8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC #15 /Life After the PC

[magiroux]

Debi, hope everything goes OK.... You have certainly had a challenging winter.

On another note , those of you who met my DH knew he was battling brain cancer. He had an operation in 2004 and was back on Chemo last year. We agonized about whether he was well enough to take the trip but he wouldn't miss it for anything. Some of you were aware he lost that fight Jan 21. I want to thank all of our friends who made the TOAL truly that. Rich was so grateful he got to meet many of you and I have many happy pictures and videos to cherish. He loved them so much, he even had me put them on his desktop so he could watch them all the time. Thanks Guys.. Thank You to those of you with all your kind thoughts and support. It really meant so much. We are still getting over the shock of the suddenness of it but time does seem to heal. I am looking forward to seeing those of you coming to Orlando this summer.

Oh, Arlene....I am so sad to hear of Rich's passing. My deepest condolences to you and your family.......

Arlene, keep looking for those money trees to send Cheryl for her farm. I want to retire early.

I can't figure out what everyone sees in this farm thing... I find it sorta boring.

Has anyone else noticed that this thread pretty much died now that so many are on Facebook?

Hi all,
we're just back from 10 days at WDW (Con & ALK). Susan's little sister got married at the Wedding Pavaillion (Sarah was the flower girl), with reception at the GF. Spent one day at the Kennedy Space center.



M&M showed up for dancing and cake cutting:



And Wishes was spectacular as ever:

The easiest way is to search for "PC Pirates 2008" . A lot of us have joined this group, so you can go through the members list and "friend" us. From there, we'll all probably stalk you! Have fun.

Thanks Mike.

Hi all
I have not been able to follow many threads lately due to "life". I hope today finds you all well and happy. Seeing this thread in my subscriptions always brings a smile to my face and very happy TOAL memories.
I have been on Facebook for a while with alot of old high school and childhood friends, so I'm thrilled to see many of you have started up over there too.
Arlene, my prayers to you and your family for your loss. I'm so glad you have wonderful memories.

Hi Jill! Nice to see you on here. I was just thinking of you and your family the other day when I watched my slideshow from the TOAl for the umpteenth time. Hope you are all doing well.

Oh, Arlene, I am so sorry to hear this. I haven't been on the DIS in so long, but found myself with an extra hour this morning.

My prayers are with you. How wonderful that you and Rich got to enjoy the TOAL. I hope that this part of your life journey is not too unbearable.

Just a quick note.....I'm Home!!! I did have another small blockage,so he put in another stent. Had to spend the night(never get any rest in a hospital ) and I was discharged at noon today. Have been taking it easy all day and just resting in the bed with Kiki. Kitties can be very comforting when you don't feel well.

I will be back to work by Monday. I want to thank you all for your sweet thoughts and prayers,it helps to know that I have so many wonderful,caring friends.

Speedy recovery Deb

Thanks! I've been scrapbooking the cruise lately and everybody LOVES to relive every picture.
The family is good...Kallie is busy with cheer and a wizard of oz play, Parker is playing basketball, Beau is heading into touring season for drumline with Pulse percussion and Jordan & Jill are less then 100 days from the wedding, so they are busy with planning. I fit both jobs in there somehow, too...LOL
How about you guys?

It truly was a TOAL.

Hi Lisa. Thanks. I came to the realization, this is the first time I am living alone. I'm not very good company to myself. At least the dog is starting to come around. He was never my puppy so it is hard for him to accept me. Coordinating the kids to come walk him in the afternoon is more stressful than I thought.So my Sunday lunch hour,I go home to spend a few minutes with him. He can't cross his legs for 12 hours.

Rich was a tremendous Yankee fan, in fact we announced our engagement at a Yankee game 40 yrs ago Aug. So when we were making the final arrangements the kids were practically hysterical when they saw a Yankees Urn. The decision was made. He went out wearing the Championship cap and pin and is sitting in his office still spying on the neighbors. Some things never change. Sometimes we need a bit of levity to get thru the day............

Looking forward to seeing everyone in August.

Debi glad everything worked out.

Thanks for posting this Arlene. We've booked the JUL04 Eastern, so will be heading down around June 30. Just starting to look into airfare.

Has anyone flown Air Tran? How solvent are they? I don't know much about them - so a little leary when they are the cheapest ones going. Will probably end up with Alaska, Delta or Continental.

Hi Wendy!

We flew AirTran last week. We went to WDW for an impromptu buy 4 get 7 deal. I had no problems w Airtran. They are based out of Orlando. According to the DIS Transportation boards, they seem to have a reputation of altering the times of their flights, but we had no issues.

Flights to Orlando (from NYC) last week were $600rt (since the NY schools have off for the whole week) so we took Airtran out of Baltimore for $150rt (I a sucker for a bargain).

Stay well,
Sil
