August 28, 2004 "LOST AT SEA" Cruise

[Reenieny18]

You have done a great job for me. Thanks so much for trying.. We may change our plans for early SUNDAY and maybe stay over in TARRYTOWN before we head home on Monday..
What is going on that weekend that everything is booked?

Darlene how is your husband??
Marty's mom went to the hospital for a simple biopsy and they ended up collaspsing her lung. She is a bit ashen in color but otherwise doing well. I think this is what it means to get older and take care of our PARENTS and SPOUSES.. DISNEY TAKE ME AWAY!!!

Hi everyone!

I was thinking it would be neat to put together a map with lines charting our course. I wish I had the computer skill to do this.

I may call the cruise line to see if I could get one of the charts they sell. I think it's shows what the Western cruise should look like? I'm not sure if it shows Texas and enough of Mexico though?

I'd like to put something in my scrapbook or maybe frame it. Maybe I can go to the bookstore and buy a map.

Oh, Doreen, I have friends who go into NYC a couple of times of year. I could see what hotel they recommend, if you want.

 

[Reenieny18]

That would be great. I go there a few times as well but mostly day trips.
Bobby made maps for us on the magnets... Maybe he can help you with the extended cruise,,lol

I love shopping in NYC....
its so different then going to my area MALLS,,lol I even went to the big mall in Conneticut as well as PASSASAIDES of course.

Darlene how is your husband??

Stan is hanging in there. Surgery is scheduled for Wed 9/29. Keep him in your prayers. So far we are optimistic that the mass is contained to the colon.

I took my mom and Sandy to NYC to see Beauty and the Beast on Broadway. It was awesome. We walked around Times Square, but it was daylight. I'd love to see it all lit up at night. My mom actually went up to a mounted policeman and asked him where Times Square was. He looked around and said, "Lady you are in the middle of it!" Hope you and your family have a great visit.

TERRY - that's exciting about your cruise trip report. Let us know what the t-shirt looks like. How cool!

KAREN - Serious withdrawlllllll from Disney. Sandy and I are supposed to head to WDW for Halloween. Not sure we are going to make it now. Have to take extra good care of DH. We ARE scheduled for the CA-FL repo crusie next Aug. That is worth lookin forward to. For now I may have to visit our local Disney Store for a quick fix!

Hey we fell to page 2, that hasn't happened for almost a year! Just bumping us up! Looks like this week's cruiser are in for a mystery extended cruise like ours!


Hi everyone - miss you!

Hi Mary Rose, and everyone else

I was just thinking of our group and wondering what everyone was up to.

I was just reading that the Wonder cruise that left today (originally a 3 night), will turn into a 4 night and won't be back until Monday. Then the people who were supposed to leave on Sunday for a 4 night cruise, will only get 3 nights and be back on Thursday. This has got to be so many headaches and stress for all of the CMs at DCL, not to mention all of the cruisers. I guess out of all of the cruises that got changed due to a hurricane, we had the best situation. I just hope that minimal or no damage will be done to Florida or the islands, it's so sad for those people

I hope you're all doing well. Darlene, I am thinking about you, Stan, and Sandy a lot. *hugs*

I just posted on the "Live from the Magic" thread about the Wonder cruise. Terry...Where did you read that?

Only one day though HUH at least we got 3 more LOL

Looking for a cruise for next summer, am waiting for the right deal and then I'll snatch it up.

Hi Mary Rose, are you nice and relaxed now that you are home?

Joanna: It's on the DCL web site about the Wonder cruises this week being extended and then shortened by 1 day. I also got an email from All Seasons Travel where Chuck the owner mentioned the same thing. What a hurricane season this year They were just showing Haiti on the news and the death toll there is about 2000 now. We'll be visiting part of Haiti next summer on our Royal Caribbean cruise. Labadee is RCI's private beach on the island of Hispaniola, and that's part of Haiti, so it's been catching my attention every time they mention it. Now that I've been to some of those Caribbean islands, I can just imagine all of those poor people losing their possessions, homes, lives, and businesses

Well at least today is Friday! Both of my DSs are sleeping over a friends' house so DH and I have the house to ourselves tonight!

 

[Reenieny18]

I've also been watching what's going on with the hurricanes. I have never been so glad to live in an area that doesn't have them. (Just the occasional typhoon, but nothing like what you folks in Florida have to deal with.)

I finally got ahold of one of my best friends in Birmingham, Alabama on Monday evening. I met her when I was doing Y2K work for Brunos. (I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with this grocery chain.) I was so glad to hear that all of the friends I made while there are fine and most had only downed trees and 10 inches of rain to contend with. Unfortunately, one of her dogs managed to impale himself on a downed branch while chasing a cat through their yard. He's okay, but it came within centimeters of his heart.

I'm also concerned about the mother of another best friend (my son's Godfather). She lives in Miami and I can't quite tell whether Jeanne is going to nail her or not. This woman is like another mother to me. Her son and I have been best friends since Junior High. I just talked to him last night. His mom was out here visiting him during Frances and had a heck of a time getting home because the routes that she intended to use to get home were washed out by Frances and Ivan. She finally got home on Wednesday, after being stranded in Kentucky for three days.

I'll keep all you folks in harm's way in my thoughts and prayers.

It must be very confusing for those cruising now. I'm glad we had the week we did. Ours felt like more of an adventure than all the confusion going on now. Hope they all have wonderful and magical cruises.

I have to tell you that our cruise preparded me for Stan's illness. It got me in the mode of "I am not in control" and we are OK anyway. I love INVADERZIM's signature quote. I think of it all the time. Something like, "Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance."
Well, guys, we're still dancin'.

Have a great weekend. To those in FL and other places affected by this crazy hurricane season, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Stay safe.

Excellent work on your web pages, Bobby! I am really enjoying reading the pages and seeing the pictures.

I hope you and your family are OK, we are all thinking about you, and hope that whatever has been bothering you all will resolve itself or go away or gets worked out


P.S. I got my Cruise Critic t-shirt that I won, in the mail today. That was fast!
