A rabbi, a priest, and a pastor board the Wonder: we're back!

January was so perfect and I hadn't really thought about cruising this year. Still a little bummed over my mid winter break but so glad we'll have the warm weather on our side.​


As much as you don't like cold weather you would love cruising during the winter. Maybe in the future you'll revisit January as a possibility.


I'm definitely planning on rebooking on board. Seems like a no brainer as you can move it as many times as need be. I'm hoping once M sees how much fun Joshua and I had, he'll board the cruise train. He's so anti-cruise but I don't think he fully understands how much fun it can be. I think he's got PTSD from watching The Love Boat in the 70's. :lmao: He doesn't get that it's not all ventriloquist and glitter. It'll take time but I'm sure he'll warm up to it. He didn't like Disney when we met and just the other day he was saying how he wants to go back to WDW once the new DTD is complete and stay at SSR. I didn't know he knew about the the new DTD but he read about it in USA Today.

I was anti cruise before too, its unlike anything the mind imagines. Hopefully you can convince him to try it :)

Will SAS do transport from the hotel to port too or are they just port/airport airport/port?

They pick up at certain hotels, there's a list on the website. You have to click on a link that's in the middle of the main page. I'm sure it doesn't hurt to ask if yours isnt on the list. Is Holiday Inn one your friends code might work on?

Too funny about the Love Boat reference! :rotfl: I am sure M will warm up to it. Of course he will get on board. How could he not? You already won him over with WDW. :thumbsup2

Thanks! I'll have to check that out. No, she only gets Marriott and Hilton discounts. I'll keep checking though to see if our date opens up.

I think he'll go for it or at least entertain it once Joshua's and I cruise and he hears how fabulous it is. And believe me, he'll hear about it. :cool1:

Right?! That's what I'm thinking too. He would hardly go to Disneyland for the day when we first met. Now he's loving 12 day WDW trips. Is just a matter of time. :stir:

How are you friend? :hug: I love the burial with the shells for your kitty.​
 

No worries on the hotel. I found a Holiday Inn less than 5 minutes from the airport for $139 that SAS picks up at. The reviews are pretty good so I'll just book that. All the ones I've found for less have some pretty scary reviews. I changed the car rental too so I'm almost all set :)

Link please! That's an awesome deal. :woohoo:

Pam - that is a great deal! :thumbsup2

And YAY for 179 days! Progress is being made.

After searching long and hard I think this is the one. Nothing fancy but I don't want to spend too much.



Its perfect! I might book it too. :thumbsup2 No frills. Have you researched if there are any stores or restaurants nearby? Do you buy your soda to bring on the ship?​

I agree, that's a screaming deal. I haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn in ages but remember them being nice enough.





:ccat: 177 days!!! :ccat:
 
No frills is exactly what I need, just a clean place to sleep. No, I haven't checked if anything is nearby, this week has been absolutely crazy. I'll buy a few 20 oz bottles at the airport but never take on big bottles or cans. Diet coke serves my caffeine addiction adequately. I hate to buy extra when there's free soda on the ship.



176 Days!!!

:cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1:



Everything set for the bar mitzvah?

Were inching closer. :thumbsup2 Is it on the SAS list? Did I ask that? :upsidedow


No we're 100% for the bar mitzvah. :crazy2: We've got one week. My kippah arrived misspelled and the new ones were supposed to arrive today. Just a minor heart attack. Good thing you and MEK are RNs. ;)

Dinner is set. The cake is set. The luncheon is half way set. But sweet Joshua is ready. :goodvibes

So one week to the bar mitzvah? Loved Joshua's haircut picture on FB.

Can I just tell you that when I was a 13 year old I attended many bar mitzvahs and I have so many wonderful memories of those events. Such a wonderful, meaningful ceremony (which at the time seemed eternal) and such enjoyable festivities. I hope everything goes off without a hitch!

I can't remember if you asked but yes it is. I found it before looking at the list and then saw it again on the list which was a bonus. Mostly good reviews which is better than a lot of others.

Oh my goodness, I would have had a panic attack. Did the others arrive? Mary Ellen is a NP and works in cardiac. But please no heart attacks :)

:goodvibes
 
So exciting- just a week to go! I agree with MEK, Joshua's FB haircut was so cute- he is such a nice kid- I feel so lucky that I got to meet all three of your spectacular offspring while in DLR this summer! :goodvibes

I am having a Jenny morning, lol- I just texted you too- :)
 
Ok, what's a kippah? I'm too lazy to Google.

Can't believe its only a week until his Bar Mitzvah! Glad Joshua is ready. ;)

It's snowing here in Denver. I can't believe its only the 4th of October! I'm not ready for winter!!!! At least I'll be in Florida 2 weeks from today!

Just popping in to say :wave2: I'm still following along! Good for Joshua! I hope everything goes just great next week!

:goodvibes You're so sweet, thank you. I'm pretty much having a nervous breakdown right now. :rotfl: Not really but we're to the point where there isn;t much more we can do until about 2 days before. :hyper: We were going to get a bakery cake but then my bestie's daughter offered to bake his cake. Its really cute. I'll see if I can get one of them to send me a pic. It's so cute and who doesn't love the taste of a homemade cake better than a bakery? Ok, maybe an upscale bakery but I am not spending $250 on a cake which was what I was quoted. :faint: I know his bar mitzvah is a once in a lifetime. I also know he's 12 and as long as there is chocolate and chocolate and maybe some candy on top, he'll be happy. Sorry, I'm rambling.....​

Excellent. I'm not stalking you but may stay there too. :rotfl2:

:goodvibes


Not yet. :hyper: I got a UPS shipment notification but no kippah. :headache: You have no clue what a headache this year every year. I'm not quite sure why. We went with a different compnay this year hoping to alleviate the kippah stress. :rolleyes1

I'm loving it girl! :hug: They really loved meeting you too. Hope we can all meet up soon or at least another girl's meet.​

The kippah or yarmulke (yam-a-ka) is the skull cap worm. www.jewfaq.org can answer all of your questions. :laughing:


Snowed here too. Just shoot me. :scared1: ;) The thought my 20th winter really makes me question my sanity.​



Just popping in to say :wave2: I'm still following along! Good for Joshua! I hope everything goes just great next week!


:wave: Loving your *live* report. Hope you're having a blast.​
 
Stalk away! I would have booked the hotel you were at but it's just too much for me.

I'm sorry about the kippahs, does the tracking number have a delivery date with it? How could they possibly spell them wrong :( don't they check them five million times before shipping :confused3

You'd think with a last name of Sheets, it wouldn't be all that difficult. :lmao:


I'm heading to the gym to work off some of this nervous energy. :hyper:
