Aug. 21, 2004 Eastern Magic check in list

[Gayle17]

Thanks for sharing those photos Andy. I am sorry I missed it but will look foward to meeting everyone on the cruise.

Speaking of cruise - has anyone chosen their excursions for St. Thomas and Castaway Cay yet? Just curious what everyone is doing. This is my first cruise and I need advice as to which excursions are not worth doing.

DD wants to do the BBR again on CC. This time I will take my glasses off, I promise. I might even wear a pair of goggles so I don't get salt water splashed in my face. Haven't put much thought into other excursions, except maybe a walking tour through Old San Juan.

Did your t-shirt arrive Gayle?

 

[Gayle17]

No Andy the shirt didn't come yet. Did you send it to the new address? I put your check in the mail on Monday.

[jweiss]

Does any one know if there are any "Dolphin Experiences" in St. Thomas or San Juan??? Even if not listed on the DCL excursions??

I completely forgot you moved, I sent it to the Johnson Ave address, did you have your mail forwarded after your move? I do have my return address lable on the package just incase, if it comes back to me, I will send it back out to the proper address.

Andy,
I received the fax about the San Juan shore excursions. Thanks to both you and Sarah.

Not sure we are doing any excursions on San Juan as both Vicki and I have been there many times before.

I think we plan to go ashore for a bit of walking around Old San Juan and a tour of the fort.

That's kind of what I was leaning towards, I just have to check with the ladies of my group!!!

Hi jweiss! (neighbor!!)

Yes, I am in Concord near DeLaSalle High School. What a "small world" huh? Where are you located. FYI - Maleficent (Sarah) is also from the Bay Area but her family moved down to Southern California (right down the street from where I grew up basically) not too long ago and she still has family members up here as well.

Nope, you're not the only crazed disney nut in these neck of the woods! Ha Ha

Hi everyone ,

I will be sailing on the same with with DH, DD8 DS1 , my brother his family and two other families (total of 16)

I love reading the DIS

 

[yayasi]

Sorry pushed the wront buttons.

As I was writing

I love reading the DIS board. Everyone is so helpful.

I read that you will be meeting for Brunch at Palo. I wish I could have joined eveyone but my DH doesn't like the idea of leaving DS1 in Flounder. So convincing his to do RES was a job of it's own. But I'm planning on decorating my door so everyone know where we are staying. I think it's room 5016.

I had the pleasure of writing to Andy about post cards a while ago. Thanks again Andy, you're the best. Andy I live in the West Coast, so if you need help to send post cards from here I will be more than happy to help you.

Looking forwarding to meeting everyone

Claudia - yayasi

Hi all...I have been gone for a while. Work has been crazy busy and I haven't had time to chat with you all. How dare work interfere with my DIS addiction LOL

Welcome yayasi and welcome back jweiss! I am glad you are joining us!

Andy, I got the tshirts...Thank you so much. I FINALLY rememebred to drop your check in the mail. Sorry I have been a bit scatterbrained lately!!

I am so sorry that we couldn't make the DIS meet on Staurday,as it turned out the baseball games were rained out anyway, so we could have come up. It looks like everybody had a great time! I am looking forward to meeting you all in August.

As far as a DISmeet, I think we will all find each other in the terminal esp. if we are all wearing our really cool shirts!! The idea of after dinner on Sturday sounds good too..I am a night owl so that works for me...I am very easy going so whatever works, just let me know. The only thing we have planned definitely is on St. Thomas we are chartering a boat for the day. A great idea I got from on this board (Thanks Grumbo)!

I think in San JUan we are just going to walk around. Iwanted to go horseback riding my my DS is 7 so he isn't old enough to go. ANd the boat on ST. Thomas is a bit $$$ so there goes our excursion money but it is definitely going to be an experience. So since Mike has been to San Juan many times maybe he would be our personal tour guide???

I have missed all you guys...I feel so out of things. Hope everyone is doing well.

one last thing, I MADE MY FINAL PAYMENT TODAY!!!!! :thewave:

 

[Verandah Man]

I MADE MY FINAL PAYMENT TODAY!!!!!

Congrats Denise!!! Isn't that a GREAT feeling!!!

 

[DuncanLL]

We just made our final payment - let the games begin...

We're probably going to do the 5 Star Snorkle excursion in St. Thomas. We did that with the kids before and it was great for all of us. In San Juan, we're leaning toward the rainforest excursion. How often do we have the opportunity to take the kids to see a real rainforest.

Has anyone seen any official word from DCL about free soda now available at the beverage station? That would be great if it's true!

School and baseball/softball are winding down. Time will fly this summer, I hope.

Linda

 

[denise5374]

Yes it is really cool that the final payment is made!!

Our LL season is winding down too, unless DD gets selected for all-star tournament in which case it will be through the end of July(if the team does well!!) School is also winding down, DD had her 5th grade graduation yesterday and made Honor Roll for the first time!! Next Weds we are leaving for Vermont for 4 days, nice place to get away from it all!!

Summer will fly by now!!! Pretty soon we will be meeting up with Mike and family on the Auto Train!!

Whats that about Free Soda??
