Sue: Click on the link under my picture then again for Tina & Brooke. View slideshow because it shows picture bigger. Can you see it now?

Andy: Thanks for the link, I will have to check it out. Anyone else going to dress up?

 

[Verandah Man]

Hazel and I are thinking of dressing up for Pirate Night, not sure about Angelina and my mom. I saw quite a few photos of people that dressed up as Pirates during the May Repo Cruise, looks like they had a blast!!!

HI EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I've been missing so long. Couple of family things going on that have left me rung out to say the lease but alas everyone in my household is okay and that's a really good thing!

I miss talking to all of you very much! I have alot of catching up to do and I'm sure alot of new people to add which I'll get right on.

My sister had a barbeque yesterday and me and John got talking about our great cruise last year and we realized how much we miss all of you and how you all made our 20th anniversary cruise soooo special. We were really laughing about all of our smoothie makers and the 100 pound bag of booze! And also about how lucky we were that our cruise turned into a 10-day cruise. Think we might get that lucky again?

Especially after reminicising (sp?) last night - we CANNOT WAIT to cruise with all of you but old friends and new next August!!!!!!!


WOO HOO!

Well off to read, well, probably about 100 pages or so!

Back home again - this time from dropping Jonathan off at the Cape to spend the wk w/MIL (and his cousin). Met Liz and looking forward to spending part of our 2nd wk w/her at the BCV.
Will go back down Fri night, Sat is a lobster/clambake for Dave's & SILs birthdays, will come back next Sun
This will be a quiet wk at home thats for sure. Good break for Jon & I btwn our wk in NH and 2wks at WDW. I will miss him terribly though.
Thinking of taking down the suitcases this afternoon and start packing for our FL vacation. Which starts end of next week!

We stayed at the Radisson before our 2003 cruise. Had a nice mini DISmeet at the pool, brought in pizzas/etc.
Will most likely do the same for the 06 cruise. Jon & I will spend the wk before the cruise at WDW. If Dave doesnt come for that wk he'll most likely fly down Fri, pick us up and then we'll drive over to the port.

Andy - good luck tomorrow
Darlene - hope Stan has a good report at the doctors tomorrow

 

[O'BWV]

Guess What?

I will be at WDW on August 20th! Just one day short of the DISmeet! Aw Shucks!

Read a few posts and just wanted to say a few things so far. Darlene, prayers for Stan and Sandy. Haven't yet read about Stan but from what I gather he has had another operation and I wish him a speedy recovery! Darlene - Prayers to Marty's Mom and to all of you helping car for her. Andy, Prayers for you knee operation and a quick recovery. Did I read something about T-Shirts? I read from pages 175 - 185 and 310-321. Now I gotta read inbetween.

Ginny, Did you move to Florida???????? I have been gone that long????? Best of luck in your new home! We'll miss you here in Joisey.

Bobby, Cindy, Lynn, Bob - Oh my Gosh, Say it isn't so Will we ever miss you guys!!!!!!

Hi Terry!!!!!!!

I'm so glad to be back! You're still going right?? Please say hi to your family also. Just think, we're almost at the year mark. Wasn't so long ago we were at 98 weeks!!! Can't wait to see you guys again and have a smart coffee together!


newholidayx2 - Is it Barb? I'm updating the list on page one and I'm having trouble locating your first post (way back when). Do you want me to list your info? If so, would you mind reposting it for me. Thanks!

Hello Carmen - where are you staying Aug 20th? Jonathan and I will be switching from the VWL to the BCV on the 21st. We're at the BCV from the 21st to the 27th - maybe we can meet up.

DH Dave (turning 47 next wk), DS (just became a teenager in May) and myself (Barb, little older than Dave) will also be on this cruise.
We have 1 of those Cat 7s (cat 6 w/slanted verandah (room 6634)) booked
Looking forward to cruising on the Western (again) - this time w/2 stops at Castaway Cay

Terry - sorry I missed your call. I left early to avoid traffic. (And the day isnt the sunniest either or I may have stayed later). Going back down again next Fri w/DH to pickup Jon.

Mary Rose - I must be psyhic, I was only asking about you just the other day, so good to see you on the boards, and glad everybody in the family is doing well. How is the job going?

There are a few of us in WDW at the same time as you, Vicki and I are staying at the Pop Century Resort From 18th August until 2nd September, where are you staying to? If you want to meet up for a drink, let me know. Apart from the mini dis on the 19th, I am also hoping to meet up with a few of the other guys as well. This is turning into an August 19th 2006 meet and greet before we sail, lol.

Good to see you (so to speak)

Sue

We will be in the Disney area about the same time as you all but we are not staying on site this time. Could not pass up the deal of a 3 bedroom condo at Silver Lake for $199 for the the entire week! We have never tried Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure in all of the years that we have been visiting Orlando so thought we might give it a try this year. My girls are 11 & 9 so we thought they were at a good age to try something new. I don't think they even knew there was any other park in Orlando except Disney World!

Veranda Man-
Good luck on your surgery tomorrow. Hope all goes well.

 

[Ct_TiggerFan]

At 199 for the week who could blame you.

We are doing all three while we are down their.
WDW, Universal and Sea World.
Giving my DD(8) a lot to do and see this time.


Ed

I am going away for a few days (a convention), leaving Thursday, and I'll be back Sunday night. If someone wants to post the countdown on Friday, I'm sure we'll all appreciate it!
