Any 10-16-04 cruisers yet?

[wide awake]

Okay, I am starting to worry...the changes in ports don't bother me, but from a 7 to a 5 day, a 4 to a 3 ? What are the odds that these storms will keep coming ? By the way, I have no docs yet !!!!

I don't think I'd be the stable person you've seen all this time (yeah right!) if our cruise is shortened. So, everybody get together the NEW, IMPROVED mantra is, "we will not be cancelled, and we will be out for 7 days" (or longer ) BTW I didn't have to sign for the cruise documents. Do you think it's worth $30.00 to have DCL put up a banner and centerpiece for Mekayla's B-Day in our stateroom? There was a brochure that came with the docs that had all this cute stuff you could buy and have in the stateroom, but would the room steward get totally bent if I just hung up my own Happy Birthday banner? I am on the Single Parent Spending Plan...

Remember, 7 days or longer!

I think we will be ok, wink wink! Fingers crossed! Karl has taken a turn up north and out of our way and Lisa is starting to break up!

Let's just hope that things calm down.

I just got home from a wedding. It was in Cape May in an old victorian mansion. The couple was married on the lawn under a gazebo and they had the reception inside. It was really nice and we had fun. But.....it could have been a lot nicer if, when I had gotten home, my docs were here. I agree with wilderness girl...I'm gonna have to hurt someone.

Sandy and all you other Floridians.....once again our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks, Denise. Looks like we're going to get slammed by Jeanne. When it makes land fall it's supposed to be a category 3 with wind gusts up to 138 mph. DH went to work a little while ago and we probably won't see him for a couple days. I should be able to check in again tomorrow before the power goes out.

 

[wildernessgirl]

Sandy, stay safe!! I hope this one will be the last one that you guys have to deal with. Prayers and pixie dust your way! Your family will be in my thoughts this weekend!!!

 

[Denine]

Sandy: Stay safe...again. Hopefully this will be the last.

WE GOT OUR DOCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were at the post office when Jerry went to pick the mail up on Thursday.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEET PRINCESS KALEIGH!!

 

[tevagirl]

Happy Birthday, Kaleigh! I hope you have a happy and fun day!

Sandy...I'll buy you a drink when we're on board, you certainly have earned a few!

Just checking in to say hello.

Sandy - Stay safe! Looks like this is going to be another big one.

Julie - Thank you for the 10/16 email list.

Denine - Glad you received your docs.

Everyone have a good weekend.

Sandy, we're watching the weather channel diligently! Our prayers are with you! We just know you're gonna' come out of this o.k. and have that long awaited vacation on the 16th. Please post as soon as you can, so we know Jeannne didn't get ya'.

Mekayla and I went to walmart last night to look for pirate gear...they didn't have all of their halloween stuff up but it was funny that she found eye patches (for the Pirate's night ) by the bonine! She didn't realize that eye patches were used because people had medical need, not strictly for costume use. You talk to your kid a million times a day, and take for granted they understand the simplest of concepts...when in reality they don't. She thought pirates wear eye patches 'cause they look cool. go figure. I wish I was seven again!

Zandy 595 - hope your parents and my dh can still plan on the 12 metre on St.Maarten.
Denine - happy 2nd birthday to your Princess Kaleigh.

Good Morning

Just checking in...hoping Sandy was able to update us on how they are doing. I guess she's lost her electricity again.

Andrew had his first birthday party yesterday at the county park. Lots of babies there. It's a very nice park with a great zoo. We had a nice time.

Thea....I thought pirates wear eye patches to be cool too!

Denise

Good afternoon! I just saw on the weather channel that the West Palm area got hit pretty hard. Does anyone know exactly where Sandy lives? She and her family are in our prayers and thoughts!

I got an email notification last night that stated WDW would be closed today! I can't remember when WDW has closed sooooo much in one year!

What a year!

Sandy, I hope you are safe! PLEASE let us know how you are doing as soon as possible!

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Sandy lives in Stuart...you know, that little town they keep showing on the weather channel that got slammed by Jeanne?!?! I hope she's o.k. And I hope that's the last of the Hurricanes. Mickey's got two weeks to get everything up and running. Hope all goes well. Can't wait to hear from Sandy.

 

[Denine]

Sandy: We are thinking about you. Post when you can to let us know you are alright.

Kaleigh had a very nice party yesterday. Julie and the kids came and I got to see Brooke walking.

Can't wait for vacation, assuming Florida is still there by then.

 

[Zandy595]

Hi everyone! We're OK. We're at my mom's house right now. She got power back this morning. We still don't have it at our house. Just came over here to enjoy the A/C for awhile. It was 89 degrees inside our house when we left about 30 minutes ago. I dread going back.

It was VERY SCARY, but we made it through. My house wasn't damaged at all, but all the trees are down and our lamp post light in the front yard is broken. We had to go to our safe room (my walk-in closet) during the worst of the storm, but when the wind ripped off one of the metal hurricane shutters it wasn't safe to be in that part of the house anymore. We ran to the interior bathroom and stayed there until they said it was safe to leave. (We had a battery operated tv with us.)

My mom has some water damage at her house where rain came in around the windows. The rest of her patio screens were ripped off. Frances had already gotten some.

Well, gotta go. I might be able to check in again tomorrow.

Thanks for the prayers, thoughts and Pixie Dust. It worked!

Sandy

Glad everyone is safe.

 

[tevagirl]

Glad to hear you and your home made it through!

 

[wide awake]

Sandy, glad you're okay.
DS was supposed to have surgery tomorrow but has a cold so got bumped from the schedule. Now we're looking at after the cruise.
My DM has some kind of problem with the tendons in her foot and ankle...will be using a wheelchair in the airports. Am starting to wonder if she will even get off of the Magic.
We still don't have docs. Our reservations are with DU...are they slow on getting them out ?

 

[Denine]

Sandy: So glad to hear you are safe and so is your house.

WideAwake: At least you don't have to worry about your son and the anesthesia before the cruise. Your docs will come. Julie hasn't gotten hers either and she booked through DU.
