August 23-30, 2003 "Welcome Home Fellow Cruisers--Trip Report Completed"

You all talking about the camera's reminded me.
I got a Fugi underwater camera at Target. Used it at Castaway and got some great pictures.
I also bought one of those one-use Kodak camera's that take the panoramic pictures, they turned out great. I'll try and remember my scrapbook on the 22nd at the Radisson.

We finally had a beautiful day We were finally able to spend a day in the yard.
I found a coupon for Kodak camera, too. Went to Target to pick one up. I am hoping my mother had a coupon too. They will be great cameras for dd and for those days at the beach when I wont want to bring my good camera. Make sure to put a return address label on the camera,so if it should get lost, some nice soul will return it.

Next week is another milestone- final payment is due. I made these reservations so long ago I didnt think the time would ever come. Now- time is flying so fast.

Yep, almost to that special 60 day mark!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

I just found out that I was tagged by the Tag Fairy as well, Thanks so much!!! I love the colors, and the special little note in BLUE!!!

 

[lisak1]

Happy belated Father's Day to everyone. I had a family birthday/Father's Day party today, and couldn't talk to anyone about our trip since we haven't told our twins yet that we're going. I couldn't wait to get home tonight, so that I could get my "fix" and read about everyone else's excitement.

Congratulations on you tag's....by the way....what is that all about?? LOL! I REALLY don't know, but I've read about how good it is that you get tagged.

In the far left hand column under your user name the tag fairy adds color to your little sayings and may even add their own little saying or comment about you. I was being ornery and joking around the other night with a fellow DIS'ers saying, that little old me wasn't important enough to get tagged. The tag fairy added a comment about that in "blue" (my favorite color) under my user name.

 

[aa4mom]

lisak,
Tag Fairy missed me too.
We'll have to have our own "tagless" group.

But if anyone deserved the a visit from the tag fairy, it was Andy, our Aug. 22,2003 Cruise Director.

aa4mom.

well, we'll just have to be on a mission to be tagged before we leave.... something akin to " on a mission from god!" (note the blues brothers sunglasses!!)

 

[aa4mom]

OOPS!!!! I am so excited to get there I am pushing things ahead.

WELL I DID IT !!!! I made the final payment this morning
It is not due til next week, but I got an email from DU requesting payment. SO OFF IT WENT

lisak1. keep my fingers crossed for the tag fairy

 

[lamby]

Thanks, Andy, for helping me become "DIS" enlightened. If it is based on the number a posts made, I'm way behind you guys. I think I only have 10 posts, where as lisaK and AA4Mom, you guys are in the 90's.
I also made my final payment last week, because I just couldn't wait to have it paid and REALLY confirmed.
I hope the TAG fairy finds you soon.

 

[lisak1]

aa4mom,

isn't it nice to have it all paid off?? you're one step closer to being there!
I took care of some more cruise things this weekend, getting some new dresses over to the tailor, they should look very nice when they are done. i'm going to borrow my brother's digital camera to bring with us, along with a regular one too. i find with the disposable cameras, I never seem to be able to get them developed, and then loose track of the cameras.

My brother just came home from Paris last night, his pictures should be very nice! He's going to Rome (for the second time) in a couple more weeks. I'm trying to talk him into cruising with us sometime in the next couple of years. He's been just about everywhere else, but not on a cruise.

 

[aa4mom]

Now that school, girls scouts, soccer and in a few days my seminar are over- i have started to get things ready. Having paid off the cruise, it seems more real. i have a little corner in my bedroom for cruise stuff. As i find it on sale I will buy things. A couple of weeks ago Target had FUJI underwater disposables on sale, this week they have the Kodak disposable on sale. At some point in time Target had over the door shoe racks on sale, bought it. I havent done anything about my clothes yet. i got dd's dresses just after Easter. Now that I have paid, THERE IS NO TURNING BACK

 

[Verandah Man]

Yep, it won't be long now girls!!! Our DD gets out of school on Friday, Yea!!! It's been a loooooooooong school year.

 

[allshookup]

I tried making my final payment over the weekend with my debit card on-line and I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't except it until I remembered I have $1,000 day limit...duh. So I mailed my final payment yesterday. Yippee!!!!

I was going to buy a beautiful peach spagetti strap dress with just a touch of sequin on the bodice at Marshalls the other day....until I tried it on.

Do you think I will get thrown out of the dining room if I show up in a robe?

 

[disnylesa]

Hey Andy,

How can I get a t-shirt like the ones you got for the cruise? I love them!!
