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

[Colestat]

Morning all,


A new slogan for this thread

Miss a day, you miss alot


Onward to `10,000

I agree - I keep checking in. We were away last weekend and I spent a couple hours reading through posts to catch up.

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Moira...I haven't been over to the school yet but we start school after Labor Day here (September 3rd maybe?) and Sarah has a student council meeting so she may see her. It was "Go Tipp" correct (and that's not going to get us into trouble saying that is it??)

I was wondering how you pronounced your daughter's name...it is spelled and pronounced beautifully. When Sarah was born, we were going to name her Siobhan (which I think is Irish for Joan/Jean) but decided on Sarah instead which was my MIL's name and she is every bit the "Princess" that her name means (actually she is a fashion diva!!) We were afraid that the kids in school wouldn't be able to pronounce and spell it...you should see how the murder the spelling of Sarah...She gets SHara, Sara, Ciara, etc!

Whoever is doing the stateroom list...we are in 6136....we're almost Moira's neighbors!

Andy...congratulations on Angelina's passport arriving...one less thing to worry about!

Hey all you veteran cruisers!

I have been wondering about what you all have done about using a refillable drink bottle/cup. I would like not to make 57 trips a day to the soda machine (although, with 8 people, that is a true likelihood ). Are the cups they have on the boat big enough, or have any of you brought bigger ones from home? I was just at Wal-Mart buying up a storm and wondered if these would be a good purchase. With soda, I know I would need to buy something with a straw and not a pop top, or the fizz can end up "popping" the top. There were a few different ones from 20 to 56 ounces.....blah, blah, blah.....

Any advice?

Thanks!
Joyce

Could it be only 400 more to go ???!!!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

Since I can't seem to catch up on reading all of the past pages, here goes...Molly...belated Happy Birthday! Doreen...congratulations on the promotion and we will probably be at your LS party (could you pm me info on this since I missed where and when)! Andy...THANKS for the post card...what a nice surprise!

Andy..did I see where you were watching National Treasure...I know that there is an episode next week but when is the finale. I will probably miss it since we leave for WDW on 8-13 and I only hope that I can remember to tell DH to tape it (if I can find out when the finale is that is!!) Thanks.

Hi Mary Jo,

Sorry, but I don't know when the finale is for Treasurer Hunters, I'll see if I can find out, then post it here. It's not as good as The Amazing Race, but I still enjoy watching it.

 

[Verandah Man]

Actually under 400 now!!!

I think we posted at the same time.....

I also think I am going to loose the pool.....we will have 398 more WAAAAYYYY before the 8th

Have a good one and stay cool!

Treasure Hunters (TV) ........I think the last show is a live 2 hour show on 8/21. I agree. I like the Amazing Race much better.

I read that in Cozumel they were hoping to have another pier in operation at the end of July. We might get lucky.

Anna,

You can't have my life! I'm not done with yet!... Unfortunately!!

Dori

P.S - I'll make a deal with you and Curtis, I won't talk about work on the cruise, if you guys don't.

Deal!!!

 

[ElliotFan]

So far, we have 51 people on the list to meet at Grills on the 18th, anyone else interested???

Definitely interested, Andy, but it's just not feasible for us.

We will still be in the air with our lovely airline food (or lack of, as seems to be the norm nowadays). I'll definitely be thinking about you guys while I eat my peanuts. We don't get to Orlando until after 7:30 PM. It's also the reason I had to back out on meeting everyone at the Radisson for the 'night before party'. By the time we got our luggage and made it there, it would be bed-time. So, we'll just catch everyone on the ship.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Hey Joyce,

Looks like I was just a few seconds faster than you to 9600, LOL!!!

Gotta get back to the heat wave, went through another four 16oz bottles of water this morning, I can't wait to get some relief from this, the weatherman says the relief is on it's way, I sure hope so!!!

Dori, what time is your shuttle Saturday morning? We might meet up in the lobby at the Radisson!!!

I'm not staying at the Radisson the night before. I opted to stay at the Airport Marriott. (I am a member of the Marriotts Rewards program, since I travel for work semi-regularly.) We will be catching the DCL bus from the airport in the morning. There isn't any time listed on the transfer coupon, but I imagine that we'll be hitting the bus by around 10 AM.

O.K, so I'm probably the last one to say this, but ....


My docs are here!!

Now we just need to receive the kids' passports. I checked the website and they say on or before August 12. Kinda close, huh?

For those in the east, relief is in sight! It was 98* here at 7pm before the T-storms and 78* when I woke up. Ahhhhh....

Thanks for the good news about the falling temps!!!

Congrats on receiving your docs!!!

When I checked the passport website it stated that Angelina's passport was due to arrive on or before August 7th, it arrived yesterday August 2nd!!!

 

[SeaSpray]

To anyone who is overseas and ordered lime green leis: Don't worry about sending me a check from home; the postage would probably cost more than the leis!!

LOL Mary Jo!! No, it won't get you into trouble I promise.. and it's "UP TIPP"! She'll get a god laugh from that! It's what we say when we go to Hurling matches, an Irish sport played with sticks called hurleys and balls called sliotars.. it's a dangerous but wonderful game and in Tipperary we absolutely love it!

Whew.. I'm glad they came! Otherwise we might have been sitting at an empty table talking to ourselves!!

I don't know what the song is on your website Andy but it is absolutely lovely! It has a real Disney feel to it and I enjoyed it as I was posting here.. thank you!

To be honest over the past couple of months you have done some of the nicest kindest things for the people on these boards. Your posts are always pleasant and funny, even when you have some hard things to say. You truly are a lovely man and I look forward to meeting you and your family in a couple of weeks.

Moira.
