Ginger,

Rae can be reached at Rae519@yahoo.com

Rae gave me permission to give out her e-mail address.

 

["Ginger"]

Thanks Andy. Can't you talk Rae into coming back?

 

[Poohbush]

Evening all! Thanks Andy for Rae's email. We miss her very much, and I respect her decision. Like Tiff said, hope she's lurking!

Finally got our docs today! We're still in 6130, so I'm glad about that.

My MIL had surgery today to remove some of the tissue around the cancerous nodes, just to prevent any spreading. She'll still be in the recovery stage when we go cruising, then she'll start chemo upon her return. Please keep her in your thoughts & prayers.

Can't wait til the cruise gets here. We all really need a break from reality!

 

[KaitlinsMom]

Hello all - It is getting exciting now!!!

I am trying to book the horseback riding with Niki - I have her email and have emailed her a couple of times with no response (maybe I have the wrong email) Does anyone have a number or web-site I can use? Thanks!!!

My DD is 16 is already emailing Emma - If anyone else has a daughter around the same age and wants to email her, send me a PM and we will get it going! She would just like to get to know some people before we set sail!

Have in-laws over from England right now - My father in law is in the hospital - Turns out he has apendicitis (sp?) - They took it out last night - What a great holiday he is having!!!

I miss Rae as well - I kind of missed what happened - If someone wants to PM me the details - it would be great- She is so full of great information and humor and you can tell she is really genuine!!

hope all is well!!!!!

Karen

 

[mdvasquez]

Hey all!

Went to Sears yesterday and bought my DD some great clothes for the cruise. I got a bunch of stuff that was on clearance, marked down to $6.99 and then was 50% more off of that price. I also got my son a bathing suit that was 75% off, came to $3.49. So when my DD came home from school, we started to pack all of her new clothes. YEA We are almost at the 30 day mark now!!

Thanks Andy for Raes email! I have been meaning to ask you for it, but just kept forgetting.

Everything is going well here in FLA. The weather can't decide what to do, some days its hot and humid (which is normal for Sept.) and then some days its mild and breezy, with cool nights. Oh well, I guess you just have to enjoy every day for whatever it is!

Have a great day everyone.
Dena

Hi everyone. Still no documents though I got very excited this morning. I was on my way to drop my kids and 2 of their friends at school when we were passed by a UPS van heading towards my house!!! For a second I was tempted to turn round and chase him but decided that it probably wasn't a good enough reason for making 5 kids late for school. It's a good job I didn't set off in hot pursuit really because when I got home there was no evidence that UPS had been anywhere near us. He was obviously delivering somewhere else and just trying to raise my blood pressure!

 

[rocadonismom]

WOW, it's getting down to the wire now! When Emma started this post 350 some days ago I thought this cruise would NEVER get here. Now it's way close. YEAH!!!!

Ginger, I hate to do this but, I need to change my room number on the TOT list again. We got a little upgrade to a cat 9 because Disney accidently cancelled our reservation. (They were concerned because so many changes were made right before the cut off date) When we went ot rebook the original room was no longer available. We are now in room 2010. I'm ordering my goodies this week.

Glad to hear that people are doing well. Poohbush, hope your MIL gets some time to rest now that the first hard part is over.

Kaitlin'sMom/Karen, Is there a certain time you are looking to go horseback riding? I would love to tag along if I could. I was planning on doing either Nikki's or the Disney excursion with my sister but, she doesn't think she wants to ride.

Okay for now.

 

[KEH]

Carolyn,

The other Karen (Kaitlin's Mom - gosh this is confusing) is trying to book the riding but is having trouble getting a response from Nikki. Do you happen to have a number for her (Nikki, that is, not Karen)? I'm sure Rae posted the contact details a few pages back but I can't seem to find it now.

Emma did the Cozumel riding last year but is really keen to do it and Grand Cayman this time as this involves riding on a beach.

Karen

 

[rocadonismom]

Karen (KEH),

I have the number. Give me a second and I'll find it.

 

[rocadonismom]

Okay, here's all the contact info that I have for Nikki. Should I call her?

Nicole Eldemire (Nicki's Beach Rides)

(Nicki - nikiride@candw.ky)
(345) 945-5839 (home)
(345) 916-3530 (cellular)

 

[buzz&woody'smom]

Hi All-

So our final # is 42 TOT and we are waiting on the Nadtwins1 cabin number right?

