Hello Everybody,

I've not posted for a while but I have been browsing. We haven't received our docs yet (booked through DVC) but we did receive our flight tickets and hotel reservation voucher in the post this morning.

I don't know if they send out the docs to the UK any earlier, but I hope we get them before we leave home as we fly out to Florida 3 weeks today (August 16th)

The last time we did the cruise we left the UK 2 weeks before and did not receive the docs in time so we had to have them delivered to our hotel a few days before the cruise.

Now I have the flight tickets, I'm really excited as its all within touching distance at long last ( I made the flight and hotel reservations in April 2002)

I look forward to meeting you all at the dis meet behind topsiders after the safety drill

Cheers

Ian

Hi Ian,

It was good hearing from you today!!! Sorry you haven't received your docs either. What a long wait, since April 2002, and I thought waiting since November was long, WOW!!!

 

[Lucyluvsmickey]

I keep saying I have time now I am scrambling to make sure I have everything Mary come and help me with my list I always forget something, As long as I don't forget my ds and my dd I will be fine LOL Can't wait to meet you all. Sorry I don't get on much, but I will have a whole week to meet all my fellow dis'ers soon YEAH!!! see you all soon Lucy PS I do have my plane tickets but not my doc's yet either, I also went through DVC. I drove home the other night with a ups truck in front of me and one behind me, but neither stopped at my house, bummer bye

You better go back and read your e-mails young man!!!

 

[lisak1]

i did horribly on that last test! My knowledge of Italian is usually limited to the handy tutorials offered on the latest Olive Garden commercials!

 

[mostyn17]

ROFLMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so funny!!!! Sounds like me too...I had to do lots of research for that quiz!!

Thanks for the laugh!

Travis

 

[lisak1]

I guess I don't win a shirt, due to my dismal showing ..... maybe I can win an "honorable mention" for making our "Resident Quizmaster" travis smile !

 

[mostyn17]

I hear by grant...........lisak1 the award for making "Resident Quizmaster" Travis for making me laugh!!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!

How was that??

Not as good as a t-shirt but hey.......

You guys are great!!

Travis

 

[lisak1]

I guess for my awful scores, i should be thankful for any recognition!!! Next, you can do a spanish quiz, and I can use my taco bell knowledge.....

and probably do just as well.

 

[Verandah Man]

That's O.K. Travis better grow some eyes in the back of his head, before our cruise in 26 days!!! We're going to get you Travis, one way or another. Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid!!!!!

 

[lisak1]

wow, 26 days, can you believe it?? almost time to start packing!

 

[Ian Parkes]

Good News...................... Our Docs were delivered by UPS today!!!!

The bad news is, there was nobody at home to sign for them so they took them back

Typical, the first day the house has been empty for 3 weeks and todays the day! We've got to wait until Thursday now.

Never mind at least we know we will get them before we leave the UK, and if ours have been delivered (booked thru DVC and to England) I would imagine everyone should get theirs in the next few days too!

Thanks for the heads up Ian, I'm sorry you missed the delivery. Still nothing here in South Jersey, read below.

This is funny and I have to share it with all of you. After lunch today, while I was reading water meters, I saw our UPS delivery man. I mean, I was reading his water meter, I not only saw him, I "TALKED" to him as well. He was still home for lunch.

He saw me coming towards his door and he said, "No, I don't have anything in the truck for you." I told him, "You better have something soon, or I'm coming back to your house and turning your water off." We then had a good laugh. Tom is a very nice guy, we joke around all the time. His wife, grew up across the street from me, while we were growing up. Just goes to show you what a small world we live in.

Well, Captain Underpants Commandah Verandah, Tom should probably come looking for you when he finally gets your docs for delivery... did you leave your route for the next few days with him??

Oh, he knows how to get a hold of me, his MIL and my mom, are life long friends, and I can be reached very easily!!!

That's what I keep telling my DD, there's nothing she can do in this town, that I won't find out about. She has already tried, and got caught. I love my job!!!

 

[aa4mom]

I am really depressed now. Disney can get docs to England and they can't get them to Saugus. I am "patiently" waiting for three different items- cruise docs and a couple of things for school. It is the same story with the stuff for school- other people have received them and I am still waiting. I think the UPS man and mail man must be afraid of me.
