Hi Everyone,

Just checking in.

Hope everyone had a great holiday.

I've been busy planning an Alaskan cruise for July 2007. We are going to Alaska for my neice's wedding so I figured the best way to see the state would be a cruise. That cruise will just be me and my 3 girls.

Have a happy New Year!!

Jen

I just made a payment too, and DH will be making another this week! He originally wanted me to pick out a digital camera. I have been wanting a pocket size one to carry around in my purse. I have the Rebel XT but it's big and not something you can always carry around. I told him I'd rather wait on the camera though until closer to cruise date (when I *really* want a smaller one to take on excursions, etc. No way I want to lug the Rebel around) and asked him to make a payment instead in the amount that he would have spend on the camera! So after his payment, we'll have our cruise halfway paid for (well, almost!) It's a good feeling!

my name is not Jen but I have the Digital Rebel. Here's a link: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=11154 I have it in black though, not silver! I really love it but it's a pain to lug around all day! We go to Disneyland so much that I don't even take the camera anymore 9 out of 10 times. I really want a pocket size one for the cruise, because I just don't want to carry that bulky Rebel around, esp. on shore! I was torn between the Powershot SD900 and the Powershot SD800 IS but now I am going to wait until maybe next Christmas. Paying off the cruise is more important for the moment!

so now that it's been pretty much confirmed that the Magic is going to be in CA for the summer of 2008, how many of you will rebook?

I was waiting to see if the Magic would do 7 day Eastern/Western in the summer, and I might have considered switching since the kids would be out for summer break, but I am not going to go for the Mexico cruises. I am just not into Mexico so much, probably since we have been there several times already! And I *really* want to go to Castaway Cay!

My DH thinks I'm nuts, since we live in Southern California and are only about an hour from the Port of L.A., so we'd save a ton on airfare, hotel, rental car, but I don't care!

The only thing I would be interested in would be a repo cruise, and there is just no way I can justify taking the kids out of school for 2 weeks!

We're staying with this cruise. We chose the date not because it was the last one available, but because we found our cruise in late March to be too cool, and in mid may to be too warm, so we thought late April would be just right. Also, the 28th is our 6th anniversary, so that's a big plus in our book.

Squeeeeeeee!
We got our cabin number in our latest letter from Costco. Hoping, as one always does, for an upgrade, but we are currently listed as cabin #6580

Joy!

Hi Kids! Just letting you know (in case you haven't been following all the rumors on the boards) that DCL is supposed to announce the rest of the 2008 schedule on Jan 17th, with bookings beginning Jan 31.

IF I can afford it, I'll probably be switching to the eastbound FL to CA repositioning cruise through the Panama Canal!

cool, I am happy for you! I wish we could swing a repo cruise, that would be the ONLY CA related cruise I'd be interested in since it still stops at Castaway Cay! However, since we have school aged kids, there is just no way!

Hi,

Today my dd and I went to Ritz Camera and finally developed the 300 pictures from our cruise in March.

It got us so excited about 2008.

we have family in Orlando and they said the weather in April/May is perfect, not yet humid like it would be in the summer month! That's a HUGE plus for me, since I can't stand the humidity!!

Have you been to the Target store in your area to check to see if the $1 section had any pirate items?

I went to my Target today and they didn't have any.

Did it snow out your way today? It snowed at my house - it just didn't stick. Hasn't snowed in our neighborhood since 1989.

no, but it sure is COLD!!! It's in the low 40's right now at 3pm! Yikes! It usually doesn't even get that cold at NIGHT! It's also raining some, so I wouldn't be a bit surprised if we got snow tonight if the rain continues!

Haven't been to Target in a few days, but maybe I'll go and check to see if they have any $1 pirate stuff. They usually have a pretty big $1 selection at my Target, I got a bunch of stuff there for stocking stuffers at Christmas, it was great! I am not working tomorrow, so I can go without the kids!
