....guys, i thought maybe doing a "refresher post" so
everyone can see "me" better?
..we have no rooms assignments. however, we are supposed to
have 2 rooms. our plans on the 31st were as followed: we already
had a request....thru our dreams girl. then on the 31st, i was
trying for cat. 9, and never made it. so it came down to our dreams'
unlimited girl...who was able to scored!
. so we have placed
a request on the aft, 7deck and 2 rooms together. however, our sons
are old enough to be themselves...it is not uncommon for us to seldom
see them unless we demand it. though they will be in their early 20's
@ the time of this cruise .."stunky teens" is a very accurate description
except keeping their junkie cars clean.
while iam doing all of the postings..alot of the times iam sharing with my
lil'miss cutie. nor am i, in possession of computer skills....though we have
one since early..90's, it has been our kids..."toy". we "dreamed" of
dcl since
the 80's...but were weary of the big red boat thingy. however, my wife
have done all our cruises since 99. [ iam just now trying to figure what
the heck goings on]. of course, there's one more of us...our lil'
.
ok, we have done both early and late...dining, based on our current needs,
we chose late. when we do a cruise, we try to get everyone input in.
our first cruise had no plans...but in alot ways , it had many special moments.
therefore, we don't planned every day on an exact schedule. last cruise,
i really enjoyed wandering & visiting others all over the ship...using my
camera as a front....some even showed us their rooms...which was fun. *i
had no idea who this capt. crash dude was...but it was very self evident, he
was very nice and helpful to others....and totally
his wife/family.
you could tell..she tolerated his antics with lots of
. this made
sense to me.
"people watching"....i had discoverd these boards a couple of years......
but it was hard to "see" who was what...so i was really paying attention
to those on the cruise boards...as we have had some weirdo experiences
on our cruises. based on that, is why i thought i give it a whirl here. i
believe the best of the best...is here.
& then there are a few..like me. [ if i was to chose an animal..porcupine
would described me to a "tee"] yes! i like sneaking in references of what
others talking about...for fun. i also "see" alot of animal types here.
then there are the truly teddy bears..types, like mr.V...i wish i was more
like him, but atlas...my needles get in the way. * my saving grace,
was to have been blessed with finding
from a true
. though
she does possess a few ...pointers ...my guess, for balance? i mentioned,
this, cos i leaned toward interacting ...with anyone...but i truly enjoy
meeting those seeking, sharing and respecting "individuality".
culture, and experiences ..are facets that i like listening to. what i also
see here, are strong family bonds and support. and i really happy to see
others taking active roles in their community structure...sometimes my
strong feelings will come out in a heavy presentation..sorry. this is the
way i live life..and my work is also ...in this very area. so daily, i running
into alot of the things that are popping up here...as to not mislead, iam
no expert, just expressing the input i see working.
..but being so cemented by aging, is also limiting to those sharing
similarties...however, i like hearing everyone feelings and their
expectations for this cruise. i like hearing families backround and what
each feels are important..cos we are doing the same things. more than
anything, it is making this cruise more special ,just realizing how many
fascinating people that will be on it. all i did before was let my wife
set things up, and went with her...well, i told you i was lazy.
* so what i 've been posting, is
, a reflection of what you
can expect..hopefully not anything,, to shocking.
We were actually visiting aunt in nuring home. So nice out we did some yard work when we came home. It got up to 60 today. 
DH (Mike) is out of the hospital. All tests came back fine & he is only required to take a baby aspirin a day. He keeps yelling at me to stop treating him like an invalid.
He wants to hit the road & try to get beyond NJ before the storms start to hit. I thank you all for your kind words & support! Have a great week everyone!!!
I have one page done from my first crusie two years ago.
I finally got DH to start reading a little on this thread. I keep telling him about everyone on the board. Don't be surprised if I get him to post!!!
