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

[lynr]

Stan is resting comfortably at home after his surgery today. The doctor said the kidney stone was embedded and he had to beat Stan up to get it broken up and removed. He installed a stint but will remove it in about a week and a half. They had a room for him but decided he could go home today if he behaved. Yea, right. He's been up and down the stairs twice already. Men! Seriously, I am relieved that it went well today and am pretty exhausted myself. One surgery down, one to go. Can't wait for our cruise, Darlene

Darlene:

Glad to hear Stan's surgery went well. Please know that I am thinking of you both often and keep you in my prayers.

Hi Everyone:

I am just stopping by to say hello and to let you know that I have buyers remorse. Remorse that I am not going with you on this cruise. I know I made the right choice for us but I am still very sad.

Have a great time and have a couple of drinks for me.

Andy: Sorry to hear about your dog bite. Hope all is healing well.

Welcome Deby!

Mary Rose: Belated good wishes for your anniversary -- congratulations!

Andy: Glad to hear the bite is healing, but you're killing me with the Magic pictures. I have a ton of work to do before the cruise and you are making it impossible for me to concentrate on anything BUT the cruise!

Darlene: Steve has had several unpleasant run ins with kidney stones & stents. I hope Stan is feeling better and you don't wear yourself out with worry.

Two years ago Steve and I took our moms for three days in the parks and four days on the Wonder. It was a wonderful week and a way for us to show them (in a small way) how much we appreciated all that they did for us. Within a month, my mom's knee gave out, she had to retire, and wound up getting a new knee and Steve's mom was diagosed with cancer. They both recovered fully and are doing very well to this day, but we were so glad we had the opportunity to travel with them when we did.

Sorry if I'm rambling. We buried a good friend of the family today and I'm a little morose. I think it's time for me to go to my laughing place.

Welcome Deby and family! There is certainly no shortage of girls aged 9 on this trip. My daughter Victoria Rose (Tori) would love to chat with your daughter before the cruise. PM me if you like.

Everyone that's going on the Cozumel Fury Catamaran Excursion:

I've noticed that they've changed the time for this excursion twice now, with the most recent change being "8:30am to 1:30pm".

Originally it was 9am to 2pm, then a couple weeks ago they changed it to 8:45am to 1:45pm. Now I just noticed it's 8:30am to 1:30pm.

Everytime I notice a change, I've made the change to the Itinerary Page. If anyone else notices any time changes for any other excursion, let me know and I'll make the change for those too.

 

[PoohJen]

Thanks for the heads up Terry! Where did you see that? Too bad, I'd prefer it slightly later. I wonder why the push back? Does it show us leaving Cozumel earlier, by chance?

Happy Anniversary Mary Rose and John!

Hi Everyone!!

Hey Lyn!!! Miss you friend! Sure wish you were coming with us. I'll be sure to drink a smoothie for you!

Welcome Deby & family!

Thanks Elaine, Lori, and Ed!

Terry & Doreen - Thanks very much for your support yesterday and today. I'm starting to calm down.

Terry - Why do they keep changing the time??? Don't they know I need my beauty sleep!

Had a good time with my company celebrating our anniversary. After the big crowd on the 4th it's nice to have a more intimate one.

Darlene - How is Stan and how are you doing today?

Pooped now and need some sleep!

Night, night
Mary Rose

Lyn: Mary Rose and I were just talking about you today, and how much fun we had on the last cruise, and how much we'll miss you on this one. I know you'll have a great time on your cruise though. I truly hope we do get to vacation together again some time

Deby:

Andy: Thanks for the pictures!

Lori: I'm sorry for your loss

Jen: I've noticed the time changes when I check my cruise itinerary on the DCL page. I have no idea why they've changed it. They're still showing Cozumel arrival and departure as being 7:30am to 5:30pm, so I don't know why they've made this excursion start and end earlier.

Mary Rose: I know what you mean One of the reasons why I liked this excursion was because it didn't start too early! LOL

 

[RobinMarie]

It doesn't appear post counts are a problem on this thread lately!

Great chatting with some new people tonight! I am definitely excited about this vacation! Just a little more than three weeks and we'll be on vacation! YAY!

Good Morning Fellow Cruisers!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had some wicked storms go through the area yesterday afternoon and last. One of my cousins and her two daughters were flying out of Philly to Orlando and their flight was delayed nearly three hours leaving Philly, but they finally did arrive safe and sound in Orlando late last night. I was keeping a track on the flight because my aunt, who lives in Florida, was beginning to worry. Somehow, I've turned into the family travel agent. Gee, I wonder why.

Have a nice day everyone!!!

 

[Reenieny18]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE>>>!!!! I was just watching SUNDAY morning QVC and they had travel suitcase luggage tags and before you knew it all the lime green ones were sold out.. I wonder how many DISER'S bought them... It was a 2 hr special and I had to see if I was missing anything.
I have one of the TRAVELON items already so I think I am all set..

Have a great day . oh look do I see the TINA. can you be sending me that from the FRIENDLY skiies.. that you have been up in for the last 4 hrs...
