August 9, 2011 (8/9/2011) Taking the Wonder to see the AMERICAN CHILD

[caitlinsdad]

I'm still waiting to see Ariel in one of the pics. Hopefully you will get a penguin or a puffin in one of them.

Penguin works cause of happy feet I think, Ariel might need a fur coat

And to think I thought it was slow because I am DISing on my Blackberry.rotfl

Lovely pictures people are putting together! LOVE-LOVE-LOVE the northern lights ones!! Anyone know if they show in the summer or only in the winter? Low sunspot activity now so that decreases them too.

(Does anyone mind having penguins on the pictures since they are southern hemisphere birds?)

I thnk we may be too far south for them to display But in the summer it is possible to see

South of 55 degrees latitude, the aurora should be visible to observers in Canada and the northern US all summer if the auroral index is 4 or more.

I will check that out!

When I was a kid in upstate NY we saw them one time but it was so faint I wished my Dad had not gotten me out of bed.

Recently my brother went to Hudson Bay--Churchill I think--to see them and it was the middle of winter--very cold. He got beautiful pictures and said they were more lovely in person.

about a year and 1/2 ago I saw then again. First time was 40 years ago, This time was a red streak in the sky.

I hope we can see then on this trip, but the odds are against us.

Our group is also going through a re-organization. We don't know what is going to happen but they promised to have everything in place by the end of the month. Since that's only a couple of days away - we'll see. I just hope I still have a paycheck coming regularly!!

All the best to you, here it was just shifting people around, as one manager didn't want to manage people anymore, so now he will be a project manager. and those under him are being move around.

I made out ok, I'm headiing back to my old area, but still doing what I do.
only bad think is, I now have a new manager I need to get up to speed on web items.

Cute gold panning pic in your sig line.

 

[dato63]

Thank you. My DDs are really excited at the idea of panning for gold - so a friend made that for them to wear on shirts when 2011 comes around. But I thought I'd wear it here too.

So is anyone else thinking of being crazy and booking a Dream cruise? I may email my TA and see if she can get us a cabin for an Easter sailing. Expensive I know....but it's a new ship.

not me

 

[jilljill]

I was only thinking of booking it since DD would like to experience the teen area before she's 18. I'd rather hold off until the Fantasy comes out, to go on a longer cruise, but I'm afraid it will come out after she turns 18 and then she won't be able to go.

I usually book an inside cabin and frankly was disappointed at the lack of inside cabins (only about 10% of the cabins). Will be interested to see the pricing.

Hi everyone!


The wedding and honeymoon are now over now back to reality! The wedding was beautiful and the honeymoon at WDW was great!

Sadly when we got home, my grandfather wasn't doing well and he passed away yesterday. He was sick and suffering so it was a blessing overall. Though it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt though...

Hope all is well with everyone!

Congrats on the wedding and nice to hear you had a fab honeymoon. Please share pics if you want.


So sorry to hear about your grandfather, our condolences to you and the rest of your family.
