All I can say is this has been a very WEIRD evening! DH just got off the phone with CNN - Really!

I think I have mentioned before that he is very into Kiva.org and making micro-loans ($25 at a time) to individuals in 2nd and 3rd world nations. He has been involved with this for well over a year and spends a lot of time on the KivaFriends board (sort of like DIS for Kiva folks). Today, Kiva called him to ask if he would be willing to be interviewed. CNN Money is doing a segment on Kiva and wanted to talk to a lender who had loaned money to an individual that they had video for. DH fit their criteria and it helps that we are near a major city (about 30 miles from downtown Chicago). He agreed to do it and CNN called to do a pre-interview. The original plan had him going downtown tomorrow to a studio - but on the phone they asked if he would be willing for them to come to the house and tape him at his computer! It still isn't finalized - they'll call tomorrow morning with the final plan. They plan to air the segment "several times" this weekend.

As I said .... a VERY weird evening!

I just had to say that I've never heard of Kiva before but what a fantastic idea. I confess I couldn't resist doing my bit and have just donated to 4 different loans.

I've sponsored a child through World Vision for years and always wanted to do more to help and individual in a developing country.

I think I'm going to enjoy Kiva very much and want to thank you for telling us about it.

Now I need to confess to the team over on the budget board in the No Buy January thread but I don't have any guilt over it at all!

Very Chilly here in the North East. Feels like absolute zero out. Exactly one more month for our cruise, 12 days of bliss. St Maarten, St John Antiqua, Roseau Dominica, Brigeport Barbados, Basserterre St Kitts, St Thomas & San Juan

 

[joksten2000]

We're been supporting a child in Central America. It's appealing to help someone that wants to help themselves.

Cool! What usually comes in the preplanning kits, Tracy? We booked our last cruise (1st one) so late last year that most of the stuff from DCL arrived as we're going out the door. Love having all this time to plan properly for the REPO trip. This time around we'll have door magnets and pirate costumes for starters.

It's just a booklet that will tell us about the excursions offered, describe the ship, gifts offered to purchase, tuxedo rental - stuff like that. All stuff you can find online so nothing new, but it's always exciting to get stuff from DCL right

Hi Everyone,

Well, DH survived his CNN experience! He seems to have enjoyed it. They decided to do a couple extra shots of him in addition to the interview, so he got to walk down Michigan Ave in the snow and the other was walking down a hallway near the studio. He said that doing the interview was odd because it was the kind with a speaker in your ear and staring straight into a camera as you talk. They sent it all through the satelite "live" to the producer's desk in Atlanta. They are going to email him exactly when it will be aired, but the "show" it was for is called "Your $$$$$".

Of course, walking down Michigan Avenue with a camera on him sort of made him the center of attention! I think he was a little embarassed!

That's so cool. I'll have to try to watch it!!!

I'm under the impression that Joey Fatone has pretty much moved onto the ship. He was on our last cruise & there are always sightings of him posted here. Gosh, I hope we get more than Joey Fatone.

Hmmmm.....

Joey Fatone or Julie Andrews.

Which one am I hoping for on our cruise????
