Hey Amanda, the "new" art isn't on cafe press yet, so if you want to wait untill the gray box goes away...........................I don't know when John will have the new art done, Susan was going to ask him about it last night (after 11pm our time!).

 

[gassmandy]

No problem--I can wait. I may wait to buy them for a few months so I don't start wearing them

Lisa,

What flight do you have on JetBlue -- My sister & I are flying out on 8/17 - 7:05 flight from JFK.

Just wondering.... since I am assuming you are going to fly out of JFK too.

 

[Lisa F]

Hey, we will be flying out on the 8:30 flight after much argument back and forth. It boiled down to the fact that to make the 7am flight we'd have to get up at about 4am, 5:30 for the 8:30 flight. But if I knew, maybe we could've split a shuttle over to DL or something. Darn. And from Yonkers, woo! We are sort of distant neighbors, we're in southern dutchess.

Okay those in the Northeast anyone besides me notice the upcoming forecasts? According to what I saw we are getting SNOW big time. Tomorrow night and then a large Noreaster Sunday into Monday. Jsut what we have all been waiting for more snow. Phooey!!!

DH, the great lurker, said I should have mentioned when talking about running the car heater for hours (to dry out car) that the air conditioner should be on too. Takes out the humidity.

I just got back from picking my sister up from the airport. She got me and DH hats from the Daytona 500 with Mickey on them. Looks like the packing for our cruise has begun!

 

[RobinMarie]

and we booked a 3 night stay at the HoJo (in my newfound ability to search for posts instead of just threads I discovered that is the place to be)
I pm'd Bob but does anyone know if there is still room on the bus of HoJo fools to the port?

I'm not sure about the bus situation, hope you can squeeze in!

You are definitely right about HOJO being the place to be! Can't wait!

Ha! It's the second place to be, right behind the HISP!!!!!

This weather is odd, it snowed last night, but all that melted off becasue the sun was shining brightly. Then it started snowing agin, it looked like a blizzard, huge flakes of snow pouring down. For 10 minutes. Then sun, a few more flakes, and again sun right now. I hope we do not get any more, DH is due in at 5 on Thursday and has to fly to San Diego Sunday, and HATES when he may be delayed.

Went to the bank and cashed some 3 survey checks, 2 rebate checks, and a stock dividend check. Another 76.03 to go into the cash for the cruise envelope. Every little bit helps.

Izzibob the Bus Cap'n here! We have room for a couple more. I'll send Lisa a PM with the details! Got a few slackers ($$$$) who I need to send friendly reminders. See, kmiles, you weren't even close to last!!!

Lisa, did you find the post that gives our group the discounted HoJo rate? If not, it is www.hojoanaheim.com/mouseinfo/ You can make reservations there and cancel your other ones if you didn't get this savings.

Oopsie! I knew there was something else I have to pay, I just couldn't remember what it was....If it's not written down, I don't remember it. I'll write the check tonight and mail it tomorrow. Sorry!

 

[Denine]

COld, but sunny today. It did snow this morning.

I am still undecided about the hep A shots.

I felt that way Marsha til I got two suites at Residence Inn Garden Grove, near DLR for $49.00 per night with Hotwire!!!! I tried for three but all sold out, so we'll use the two as there is an extra bedroom. Place looked OK on the website.

Cheers,
Grumbo

 

[mickeyfan1]

Another great bargain, Grumbo. You need to hang out on the Budget board! I stayed at a RI the last time I went to DL, it was very nice, new, clean, had a pool, free shuttle to the park. I am sure you will enjoy it! Guess that means you get your lanyard on the ship!

G,

Have you checked out betterbidding.com? I found that site very helpful when planning a big on hotwire. I prefer biddingfortravel.com for priceline.

 

[dan and scott]

Ok what time is chat tonight? I really have nothing better to do now, Scott is on his way to Pittsburgh for a conference-Fantasia and I are here all alone. Wish someone could come cook me supper (MEL????)

Bye for now.

Dan

 

[dan and scott]

Ok I just called our health department and I was told that no shots were needed for our trip! She stated that if we were getting off the ship overnight while in the canal then we would need one-but not to both with just cruising through!

OK I just uploaded Jazz's latest list of cruisers.
As both of us are getting on a bit in years we're not really sure if it is totally correct so can you just check it for mistakes.
I haven't changed Verandahman's site, and the cybercafe one til we get the "clean" logo and then I'll put it on page one.

Cheers,
Grumbo
