Only have gotten a handful of PMs or emails from folks staying at HI and wanting to participate in a DIS meet ... thought I'd pop in with another post/reminder :teeth:

We are staying @ HI before the cruise. However, we do not arrive until midnight. I am sure most folks will be sleeping by then. See everyone at breakfast! pirate:
 
Hi all,

Hope this finds everyone from the Ship of Fools doing great!

I’ve been lurking a little, but we’ve had a really busy week. A teacher at my school is in a coma from a heart attack with no higher-level brain functioning…he is only 52 and was fit and healthy. I feel so sad for his family. It reminded me that this is yet another reason for all of us to enjoy each and every minute, including our cruise together. You never know what tomorrow may bring.

At the beginning of the week, I walked back and forth in pouring rain here in the usual sunny CA to get my students to and from their classrooms. Our playground between the classes was flooded! You should see all the pot-holes in our roads…they’d better be fixed before your arrive in August!

This week, we’ve been going to all the presentations for high school and programs in our district for our ds. It is a new adventure for us.

Most importantly, our dd turns 10 next week, and we are leaving for San Diego on Friday to take her to Sea World for the weekend! We are taking her best friend along too. She requested this versus a party. My baby will soon be in the double digits!!!

Of course, I am getting ready for her actual bday too. We will bring pizza and drinks for her class on her birthday. She is also getting her ears pierced on Monday. Guess we’re really celebrating the big 10. Whew!

Thanks to my Sisters for reading this, and you LooneyHOODs just don’t say anything thank you very much!!! I needed to get my “words” out for the day, LOL!

So, you all take good care, and I’ll see ya’ next week sometime! Be good or at least be good at it, lol!!! (I’m thinking of our D & N drinking parties…Ha! Ha! Ha!)

Okay, I don't keep up. Do I need to send a check for transportation from the port to MCO ?
No plan have yet been finalized, so no money needs to be sent yet. Here's a copy of my last e-mail from Mears Transportation on 1/10/05. I will finalize all the details when I return next Sat.


Hello Mark,

I will be glad to go ahead and book this service for you. I will need your address and phone number, and a fax number (if you have it) to go ahead and book the services. Do you only need the transportation for September 3rd or will you also need transportation to the Port?

Please feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have. Once I get your contact information from you, I will confirm your services.

Thank you,

Melissa Ennis

Mark, Sandra, and kids - HAVE A WONDEFUL CRUISE THIS COMING WEEK!!!
Have fun, relax, drink some of the good stuff, eat, eat, and eat...and then come back and tell us all about it!!!
You deserve this vacation!!!!!!!
Barbara, Brian, & kids

Thanks Barbara- We hope this cruise is as much an enjoyment as our last one, but not as fun as our next one!!

Sorry to hear about the teacher in your school. I hope for the best. I know what you mean about treasuring every moment. It's one of the ways I justify taking my kids out of school for vacation.

Life's hard enough, living shouldn't be a burden!!
 
Inspired by Mom2Belle&PeterPan-

"Paradox of Our Time"

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.


We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.


We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.


We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.


These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.


Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Mark have a great time on the Magic! Save some money though and don't check into the Sisterhood thread, we need a break :earboy2:

Great words of wisdom too.

Congrats on getting the time off Patty! Now all you have to do is join us in waiting for August. Of course, time goes pretty fast when you have as much fun as this group does. :)

I'm also flying in on the 18th but have a morning flight from TPA.
 
Enjoy the cruise Mark. You deserve it after working so hard to provide such a wonderful lifestyle for Sandra and the kids. Two Disney cruises in a year. What a wonderful husband and father you are.
It never ceases to amaze me how great the guys are on here to their families.
Thank God Doris doesn't read here so I can get away this chauvinistic crap ;)

Cheers,
Grumbo

Hey Mark...Have fun! You can tell us what a 14 day cruise is like...just stay awake for 7 days straight, and it will feel like 14!
 
:jumping4: Have a great trip Mark & Sandra :jumping4:
 
Welcome Ladypoo ! :love: Don't forgot to link with EileenamI for late seating :flower1:


Well - have transportation to LA & Karmel Shuttle picking us up at Long Beach on the 17th. We should be at our hotel (HoJo's) by 11:00 AM - then planning to head over to DL (Not sure if I i will be picking up our 3 day park hoppers prior to getting there).

I figure we will spend one day a DL & one a DCA and the remaining day doing our favorite rides again. If the parks are open til Midnight; are both parks open that late & do they do two evening shows of Fantasmic & Electrical Light Parade ?

The DL website has a sale on hoppers right now, adult pays kids price. I didn't look any closer than that since I won't be dropping in this time, but it looked like a deal!

I forgot to check the park hours or the parades. I love the ELP, it is so fun. I still haven't seen Fantasmic at DL, both times I was there it was not on, guess one of these days I will have to go and watch it!
