It's funny that we are already thinking about FE gifts for a cruise almost 2 years away

Heck - some of us are trying to get a list going already!

Have her party on the ship - problem solved!!! You can borrow Andrew's verandah one afternoon.

Heck, better yet, Have Andrew get order her a Palo's Pizza Party!

I think I have failed to mention that I like to cause trouble!

Barb? You aren't related to Julie by any chance are you? No worries - you'll fit right in.

Barb - meet Julie, Julie you trainer her well!

Some of my greatest memories are of seeing Julie and Andrew volley back and forth. It provided months of entertainment.

Andrew - your such a good sport!

I can honestly say I don't know anyone on this thread. BUT, that is changing quickly.

eeyorelvr10 -

1. LOL If your going to loose weight, you might as well look at the bright side of life...right!?

2. I'm a VERY amateur photographer. I just love to take pics and see the world from a different view. I'm working on getting a new computer program to alter/fix/make better...my photos. I have a Nikon D70. I'm looking to get another chip as 900 pics just aren't going to be enough for this trip. What type of camera do you have?

3. Thanks for the ideas on the anniversary. I saw the vow renewal, but
wasn't sure I wanted to do this. There is a romantic package, but I'm thinking that we'll pass on this too and make plans at the spa... on our own. I love the party on the deck idea. July 27 is the date...more details later.

Love the FE idea too. I know someone on the site makes them...Do you know if she still does this or has a pattern to make my own?

I have to say, that I am partial to the viking ship with mickey on it.

Have a good night everyone.

OH Shop Talk!

Well, I currently have a Canon 30D (My first digital camera) and then I now have a 40D. I have always loved photography ever since I took a class as a freshman in high school some 24 1/2 yrs ago. It wasn't until after I came back from the 2007 Med Cruise that I finally allowed by DH to talk me into a "good" camera and lens so that is part of the reason that I am tagging along with DD's Spring Break Europe Trip. They are going to visit the Sistene Chapel again as well as going into the Coliseum which I did not go on. THe Sistene Chapel won over that. I did however get a few pictures with my conventional lenses.

So, BTW - you will all realize that I tend to get sidetracked very easily - I finally took the plunge and invested in some decent Canon lenses. Prior - I stuck to Tamron lenses. There is absolutely nothing wrong with them but after finally admitting that this was more than just a hobby to me, I decided I owed myself a decent lens. So for Christmas, DH got me the 24-105 Image Stablized Ultrasonic lens which I absolutely adore. He also got me a 70-200 IS Ultrasonic lens. Funny thing happened when I went to return it. I allowed the guy to talk me into keeping it when I explained that I didn't really need it because I had a 300. Well, he then showed me the newest toy - the 100-400 IS Ultrasonic MEGA lens. So, not only did I not return the 2nd lens but I ended up walking out with the mega lens too. Now, I do not travel lite. Those babies are my life and they are as well protected as my jewelry. I would be hard pressed to say this in front of my DH, but if I lost my rings - I'd be upset - not heartbroken. If I lost my lenses - I'd commit suicide. Those babies are my tickets to traveling. DH knows that I must take pictures of new places in order to do them justice.

So, yes, I am a camera hog and just to let you know, I ended up taking just a bit over 10,000 images on the Med cruise. I believe in Pompeii I took aver 1500 images alone. The Vatican tour - I took over 1800. Many repeats as I had conventional lenses but they worked. I even got a fairly decent shot of the Sistene Chapel ceiling. So now, I'm excited to go back and shoot it again with my digital slow shutter lenses.

BTW, - you'll all know me when you see me - I'll be the lady with the big old honking lenses. I'll be stooped over from the weight but that be me - they are like an outgrowth of my body - an extra appendage. However, good luck getting them out of me, I am still trying to upload some shots of the Panama Canal to our sight. I am not quite as diligent about posting them tho.

Sorry, - I warned you - you mention cameras and I can go on for hours!

So is cruising on 7/18 with DCL going to be a new tradition with you?!?
We also looked at that cruise and decided to go with a 4 day in June along with a few days at WDW since we will have our AP's.

We both like to celebrate our birthdays' in a special way!

I thought of the less space issue, but the verandah won out. Besides, i don't think we'll have the 10 suitcases like we had on the last cruise! At least not with international flights. We'll have to get creative with our packing.

