Sorry, I started a new thread, I didn't see you here...

My daughter and I will be joining you on your cruise! This is our first time on the DCL and I am so excited, I can hardly contain it.
I am celebrating my daughter's 8th birthday on the ship.

Hi

Welcome....I'm so glad you joined us! What a great birthday present for your daughter!

 

[tevagirl]

HELLOOOOOOO.......any one out there? Once again I am obviously the only one that doesn't have a life. Just thought I'd post something and get us back on page one. Come on people.....a little help here would be nice...I feel so lonely.....I'd even talk to Rose!

Welcome WldWcnWmn!

My son will be almost 9 on the cruise. There are quite a few kids in that age group here, mostly boys though.

Hi Denise

I'm going nuts here. DS has an ear infection and has been home from school for two days. He's acting normal, but has a fever so I'm keeping him home. He's having a great time playing all day, but I can't get anything done. Can't wait for him to get better and go back to school.

 

[tevagirl]

Hope your DS is better and back in school tomorrow...for his sake and yours! I can certainly relate....my DH called in sick from work tonight and he's making me crazy. He's like a 3 year old with a boo-boo. Big old baby

I have been MIA again. It is hard to find enough computer time! I tried to get on the boards the other day, but couldn't. They must have been having problems.

Jill: We own DVC, a timeshare through Disney. Yes, we stay on site, most often at the Old Key West Resort. We love it there. We have a 1-bedroom for May. We can't wait, especially since we got a bunch of snow yesterday.

We made our after cruise ressies for OKW.

We have Chef Mickey PS for May for breakfast.

Denise: I work every other weekend and that is it. I used to work more, but decided to stay home and raise Kaleigh. Maybe I should say that I used to GO to work more. I think I actually WORK more now! It is a lot quieter on the weekends. I am pretty much my own boss. I get there at 6 AM, pull all of my meds and hand them out. I leave at 10 AM. Our place is too small to need 2 nurses all day. We just need 2 for the morning med pass. I just hate getting up so early and it only gives me 2 hours away from Kaleigh each day. Once I am there, I am fine.

WElllll hellooooooo Everyone!

I am heading out of town this weekend. A get-away with no husband, no kids, no nothing. Just me, me , me. Going to visit my high school girlfriend... (you guys know that I graduated from high school 10 years ago, right?).....and party like it is 1999! OH wait, 1999 has passed. Okay, I am gonna party like its 2099. Yeah, that works.

I am soooo looking forward to getting away. No one knocking on the bathroom door asking me what I am doing. NO one wanting me to get them something to eat. No one telling me that they need a hug. And, that is just the husband! Awwww, can you say heaven?

We had a great time at Legoland last weekend. Denise, anytime you want to visit California, let me know. Ohhhhh no, you can't stay here but I would be happy to find you and the family a nice hotel where you can take me out to dinner!

Have a great weekend everyone. Be SAfe

Hi from Minnesota,

I have been MIA for quite a while. Spring is finally here. Had our first thunderstorms of the season today. The snow is almost gone from our back yard. It is looking kinda of dirty around here.

I am still trying to find a good airline pricing for our travel dates in October. If anyone from Minnesota has found anything let me know. Sun Country really came through for our December trip to WDW but still is at $300.00 round trip in October. Of course Northwest is way up there on the non-stops.

I was reading how bad the rip currents are in some areas of Florida right now.
The advice was if you can't swim don't go into the ocean above your ankles.

It brought me back to our last trip to St. Martin, we were at Orient Beach and my daughter and I were pulled under near shore. I hung on to her feet as we were both pulled under. That was the only memory from that cruise I didn't like. I don't think we will be going to Orient beach this time.

It is getting close to the magical 6 month point. That means it was 6 months from our last cruise. My DH took out his cruise pants (you know the ones with the stretchy waist band) the other day and joked how his is ready for his 21 buffets in a row. He also demonstrated to all who would watch how far his waist band can be stretched for the cruise. As we get closer to the cruise he does this more often. It is going to be a long 6 months.

Hope all is well with all signd up so far.

Hi Nancy

LOL about your DH's cruise pants.

Yeah, the rip currents have been really bad down here. And it's been super windy the last few days. It was so windy last night that it must have downed some power lines. Our power was out from 4:30 am to around 7 am. I know this because my fan and sound spa went off and I couldn't sleep anymore. I have to remember to get batteries for the sound spa.
I think we might go to the beach today or tomorrow to check out the waves (no swimming). That must have been really scary when you and your DD got pulled under.

 

[Boardwalk4us]

Hi Sandy,

Can you eleborate on the rip-currents. Do the upper winds cause them or what? It was our very first experience with them as we are here in Minnesota so when we get to a ocean beach we love to experience it, but not that way. We once stayed in Hollywood (I think) Florida and enjoyed that area. Is that close to you??

Nancy

 

[Zandy595]

I didn't really know how to explain it so I found this. Rip Currents

We went to the beach yesterday to see the waves. The water was a beautiful turquoise. They had the warning flag up for dangerous conditions (and man-o-war). There was only one crazy women in the water and the life guard was watching her very closely.

Hollywood is about an hour and 45 minutes south of us. My uncle lives there.

Nancy: LOL about your DH's cruise pants!

We are trying to switch from late dining to early dining. We decided it would be easier with Kaleigh even though we do not like early dining.

Just counting down the days till our WDW trip in May. We are leaving 2 days earlier than the counter says and staying at Coronado Springs for 2 days, then we move over to OKW for the duration.

Hi All,

Hope everyone is well. My DH and I have been busy planning our next vacations. He has a Marine Corp reunion coming up in June that is being held in Las Vegas and I have my annual May trip to Myrtle Beach. Can't wait....that's one of my favorite vacations. My girlfriend and I go down for about two weeks. We rent a condo on the beach and do absolutely nothing but go to the beach and shop! Heaven. We are trying a different place to stay this year. It's a condo that is on the top floor of the building and it has two decks. One is covered and one isn't. We spend alot of time out on the deck. We have our coffee out there every morning and when we come off the beach we sit out there with a nice cold drink. (A blender is the first thing on our list to pack!) Hmmm...I can taste those drinks already! As a matter of fact....that's exactly what I plan on doing on our veranda in October! I think I see a pattern starting to develop here.

It's 9pm, DH just left for work and there's nothing on TV. I am a little bored. I could clean but I'm not. Maybe I'll just go to bed. So good night and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Denise

 

[Denine]

Wow! 2 weeks with just your friend to sit around and do nothing but shop and drink sounds heavenly!

It is so gray and yucky here I can't stand it. I really need some sunshine!

 

[Boardwalk4us]

Denine,
We have sun here today, no wind 46 degrees and we are lovin it. The baby squirrels were playing yesterday in our trees. There were 4 of them. The chipmunks are busy and Mr. & Mrs. Duck (Mallards) who visit us every year at spring came back to eat under the bird feeder. It Is Official, It's SPRING!

Hopefully some sun shine will come your way.

Nancy
