A Trip Down Memory Lane

[inkkognito]

I'm organizing my travel files tonight (when you sail as often as we do, you have to have a good file system!), and I came across a sheet with all of our sail dates since we started cruising Disney. I thought I'd share them just for fun. Some have a little notation if something notable occured:

Tony has informed me that we've spent over 100 nights at sea.
We've "only" got 11 more booked, and the next one in March will be the big Three-Oh!

WOW! ! !

Barb, what kind of Vacations did you and Tony enjoy/do before DCL in 1998?

As our upcoming Cruise will be our very first Cruise (DCL or any) I love hearing how much you enjoy them!


To think, You'll have been on 8 more cruises before I go on my First! Disgusting (wish it were me)

That is 35 nights in 2002 on the Magic or Wonder....you guys should be honorary CMs!

I imagine you must rack up a great deal of frequent flyer miles as well!?!

Happy Sailing, we're still waiting to take our first cruise in August, and after this winter, I might not want to leave Florida after we get off the Magic either!!!

Debbie, believe it or not, my hubby used to be a roller coaster fanatic so we did a lot of travelling to amusement parks around the country to ride the newest, tallest, and fastest coasters. We also had season passes to Cedar Point and Kings Island, which meant we did a lot of road trips from Illinois. But I guess we're getting old now and like to be pampered rather than jostled.
We enjoy doing dude ranches too, and slip one of those in every year or so. I just love being out west and riding in the mountains.
We mostly fly ATA, which does not have a frequent flyer program. But recently they started a program where you can earn free companion tickets or regular tickets based on the number of flights you take, and we've earned our first reward already. Now if only the ships would start offering a "sea miles" program!

Barb, You guys sound like a lot of fun. We're from Illinois too and planning to go to Cedar Point sometime this summer, we love rollercoasters too.

Yea, too bad they don't offer a "sea Miles" program!

Did you seethe new coaster they are building at Cedar Point that will be 400 feet tall?! I find that unbelievable!
We haven't even ridden Millenium Force, the 300 foot tall one, but I just love Magnum (a mere 200 ft.). Before I got my Lasik, we were riding in the back seat of Magnum once, where I like to ride with my head facing backwards because it looks so cool to see the track drop away. But my glasses were whipped right off my face and I never saw them again! Well, actually, I did see one of the lenses at the bottom, but it didn't look too good after a 200 foot plummit. Now when I'm looking at something backwards, I prefer it to be the wake of the Wonder that I watch from the verandah of 5650. Hubby and I always joke about that part from Titanic: "I'm leaning over to see the ah.....ah...the propellers!"
"Woman and machinery don't mix!"
