Lisa the regulations for carry-on are as follows:



I would think something along that size or a little bigger.

Thanks Roger, I'm just wondering if I'm going to be able to jam my booze cooler through the scanner.

 

[MrsScooby]

how funny would it be if we all got on the cruise & felt too shy to talk face to face?

I was thinking that too
But then I figure as soon as someone insists that "they're innocent" or asks "where's the rum" or says "take what you can" that we''ll be able to laugh At least I hope

Welcome aboard. I'm sure most of the gibber gabber of our posts makes no sense...yet. Jump in, you'll be gibber gabbering soon.

Check out the first page of this thread for all of the important stuff.

WELCOME ABOARD
Glad to have you
Do you have a room number ? I have to go check and see if I'm still GTY

Check page 1 of the thread-Tom has put lots of great links and info there

 

[IngridRalph]

Our room is a GTY and we have early dining though we wanted late.

It's funny, most of us (myself included) have indicated we feel somewhat shy. If I'm in work, I'm running my mouth off. But, if I'm at a party where I don't know anyone, I can't think of a thing to say.

I really can't begin to imagine not feeling like everyone here is a life long friend.

Ingrid, sorry to tell you but the GTY room is already taken...by like 200 people !!

I checked and I'm still GTY too
Now why aren't they upgrading me to a cat. 4 and giving someone else my cat 6

Been busy around here. Yesterday my brother and his family flew down from Sacramento to celebrate my DFs 90th birthday. Took the kids out of school for the day so they could visit with their cousins.

Found out from my nephew that his family is going a short Mexican cruise and will be returning 8/15. They are planning to stay at our house that night or maybe the 16th. I mentioned that we are leaving for our vacation on the the 17th and that the 16th would probably not be a good night. So I guess that they are staying on the 15th. No sure how this will all play out for us coming to DL on the 16th. Maybe they will come too.

Lastly DW went to the School Board Meeting last night for the final vote on closing Austyn's elementary school. The board voted 3-2 to close our school. I have made a note of the 3 old ladies that voted to close our school and will make sure they are not elected the next time they are up for election. The biggest grip that we have is that the school they are moving us too are among the lowest in the district. Only 57 kids out of 500 can speak English and their API scores are really on the low side. We moved here 20 some odd years ago because of our neighborhood school. Our school is a National Blue ribbon school and last week won its 3rd Distinguished School award. Moving to the designated school is just not an option for Austyn. We will now have to start exploring our options as to where she will be going to school and when to move her.

Great picture Roger! Gosh, I need to call my Grandpa. He's 87.
Houseguests the night before TOAL I'm already freaking out about trying to leave the place inhabitable for our house/dog sitter.

The school situation stinks. I wish I had some sage advice, but I don't.

I agree with everyone else (well, Tom and M) -- you need to research surgery on the Internet like you need a hole in your head...

Yup, that's everyone!

yeah there's the catch with caffeine...Damned if you do...asleep if you don't.

Oh, sorry. Did you say something?

We are some of everyone.....

I figured since M stands for .... what was it.... wasn't moron... Magnificent? Magical? .... If I agreed with M the Magical Magnificent, can't be bad

Mulva.

As I recall I was also called "genius".

Well I agreed too, but since others already agreed I didn't feel like I had to agree again, but I will agree just to say that I agree. Agreed?

We have an accord.

We're relatively shy too, except for my DS! Although M would probably read this & think....What??? I practically ran her down hugging her when we met in WDW, but I just felt like I knew her so well. KWIM?

What??
I think I know what you mean. I'm not the "talk to random strangers" type, on vacation or in regular life. But you guys aren't strangers!

Received this information for the WB sailing

5:30/8:00pm PLAPLAPLAPLAPLA
5:45/8:15pm LAPLAPLAPLAPLAP
6:00/8:30pm APLAPLAPLAPLAPL


No information on the EB on anything yet, waiting not so patiently

The first one is fun to say: plah plah plah

This would mean that we would have both of our Formal nights in Parrot Cay.

Ick. We've lucked out with Lumieres for formal night in the past. PC just doesn't seem very formal.

Congrats again....just as I start to work out again, I get struck my another setback. Around 3:00 a.m. this morning I was awoken by the pain from another gout attack. I wish I knew what brought these on, but after having walked about three miles each day during the past week and a half, I now can barely walk around the house. (I was running 5 miles a day before these gout attacks started). I guess it'll be a while before I can try again. I am eating better and will do what is necessary to be at goal by the cruise!

Get well soon

All right, so I'm thinking I get a fat suit, and use duct tape to tape the bottles around my torso...

Good plan. Then I can reuse the fat clothes when we get off in FL - only without the fat suit underneath.

how funny would it be if we all got on the cruise & felt too shy to talk face to face?

And the first page was recently updated (and I didn't make the tastings for well behaved ladies!)

Mulva.

No problem Delores.

Yes, not to be confused with lap lap lap lap or apple apple apple apple....

lap lap lap, is that the mating call of the north american go-go bar patron?

 

[sk8ingmom]

Well, we might be well behaved before the tasting...

Won't be a problem for you, M was already prepared to schlep your dead carcass around anyway....

Thanks, Laura. I like margaritas.

Great trip report - Monica. Sounds like a good time was had by all.

Thanks for everyones input on the Olympus Camera. Sounds like we might go for that one.

Night all.

With all the interest in the Olympus I went & got one too... Should we have an Olympus meet on board?

For us OCP here is what the dining schedule would look like for a 6pm rotation. Excuse the port times, this is old and forgot to change them.



This would mean that we would have both of our Formal nights in Parrot Cay.

EWW....I don't like both formals being in PC. Would much rather have Pirate night in PC.

One thing to think about. On our 10-night holiday cruise, we had AP the first night but they did not do "the show" that night (e.g. the restaurant did not change colors). Our waiters told us our show dinner would be later in the week b/c not everyone eats in the mess the first night and they didn't want people to miss it. Not sure how they do this on the repos.

Same thing. We didn't have the show the first night.
