April 17, 2004 -- anyone going with us?

[RobinMarie]

Linda -
Pepe's and Sally's are the big pizza spots but I am not sure who has the world's best tiramisu. I prefer Pepe's pizza though you can't go wrong on Wooster Street. Stop by Libby's if you go to Wooster Street for an Italian Ice or Italian Pastry!

I told my daughter how many 6 year old little girls are going and she is VERY excited. She is hoping everyone brings a princess dress!

Okay Rae I'll do the water if I get 10 extra shrimp...

Pixie Dust to Taylor for her, going to be fantastic, performance.

M& C King-- I would (actually my DH would) complain LOUDLY! That isn't the way Disney should be handling this.

We got 7 inches too and there had better not be any on Thursday night. I have had enough snow for this winter and next.

Linda-- laughed when I read that Taylor plays the music from Phantom on her flute. Our Jen took piano for almost 15 years and played Music of the Night at her graduation recital. I loved the song the first 10 or so times but then it began to get really old. At least Taylor plays the flute. Jen played the violin which wasn't too bad. But those bagpipes...

Dog and treadmill are calling so talk to you all later. Estelle

Linda if you are still looking for someone to do the brunch with, my DH and our friends and myself would love to have you join us. We haven't really decided which day we are going to get the ressie for.
As I said we got 7 inches now they say we might get another inch or two either Thursday night or Friday night. Or both. And then they casually mention that it will be 50 or better on Saturday. Here we go again, mud city and high water. Maybe we could convince Disney to bring the Magic up here. She could sail in on the Delaware. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Talk to you all later. Estelle

Estelle~ LOL! So it's not just me! After 10 times or so, it gets on my nerves. Taylor plays beautifully, but like you said it gets old... Bagpipes- wow! That takes alot of wind- eerily beautiful .... Tay started to play the steel drums too this past fall. Her School has an awesome program. She plays the double seconds. Last Nov. one of the steel drum guys on the ship let her play a little on his and gave her some good tips- it was cute. He was blown away that a girl, let alone a white one had an interest in playing them... ( his words )He was just was so surprised & pleased about it. I guess it is unusual. She hopes he's still there in April, so she can show him how much better she's gotten on them! Thank god she doesn't practice at home...

Thanks for the brunch invite- that's very sweet of you! I'll check in with you at Port. I'll look for your Hawaii Mickey Shirt!

Boy sounds like the 6yr. old girls are going to have a blast! Definitely do Tea with Wendy- get ressies early. It's a real pinkies up event! Bring those Princess dresses! So cute!

They are saying another 5 inches of snow for us tomorrow night! The azure blue Carib waters can't come soon enough!!

Hi all!

Going to be on the safe side and give the dining room head server a 24 people count for Lumieres. PLEASE do not feel obligated to come if you change your mind. This is just a fun meet and eat for us, no pressure involved!

I would advise to have name tags on - just because some of us (ME in particular) have a very poor memory and don't want to insult anyone by forgetting a name!!

We are also meeting up on Deck 10 MidShip Starboard Side for the SailAway Party - again, a good idea to have a name tag on along with your wildest tropical shirt/dress!!

Got the okay for the 3-H's (horses, hot tub and hubby) from the Surgeon yesterday. Of course, it's snowy/rainy/windy and cold - go figure!

Ohhh, it's family get together - which I always think is better than just the adults getting together!!! IF your teens, children, toddlers or infants would rather not come, don't force them - it's totally up to them (and you)! The more the merrier!!

