Time for another round of the 7 question game...
1) What do you look forward to doing on our first day at SEA?
2) What have you signed up for (or are considering) among the various DIS diversions offerred here? IE, have you considered the Secret Mickey or Mickey Ice Cream Eating race?
3) Have you picked up your air fare yet? If so - when are ya coming into town?
4) Doing anything special or out of the ordinary for this sailing (anniversery - or ??? being marked)
5) What movies have you seen lately (or last) in the theater?
6) What was the last song played on your MP3 player?... orthat you recall listening to last?
7) What would you propose for the 7th question here? And if you spot someone elses' reply on this - try answering it! IE, you answer the last person's reply here - and YOU put down a 7th question of your own. Please be diplomatic - and feel free to skip backwards to another persons' 7th question if you like that one more!

Geee.... everyone knows how shy I am about quoting myself (wink)...
At any rate, ... here are my replies on this round...
1) I'm lookin forward to waking up with my nephews and nieces barging into our cabin - or the first few moments when they're all running about with SMILES and yelling with excitement over being on Mickey and Minnies' ship! It's gonna be their first Disney cruise. And thier parents will likelyhave the same (OMG!) experessions we had on our 1st DCL voyage. THAT is what I'm looking forward to... that and the sea breeze and warm sunshine as we roll through the waves on our way south.
2) I'm hosting the Ice cream race, so I'm on that one... and the SM, FE project, cabin crawl, PJ party (I am signed up - yes?), and I think I've missed something.... but I intend to join in as much as I can with the DIS gang. Just ... sadly, I'm sort of restricted with the shore excursions as I'm leading or nursing my group for those things more or less.
3) Like Roger (and others) we're local... so this Qdoes not aply with us. We are returning on the 2nd though. Anyone else jetting at 11AM out of Orlando? We might see ya at the airport!
4) We'll probably mark our 13th wedding anniversery - even though it's a tiny bit early. Plus my FIL will mark a birthday as well.
5) Just saw NIM... and planning to see IRONMAN and the new $400 million INDIANNA JONES movie in the next couple of weeks.
6) Nothing much changes with me sometimes... BOSTON... "More than a Feeling"
7) I'll answer a few fun sounding ones that come to mind first...
a) The drink I'd like now i I could have it - is a big super creamy thai ICED coffee.
b) If I won a lottery... what would I do?
1) SMALL $10K = Gee... I dunno since it's so small... I guess I'd take $3K and start private pilot lessons. Then I'm sure my spouse would go and confiscate the remaining $7 and head for Macy's.
2) BIG $10 KK = I'd pay my taxes first... then take $1 million to establish a permanent scholarship fund. What qualification it would serve/require I dunno yet. But it would probably center on families with incomes under $50,000 and kids with good grades who do an essay for consideration. I would have it administed by a family member panel initially. The remaining $4KK would add to our investment pool - and nothing much more would change about us... except maybe I'd start private pilot lessons.... and buy a light aircraft to go with it < wink >. Probably something well under $500,000 like a Cirrus SR20-GTS [image below] which starts at $369K. This plane carries pilot plus 3 passengers + some cargo 600 miles at 150 knts. So I guess this would actually leave 3.5 million for Alicia to confiscate.
3) Really BIG LOTTO win for 10 million pounds sterling.... Well, I'd pay my taxes 1st ... then if it really pays in pounds I would probably change a few more things as this leaves about $10million US after tax. I would up the scholarship fund to $2 million, and the aircraft purchase would step up to a small jet - the Cirrus Jet [pictured below] which should go for 1-1.3 million USD. Needless to say ... I'll have a lot of lessons and air time before I'll be ready to pilot that baby... and that's OK since this jet is not slated to deliver until 2010. It is widely considered to be the cheapest, slowest and lowest flying light jet likely to make it to market. It should still haul 7 people (no luggage) or 5 to 6 with some luggage 1000 miles at 300 knts. Not bad for what it is! I would still drive my same car though and live in the same house - most likely. Well... I think we might paint the house if I won the big lottery in pounds sterling. Lime green I think in honor of Andrews' original proposal of this Q.
And for my 7th question... I would ask the next respondant .... what's your favorite thing to day dream about!?
Edited in... oops... both of the last two answers would 1st establish a non-profit organization to administer a scholarship for needy kids. I'd fund it with $1M or $2M ... THEN I would pay income taxes, and buy an aircraft + flying lessons. Etc... etc...
