[Verandah Man]

Hi Dori--it was good hearing from you!!!

Take care and feel better soon, that same bug is going through our house, I think Angelina brought it home from school and decided mom and dad should share in her misery!!!

 

[PoohJen]

Hi Y'all,
I too am just checking in; I think it's been about 11 months since I posted on this thread, just 300 or so pages to catch up on....

Dori, my son Josh will be 13 1/2 at the time of the cruise (closer to 14); I think I requested early seating.

The cool news here is that the Magic is in town for drydock!!!! Woo Hoo! Very cool seeing her on my way in to work this morning! Just 10 1/2 short months till we're up on that deck....

Hey Dori!!!

I've been wondering how you are. The concert sounded cool. You're a good mom. Here's to a good year in school (that's chocolate milk for Devin).

See Ya',
Darlene

Just wanted to check in and let everyone know what Ive been thinking lately - thinking of cancelling the cruise. It really is alot of $ and Dave hasnt been paid for a few weeks. Did finally return to work this past Mon.
Wont cancel though until the last possible minute. May just take Jon & myself. Who really knows?
If we dont do the cruise we may do WDW for 2wks again. If Dave comes w/us we may do a wk at WDW and also visit SeaWorld and Universal while staying at WDW. Again who really knows?

Lets get through Christmas first

Hi everyone

Welcome to our new cruisers! I am looking forward to meeting you all, this cruise is going to be great!

Dori, it is great to hear from you. I hope you're feeling better. You sound like the symptoms I had a few years ago when I had pneumonia! Get better soon!

Barb, hang in there! Don't make any changes until and unless you are totally sure about what you really want to do.


Have any of you started looking at airfare yet?? We are now inside the 331 days-out time frame. lol I checked today and the airfare right now is not bad at all. Not great, but definitely not bad! Just not sure that we're ready to book it yet. Might wait a month or so, or at least until John and I get back from our adults-only trip later this month

I hope everyone is well, and again, WELCOME EVERYONE!

 

[Verandah Man]

Not sure yet if we are going to fly down next August or drive, at least we still have plenty of time to make that decision.

My DD decided she would be so kind as to share her head cold with dear old dad. Angelina came home from school late last week not feeling well, by Monday morning I woke up with a stuffed up head. I'm just glad I didn't have to report back to work this past Monday!!!

I trust others that aren't feeling well, will start feeling better real soon!!!

Take Care All,

Andy

Hi All...I'm not cruising on this cruise, but thought instead of posting this on the main board I'll ask my buddies.

Does anyone know how to put the ticker factory tickers on my desktop?

Hope everyone is doing well.

My kids said yesterday that this school year is 1/10th over LOL so I said I would make a ticker

Enjoy this great weather everyone

I can't answer your question but you wanted to say "So, glad to hear from you! Hope all is well."

Darlene

 

[PoohJen]

Doreen,
Yep, the Magic's here in drydock in Norfolk. Lots of shipping containers on the decks, that's the only noticeable difference. They can see it by travelling over the downtown bridge and looking to the right...

I love seeing it as I drive to work each morning, gets me all the more pumped for next August!

NEW CRUISERS! My friend Katherine and her 11 yo son Matthew will be cruising with us! They just booked and are waitlisted for early seating. I'll make a DIS'er out of her yet!

Have a great weekend, y'all!

I'm not sure if this has been addressed, so forgive me if it has, but it seems that alot of new cruisers have joined in and the first page hasn't been updated since early August. Maybe someone like the top poster, Verandah Man, should take over this thread. That way we'll always be up to date.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Denna, but I have a bit too much on my plate right now to add that job in as well. I know Ed did update the list several pages back on this thread.

[Ct_TiggerFan]

Sorry


I havent been keeping track lately as its hard to tell who is not going and those who are only thinking of not going

Welcome to our new cruisers welcome aboard.

 

[mickeymom923]

Welcome to all the new cruisers This is a great group of people.

Wow!! Only 45 weeks to go so that means another winter. Snow and ice - yuck. At least I'll be on the Wonder this December.

Andy - hope you get better soon. You have a very close family who believes in sharing everything - even getting sick. lol

I'm not sure if we are driving or flying in August. I know we're staying at the Radisson the night before the cruise and staying a week after the cruise at a timeshare.

For those interested in staying at the Radisson the night before the cruise, I blocked rooms at the Radisson for the group, so PM or email me for info.

Hi to everyone and stay well.

Bev

 

[Verandah Man]

Oh Bev, did you have to mention s*** and i** they are dirty words around our house. That's how I got hurt each of the last two winters walking around in that stuff, YUCK is right!!! I hate seeing the temps fall below 60*
