[GoofyontheHiSeas]

1 more hour and I'm out of here

See you all or as we say in Chicago see yous guys on Sunday

John

I am down to 2-1/2 hours but you have that 2 hour lead on time zones.

 

[blesidangl]

John, I want to have a beverage with you.



And I want to have a beverage with you.

Ok, just keep in touch. What is your Rm #? Well have a safe trip.

See you all soon.

Your friends,

 

[castoff]

You must mean:

Run dmc - You talk too much

or is that too recent?

Then you must mean

George Thorogood - You Talk Too Much

No? Perhaps this?

Bob Marley - You Talk Too Much

Oh, wait, is this the original song about Cheryl?

Joe Jones - You Talk Too Much

I don't like my hair color/cut much either. She didn't listen to me when I said it would be too light.

And as I was backing out of the driveway today, I hit the neighbors car. There is never a car there....well, there was one there once before and I hit that too.

They had to move it from their driveway for something. I saw it there all morning, but never made a mental note when I was leaving. Nothing too bad, but their bumped is plastic and it cracked it. I'll take care of it when we get back. Who knows...maybe they will get into a little fender-bender before then with someone else.

Myabe all the bad stuff is happening now so WE all can have a fantasic vacation?

I just got off the phone with DCL and they said the 50% deposit promotion will continue through our cruise!

Thanks Tracy, that's just what I needed to hear.

I thought I saw somewhere (Roger?) that there was a approx. time for going through the locks, so we could tell our friends and family when to watch for us? Did I make this up? I looked at the pirate zone but could not find anything...

[lotsofboys]

Ok..I am out the door..going to meet up with Crusin Mike and family for a Target run...and then on to dinner tonight with some fellow pirates!

Hope everyone is having a great day and trying to be stress free...

Between the two of you we should have some great pics tonight!

Hi Gang-

Just a quick drive-by post. Happy B'days & Anniversaries I missed.

Prayers & PD to all Pirates in need.

SAFE TRAVELS TO ALL


WECOME TO CALIFORNIA PIRATES


I'm running around doing errands & important stuff like my hair appointment & man-ped!!

No way can I ketchup!!

DH has spent so much time on his costume he hasn't even thought about what he's wearing the other 14 days!! I hope he packs better than he did when we went to England - he arrived in London only to find that he forgot underwear!! So his first venture in London was to buy underwear - he chose not to opt for "comando" sightseeing!"

We don't fly down to L.A. until Friday - then we'll repack at DD house as I sent a lot of stuff down w/her when she left here after her visit a cople of wees ago. Oh and the Bev Mo stop on Sat. And probably a Target stop 'cause it seems there's always some little thing that slipped my mind. I don't know how it happens w/all the lists I keep making!!

Ciao

Okee dokee, y'all convinced me! We changed our towncar ressies to MCO and grabbed the Crowne Plaza by the airport for $91 total w/all taxes and fees via Hotwire. Saturday it is!

That's great news! One less to worry about.

[Stepht5]

I can give him a doctors note stating he contracted Malaria in Panama.

1 more hour and I'm out of here

See you all or as we say in Chicago see yous guys on Sunday

John

It's y'all.

John, I want to have a beverage with you.

******************

And I want to have a beverage with you.

Peter..... is it because he puts up with me!!! ​

or you just want to have lots of bereages!!!

All our bags are packed, were ready to go!

Have had a few beverages already as I'm sure you can tell.

I want to dance with to. Hope John won't mind.

Peter, dh spends the entire cruise drinking the DOTD. He would love to have many rum beverages with whoever would like to drink!

Laura -- it looks like you and Cheryl have found a dancing partner!!!

Hey remember I met you and I thought you had nice hair. Can't be as bad as having dye stain all around my hairline. I have tried everything for 2 days to get this stuff off. I will be the one wearing a hat. Hope tomorrow is better for you.


I would be thrilled if my DD want's to get married at Castaway Cay. She will be 15 so I also have some time.

Have you tried baby oil? I am so sorry that has happened to you!

A CC wedding does sound devine...... Our dd's need a Priest and for it to be indoors (Catholics can't have a valid wedding outside -- and no, I don't know why! LOL!). I have already researched (we tried to talk our 25dd into getting married @ WDW, her now dh wouldn't. ) and I found a local Priest that will do weddings for Disney fanatics!!!!

Although...if Fr Mike likes us...maybe we will be able to convince him to do the wedding....here I am planning a wedding for a girl that doesn't even have a boyfriend!

You don't have to drag him around we just need him to save a chair at whatever pool you want to be at

He doesn't know yet. I put it in his small bag with the toothpaste, deoderant ect. Think he will check?


Beautiful pics !!! I love the flowers ! So unique. Your little one is a cutie.

You are too funny!!!

Thanks! She is as onery as she is cute! LOL!

 

[Stepht5]

When the NY Giants won the super bowl in 1986 I was in a Mexican restaurant dancing on the tables and on the bar. I remember knocking off Mexican ceramic art work off the walls while dancing and then being thrown out of the restaurant into the snow. I was 22 then.

Cheryl has found her match!!!

Y'all make me sound so tame... When the Dallas Stars won the Stanley Cup... I cried.

 

[castoff]

Drive by posting. Hope all is well with everyone - safe travels. Had a very trying last couple of days for trying to get over this virus. Have yet to pack and we leave in about six hours. Kids have all their stuff organized - so shouldn't be too bad. See everyone at DL or on the ship. Hurray - the wait is over.........

Hope you feel better soon.
( note to self don't hug Wendy ) I am the one who gets sick just knowing someone is sick.

Prayers are with your family!!!



