Aug. 21, 2004 Eastern Magic check in list

[Colestat]

We have only been on the 3 day Wonder and I don't remember this.

What is a customs event or an immigration check in? And why, since we are going to St. Thomas do we not have one.

 

[Verandah Man]

On the regular 7 day Eastern the first port of call in St. Maarten (a non US port), when arriving at St. Thomas (a US port) eveyone on the ship must pass an immigration check, which happens to be VERY EARLY in the morning. I had to have 5 women up by 6:30am on our cruise last August. With our cruise this coming August, our first port of call is St. Thomas, and since we will be leaving form Cape Canaveral, we will not have to have an immigration check.

I get it. Thank you.

Now who said I had anything to do with mailing out postcards???

The DIS boards have the "Tag Fairy" and the San Juan Sojourners have the "Postcard Fairy". Thank you Postcard Fairy! It is so nice to get something in the mail besides BILLS!!

How many of you are planning on going to the DIS meet in NJ in June?

Creditman, you daughter and mine "talked" on Saturday. Brittany now wants to know why we aren't DVC members

Too funny, Denise. We are going to the NJ Dis meet. It would be great if you guys came. Kristin would go wild if Brittany was going to be there.

Hazel, Angelina and I will be at the NJ DISmeet. We are just across the river from Philly, and the Victorian Manor is 70 miles from our house. I already printed the directions off of Mapquest. I think we will have a blast at the NJ DISmeet.

 

[Colestat]

We got a postcard too!! Thanks again Andy!!

I am bummed we can't make the NJ Dismeet. But I am very looking forward to meeting all of you on the cruise.

Hi Everyone!
I just found my way over to this thread. My family and I will also be sailing on August 21 (can't wait!!!). This will be our first 7 day cruise. Sailing will be myself, DH, DD Rachel(9) and DD Mallory(11 months).

My DD Rachel asked me if she could "meet" any other kids her age on this sailing. She is very friendly and outgoing and just loves meeting people--adults and kids alike.

Please send me an email if your DDs would like to make a friend before we sail.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Mary

Hi Mary,

I do have you on the 8-21-04 San Juan Sojourners cruise list, but I don't remember asking you if you would like a San Juan Sojourners door magnet that you can put on your frig. I made plenty of these so that every family could have one. In fact, we have one on our frig, and a second one I have taped to the front of my computer monitor. Hey, we sail away 5 months from today. If you think your DD's would like to receive a DCL postcard regarding our upcoming cruise, I can take care of that as well. Just let me know.

Andy

Five months from today,
we sail away!!!

If anyone on the 8-21-04 cruise would like to be added to the San Juan Sojourners e-mail list, please send me your e-mail address. We did this for our cruise last August, and it worked out very nice. Many DIS'ers felt like they knew one another before the cruise even started. It also helped to break the ice and some of the children got to meet other new friends before the cruise. I do have a few e-mail addresses already to start the list.