Carolyn sorry for the trouble about the cancelled reservation I bet that made your heart miss a beat or two but so happy that you got an Category 9. The large porthole is cool

Poohbush, my prayers continue for your MIL and we all are keeping her close to our hearts.

I spoke with MIL last night who is going in my DH since he is gone right now (Marine) and she is excited. She has never been on a cruise let alone out of the country. I am so excited for her.

I think I have figured out our cruise clothes and will finish buying treats for the TOT tomorrow.

I keep seeing all of your count down clocks and can not believe this is upon us. This is my 3rd cruise since July so I am expecting to have a major vacation letdown after this one maybe just bad enough to book another

I am in a Category 8 and have been trying to get a Category 6 on deck 6 near my Mom's handicap cabin but no luck yet. I may try at the port but I "think" this sailing is full. If I change I will find someone to pass the word or post a sign on my cabin (5018) of the change. I don't think it is going to happen though but oh well we are near the 5-7 club for my son and that is cool.

Can't wait..........oh what is everyone doing in the ports. Here is what I think we are doing in thoughts or input would be awesome. I am trying to make this a laid back cruise. My DH and I did a 7 day CCL cruise in July before he left that hit 4 far western ports and it was like a water olympics so here it is for me, MIL, DS's 2.3 years old and DS 5 1/2. Not sure what my parents and my sister and her partner are doing:

Key West: Trolley and maybe Shipwreck or Aquarium.

Grand Cayman: Probably taxi to 7 mile beach or rent a car, hit the beach and turtle farm????

Cozumel: Taxi to Chakanab and some shopping.

Mickey's Beach AKA Castway Cay: Fun

[KEH]

You might want to check with Kaitlin's Mom about what time they had in mind before booking but I guess it would do no harm to call and see what availablilty they have.

Karen

 

[rocadonismom]

Okay, here's the deal. I called Nikki and put in a temp reservation for five people. She can take 6-7 per trip. I knew of me, my sister, Emma, Kaitlin's daughter, Karen (that belongs to Kaitlin). The only name listed so far is mine so no one is permanently signed up yet. I didn't want to commit everyone to it without actually talking to them.

Details that I got (didn't think to ask about price. Sorry.)
pick up at 9:00 Hard Rock Cafe
ride lasts about 9:30 - 11:00
return at 11:30
bring camera for photo opps
all riding levels
weight limit 230

Also Karen (KEH) we would need a release note from you that says Emma can go (since she is under 18)

I think this is all I know so far. Please let me know who is interested.

 

[KEH]

Thanks Carolyn. Emma is a definite please. Does Nicki have a standard release note or will something I type, sign and give to you do?

I am almost certain Karen and Marrisa will want to join you. She has had a lot going on I know with visitors one of whom has been in hospital but I wll PM her and see if she is okay with the plan.

How do you get to the Hard Rock? Taxi?

What happens about paying Nicki?

Once again, many thanks.

Karen

Tiff are count is at 41. I posted Nadtwins stateroom number 2 days ago on the list.
I've been moving the list up to the current page so that everyone could see it. I will keep moving the list along the way till the 22th of Oct.
I'll be taking a 2 day break Oct. 10 and 11 do go to Lynchburg Va.. Frito-Lay is sending my DH and myself to another Truckers Competition. We're leaving Ashley home this time with her "GiGi", godgrandmother. I love these all expense paid mini vacations.

Moving the list now.

I hope it's the boards moving slowly today and not my computer.

For my girl Tiff, I got some info. for you yesterday. I got into the Disney Travel Agents site and found that, info from yesterday now, Cat 4 has stateroom 8094 still available. I believe that there may be a few more in that Catagory but I didn't call DCL to find out. For Cat. 5 they were still offering 8 staterooms still available 7614,7616,7618,7526,7524,7522,7520 and 7118. For Cat. 6 they were oftering only 4 stateroom 6146,6148,5144,and 5148. Cat. 9 there were 8 being offered 2554,2552,2592,2598,2045,2600,2116,and 2522. That's as far as I went. There were still staterooms available in Cat. 10 and Cat 11. I couldn't get Cat. 1, 2, 3, or 12.

 

[KEH]

Just got an e-mail from Dreams who I had asked about our documents. Apparently they went out diretc from DCL yesterday and should be with us by the weekend. At least any passing UPS men will be safe for a couple of days as I won't be tempted to ambush them before Thursday!
