Platos is in Atlantis on Paradise Island. It has been there for a long time, but this is the first time I have actually noticed it and went to get a bite from there. Today it was raining cats and dogs in Nassau. You could harldy see the ships some times as the wall of rain was really thick.

Can I be in Nassau too???!!! Good to see you back posting.

Man I am so tired. Been trying off and on all night to reserve our excursions for our next trip. The site is down. What a bummer it has been. I am tired. Going back to bed AGAIN!

Well after SEVERAL hours we did get everything booked. I was never so frustrated with Disney. I am exhausted and glad it is over. Have a good weekend everyone.

It tastes like bubble gum if made right.

Boy this thread sures slows in the summer time. Too many people enjoying the fresh air, I guess.

Hey guys...

Sorry it's been so long since I posted. School is finally out and we're enjoying our summer so far The girls and I have been doing lots of summer clothes shopping and getting ready for our first camping trip next week. We are heading up to Lake Granby and I hope the weather stays this nice.

DV - You have two girls, 11 & 13?? That's how old my girls are too. My oldest starts high school in August

Hope everyone is staying cool. We've been spending a lot of time at the pool (or at the mall).

Sandy - When are you guys leaving again? We want to go again so bad, but with the girls school schedule, next summer is out for us. We're hoping maybe the year after that. I have a friend going in Sept for the first time and I've been giving her all my stuff to checkout (passporter, photo albums) I'm so jealous she's going without me

So, DCLcruiser, I like the new format for the navigators. Do you know if this is this a trial, or have they decided this is the way to go for a while? I like the clutter being gone, I like the TV guide format for activities, I love that the kids' clubs activities are included and I especially love that it's just a single piece of paper!

Yes, my oldest starts high school in the fall and the younger starts middle school. They both had continuation ceremonies on the same day, but we managed. One of the parents at the elementary school solicited all the fifth grade parents for pictures of the kids and teachers over the last six years, and put together an awesome slide show that she presented at the ceremony. I was just fine until the end when she put in pictures of the middle school where they will all be moving to...*blinking back tears*. I noticed I wasn't the only one. I can't believe we're done with elementary school!

We are looking forward to a breather over the summer. It has been an insanely busy several months. I am taking my older daughter and going to California to attend my nephew's high school graduation, and will visit Disneyland and several good friends that we made on the last cruise. And we got season passes to Elitch's so we could go to Magic Mountain...our season pass is less than their daily admission! Both are Six Flags, so the passes are good for admission. Looking forward to that. The younger is staying behind because she is enrolled in tennis lessons, and she is very excited about that. Looking forward to lazy weekends at the water park.

With both girls starting at new schools this fall, we won't be doing any late summer cruising...but all bets are off the next year! We are going to Spain to sail the Magic back home, and the kids will miss the first week of school again. Hey, they'll get to see Picasso and Gaudi works, Roman ruins, castles, cathedrals, and European culture and food. We did that this year with the Panama Canal cruise and they both still managed to be on honor roll. Even a bonus - when Matt Lauer did his "where in the world" segment on the Today Show, and was standing in front of one of the Gatun Locks, my daughter recognized it instantly, even though they were zoomed way in. "Hey Mommy, he's at the Panama Canal! ... I've been there!"

Teresa, we are going on the 10 day Wonder Sept 7-17th. This time Heidi is coming too. It isn't coming soon enough. We contemplated on one of the Med cruises but decided that we would rather spend more time in Europe enabling us to "see" more.

Val - I never realized you have girls the same age. Cool! My youngest has one more year before going to middle school, but what a great idea about the slide show. I know several parents that have had kids in the same class since kindergarten and I bet we could get lots of pictures together, plus I work at the school, so I can still get new pictures.

I know what you mean about taking a breather this summer. We've been to the pool about 5 times so far and we're only into our 2nd week I have a lot of fun things planned (Heritage Square, Wildlife Experience) so we won't be too bored. Have your girls seen HOOT yet? It's playing at the Aurora Cinema Grill and probably will go see that next week.

How fun will that be to go to Spain and see all those great sights. I'm so jealous If we had the money, we'd SO be on that. I think the kids learn so much, because they don't realize they are "learning" while on vacation

Sandy - I wish I could feel sorry for you, but since your not taking me with you We want to go on one so badly, but think we'll have to wait until 2008 I guess I'll have to live through you guys until them

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Hey Teresa, I can't feel sorry for you. You wouldn't take me on YOUR cruise! If it makes you feel any better, I will have a Bon Voyage drink for you.

 

[Tera]

Sandy - Well you obviously don't know me very well, because one drink just isn't good enough

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Sandy - Well you obviously don't know me very well, because one drink just isn't good enough

Ok, ok, I will have a couple. Sheesh,

 

[Tera]

Damn well better

Just make sure to take lots of pictures to share with us.

 

[cristit14]

Ok, ok, I will have a couple. Sheesh,

Aren't you going to have one for me too? Maybe I will ask Heidi to have one for me.... I know she can handle having one for everyone......

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Aren't you going to have one for me too? Maybe I will ask Heidi to have one for me.... I know she can handle having one for everyone......

I'll have 4 for you (one for you, your DH, DD, and DS) plus mine.
