8/10/2008 - Mexican Party Cruise - Who's Here??

[CustardTart]

That's cute! Was that gradysmommy? There appear to be two people who make and list them regularly on ebay. I think I prefer hers though. I was thinking I should ask her what she can do. I like the western one she has on ebay now, but I was thinking of something a little more "generic". I love the Tinkerbell one, but I don't think that will please my boys much.

D'Anne

Yes - t'was she!!! She also kindly personalised it with 'The Taylor Family' at the top...

Hi all! Just stopping by to see how everyone is doing...It's Friday! However I will be spending the weekend at dance recital shows.. Then after recital the next 2 weeks are practice, practice, practice because we then go to San Antonio fo National Competition. I will be very very ready for meet and greet in the Bar by the time it gets here!!

Are there any other 11 year olds going? Let me know...Is it 11-13 in the age group? I am not sure....

From what I have read it is 11-13 year olds (the old groupings were 10-12). Alas I have a nine year old (as does Michpoit) but my daughter will be just a few weeks away from her 10th birthday. Though they won't be together in the clubs, they sure can meet up at the meet and get to know one another since they'll likely see each other around the ship.

I will have the cruisemate list to all who participated either later tonight or tomorrow. For those who didn't send an email address with their information, I will simply PM it.

Hi Jeff! We have had yet another busy week of school here. My son had 7 tests this week. Sam loved the pictures of Lizzie. She will write back this weekend.

You are sooo brave!!! I may be wrong, but the words 'family' and 'vacation' aren't necessarily ones that go together... Is it wrong that I especially like the idea of you drinking yer own bottle of vino!!! More wine for the lady in the corner... Looking forward to meeting you, Jami...

 

[jd99]

Happy Saturday Mexico cruisemates. One day closer to our cruise!!!!!!

 

[CustardTart]

Not too long now!!! In 7 weeks time we'll be sipping champagne and kicking back on the 11 hour flight across the Atlantic and the USA...

 

[CAmom2boys]

Yes, thank you!!!

It won't be long now...looking forward to meeting you all.

I know that it is brave...and I try and try and it just never seems to work out! It may be time for me to throw in the towel!
and is it wrong that you like me drinkin me own bottle o' vino???? Heck No!!! Let's share a bottle though... it will be cheaper!!!

 

[Dizney73]

I want to cruise TODAY!!!!! I wanna go NOW!!!!!

Just a bit of whining!
P.S. I do like cheese with my whine!!!

Happy Birthday Karen!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN!!

 

[ayumac]

Hey, I just woke up from a loooong nap myself. Actually, I have been acting as a home school teacher since summer break has started last monday and found out, I am quite good at it . Sticker chart REALLY works well.

Anyway,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAREN!!

Thanks so much Jeff, for sending a list of cruisemates and also, I really appreciate your comment about the kids' clubs. I am not counting on my DD4 to be there forever, but I will take your advice and we will try to aim at the time slots when they offer activities. My DS6 will love it there WSE, I am positive.

I will be reading what I have missed last week and will be back .

My shopping journal #11:
Bought Iron Horse Sparkling Wine at Costco for $28 ($46 on board).

Happy 1 month & 18 days to go day!!
