I'm glad for you! If I can't go on another vacation, glad that someone else can.
I put in my vacation request for Dec 22 & 23 and Jan 2, so looks like I'll get another 2 weeks off this year!
Okay so I have booked the Disneyland Hotel for the nights of 12th ,13th and 14th , So Saturday the 14th we will make the Date for the DIS meet , now we always go to Disneyland in March to celebrate our Birthdays , and I think Stace does too , so we hope that all that can will join us for the Pirates Reunion and also could be Future Cruisers meet as by then I am sure we will all probably be booked on other cruises after Oct 7th , Speaking of which
It does look like DCL is going to the Baltic so our plan is that we will do the last Baltic cruise and then do the Repo back to Port Canaveral , I am hoping that on the Repo that stops will include Ireland , England and France .. If they do we are so doing back 2 back ....I hope that many of you will be on one of these 2 cruises as I enjoyed many of your guy's company and look forward to seeing you all again ......
So , What say You !!!!
TAKE WHAT YOU CAN !!!!!
Thanks...although the thought of packing another suitcase makes me a little sick to my stomach at the moment
Where are you going on your vacation?
Whew! Okay, I may not be totally unpacked yet, but I just finished uploading all my pictures! Well, maybe only 99% of my pics - I left out a few that were horribly fuzzy (or incriminating).
I have to say now that I'm really sorry I didn't try harder to keep up with the thread and post more before the cruise. Or at least come to chat every once in awhile. This was the most endearing and entertaining group of people and there wasn't enough time in 15 days to meet you all. The small percentage of you that I did meet were wonderful and I hope to see you all again someday on our reunion cruise!
Monica - I can TOTALLY relate. I shouldn't even be thinking about a reunion cruise at this point because I'm supposed to be job hunting as well. Granted, I left my job willingly (jumping for joy, I might add) to take a little time off before the TOAL, but the bank account is dwindling fast and I don't want to come back from Neverland. I keep clapping for Tinkerbell to come, but it hasn't worked yet. And since I've finished procrastinating with the pictures I have no choice but to start the search. Yuck, growing up is not fun.
Oh wait, wasn't I adopted by 2 different families on this trip? Deb... Roger... Was that just for fun or do either of you have an extra bedroom?
Although something tells me even if I was to move to a new family I still wouldn't have a stateroom host and 24 hour room service. Rats. On to Monster.com next...
In all seriousness (if that's possible), I was apprehensive about going on such a long trip "by myself" (because I intended to find a roommate 18 months ago) but this group of Pirates truly made this a TOAL that I will never forget. Thanks for everything!!

I might even have a job for you if you make it out this way. The girls really enjoyed having a big sister for 2 weeks. Good luck with the job hunt 
Well here is a Banner for the Thread your going to start Monica
We dropped the POC one in there for her....she's very welcome. And please tell her congratulations on the Blue Ribbon!!!
Fellow Pirates, I haven't yet posted since we returned from this magical TOAL. I know that I don't post often and I know that I was fortunate to only meet a handful of you while onboard, but I wanted to thank all those who helped contribute to my families enjoyment of this cruise. This is the first time we have ever participated in the FE gifts, and my kids loved checking to see what goodies were waiting each time we returned to our room! I have also really enjoyed looking at everyone's photos on the photo-sharing website. Thanks so much for sharing!
Now, I hate to be a downer, but if anyone could spare some good thoughts and prayers for us, it would be greatly appreciated. We are planning to evacuate within the hour from Hurricane Ike. We live in SE Houston, and right now things are looking pretty grim for us. I'm not taking any chances, and I don't want my kids to have to experience this hurricane up close so we're planning to head out to either San Antonio or Dallas. The evacuation scares me almost as much as the hurricane. We evacuated to San Antonio three years ago from Rita, and a normally 5 hour drive took us 16 hours, many of those without the a/c in the car running due to the possibility of running out of gas and being stranded on the side of the road (which did happen to many people). Anyways, I hate to bring my worries to the board, but it helps a little to talk about it. I've been trying to be brave for my kids, but it hasn't been real easy. My DS is 10 and my DD is 8 and they're old enough to understand that when we leave, we don't know if we'll have a house to come home to.
Think good thoughts for us!
Kim
Thank you Deanna. At least she portrays that when she is away from home
Cherie wants everyone to be our neighbors
Cherie is so crafty .........she could teach me so much. I am still impressed with your FE extenders.
Oops! At least one of those would be me. I still have not convinced Bill to drop everything and download all the pictures. I will work on that next.
Bill has had a few pressing isues waiting for him when we got back.
He is Pres of our HOA. We have a High School right across our street from our subdivision. Since they are doing construction, the kid are parking in our neighborhood. Since we are a fenced neighborhood, they are jumping the 8 foot fence to get to the street and school. The neighbors are getting all upset and one of the cars has a shot gun in their back seat. This is Texas after all and it is not concealed so legal but for Pete's sake! WTH would a HS student need a shotgun in the back of a Firebird for God's sake? Idiots!
Post on the thread...I can't wait to see it. Miss you too Cheryl!
I sometimes laugh out loud when I think of the fun times we all shared. I keep seeing you whip your hairpiece off.....Oh man, you are hysterical!!!!!

Guess I need to save it to my hard drive and if I need to call him in the future, just play that.
I would love to your neighbor!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to see the carpet angels!!!
Oh yes......I will know as the poodle lady forever.
