Duh... Silly me! I thought it like winning the lottery or something else. Well, I guess it is... if you win the lottery, you can afford the upgrade!

--Samantha

HA!! I win the lottery and I am going to start making offers on on of the big suites!! I'll do that 'new money' thing and throw it around to show off!!! Anyone want to play lottery with me??

 

[DBCS]

How can we post are information for the May 27th cruise such as Names, Room Numbers ETC....... and get those wonderful buttons.... DOUBLE DIP what a great name for the cruise.

Welcome!!! It is a great group!!

I think there may enough of us late comers now to start lobbying for a 2nd order on the t-shirts!!! Anyone???

Yup, I think so. And I think Pam and/or Maria will choke you! I'm sure they'd be more than willing to email you whatever graphics were used and you could find someone to run that second printing. But, I'm guessing here, Pam and Maria are DONE making shirts. Am I right, girls?

 

[DBCS]

With the addition of Lunsusie, we now have 56 people on the late dining.

I am now officially "closing" late dinner seating. I'm not pushing our luck by contacting DCL again.

IF anyone wants to be added at this point, I will contact them the week before the cruise...but there will be no guarantees.
Sorry.

We are on late dining, but I don't know what you are talking about???? Did I miss something when i read though all one million posts when I joined the group??? yea... right....

 

[DBCS]

Don't tell me that.........Kelly turns 11 on May 22!

I was so thinking she was going to get easier any day!

Fran

11 was nothing.... 13 is a total pain... boys!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!

But i do remember my Mom telling me there was a point when i got really easy to deal with and we became best friends.... I was 25!! Think we can all make it?

I have been shooting with a D100 since it came out. I have 2 "Pro" lenses the 70-200 AFS f/2.8 telephoto, and the 17-35 AFS f/2.8. My "normal" lens is a 35-85 AFS f3.5-4? I also have a 50 f/1.8 for low light stuff.

The Houston marathone is fun --- I will typically take 6-7000 images in 6 hours. I have taken a bit of a break while in school, but I have shot part-time professionally -- mainly location, family photos (on the beach, at the park, at home, etc). For awhile I was working for another photographer shooting weddings -- she would take the formals at the church and I would finish up at the reception. I also have a friend who is a industrial photographer. Once I got to go out on a bunkering barge that was refueling onw of the Princess line cruise ships in Houston. He also had me out on a ledge on a 40 story building in Houston at 5:00 one morning!

Yes I would like to upgrade. I think a D2X would be nice to take the group photo with!

I LIKE the way you think!!!

One of the reasons I got the D200 is that it's sooo close to the D2X in a lot of ways but much more affordable for me! So far, so good.

I'd like to check out that 70-200mm lens!! The reviews and discussions on that one makes it sound REALLY nice!! Fast too!

 

[tinksdad]

If you haven't heard of it, I HIGHLY recommend Thom Hogan's Nikon Camera Guides. He just released one for the D200 - It takes the manual and expands on it based on Thom's experiance and extensive hands-on playing with the camera.

www.bythom.com

Has it been released yet? I was checking out his site a couple of months ago and it was still a "work in progress".

Does sound good though. Have you seen it, or do you have some of his previous work?

Where are the docs & nurses & parents? We've covered the peein', poopin' & pukin'. So, I've got another unpleasant topic ... can children get hemorrhoids? Waiting for the on-call nurse to call back but haven't heard anything yet.

One of my goals is to see a movie on board....Other than the one day it runs in the theatre....I'm up for:


Narnia and the Wild - must check out the others...Naria will be cool under the stars at night. I bet the Wild plays in the theatres - is it the newest?

This from someone who has not been to a move since the last HP.

Irene, most of the movies are new to us. We don't go to the movies very often ... just cost to darn much. Last family movie we saw was Curious George ... I know ... not Disney.

This is going to be a fun cruise with all the tweens and there crocodile tears!!!

You forgot to mention the teens....

SLEEPING IN THE HALLS!!!
And then there is all that stuff we parents will never know about...

Someone pour the wine!!!

 

[CajunGirl2]

It should be time ...

YESSSS .... A T.O.P.

You KNOW where is leading.........


Don't push so hard!!

 

[DBCS]

Oh yes, and Big Ugly teeth as well. Some have shiney heads.....

You two are cracking me up!

 

[ohiominnie]

Whew. Good thing my kids are "small." What kinda person are you trying to give away someone else's kids!??!?!?!

 

[DBCS]

We took the kids and headed down to Galveston and the new Schlitterbahn waterpark for the day. It was a lot of fun - until I was coerced into riding down one of the tube slides...One slide is plenty for me - the lazy river is more my speed...Spent the rest of the day parked in a lounge chair sleeping, reading, or (unofficially) assisting the lifeguards with monitoring the wave pool, or assessing guard coverage and placement... Hazzard of my occupation, I guess - I guess I can't go off duty around water....

Hey we are big 'bahners.... how does the new one compare? We keep saying we are going every year and just end up at the hyatt in San Antonio and driving back and forth... I have heard it is really nice, but not as big??? Fun stuff?

So what's for dinner tonight? We're having Trader Joe's menu. TJ shrimp stuffed wild salmon rolls, mushroom risotto, and asparagus roasted with truffle oil, almonds and balsamic vinegar. OK, the last one is my creation. Sipping a glass of Italian red while it's cooking. And it only took me twenty minutes to put it together! I love Trader Joe's.

 

[ohiominnie]

So what's for dinner tonight?

We had the regular "dad's on call" dinner.....crepes. easy to make. kids will eat them. virtually no clean up.

Hey hon, Armyfan just asked what kind of camera you have. All I know is, it's the latest and greatest Nikon SLR. Boys and their toys...

Between Kevin and Stacey, I may never have to carry a camera again. Well, maybe on family trips, if I want any pictures with PEOPLE in them.

Sad, but true....seems like the closest I get to "people" these days is the dog!
