I used to check out Zebra around 1980 at the Mad Hatter. Thought they would make it big. We live in Southampton now. My husband is 17 years older than I and has never heard of Zebra!

WOW!!! The Mad Hatter - I remember that place! Well, they did make it big for a while - they cut 3 albums with Atlantic Records back in the 80's! It's hard to believe that they are still playing out every now and again as they all are in their early 50's now. Randy is still on top of his game - his vocals are just as good as they were 25 yrs. ago. Your hubby doesn't know what's he's missing!!!!

BUMP! Just trying to keep the thread alive!

Does this mean the boat will be empty?

Hey everyone!

Thought I'd post this link to a great website that gives great deals on some KW adventures and are much cheaper than DCL. I've used them 2 years in a row for some of the excursions and they are top notch! And, DCL doesn't offer some of the excursions they have.

Click on Key West and check out what they have! DH and I are thinking about doing a sunset cruise or the dolphin adventure!

 

[pwgs]

Very Cool

thanks will check them out!

Thanks Gina. I wish we were going this month instead of next year. I am excited to meet everyone.

Welcome to all our new families! Our little group is slowly becoming not so little anymore!

Angie...my DD 7 is an Emily as well!

Gina: We were thinking of doing the dolphin adventure as well...it looks pretty cool. I am at a loss for the group Zebra...are we talking 80's? I am sure my husband will know them. In what capacity did you work for them...how cool is that!

Happy April all.......

MIchelle,
Emily will be thrilled to know that. My Emily will actually be turning 7 the day after we leave the boat-April 27. We were looking at someone's blog of their little girl getting their hair braided. I'm sure my little princess will be up for that!!

As far as the signs that people put on their stateroom doors, can someone tell me an example of what they have seen or done in the past. It sounds like a cute idea but have no idea what to do.

Thanks,
Angie

Angie: My Emily will have just turned 7 in January 08. I am assuming that your daughter will be in first grade also at time of trip.

We were supposed to cruise for her 6th birthday this year, but she got sick and we had to cancel...Can you say "Thank GOD for trip insurance" and we were able to rebook for the 3/3/07 sailing and had a blast. Emily got her hair braided while we were on board in March. She loved them and would have liked to keep them forever if I had let her! I have photos I could share, but I don't know how to post them...also, there is a "what does your DCL door sign look like" thread as well to show you what other's door signs look like. I don't know how to insert a link for that either.


Anyhow, until I learn to do a link...here is the address for the link..you can cut and paste it the old fashioned way!..who knows..perhaps when I submit this reply, it will come up as a link...Here goes!

Does anybody else know how to do a photo or a link? Thanks in advance for the tutoring.


Ciao for now!
Michelle

 

[Tinkified]

well, the link worked....1 out of 2 skills down....

Can anyone show me how to do a photo? And while we are at it...how bout a signature thingy?

Ciao for Now
Michelle

The best way to do pics in my opinion is using http://photobucket.com/

Signing up is free and you can upload quite a few images. It pretty much walks you through it from there but basically it gives you text to copy and paste into your message or siganture that works on the boards. The images stay in place as long as you need them as far as I can tell. I have never had any problems.

Hope it works for you. Maybe it will help make the time go faster until next year if you can post images on DIS!

Sounds like you're daughter is close to the same age as our kids so I'm sure we will spend time in the same places (kids club, and Mickey pool) next April.

Hey Tink, I am sorry to say that I have no idea how to do the pics on here. My DH did the one we have here now and I am clueless. For my regular pics I always download to Shutterfly. Photobucket, snapfish, Kodak, etc. , any one works well.

 

[pwgs]

This is the thread that helped me post pics and with the signature.
Good Luck!

Hi everybody.
I have to ask a favour.Does someone have any experience with Delta Airlines.Good or bad.It´s somewhat difficult to find a decent connection from Europe to Orlando and Delta seems to be ok timewise.We have the choice of going through New York or Atlanta.To get a good rate I`D have to book next month and right now I´m clueless. Any tip would be highly appreciated.
And i hope all of you have a great Easter weekend.
Take care

Greetings Conny!

Hope I can help with your question. DH and I 9 out of 10 times ALWAYS fly Delta. We've been using them for many, many years and have had always had a great experience with them. As a matter of fact, we are using them for our trip to WDW this May. Keep in mind that they are in Chapter 11 and their telephone reps don't quite seem as top notch as they have been in the past, but I am still confident in their service. I have also flown Jet Blue to FLA - not bad either. Good Luck!

Michelle:

It does look pretty cool doesn't it? I also like the fact that the dolphins are in their own environment and not trained. I think that would be such a cool experience. I've done a dolphin swim at the Living Seas a few years ago. THAT was great -it was something I had always wanted to do. This would just magnify the experience. I really should have been a marine biologist - I've always had a love for water and certain sea creatures!

Yes, Zebra is from the 80's. They cut 3 albums on Atlantic records back in the day. I sell merch (t-shirts etc.) at their shows and my DH is their webmaster. That's our hobby; managing bands, merch, doing band websites etc. - music is a huge part of who we are. We do have regular day jobs!! Working for a national act band has been a blast - afforded us to be to have met some really cool people.

Looking forward to meeting you and everyone!

Gina

Ditto for me - BELIEVE ME!!!
