For anyone interested, here is a link to some of my vacation pictures.

I divided them into albums to make it easier to know where we were.
As long as we have all started the serious planning, is there any thought yet as to how we are all going to link dining? I know that Waaaay back Lisa had said she would be doing it for everyone, but she hasn't been around in ages and I think she was one of those who left the thread
I definitely want to link with fellow DISers for dining - I know that we have at least ONE thing in common and we have had a blast with our previous 3 cruises when we have dined with DIS folks. (The friends we made on our first cruise are still very close - they also happen to live nearby - we are going to their DCL house party in a couple weeks!)
We could just do it ad-hoc where we all try to PM each other and make up tables that way. If we do it that way, it might help if Tom could put a list of those who want to find table mates on the website or something. I wish I could volunteer to try and organize it, but I know that I am already over-volunteered and it wouldn't be fair to try and take on something this size. (I suspect that PTO, Garden Club, the classroom party, choir, etc would suffer since DIS stuff is more fun!) It would be really cool if all of us in the same dining time (Captain's Dining and Late/Traitors/Swabbie Dining) could be on the same rotation so we would be in the same dining room together and on similar schedules. Is that something we can request from DCL?
Anyway, I thought I would throw this out here and see if this is something that is already being thought about or if there are any great, new ideas.

Dare I suggest............some cake ???
David
cake....Good for you Andrew
Since my knee injury, I have put on so much weight because my mobility is affected. The only way I can lose weight is to stop eating altogether.
David
Good job Andrew!!!
I've taken off 5 pounds since 1-1-08, my goal is to lose at least 30 pounds, I need to give my knees a break!!!
i try not to beat myself up trying to understand it.
for entering "womanhood", a brown bag full of peanuts 
and a few pairs of wings.
HAPPY
ANNIVERSARY
PIRATES
Those of us staying at the HoJo's call always suggest a meet by the pool!? Or laundry room prior to the cruise!

's think alike 
Ok this is a first for me ...
That looks awesome Julie
I've been hoping to do the BOB excursion on Cabo, though I can only do it if I book direct because DCL's age restriction won't allow my DD11
If we don't book the BOB, we may go with the ATV tour since our last horseback riding experience didn't go well for DH and DS
Yikes just noticed the time....
Gotta go to bed...

TAKE WHAT YOU CAN.....
Cherie and I gave the girls a coupon for a puppy for Christmas so today we finally found one at a local adoption. He is only 6 weeks old so we can't take him home yet but it was fun to see him. He is a mix but probably has some lab and maybe some cocker.
We had a great time at WDW and we got a Dream. In fact, it turned into a Double Dream.
We were talking to a Dream Squad CM, who offered us a private meet and greet with Cinderella. I knew my DD and my Mom would be thrilled, so of course I accepted, and we managed to keep it a secret from both of them. My Mom was so excited when we went through the curtains and she saw Cinderella that she was crying. Here's a picture of the family:
The CM could tell that the boys were a little less than enthused with the meeting. I guess that's what happens after years of princess breakfasts. He said to meet him at the pirate tutorial in Adventureland, since that was something that the boys would enjoy.
We met up with him about 15 minutes before the show, so we could be sure to be right up front. The show was really fun. We all enjoyed it, and the kids all "joined" Captain jack's crew at the end of the show.
We thought that it was cool, and were about to leave. the CM said he had one more thing to show us, so we followed him across the street to a CM only backstage door. He opened it up and told the boys to go in, and we all followed. They walked along a pathway, and guess who popped out to surprise us all???
Captain Jack Sparrow!!!!
We had a nice little private Meet and Greet with the good captain, and his mate Mack from the pirate tutorial show. They posed for pictures and gave us autographs and chatted with us for a few minutes. It was a really fun experience.
Angelina just announced that she was asked to go to the Senior Prom, in May, with the boy(Frank) that she sang with in a school talent show when they were in second grade. Frank told Angelina last night that he wanted to ask her to go with him last year, but he was to nervous to ask her. It's a shame because neither Frank nor Angelina wound up going to the prom last year. Frank and Angelina have known each other since pre-school. In fact, Angelina just told me that she and Frank were marriedon the school playground when they were in Kindergarten............Somehow, I never got wind of that wedding.........
Apparently in Florida they have a law regarding abandonment of property - we were 15 feet away getting food at a buffet!! With this in mind, the police weren't interested, eventhough I could see my property in the back of someones car.
After the police went I went back into the restaurant, grabbed the thief, dragged him outside, took him to his car and gave him 30 seconds to give me my property back or I told him I would break his face and legs (I was so angry I would have). By this time Helen was screaming at me to leave him alone as she had visions of me not returning to the UK the following day and spending some time in a Florida prison.
The thief started crying, returned my camera and lenses and begged me not to tell his manager what he had done.
I was so relieved to get my kit back, I agreed.
I think that is the first tme I have written this down but I have not given the name of the restauant or the name of the thief - other than to say it is part of a chain and in the LBV area, near DTD
