8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 9

[eeyorelvr10]

In regards to my earliertimes I posted - approximate and I'm assuming you all know that by time I meant walking time. - just wanted to clarify!

 

[goofyforlife]

I'm only 37yrs old and was not prepared for something like this at this stage of my life. I've never been pretty- I know that. But it's like God had to say oh you think you're ugly now, you haven't seen nothing yet... it can always get worse little missy.

Bip hang in there.....My thoughts are with you....

Sometimes these weird medical things happen.....

About 10 yrs ago my Dh and i were buying our first house.... my Dh started having problems with his vision. It really scared us....But i had faith that it would pass. It turned out to be something called Optic Neuritis. ON can be a precursor to MS but isn't always... DH had to get an MRI and i went with him. That point in our life was one of the only times i've seen my DH cry.

It did go away and the neurologist we saw said that it could mean something or it could mean nothing.....

I'll be praying for you.....

I don't know much about your condition but i think my DGF has had Bell's Palsy at times for most of his life.... But when i think of him.. i don't have bad images....

Hey Pete I saw the advise you gave Shelley (even tho you weren't supposed to) and I think you are AWESOME! You must be a great Dr. because your "caring" shone right through your writing!


Hi Johnna!

 

[dzneprincess]

Ok all - went and did some FYI exploration. For those staying at HOJO next year - took some pictures and as soon as I can find where the dang program put them I'll upload - most likely later this evening. However, did find out some info for you:

1. - I'm impressed - clean and tucked away into a corner - borders the freeway but still decent and somewhat more quieter than the other hotels right across.
2. - There is a Mimi's Cafe and a KFC within a 1-minute walk actually its right across the street it'll take you 30 seconds.
3. - McDee's is within 3 minutes, there's also a Millie's restaurant on the other side of KFC.
4. - NOTE: Your view of DL will be blocked unless your on the high floor of building 1.
5. - Talked with some hotel guests in pool #2 AKA Garden Pool - rooms have 2 queen beds and they had 3 small boys - said they had a cot brought in and it was sufficient for them.
6. - Bldg 2 (4 stories) is the one by the Garden Pool and is tucked the furthest away from the front - however, the back borders a fwy which does have a sound wall - plus side - no noisy traffice behind you.
7. - Bldg's 6, 5, 4, 3 are low buildings 2 stories - sorry had a moment on that one. Building 1 (7 stories) is the high tower.
8. - 2 Pools - front one is within sight of the Monorail track and closest to Harbour Blvd.
9. - SMALL fountain in the middle of a courtyard
10. - OH Yeah - has a wading pool for the young'uns.
11. - Front desk has 2 free internet site ( which I took a picture of will post later)
12. - Arcade room - small but decent - directly across from the gift shop in bldg 1 - sorry forgot to check hours
13. - Laundry rooms are located in Bldg # on 1st floor, Bldg 1 in basement, there is a soda vending machine and ice machine on each floor at the end of the bldgs
14. - parking MAY be a problem during summer since its tucked away into a triangle part but I'm sure there's plenty.
15. - Front desk is small but easily accessible even to wheelchairs.
16. - Pool has outside shower and men's and women's bathroom next to wading pool - I took a picture will upload later.

Let's see - bldge 6 and 5 seem to under renovation so you'll all have some comfy sheets and new painted walls - couldn't get a decent picture of the size of the rooms but they looked decent - nothing too spacious but the grounds looked very clean and the people at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. I just went up to them and explained I was doing some research for a 'couple' of friends of mine and they let me on the grounds. Was considering asking them to let me view a room but thought that I might be pushing my luck that way.

OK - will post pictures later - let me know if you all have any questions.

Oh Yeah - the most important of all - you are litereally across the street but your view of DL will be obstructed. You MUST cross in a marked pedestrian walkway as Harbour is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS to cross jay walking - this will add maybe 5-8 minutes depending on the speed of your walk. Crosswalk is up the street a bit.

