August 20, 2005 - L.A. to Port Canaveral - Eastbound Repo Cruise - The SHIP OF FOOLS Part 2

[mark & sandra]

Hello all, We'll be heading to the airport in about 6 hrs. I'm in charge of waiting until after midnight to print out our boarding passes. Kids are both healthy again, Sandy had a root canal/ temp. crown this morning, and I set up my workload for my employees for the week. Is it just me or is your second cruise a lot less stressful then the first?? I don't have that nagging feeling that I'm forgeting something. I will try to remember about your online meet Sat. night at 9:00pm. That last time was fun, since it was my first chat session I've nothing to compare it to. I'll need to try it a little drunk while onboard!! (I'll skip the naked part). Anyone want anything measured while I'm onboard??(Melinda)

I have continued to keep your family in my prayers. I am not surprised that you have decided to cancel the cruise. We will miss you! Keep in touch and let the fools know how you are doing from time to time.

God Bless!
Roxann

Have a wonderful trip Mark!

We just got back from seeing Cathy Rigby in Peter Pan, and it was wonderful! This was the kids' first professional play and it was fun to see them enjoying it. When Peter implored the audience to believe in fairies, even DD12 was clapping as loudly as possible! (so was I)

Bon Voyage, Skippy! Errr... Mark!

Lynda & Mike - we are very sorry we won't get a chance to meet you, but totally understand you decision.

Believe it or not, they still manufacture and sell those fake cigarettes. I know, I was floored too!

I was at an outlet mall this past weekend. One of those deals where everything is supposed to be a great deal because it didn't sell well in the store but where, in reality, you wouldn't want to buy any of the stuff anyway and the prices are not that "great." At any rate, we went in a store and found the fake cigarettes.

When I was little I remember two kinds. The candy kind (they were white with a dab of red paint on the end and came in a flip-top box) and the gum kind that had real paper wrappers and when you blew through them a puff of white powder came out.

The ones we found were the gum kind. We got some strange looks as we browsed through the rest of the mall puffing away at those fake cigarettes. No one actually told us we couldn't "smoke" in the store but I think a few people were ready to.

Lynda and Mike,

We understand how difficult a decision this was. We are sorry you won't be with us in person, but you will be there in our hearts.

Tracy and Bill

 

[Denise W]

Thank you for telling us your decision, and we all understand, but are disappointed we will not get to meet you. I hope the healing has started, if only a little.

Denise and Peter (Jazzman)

 

[mickeyfan1]

Lynda and Mike, I too will miss meeting you on the ship. The pain will lessen in it's own time, the healing will also. You two are going through something most of us can not even imagine. I hope that with each day your heart will become a bit more full with good memories and that those memories will ease the pain.

 

[gassmandy]

Lynda and Mike--so sorry you won't be going but totally understand. You are always in my prayers.
So excited that we'll still going to meet Andy and Hazel!
Have my room booked at Hojo's for the 16th-20th. We get into LAX at about 9:30 am. So we'll be at the hotel early the 16th. So excited to meet everyone and how nice to be able to meet a lot of the FOOLS prior to boarding.
I will hopefully be sending a pic. of Addison, Heather, and me to Three Circles site soon. I took one of the 3 of us on Christmas but Addison wasn't looking at the camera and got all squirmy so we didn't get another one. But Heather is baby-sitting her tomorrow so my DH and I can go to the movies and dinner so I will get a pic. of the 3 of us then.........!!!
Mark and Sandra and fam---have a blast!!!!!!!!

 

[rsschneck]

I sent you a PM. I would like to find out what those shore excursions are!

Thanks so much!

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

Mel,

I sent a reply to your PM, but your box is full! Have a good one, and I'll resend it when we get home from our weekend! (Just "chatting" in the PM. )

Hugs,

Barbara

(Take care Ship of Fools buddies!!!)

OMG!

Did they have the powdered candy in them so that when you blew out it made it look like real smoke!LOL

Sorry, am a bit giddy!

I just told my boss, sort of, that our next vacation is going thru the Panama Canal with Disney! He asked how long, I said two weeks! I still have to tell him about the other 1/2 week!LOL I don't know if this registered with him since he was heading out the door to meet with his Real Estate Agent!

Mel ~ you had mentioned earlier about the DCL Site, yes it has changed! I went to check on the status of a March 2006 and when I could not get my ressie I had to phone DCL!