Linda-- The bagpipes was school too. One of our high schools in Bethlehem has a huge band patterned on Her Majestys' Grenadier Band. They have performed in Great Britain and Scotland. The year Jen was a Freshman they left Easter afternoon for 10 days in England and Scotland. Jen was a member of the pipe corps. We did not go along. When I voiced an interest in going as a tagalong my husband looked at me like I had lost my mind and said..."You want to go to England with 180 teenagers? Are you nuts?"
The pipes do make for interesting conversations. And the cats hated them. She didn't usually play the actual pipes at home. They get chanters to practice on. Of course the first weekend she actually had the pipes she had to try them out. So she took them into the garage to try and see what they would sound like. Should have seen our next door neighbor come shooting out of his house, trying to figure out what the awful noise was.
Rae-- You aren't the only one with short hair. Had mine cut yesterday. Very short. Family all going it'll take getting used to. I love it no stuff to have to take with me for my hair except a comb. Of course now that it is so short we're going to have more snow tonight. Not fair. Off to check out the mail. Talk to you later. Estelle

Good morning everyone! It's four weeks today for our fabulous cruise!

 

[lsutigger2]

So, I'm not the only one who gets up early on Saturdays!!

And another Good Morning to everyone !

Haven't had much time to look at or post here, but I've been reading just a little bit to keep up with the news!

Four weeks sounds great!

Time to get the day started.

Hope everyone has a great one!

 

[Luv2Dream]

Ah, yes, Janie, another beautiful day. Well, at least at the moment. The sun is shining and it's 24 degrees. A regular heat wave.....

We were up at 5:50 this morning. It's Mary's 7 th birthday today and she is quite excited. We have a bowling party for 16 kids at 1 pm. Can you say.......

 

[lsutigger2]

Please tell Mary to have a great day!!

Tell her I'll have a surprise for her (and the other "kids") when we get on the ship.

Weather has been great: highs in the 80's and clear blue skies!
It is spring in Louisiana - the flowers are all in bloom and the trees have fresh green growth!

Watch out for flying bowling balls!

 

[RobinMarie]

Happy Birthday Princess Mary!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY!!!

And a spoonful of Pixie Dust for your Mom! I did that kind of party only we did Chuckie Cheese. It was for the youngest now about to be 24. But we still talk about the party where her older sisters male friends had to search the mens' room when we lost one of the little boys. Turned out that his father was in the place and the kid was with him. A little scary. Of course we laugh about it now.
People who have blooming flowers are just not fair...LOL Up here we have blooming snow. Got about 4 inches more on Thursday night. Of course it turned into nothing much really since it was bright and sunny all day on Friday. There are a couple of school districts with red faces. They closed for the day on Friday because we were going to be getting all this snow. Now those kids have to make up a day in June or at Easter.
Actually my crocus' are up about 3 inches. Can just see them above the snow.
Am taking the youngest to the market with me and then going to be ironing the last of the laundry. Then tomorrow I can start all over again. Also have to start a packing list and an official Taylor this is what we are doing schedule. Talk to you all later. Estelle

Happy Belated Birthday!

Mom and I took off on a mini retreat - we went up to East Chicago and spent the evening at Trumps Casino! We did very well and had a wonderful time! Spent the night at the Trump Hotel and came back on Saturday. Just a very nice get away for both of us. My Saturn got 50 mpg - I did the math by hand and by calculator to verify it. I am still in shock over that!!
With gas prices here at $1.78, that was a very nice surprise!

Hugs to all,
Still no documents -
Rae

Mary was very pleased to be wished so many birthday wishes from around the country. She had a great birthday celebration and mom actually survived ! Just think, we'll be on a "day at sea" four weeks from today !

 

[klStacker]

Luv2Dream - Rachel wanted me to wish Mary a happy birthday. Her 7th birthday is tomorrow. They're practically twins! She's looking forward to meeting her new friends.

We got our docs today! We haven't heard from Disney about our REAS package that we booked. Does anyone know if they will be calling us to schedule Palo, etc. or should I call them?

 

[rae519]

Call tomorrow to get your Palo and spa ressies - call DCL and ask for the Dining Coordinator Debbie. When I called her last week, she told me that my letter had gone out Monday - that was a week ago and I still don't have the letter- so don't wait!!!

I haven't gotten my documents yet......anyone else without????
