Here we see a picture of a member of "The Sisterhood" keeping in shape for their upcoming battle. I can't tell if that's Melinda or Janet.

Actually, this is Mark trying to infultrate us!

Be Careful of anyone resembling this picture!

Good morning everyone. I got Marks PM about the DISmeet and signed up. Sounds like a lot of fun. I have been so busy since our cruise a couple of weeks ago that I haven't even checked this thread. Man, am I ever totally lost now. It doesn't take much to lose....even one day and you are lost. Oh well, hope everyone is doing great. Anything I missed??

 

[Denine]

Sandy: Why is it I am always posting after you?

Hey everyone. I haven't been here in a while. It has just been too busy and something had to give. I will check in from time to time. I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Great minds work in the same direction, Denine.

 

[JackJack]

First of all, Rachel will be our Cruise Director for the Repo cruise...I don't know her, does anyone know her? (i know Jackie and Kara)

Ok, I WILL be able to link the dining ressies and they will be able to accomadate it, they sounded very positive!!! ...but here is the thing...I have to have all the confirmation #...so they can link em together....

You can start e mailing me at Bmwdsny@rcn.com

I will not do anything else with it other than calling in and simply link the early dining ressies...

if you have any concerns, e mail me....

Going to the 8:30 show in a few minutes..

Also Bob (Izzi) PM me and he had trouble posting so i am going to copy word for word on the other thread....I hate this set up too ,,,i can't copy and paste it..I don't know if it this computer on the ship or Disboards that is preventing me from it....

Later....

 

[ivanova]

it's the PCs on the ship giving you heartache, not the disboards

Melinda,

I just sent you an email.

Reneé

 

[Luv2Dream]

Melinda, so did I.

 

[mark & sandra]

Melinda's busy copying down all the pm's and e-mails she's getting while onboard and she's very frustrated at not being able to copy/paste. Along comes another cruiser and asks her to please hurry up and....

 

[mark & sandra]

Did you ever wonder what Melinda doesn't get to do with all her time spent posting??

 

[mark & sandra]

Hey Grumbo or Jazzman- In regards to the special promotion offered in the JGE Spa Circular- Is the pedicur charged by the foot or toe??

 

[Bmwdsny]

Did you ever wonder what Melinda doesn't get to do with all her time spent posting??

OH SHUT UP!!!! I do plenty, beleive me...Keep it up or i ignore all of you!!! LOL!!
Besides, i told you i am shy...I am not very big on carrying conversation with people esp in loud noise areas!!

I am taking a break from the Trop deck party now...Kids still in the clubs and Bob is talking to who knows who?? Beleive it or not, this is a very very quiet cruise. I am enjoying it because i know i am in for it the next cruise!!!

Anyway, more facts about Repo Cruise.
spoke to Cruise director, Kara...She said, Captain Tom is the Cap. for the Repo cruise. He is very very excited about it.

When the ship gets ready for Panama, they have to move those yellow life boats in more into the deck..It is sticking out too much outside the ship when going thru the canal. Also, there is only less than 1 feet on each side to manuever when going thru...YIKES!!!!

Ok, finish posting,,,i am missing out too much now because i am too post obsessed like some people say...

BTW, Thanks again, Arlene for the beautiful door sign. couple of people mentioning about it already esp. newbie cruisers.

Good night!!!

Wow, it may be a little freaky to see the walls of the locks that close to my window! Keep pumping them for information and passing it on!

Enjoy that warm weather Melinda! It's about 10 degrees here in Denver, going down to -2 tonight, brrr. I know that Grumbo sent it down here, they said on the news that it's a Canadian cold front.

Hey Mark, isn't that a "before" pic of the room that Clean Sweep did at your house?? Or was it the "after"?

 

[ivanova]

Hey I plan on touching the side of the locks from my verandah

 

[DenverVal]

I would too if the porthole would open!

 

[ivanova]

I would too if the porthole would open!

Aw, you just gotta suck up to one of the other FOOLS on the ship that has a verandah (or do it from deck 4 or 9)

FACTOID FOR THE MONTH!

Crossing the Isthumus of Panama via a canal had been a dream since the onset of Spanish colonization. Even so, it was the French that first attempted to creat a 51-mile path between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, and the United States that would ultimately complete the Panama Canal. It took over 10 years, more than $352 million and roughly 80,000 people to contruct this waterway, which save nearly 8,000 miles of travel. When the Panama Canal opened for world commerce on August 15, 1914, it represented the achievement of a heroic dream that was more than 500 years in the making. A transit through the Canal is an experience not to be missed, bringing passengers up close to one of the most incredible engineering wonders in the world. And on its 90th Anniversary, it's a wonder that continues to stand the test of time.
