Calling All 8/19/06 Special Western Cruisers! AKA "The Cruisin' Castaways" Part 2

[sandygirl]

OH Darlene...CONGRATS

So when is the big event? CONGRATS to Sandy also, she must be thrilled beyond words.

All my best
Joanna

Sandy is thrilled! The baby is due July 16th. So you know where I will be this summer!! I have to rearrange my whole vacation schedule.

How are you all doing? My son wants to know a "good" neighborhood in NYC. He and his wife will be traveling the country with opportunities to live for 3 months in different places. Any suggestions? She is a nurse so somewhere near a hospital I would think.

Congratulations Darlene - What wondeful news!!!

Sandy must be so excited she is going to be an Aunt at 8 years old.

How is Stan the Man doing these days???

Hey Ginny!
We were in Lakeland over the weekend and I sure wish we had been able to get together. We miss you, dinner isn't the same!!

In Stan's words, the chemo is kicking his butt. Overall his spirits remain high and he is positive and that is a big help. He's not working but Sandy is home with him after school so he is occupied.

Give Bob and the kids a big hug!

Darlene

Wow, I had a lot of email to catch up on. Last Friday I got so sick that I was on bedrest.. Well Saturday I was off to the hospital and came home last evening.. I had my first experience with DIVERTICULITES and get this a HEART ATTACK of the BOWEL.. so no spicey foods for me!!

Can't even eat reg food yet,.. just pudding and 4 oz of fld at a time.. Maybe I need this cruise now instead of AUGUST>>!!!

Well... just checking in.. back to bed to rest.. take care..
DARLENE CONCRATS>... when is the blessed event?? You and STAN must be so happy...

31 weeks to go!!!

I'm just saying this with tounge in cheek, but I think I am going to dread Friday's for awhile, LOL!!!

I still wish everyone on this thread has a MAGICal cruise in August, and I hope to hear happy reports after your return!!!

 

[mikayla'sMom]

I am sure no one remembers me, but we need to be taken off the list. We are unable to go on this cruise and have actually booked for March 4th 2006 instead. I am pregnant and am due 7/14/06. I have not been around since around February, because we decided to sell our house and move. Life has been very crazy! I wish you all the best and have and will continue missing chatting with all of you!

Take care,
Heather

Congrats Heather, on the new home and new baby!!!!!!!!!

 

[mikayla'sMom]

Thanks Andy. Last year was very tuff and I hope this year is better. I am sorry to hear you will be missing the cruise also.

Did you get a place in Florida?

I know what you mean, the start of 2006 hasn't been the greatest for us, except for the fact that we adopted Boomer (two year old Retriever) from the animal shelter this past week.

As a matter of fact, I "officially" became a Florida proerty owner this past Monday. All the t's have been crossed and the i's have been dotted, all I have to do now is wait for the deed. My mom will be living in the mobile home, then after I retire, (about 4 years from now) my DW and I will join her from November to May (Jersey Snowbirds)!!!

 

[mikayla'sMom]

Double congrats to you! That is on Boomer and the new zip code. I hope those 4 years just fly bye! Sending to change your luck for the rest of the year!

Well I had to give my Countdown to Jerry Seinfeld Live in Boston countdown timer the boot in order to make room for my new DISNEY WORLD countdown timer!! (I wish we could have more than 3 graphics in our signatures! lol) Yesterday I booked a trip for mid-May!!!!

We're going to be meeting some friends there who are staying at POFQ so we've decided to stay there too. We've never stayed there before, so it'll be nice to check out a new resort We went in May of 2001 and I loved the low crowds and great weather, and it's fun to plan the itinerary while there's snow on the ground!

Anyone else going to be at WDW in mid-May?? Would love to meet up with any of you!

 

[RobinMarie]

SeaSpray I just realized I have looked at your web pages and found them very informative in the past. Can't wait to meet you!

Still deciding when/what times we are doing the World. Yesterday I purchased IOA/US tickets 99 dollars for five consecutive days admission and received a child's ticket free! There is no way we'll spend five days in those parks but perhaps we'll stay a few days before the cruise at a Universal Hotel and a few days after the cruise in Disney.

Decisions, decisions

Terry, We will be at SRS in June so we miss you by a month. POFQ is my favorite moderate resort! My DD wants to go back just so she can have beignets for breakfast every morning. I think you'll love it. Have fun!

My brother Rob just called, he said he is going to be on ABC's Good Morning America on Tuesday (1/17) between 7am and 9am eastern time, he will be portraying Ben Franklin.

 

[Dizzyworld]

Hi Andy,

Just saw your brother on TV. Pretty neat.

BTW, congrats on your new "future" home. I hope this is the beginning of wonderful things for you and your family this year. Good things should happen to good people like all of you.

Thanks, I'm glad I have the VCR recording because he must have been on while my wife was taking me to work this morning because she missed it as well. Wait, he is on again right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone - I don't mean to bring up bad things, but I have noticed a few people saying they will be cancelling this cruise. I am desperately seeking a Category 9 stateroom that will sleep 4. Friends of ours would love to come, but all of the 4-person Category 9 staterooms are booked, and booking 2 staterooms, even in a lower category, is just out of their financial realm.

So, if you are cancelling a 4-person category 9 stateroom on this cruise, would you please PM me so I can ask my travel agent to be on the lookout for it?

Thanks so much!

Hello Everyone !
Remember me ? I had a little trouble logging on, I wonder why I had trouble with my password.

Darlene: CONGRATS ! I am so happy for your family.

Andy: I am still your not going on cruise..........so many people are leaving, I don't want to make you feel guilty. It's been a pretty cummy first part of 2006 for alot of people. I do hope it gets better. Your brother really did look like Ben Franklin.

Heather: I do remember you, take care and I hope we can cruise some day at another time.

Doreen: Hope your feeling better each and every day. Oh how I miss these little things in my emails. lol

Terry: I didn't realize how close we were to cruise till I signed on......... Thank you

Kath1210: Good luck in finding the other cabin you need.
Has anyone heard from Mary Rose or Linda, Ed, or Dori or other people missing in action?
Hope everyone else is doing o.k that I missed, it's been awhile. Tina
