August 7, 2004 Magic...who's going?

[wendym]

Way to go Jay and Shelley - that is an amazing weight loss! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a new job for Jay. I'll keep praying for Corey. Tell Kritofer and Courtney that I cannot wait for the end of term too!
I'm aiming for the Oct 14th cruise too but awaiting school dates first.
Love to all
Wendy

Wendy:
If you and Mum decide to join us on the 10/14/06 cruise, I'll be so happy, I'll do my walk around Deck 4 naked!

 

[wendym]

And after seeing some of the threads in the cruise meet I believe you would be made to!!!

OCTOBER 14, 2006..........that's the date you want to book!!!!! It's another one of those double dips at CC AND all the kids will be back at school (sorry, Elana) so it will require fewer points and you and Judy will have so much more moolah to spend on just the 2 of you. Besides, the Cruistoberfest gang is really great and there are lots of them that choose the early dinner seating so that won't be an issue! I think it may also be a value rate since it's probably still considered hurricane season. Congrats on the new job!
Jay and Shelley: you guys are so amazing.......that's almost 100 pounds between the 2 of you.......congrats and keep up the good work!
Nice to hear from everyone again!

Remember us brits from the 2003 cruise.Anyway we are booked on the 14 October 2006 ,so for anyone going we have met before it would be nice to have a reunion.

Have just come back from the 14day repo cruise and some time at DL .That cruise was amazing,a very different atmosphere to the usual cruises,firstly very few kids,and secondly a great bunch of people of about 300 from the Disboards and a lot of our own events and new friends were made .It was like one long party with friends.The group was big enough even to get Disney to change its scheduling ,and show POC on pirates night.

Also due to no kids ,the Adults got two nights in the Oceaneers Club and the chance to make Flubber.

Hi Ashley,
Yes, of course I remember you.......we shared a tour bus in Key West. What you really need to do is sign onto the Cruistoberfest thread and introduce yourself to everyone. We are a great big group of fun-loving cruisers. Our cruisemeister is a fellow European like yourself (from Frankfurt, Germany)) and he does an amazing job maintaining the list and sending out periodic newsletters, etc. It's still kinda early, but once the cruise gets closer we'll arrange all sorts of group activities. Several of our fellow cruisers were with you on the repo (Jenn&Peter, Bette&Kim, Ellen&Dave)....maybe you got a chance to meet them.
Sandy: When is Sukkos? Our cruise leaves the 14th, not the 16th......does that make a difference?

What a small world Jenn & Peter and Ellen and Dave were on our Table ,I didnt realise you knew them.

I will sign onto the thread.
Since that last cruise (and Key West) our son Gary has now completed 2 years at college ,how time flies.

I meant the 14th, not the 16th, as in we can't do 10/14. Sukkos is the 7th and 8th and Simchat Torah and Shemini Atzeret is the 14th and 15th

Just wanted you all to know that Judy's dad passed away on Saturday. She is doing okay and spoke beautifully at his funeral on Monday,

 

[eye R.N.]

Oh Sandy I am so sorry.

Please tell Judy our family is thinking of her and sending our love and support. I think Wendy may be offline, I'll tell her when I see her next friday.

 

[jeanneg]

Sandy,
I'm so very sorry....please pass along our condolences to Judy and the kids. It must be hard losing 2 grandparents so close together.
Jeanne

Denise:
great to hear from you again........where you been, girl?

 

[sbennett]

Our condolences to Judy and the family as well. I lost my father and my maternal grandmother 4 months apart then 8 years later lost my mother and my maternal grandfather 4 months apart.
Our prayers are with you all.

Sandy,
Denise:

The short answer is. . . accreditation. Between rewriting all the policy manuals, reworking job descriptions and making sure all the i's are dotted and t's crossed it's been busy.

We are leaving friday morning for a long weekend at WDW to catch up with Doreen and Wendy, and visit Chelsea. (in that order!) Then, later in the year Hope and I are doing the repo cruise. Two whole weeks off work

 

[jeanneg]

I am SO JEALOUS you are doing the repo........John and I really wanted to do that, but with him being a sole practitioner, it was totally out of the question....especially since you have to allow even more time to get to the west coast. We finally sold the house in April so we are rewarding ourselves with a mini-trip to WDW next month. It will just be the 2 of us so we're splurging and staying at a concierge room in the Poly. Trust me, that was the only thing that kept me motivated all during the entire time our house was on the market. Please say "hi" to Wendy and Doreen for us!

 

[wendym]

Hi all from WDW!!! Cannot wait to meet up with you Denise - keep missing Chelsea but when I am in one place long enough wil phone her - we were at the MK until 2am this morning - Mum was going to go back early but she was having too much fun being chatted up by the ride operators!!
The cruise this year is going to be strange without you all - Jeanne I so wish we we could ahve extended our stay to see you and John.
Speak to you all soon - away to see what havoc Mum has done - cannot leave her alone too long!!!
Wendy
PS Just seen Sandy's and Judy's sad news- please pass on our condolences

Hi guys,
I have something really exciting to post: One of Adam's music videos is featured (for a limited time only) on the Yahoo music site. You can view the video and then vote for the group which will help them get more national air time on the major video networks. Here is an excerpt from my son's email with the link to the site. Just click on the group "Mae" (one of the 4 featured bands). Hope you enjoy it and if you would please vote it would be greatly appreciated:
We have a big favor that we need as many people's help with as possible!

These past few months have been very busy for us, and our first of a series of new videos has just been released for Mae's
"Suspension".

We have a really killer opportunity for us that is happening with Yahoo.
Yahoo is one of the biggest site on the web and Acquastrada/Mae's music video for "Suspension" is currently featured on Yahoo!
Music's "Who's Next" Program. Essentially, each month, 4 artists are featured and fans get to vote on their favorite "new artist."
The winner gets a ton of promotion and sales skyrocket, along with airplay on the major networks. Check it out and take a minute to
vote for Mae:

http://music.yahoo.com/promotions/whosnext

Please send this link to everyone and anyone. Try to get people in your
office to vote for Mae. Get your Moms and Dads on board. Get your doctors, plumbers, lawn boys, and mail man on the team.

Thanks for all your help!

 

[sbennett]

Hi Jeanne & John,
we viewed the video....thought it was really good...and voted for Mae.
Hope to see you soon!
Shelley & Jay

 

[jeanneg]

Thanks so very much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and we greatly appreciate you voting.
John and I are headed to WDW for a 4-day vacation at the Poly.....it's our reward to ourselves for selling the house! Try to find out when you'll be free during your wedding visit so we can start to make plans. See you guys soon!

 

[wendym]

Vote cast - fingers crossed!! Hope you had a great weekend at the Poly. We were at disneyland for the real 50th - what a blast - all got free golden ears and cupcakes - and they limited entrance to 50000 we think so it didn't seem too busy. Arnie was there along with Eisner and Walt's daughter Diane. Got to sit next to the model for tinkerbell - will explain more when we get back but she is amazing for being 76. Oh and we did the Richard Petty speedway last week which was great but not fast enough!
Wendy

 

[jeanneg]

Wendy: Where are you right now? DisneyLAND or DisneyWORLD? I'm so confused! Thank-you so very much for voting......I didn't expect you to have internet while traveling, but I'm so glad you voted. Did you enjoy the video? When do you set sail?

 

[eye R.N.]

Hi Jeannie.

Please send me the link so I can vote.

Wendy miss you and Doreen terribly. I am so jelous you got to sit next to tink!!! please tell me you took picutres.

Have a wonderful cruise and be sure to tell me everything Hope and I need to do at disneyland.