Just remember the rule of thumb. If you can't wear it more than 3 times, take it out.

I'm booked

LaTanya from our August cruise? I hope nothing goes wrong on this one for you! We shall finally get to meet!

 

[eeyorelvr10]

AW! That explains the rushing out of here and revving of my son's engine. Oh well, - CONGRATS PHILLIES!

I to see grown men in a uniform act like children. Hard to be upset at their enthusiasm. CONGRATS!

As I said, I'm a Dodger fan of old - I haven't actually followed them since about '88 but if they're on the TV - I will root.


Now, can we get on about more important stuff - like planning for this cruise?

Well, sorry, Laura, but it's been quite a World Series drought around here.........back in the days of Tommy Lasorda (sp?)...........you guys had quite a run at it!

I just have to say, that my dad, Bill's birthday was today, so for us to move on to the WS, certainly made his day! He's 72 BTW!

I will stop talking about it now, I promise............

Hey everyone, Laura's a really nice person, she's been misrepresenting herself on this thread, she's fun, and actually very quiet while cruising.........am I right???

 

[jlawall]

Ok insomniac attack tonight.........where is Izzi???

 

[Caropooh]

I really like it as our logo too! It's different than what you normally see and I think that's why I like it!

Laura, you are beginning to sound like Crash with the camera talk!
You know, you are one of the MANY people that I never got to meet on the repo! DH met lots of people, but not me. I'm going to have to come out of my shell!

 

[Friend_of_Piglet]

Night Sooz! At least now the booking monster won't keep many of us up.

The bad news? For the next year and a half - you've got others to do that for you.

BTW, did we meet on the EB? I know the name is familiar but can't place a face?


Which reminds me, we are going to have to post pictures for those that haven't meet - I know that Sallie posted a picture but anyone else?

Chances are we saw eachother somewhere on board ship on the EB, but as I said in an earlier post... I'm really shy and only introduced myself to a couple people.

 

[jlawall]

Still no Iz?

 

[eeyorelvr10]

OH I was just kidding - I'm happy for you! They deserved it - grit will win and should win if the other team allows them to come from behind. So I'm really happy. Has it been decided who they will be playing? You can tell I was so totally into baseball huh?

And yes - JoAnn is right - I do tend to be a bit quiet on a cruise - especially one that tends to be very port intensive like I think these might be. However, I love the last two sea days. That will be a blessing.

Ok insomniac attack tonight.........where is Izzi???

Your turn, I was actually contemplating getting to bed "early" for once.

I really like it as our logo too! It's different than what you normally see and I think that's why I like it!

I know but believe it or not - I'm not that bad - I just surface talk.

And believe it or not - I too am very shy. I like to be on the fringes of things and you will find that I do a lot of talking on the boards but get especially tongue tied in person. I just took the advice of a friend on the DIS and "just jumped in." After all, no one here really knows me (OK well I can't really say that anymore ) and if I just act a bit outgoing maybe I'll make some friends. So that has been my motto. Be advised though - I do sometimes have a temper which I will try not to show in front of people. But you know - being a Leo :lion: its sometimes comes out - I'm much better on vacation though!

Chances are we saw each other somewhere on board ship on the EB, but as I said in an earlier post... I'm really shy and only introduced myself to a couple people.

Yes, I can usually "spot" a face I've travelled with but names? Those I'm not so good with - which reminds me..........although many of us have sailed before, can I make a suggestion?

Can those of us that are new or don't have it - maybe include our names - real time names that is - in either our signature or at the bottom of a post? This would greatly help this old ladies memory? What you all think?


Until we get a website up and running and maybe with pictures posted. That would be a blessing for me. Sound like an idea?

Still no Iz?

She usually shows up after midnight. Want to hazard a guess how I know that?

Wow its only about 11:30 - that's early for me!

 

[jlawall]

Ok, I give up, night, night!!

Sorry Joann I was there I was just ketchin' up with all the stuff that was posted after I'd gone to bed. It's amazing how much you guy yap once I've gone to bed, mind you I did have an early night yesterday as I was soooo tired.

 

[Disneynutinlondon]

You haven't gone yet !!!!!! I can see your light is on
