Sorry to hear aabout your mom..I hope its nothing..but a prayer and some pixie dust for her.
All those prayers and pixie dust from all over the US, England, and how can I forget Italia have done their magic on my son.
Simon was operated on yesterday afternoon and after 6 1/2 agonizing hours..the great Doctors gave us the news..THEY REMOVED IT ALL..SIMON'S DOING GREAT...WE EXPECT A FULL, SPEEDY RECOVERY !!
Within minutes of the surgery he was complaining of his arm hurting. go figure...they operate on his brain and his arm hurts !!
Today, less than 24 hours later, he was eating, talking, going to the bathroom , coloring and watching Spongebob !!

Again, My wife and I want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for all your prayers. We truly believe that apart from the skill of the surgery team, that God's hand was there protecting Simon.

Although I am not cruising with you anymore, i certainly hope you do not mind if I lurk ...I feel like you are all part of my DIS family and that you helped us deal with the last few days.

I am so happy that things went well!! Good luck with the rest of the recovery.

Tony, I am so thrilled to hear that Simon sailed through his surgery so well. Please do keep stopping by and letting us know how he is getting on. Really, I am completely over the moon to hear your GREAT news!

Kristen, so sorry to hear about your Mum, sending all the best positive thoughts for her and for the rest of you. Please keep us updated, I will be thinking of your family.


Weather here in the UK is predictably dull - the odd burst of sunshine but mostly cloudy with a bit of rain when I had my washing on the line! Off out for lunch with Isabelle (postponed from yesterday in a minute.

I am going to complete our ESTAs online tonight - for us UK residents these are needed to avoid having to have a full visa - we used to just fill in a form on the plane but now you need to complete an ESTA online at least 72 hours before we travel.

Please tell me I am not the only one who is getting ridiculously over excited about our trip!

Speak later,
Mel

Do you have anytime for a possible CT meet??

CT Cruisers-possible meet. We will be staying at the Doubletree outside of Bradley on Saturday August 8th. I'm not sure what time we're planning on heading up there, need to finish laundry and last minute packing, clean up (I hate coming home to clutter, there will be enough of that when we unpack). Is there someplace fun that we could meet later in the afternoon/evening?

On our last cruise there were a lot of families from Fairfield County so we met at the Norwalk Aquarium.

The sun is out this morning. It's a beautiful Friday here (although more rain is in the forecast for this afternoon).

Hope everyone is well...

Rough day emotionally here too::

My mom had breast cancer a while ago and now they have found something and she has to have some more tests. Please keep her in your prayers!!Thanks!!

Sorry to hear about your Mom - Thinking of you and your family.

Around the Airport there is Bradley Bowl, Chilis, CT Air Musuem, Friendles, and other places to eat. Let us know we are available.

I too am mostly a lurker, I love reading what you all write....
But with family members going through tough times, I feel the need to send prayers and good wishes. I'm sure I am not alone when I say that as someone reports an illness, you stop everything you do, and say a prayer, and continue to do so each day.
Tony, thanks for taking the time to give us an update, I have not stopped thinking about your son since you wrote about him.
And Kristen, best wishes for your mom, hope the news is good, will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
We are all VERY excited about the cruise, even though my boys are older, they are Disney fanatics and love DCL.
Looking forward to meeting everyone soon......
Chris
