Can we make a pact?

No one in our group drinks and drops anchor... literally!

Deal?

Drunk Passenger Drops Anchor on Cruise Ship With 1,950 Onboard

 

[sdchickie]

Since I don't have the $500,000 to pay or the time to rot in jail, I don't think I'll be attempting to drop any anchors anytime soon!

I can assure you that I will keep that pact with you. . . . . I don't drink.
My drink weaknesses are sweet tea with an occasional Pepsi!!!

I did that last cruise, and tried to coordinate FE gifts to the gender and the age of the kids...if anyone is interested in my minutiae , please PM me and I'll send it over!!

That is about the funniest prank I have heard about all year!!! What an idiot. And to think that he bragged about owning a 50 footer and knew how the anchor worked. Was he trying to impress a girl????

You can go ahead and pm me yours. I also have a spreadsheet with that sort of breakdown that I have been working from.
Just wanted to put the easiest thing out for now for all to see.
When we get all the final info I will send out an even more detailed list.

Connie I would like that.. it will help me with my planning. I am so far behind.

I don't have my magnets made, FE gifts are not done, Not even thinking of packing yet.

Sunday we are doing a fundraiser, Nutcracker tea and I am frantic trying to get this done and hoping for a success...After that I will then start working on everything for the cruise.

I have a question on the FE process. Do we need to plan on providing a gift for everyone on the list just one time or a gift for everyone every day of the cruise?

Plan on a big gift for everyone the first day, then two per day the other days, then another big one for the end of the cruise!!!

It's what ever you would like to do, no requirements, just fun. And remember size does not matter.

A few pages back we decided that participants would decide what works best for them.

As of right now I am giving one gift per kid and an adult gift. We might also do a room gift, but that depends on time and space in the luggage!

Well I suppose I'll bring a couple of empty suitcases to bring home all the goodies, if that's how it works!

OK, at the bottom of this I have brought the final list that is totally broken down which I think is what you want.

What they all said before. It is totally your decision. The amount, size and times done is to your discretion. One thing we did on my last cruise was to pick a day that you wanted to deliver your gifts so that there would be something everyday and if y'all want to do that we can get that figured out also. I will start with saying I will deliver the first full day which is Friday the 31st. We don't have to do this, but it spreads the fun out for the entire cruise!!

Hey Alex, my DH says that you are more then welcome to pay for our next Disney Cruise.

Got a 4K run in tonight - 5 weeks Friday is the big race day. The weather was not the greatest - just at freezing in the dark, and there was ice and frost on the walks. Decided to take a new route and discovered it was a little too windy, so I back tracked and followed another more sheltered route, then the dog decided that she needed to investigate the new territory, and spent more time then usually sniffing. Came in under the 40 minute mark with all the sniffing stops, so I am hoping I make the 16 minute mile for the race. I really would like to get the rubber medal. Geez, I never considered myself competitive before, but you dangle a prize in front of the nose, and I have to go for it. Sounds like Alex is prepared for the race. How about you SDChickie?

[tinkerbelle77]

Guess What?!? We have made a spur-of-the-moment decision to NOT leave the ship on January 6th. We are going to take the Panama Canal cruise back to Los Angeles!!!

My Father in law and Grandma in law are doing this also!! They are so excited! I wish we could get the time off work to do it! Enjoy and have lots of fun!

 

[kyanandme]

kyanandme. . . does it matter which room your gift is put in for those that might make a package instead of individual gifts?

Nope, either room is fine. Thanks for asking!