Ooops - more info I forgot: CVS/Sav-On drug store, Vons Grocery Store within 1 mile - Post Office also within driving distance. An ATM is located at the McDee's 2 minutes away. Convention center about 10 minutes away - actually you might be able to see the top of it - it borders DL. AMC Movie theatres at Downtown Disney Western Medical not too far if anyone need medical attn.

Check Cashing at front desk - Traveler's check up to $100 per day per room and subject to availability of funds. Personal checks not accepted.

BTW, pool temp is 80 degrees - spa is 102.
Taxi's service area and have a separate number for that. However, there is a city run shuttle service that runs every 20 minutes - can get in in the hotel parking area - there is a space for them. The charge is $3.00 per adult over the age of 10 - IOW kids 10 and under are free - bus runs 1/2 hr before parks open up to 1/2 hr after parks close.

OK - that's all I can think of now - later - ask ?'s if you want.

Great information! Thank you!

Time to go feed the boys and watch Idol.

In case anyone ever wondered why I don't feed DD.....she's a dancer. She teaches, she dances with a troupe, and she dances with her squad at school....which, by the way, just took First in State!.....so she's never home. Otherwise, I'd feed her too. Honest.

Dont believe the hype

 

[O'BWV]

Updated list of participants, now to sample the creme brule Ben & J's

Hey Pete - John is a Large Jersey. Thanks!

 

[darthrugby]

This reminded me Stace, I just loved those rugby smiley's. Thanks!

 

[eeyorelvr10]

Oh Yeah - Hotel Rooms have WiFi access - at least that's what front desk told me. Hope this helps! Can't remember if he said you had to pay $10 or if he was making a joke to me - AND....it looks like there is additional parking right across the street right now which was blocked off for construction us I guess. Sorry - forgot that one.

Laura Txs so much for the updated info...

 

[lbgraves]

I am wondering if there is a tour company that we could book a group tour with? Cruisecritic.com should have some information. Putting on the list of things to do.

Well, there are three pages that came back from a search of cartegena over there. Can't get to it tonight.

 

[O'BWV]

Wow what a day!

I hope tomorrow is better for all of us!!

Have a great nite everyone and talk to you all tomorrow

KAREN

Hey Karen how you doin' Pal???

 

[Diznyfan68]

Geesh! Go out for an ice cream run and I'm 10 pages behind. Caught up now. I got:

Vanilla for me

Chocolate for the girls

None for DW shes on nutirsystem and will probably kill me for saying it but I'm so proud of her she lost 23 lbs since Jan. 2nd

Got 2 new flavors from Ben & J

Creme Brule and Vermonty Python.

Way to go Johanna!

I'm still craving icre cream - guess I'll have to settle for some cheese and crackers.

 

[Grandma x3]

We can work on finding a company there. I do have contact information for the FL transfer company from the port to MCO. I just can't be the person to coordinate it with everything else.

Lisa - I let Julie that I will check it out from here in So. CA & DD Lori has contacts thru the entertainment law firm where she works.

Chris

 

[dahuffy]

I have a ton of CDs to download. Once I get Garth, Vince Gill, Reba, Wynona, Lonestar, & B&D on there along with others...it will be really good.

I see a lot of Okies in that lineup!

This will be a game of 7's Touch Rugby on the beach, Co-Ed, no tackiling. 7's rugby is the summer version of conventional 15 a side Rugby Union, with 7 min halfs for a total of 14 min. playing time. So we're looking at a total of max 1/2 hour on the beach.

We would need a couple of hookers I mean subs.

I would like to have 2 practices durning the cruise on the sports deck during the week. At this time we would assign positions and give out jerseys.

I will provide jerseys for the participants as well as refreshments at the Chonched out bar post game.

If your interested please PM me and let me know your shirt size.

I would also need a referee. Preferably someone familiar with the rules of the game.

Thanks, Pete

I hear you about the HE detergent...We JUST stocked up on regular stuff...the ALL Small and Mighty stuff, because it was on sale!!
So we now have like 8 bottles of detergent that we're not going to be able to use...

Oh well. So far we're really liking the LG.
I love the little chimes...

Why can't you return that? I wouldn't hold on to that much product that I couldn't use.
