Don't know yet, but that's why I asked you guys to let me know if you all book another cruise together - that will help me decide.

I know as of 12/1, I'll have 438 points to play with. I think we'll be due for another trip to WDW next year or maybe we can use those points for our next cruise.

So sorry you have had to give up the cruise this year but understand totally. When you mentioned about Kaddish earlier on I went back to some of the sites I used to look at to refresh my memory of it. (I know it seems odd but I was always fascinated by Judaism.) You and Judy will certainly be missed by all of us.
We are booked on the 23rd July Mexican cruise - can Judy not start take classes to overcome the fear of flying! I know BA offer them over here.

Times are 1 hour apart starting at 10:30. 6-8 people can go on the boat at a time. I am going to try for the 10:30 slot and am faxing in my request today. It looks like it will be Hope and I.

eye R.N,

Just saw your message regarding last week. I've never seen the traffic around here as bad as it was last week! Memorial Day weekend and the Naval Academy graduation is too much for our small town to handle!!! Three times last week it took me at least an hour to drive somewhere that normally takes 10 minutes. Yes, the Blue Angels fly low over our home and it's always exciting to watch.

This will be our fifth DCL Cruise and we always seem to meet people from our home town. I'm really looking forward to meeting you and your family.

Will you all be going to Grills on Friday night? We may try to go there too. If not, we'll probably just go to the restaurant next door to the Radisson for dinner. We loved the pizza we had there last year.

See you soon!

Chelsea wants to take the van and head to WDW for the day on Friday to catch up with friends but I hope she'll be back by dinnertime.

eye R.N.,

Is your family going to be staying at the Radisson too?

 

[wendym]

I'll try for the 10.30 parasailing for Mum also - I'll let you know if we are successful!!

I wouldn't think it should be too hard. Seth booked his parasailing on the ship after he knew he had the money to pay for it (with his bingo winnings).

I called to inquire last week and was told we cannot officially book excursions until 6/8 because July has 31 days and they strictly adhere to the 60-day rule. I was concerned because I leave very early in the a.m. tomorrow for Adam's graduation in LA. We'll be in various stages of transit, connections etc. for probably about 12 hours and didn't want to have to call DCL during this time. CM told me to fax it in the day before, but with all I have to do, I nearly forgot! Anyhow, I just faxed in a request for 4 (John won't do it) at 10:30. With Denise and Hope, that leaves just enough room for Mum AND WENDY!!!!!! It would be great fun if we could all do it together.......I am going to be SO SCARED! (At least we'll have a nurse with us.....!) Probably won't find out until Friday if we got it since that's when we return home......let's just keep our fingers crossed!
I also booked the 5-star St John excursion. It leaves early and is a relatively short trip (can't take a full day of sun and snorkeling)
The Buck Island trip I was so looking forward to is not the same one I did in St. Croix so we opted for St John's instead. Nikki (my 22 DD) really wanted to do the kayak excursion but no one else did so I didn't sign her up for it. If someone else is interested she may reconsider. Gotta go....so many things to do before tomorrow!

Enjoy the graduation - I hope it goes well. I'm sending Mum to do the parasailing herself - she needs some time without me! You will love it once you are up - my excuse for not doing it is I want the money towards a digital camera. Of course if I won bingo like Seth then money worries are out the window!

Hi guys! I know you are all busy planning your trip, but I wanted to ask for prayers for Nicholas. He just had a MRI and it showed a cyst regrowing. They will do another MRI in 7 weeks unless he shows symptoms that would indicate that it needs to be done sooner. He hasn't had a MRI in six months, so we don't know if it grew months ago and then stopped or just started growing. The first thing he asked about was the cruise as he is looking so forward to it and it is so close.

Thanks!!

Amy

 

[wendym]

Oh, Amy you are all most certainly in our prayers.
Wendy

 

[jeanneg]

Amy: my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Wendy, Denise: We probably should have asked to link the parasailing so we all get to be on the same boat. I think I will send off a fax to them right now. John is already planning to get a head start on the conch coolers with Andy and Wendy while busting a gut laughing at us!

I have so much to do.......if I get any sleep at all tonight it will truly be a miracle!

 

[sbennett]

Hi Amy,
I just pm'd you. Nicholas and your family are certainly in our prayers.


Please put Corey in your prayers as well, he had a bad weekend at the hospital and attempted to cut himself again. Just when we think things are looking up!


I think we're doing the Doubloon Sail and the early St. Thomas Island tour and on San Juan....??? either the Bicardi Distillery and Old San Juan tour 8am or the New & Old San Juan Tour 8am and the separate Bicardi Tour 12:15

 

[eye R.N.]

I am sending up prayers for your sons. We have been living from MRI to MRI with our nephew for so long, I can just imagine what you are going through Amy.

Shelly, Andy and Taylor will be doing the combined Old San Juan/Distillary tour if that helps your decision making process.

Jeanne, hope you had a blast in LA. I expect our neck of the woods is going to be a little nuts with the state funeral. No going into DC for the rest of the week.

We are staying at Ron Jon's (I got a great rate) for two nights before the cruise. I found last year I was still wiped out from the drive before the cruise. Maybe the extra day by a pool will help.

 

[gometros]

Amy and Jesse, Shelley and Jay, your sons are always in our prayers.

Hi all..

I booked my excursions right at 8am today. Me and DD are going to parasail at 2:30pm as long as the weather is good. Last year our time slot was cancelled due to lighting and boy was she mad!!

Have any of your teens done the wild side tour on CC. I signed her up for that...but would like to know what others thought about it.

I booked a trip in St. Thomas but think I am going to cancel it and do the Winifred Sail on our own. Heard awesome stuff about it.

Didn't do anything for San Juan. Want to find some jet skis when we are there since they stopped the jet skis at CC. Also, one of my DD classmates moved there recently and we may try to hook up with them, or at least get some ideas from them on what to do.

I will keep the boys in my prayers. I hope everybody stays healthy for the summer.

Eye RN would your 14 DS want to email my DD. She would love to start chatting with someone. This will be her first time in CG and is so excited about it!! She is heading off to a summer program Saturday but will have access to a computer for emailing. By the way you live in my favorite city in the US..so pretty and fun!!

Have a great day!
Marie

 

[wendym]

Shelley, Corey and all of you are also in our prayers.
I've just phoned and confirmed the parasailing time for Mum - spoke to a lovely Indian lady who reckoned Mum was the brave one! So we are all set at 10.30 - I will look forward to the conch cooler! Once we get a chance this weekend we may look again at the San Juan excursions and decide if Mum could cope with the rainforest tour.
Jeanne - hope you all had a wonderful time!
Wendy

 

[eye R.N.]

Since DS would rather be staying home than joining us, he is probably not the best representative of DCL right now. DS (18)Epcotgirl1 can tell her everything about CG and is it's biggest fan. She has done wild side twice. I'll get her to post soon (first I need her to get registered for college and get a job) Teens. . .gotta love em

Today's Courtney's 10th Birthday....fun!!!!
I sent in my fax for excursions....old san juan/distillery combo
and in St. Thomas, the Doubloon sail and the St. thomas Island tour.....how long does it take to get a reply? I faxed it over around 4pm today....meant to take it to work with me but forgot.
