August 20, 2005 - L.A. to Port Canaveral - Eastbound Repo Cruise - The SHIP OF FOOLS Part 3

[kmiles]

OK, I extended an invitation over there. Some of you were listed as contact points for further information on the chat (Grumbo, Mickeyfan1, Perdita&Pongo, Winotracy, RobinMarie, Bmwdsny, and myself) so keep an eye on your PMs and make sure you have room to accept new ones.

Here's hoping we have a good turnout!

 

[kmiles]

Uh how can I say this....
When I tried to email you the filters on my computer only gave me ******Fan1@*****FanClub.net.
Don't understand it so can't get the information to you kmiles

Cheers,
Grumbo

Oh, damn. Try my backup: ILoveCostco@CostcoRules.com

 

[winotracy]

Well, someone needs to advertise this to the other cruisers or we won't have much of a turn out. Perhaps Peter can include mention of it in his Thursday Newsletter edition?

I e-mailed one person from over there and mentioned it to Peter. I mentioned to Peter that maybe TigfanJeff should put it on the their website because the website name will be banned in PMs or posts.

Oh, Arlene, I wasn't offended AT ALL.....just jealous that I'm not one of the "top ten"!!!! BTW, I think I'm Jen (or Jennifer) and the Jenny who is in the top ten is JENNY!!!! But then again, I could be wrong!!! The "new arrival" isn't really a new arrival....it just takes the state lots and lots of time to finalize adoptions. Emilie was born 2/14/04, placed in our home on 4/25/04, and the adoption will finally be final on 3/26/05. And yes, we are having a big party. Saturday at 3:00. Everyone is welcome. Please just RSVP by yesterday!!! I need a personal assistant to keep up with all the things I need I need to order, place the orders, etc. Anyone interested!!!! ~Jen

Yep I had a PM already and tried to use that dreaded site's name and it was *** out. Anyone would think it was large bulk food warehouse chain or something!!!

Hey Mods if you're reading why don't we just move on and "un-ban" the site. You have tons of cruisers who BOOKED THROUGH DREAMS UNLIMITED on this thread and you're not enamouring yourself to them with this stuff..

Cheers,
Grumbo

I've had a PM already also! I agree, Grahame, that the DIS Webmasters/Moderators should remove the ban on our cruise information site.

WOW! It took us 6 months to finalize. We went to WDW the next day and had a nice meal at Artist Point. We had a party when we got home. It is a great feeling. No more social workers!

 

[Denine]

Does anyone know if DL has a barber shop on Main Street like WDW? I would love to get Kaleigh's hair cut before the cruise and then she would have had it cut at both Magic Kingdom's.

 

[dletz]

No barber shop at DL, wish there were.

I thought I'd post this on here for all you bargain hunters. http://silverjewelryclub.com/default.asp this site is giving away their jewelry. You just have to pay the shipping & handling fee of $5.99. The offer changes every 15 minutes. Be careful of the rings (check the sizes). I haven't actually recieved anything from them (and I've only ordered one item), but I've heard really good things about them. Just thougth I'd let everyone here know.

 

[NYGiantsRule!]

I was checking to see if a payment I made was posted to our reservation and just found out that we have been assigned cabin's instead of just GTY status. It's somehow makes it feel more "real" to have an actual cabin instead of a category. Only problem is that we had asked for a cat. 6 and a cat. 11 near each other. Right now they are on two different decks. Hopefully we can have the cat. 11 moved to our deck at least if not near the other cabin.

Just returned from shopping at the Costco in Signal Hill, CA. I saw my girlfriend who has worked in their deli for many years. After explaining our Ship of Fools trip to her, she has agreed to talk to her store manager. She thinks he'll be happy to post a banner on August 20th which says "Welcome Grumbo and Ship of Fools." In addition, she also believes that he will give everyone who uses Grumbo's Gold Costco American Express card 20% off their total purchase. So, if you want to take advantage of this very special offer, please contact Grumbo via PM.

(BTW Grumbo, remember when you pretended that you were going to cancel your cruise? I told you that you were toast back then. Sisters, this is payback!!! )

(Back to routine life...still haven't caught up on this thread yet. Time to pickup dd from school. Have a good one everybody!)

 

[Bmwdsny]

On a serious note - any chance they would (help) "sponsor" the Friday night HISP party by donating some munchies (chips/deli/whatever)? Just a thought!

Just checking in!!
Going to WDW next weekend and staying Fri. and Sat. night at Animal Kingdom Lodge!! I'm excited!! We're celebrating the 3 grand-daughter's b.days. (Abby is 2, Addison will be 2, and Bethany will be 8). Should be fun....AKL is one of my favorites!

Also--been cleaning out Addison's closet and selling her Gymboree clothes that no longer fit on Ebay. Just did 3 auctions with 5 or 6 outfits in each and got $41.54, 34.03, and 61.00. Keeping this money in pay-pal out of Shawn's reach and will use it for vacation!! I also listed a "lot" of my sister's daughters clothes for her and she got $73.00. Not too shabby!
