Hope to find the answers this evening (got work this morning to ketchup on)

Does Sil ever make it out of NY to reach the boat on time?

Does Jack ever make it back to NY?

Does the fog ever lift at Kennedy?

Do both of them ever fly Jet Blue again?


(These are the pirates of our lives......

Good Monday morning everyone,

Well it's off to school for the start of another year. I'm not ready for my summer to be over, but the good thing is that I'm that much closer to graduation. This is my last year of actual classes, so I'm looking forward to getting them over.

I enjoyed being able to (mostly) keep up with the thread this summer. I hope to try to keep up with it during school too. I'll definitely be following the rest of the virtual cruise, and will be daydreaming about where we'll be next year while sitting in class!

I somehow lost this quote in my earlier post. Anyway, Andy is it true? Is Verandahgram really planning on getting married? If so tell Vy I said congrats!!!

Nothing set in stone just yet, but they have been talking about it.........

Morning

Beautiful day here.

Just a reminder to all of those planning to show up at the Mini Meet Monday Sept 3rd. It is at the Earl of Sandwich at Downtown Disney. DH and I will be there around 2 to try to hold some tables. Generally they are not too busy at that time. Hope to see everyone........

You do know that that is valid grounds for a divorce in 49 states?
I would thump my husband if he took my beloved Dyson outside.
I think 2 of the best inventions on the 21st century are the Magic Eraser and the Dyson. Could not live without either one of them.

Well...

... I'm all for avoiding "messy divorce" proceedings - in fact, I'm not fishing for ANY trouble at all! So, I'll just have to keep that thought in mind the next time Ineed to do any Vac'n outside. Or at least I'll ensure there are no witnesses and... clean up any evidence!

Thanks for the pics of the DLH. We were seriously think the GC because we'd like a balcony, but after seeing the pics of the pool I'm not so sure. I guess it will depend on how bad the points are.

Points at the GC are 10-15 more a night than the DLH. You don't have balconies at the DLH, but you do have sliding doors with a fence & can pull up chairs next to them. Obviously your choice, but having done both, I'd much rather go to the DLH.

Thanks for all the good thoughts on the job front. I got a call yesterday to say that I'm the office manager's first choice for the job, but I still need to go through the rest of the interview process (2 principal architects). Keep up the positive thoughts & I'll post the results.

Tom, it looks you are having WAY too much fun with the fortune cookies. Thanks for the chuckles.

Roger, the pictures of Aruba are amazing! I can't wait.

I went to Target yesterday, and there was a Suburban parked across from me with a license plate from Aruba. A REAL plate. I'm trying to figure out how they drove it here.

 

[m&m's mom]

I was in Aruba 3 years ago and a couple of things stand out in my mind.
The first is that Aruba was very windy. I have long hair so it was a pain.
Secondly is there must be 2 sides of the island. We went to the "wrong" one. It was very industrial, very, very windy and not so pretty. We will make sure we do not back to the same side again.

On a side note, I listed the stops when I donated blood last week and they said I would be blocked for a year after we get back. I will make sure I go every 2 months during the next 12 months and then maybe I won't feel so bad next year not being able to donate.

See.... I knew it all along! Good luck with the next two stages. Presume theres' a liberal sprinking of pixie dust with these fortune cookies! Go get 'em...

... and yeah... I hit on a theme for the evening that was potent with latent potential - plus a challenging set of limitations. It has been FUN trying to just use fortune cookies for my last few postings!​

Hey, Andrew....

... look at the BOTTOM two fortune cookie results and WHO they are for ......

And yes... I was asleep pretty early by my standards more or less. 1st grade starts for the older one in a couple of days - Sooooo .... for the first time in perhaps 20 years I will now have a steady requirement to wake up at like 7AM to get the girls to school at 8 (or 8:30AM) .... I'm about to go through some shock as I shift into an early morning schedule - and start sleeping early all the time! Shoot .. it's only 10:30 now and we're trying to get the kids asleep here in the hotel ... and this sort of "push" is feeling like it is really 12:30AM or 1AM behavior!​

Like the unique tastes and good personality.

These (above and below) are the best that I could come up with....

Thanks for your perspective on the GC & DLH. 10-15 more points per night is a lot just for a balcony. I'm definitely leaning more towards DLH at this point.

Just an FYI for anyone that might have a flight booked on JetBlue this fall. They just dropped their prices & our flights for November went down so we ended up with a $100 credit towards a future flight. Which means our flight to CA next Aug. is already $100 less!

Love the fortune cookies too Crash!

When DD was 2 (ish) we taught her to answer the question: "What is the first rule of Pirating?" with "Pillage first and THEN burn." We got lots of laughs with that one.

I don't think no rain and low 80's is possible -- but no rain and high 80's (but probably low 90's) is about the best you can hope for.