You found it ...........it was the one by Joe Jones!!! You talk too much you worry me to death!!
How many other people can say they had a song written about them.

I am pretty sure there is a song or 2 with Tina in it. How about Tina Bo Dina?

With all of this talk about people dying -- I'm really NOT trying to make light of anyone dying -- I was telling dh about LaTanya's father dying and that she had to cancel her ressie.

He turned to me and said *Why*

me *Her father died and the funeral is on Sunday.*

dh *So. Is being there going to bring him back?*

me *No....*

dh *The only way I'm cancelling is if I'm dead.*

me*If your father or mother died you would still leave - before the funeral?*

dh *Yep. Neither one of them like funerals anyway. The only person that would be angry at me is my brother. So, who cares.*

I'm pretty sure he would still go if I DIED!

I understand the light side of it. Sometimes laughter is the best thing. I can't help but think how it really would put a damper on things. I lost my MIL while we were on the Magic in AUG 06. They could have gotten a hold of us on the ship but left a message on our cell phones instead. When we woke up in port we turned our phones on and got the news. It was not a pretty sight walking off the ship with tears running down our faces. Not the normal sad tears to leave, more I was hysterical. We NEVER turn our phones on anymore till will clear the port. I debated on booking this cruise because we will be on the same ship at the same time, this year will be the 2nd anniversary and it's still hard. Sorry to ramble, felt like sharing my story.

 

[micmse2003]

We run on Sunday too... 10am expected arrival at the port - for Alicia and the kids at least ... and myself with in-laws to follow about an hour later.

I hope they got it right nad have the RED CARPET out fer us!​

Not sure what time DCL transfers are picking us up but if I see her...I will make sure to keep her company.

 

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

Thanks Roger!

See you on Sunday!

We are looking forward to seeing you again Janelle

 

[Stepht5]

Yes,

Sorry accidentaly posted all this under my wifes name.

I'm sure she will be thrilled to know that...

 

[travelnfam]

We are looking forward to seeing you again Janelle

Same here!
Loking forward to seeing you all too!
What time will you be arriving at Port?

 

[castoff]

I don't have time for all the lyrics but you all remember this one.....


Tell Laura, I love her.....
Tell Laura, I need her......
Tell Laura not to cry......
My love for her.........

Will never die!


(However, if DH doesn't pack until Saturday because of these stapid poker tournaments, I'm going to kill him and then he can really sing this in death!)

OK - got to get of this darn forsaken thing, I have to go pick up DD's schedule, make a payment, go to Sam's Club and then go and drop in on my hairdresser to see if she can fit me in. I cancelled my workout appt today thank God but we shall see if I get anything accomplished.

As for my FE gifts, I finished them last night but now have to work on the 5-day. I know I keep telling myself - I can work on them on the cruise but you know - I tend to be a bit anal about somethings. And since I'm not getting any help from DH, I just plod along and get it done. I'm thinking up of all kinds of punishments being the wench I am.

Maybe I'll leave the aftershave behind? NAW - not good enough, maybe I'll spend all kinds of $$ on the furr kids.......NAW - already did that - he didn't blink an eye : ok - someone help me out here? Anyone?

Oh yeah - remember all the spot that my dog Isis freaked out at on Saturday? We walked by it again this time - DH wanted to see if she freaked out - against my better judgement - we walked by it and she freaded out again - not as bad but definitely a spot we need to avoid. Poor Baby! I think she had an accident - her tail was a bit wet.

Ok - off to St. Pauls to pick up schedule and sell books. Dang! This dog is snoring. I've heard her in the past but lordy! She's snoring! Its noon time!

Thanks for the laugh. I might just have to show DH this post to remind him how nice I really am.

Okay fellow repo cruises, I need opinions please! We're getting a little paranoid because we're schedule to land at 12:30...with the ship leaving at 4, that's not much leeway. Tony has double-booked us (I LOVE SW) so we can fly out either Sat. night or Sun. morning. It looks like we could get an airport hotel w/shuttle at a decent rate. So what would y'all do? I hate to abandon our pets for an extra day (a sitter is coming in but it will still be traumatic), but I'd also hate to miss the ship and be swimming to Cabo to catch up!

I would not chance it. If you can only get the Sunday flight well either way. Good Luck !

 

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

Same here!

What time will you be arriving at Port?

We are being picked up at 9:30 in Palos Verdes so we should be there about 10am.

 

[Caropooh]

Just got home from going to the Girl Scout office in Seattle. Picked up the badges we need for the girls doing the badge work!
Stopped at the Credit Union on the way home to get cash, including 1's for room service tips!
4 MORE SLEEPS!And actually Saturday night doesn't count since we are being picked up at 3:00AM!

 

[4fosterkids]

The Xanax is kicking in!

LOL

We run on Sunday too... 10am expected arrival at the port - for Alicia and the kids at least ... and myself with in-laws to follow about an hour later.

I hope they got it right nad have the RED CARPET out fer us!​

Here you go:

I am a little embarrassed to post at such a late date (since I feel like I abandoned this thread), but I am so excited that I decided to post anyways. My family leaves tomorrow and we will be spending 3 nights at the HOJO. I can't wait to run into fellow cruisers - I have a feeling that there will be plenty of us at the hotel. This will be our first visit to Disneyland so that adds to our excitement. I finished work yesterday and I spent the day packing and cleaning the house. I am almost all organized (except that I need to figure out where I am going to pack my dress and my DD's dress???). I also realized that I need to get some luggage tags. I can not wait to meet everyone.
Jennifer

Welcome! Better late then never...and you didn't miss THAT much over the last 18 months....LOL

while looking for my red carpet pic for Crash, I came across my DD doing a snow angel.....had to share it of course!
