What makes it even better is DH & I got married at Castaway in 2004.Great, Magical memories for us.
Last night dh asked me if I thought Samantha (our 17dd!!!) would want to get married in CC or in WDW.


Hey Everyone,
We made it to California safely. Even Nicky survived, although I wasn't too sure he was going to make it after the second 3 & 1/2 hour flight. He was bouncing off the walls by the time we finally arrived.
We're at the Disneyland Hotel. Here's the view from our room:
Loved the pics! And I'm sure after the flight with 3 kids y'all deserved a drink!!! LOL!
With less than 48 hours to departure, I figure it was finally time to start packing. Mind you, I've been throwing stuff in a pile for the past week or so, but it was finally time to see if it fit.
Not even close.
Worse, it's not enough to fill the luggage - I have to take into account now the problem of coming home. Yes, some of what I'm bringing is "last use" disposable (one pair of shoes, and consumables), but I also have to allow for the fact that a certain amount of my cruise wardrobe will be stuff I buy on the cruise (I'm a sucker for T-Shirts, sweatshirts, etc - about 80% of my T-Shirts are Disney park or DCL wear).
And being an (all too) experienced traveler, I know that I'll inevitably bring too much anyway. So next came the pruning. A lot of pruning.
Hope all those in transit have safe trips.
That is us!!! I buy TONS of clothing items on the ship and at CC!!

My Father in Law has asked me to offer:
If anyone is interested in learning more about the Chinese healing techniques and holistic approaches related/associated - my FIL would like to offer courtesy treatment sessions and informal fact finding meetings on the ship. He's a retired chest surgeon who has practiced for decades in the greater Pittsburgh area - and now resides in Honolulu. Anyone so interested can PM me = and I'll keep you advised as to when they he will host meetings. he may lead Chinese style early morning exercise sessions too. He has been doing all this in Honolulu for many years.
I was expecting / thinking he might conduct his meetings in the promenade lounge and off the fantail on the secret verandah deck 7? Here's a photo below with Sam on the far right: If you're interested and spot him on the ship - just stop him and ask about his session plans:
