I am Linda from Iowa. I have been reading this thread for approximately 2 months and decided to take the plunge and join in. I have 2 children, DS-John almost 8, and DD-Meighan age 6. I am looking forward to my first official vacation in 10 years-in addition to my first cruise experience ever!! I don't have any questions yet-the DIS is a great place to obtain information, and I have learned lots. I wish everyone a great rest of the day!!

The car went in for service yesterday. When I picked it up last night, I noticed that the antanne Mickey had it's ears glued back on. The shop apparently saw Mickey needed fixing, and they did so....


Nice...

Two months?? Was it something we said?




Jump on in and have some fun!!

 

[RachelTori]

Paul! We're really looking forward to CC too! On our previous Magic cruise, we did make it into port, on the 3rd and final try; but the day was so windy that all the excursions were cancelled. Even with "nothing to do" it was GREAT!!



Linda! You could not have picked a better cruise line for your first cruise experience!!

Ang

Sure...if celebrating Kiki's birthday involves an appointment with my ob/gyn!!
and piano lessons.
and a trip to Graeters for ice cream....mmmmm

Stopped by the optometrist to see if my glasses were ready yet (I'm becoming blind as a bat and NEED my new glasses) They said "sure, we just need to check them in....have a seat." So I wait 15 minutes and another lady walks by and says "we're almost done checking your dh's glasses, should just be a few mintues...and, btw, yours weren't in yet."

DUH. Why would I want to take dh's home?

So I said "don't they need to fit him to make sure the ear pieces are bent right?"

"yeah"

"duh"

So I left, glassess-less.
