Counting down to May 25, 2002!

[Bbethparsons]

Looks as if we have our 8! Now what Callahan!

 

[callahanjulie10]

I really think if we want a DIS meet we should do it after everyone gets settled ( ressies, in the room, and after the drill)
Does anyone have any ideas?

 

[twinscandc]

I'm new to this Dis thing - meeting others on the cruise. Just tell me when and where and I will try to be there!! I would love to put faces with names!! I'll be wearing my lime green ribbon!! See ya on 5/25!!

 

[Ckerridan]

Hey, can we all just put on our lime green ribbons before we head to the terminal...Last year we went and it was nice to see the lime green ribbons in the line to board the ship....AFter all, we do stand in line for a while before boarding...
It was way too crazy when we tried to meet at the embarktion...We never did see any lime green ribbons by the pool party...I do remember everyone that I met while standing in line....
Lets try it.

Hi Ckkerridan- the line sounds like a great place- It is so hectic once we board- trying to get the ressies- unpack-EAT-register the kids, safety drill. That works for me- I just hope that I don't forget my lime green ribbon AGAIN!

Debbie1234:

Does your DD-14 have email? If so, my daughter would love to correspond with her via email prior to the cruise... would make her feel as if she "knows" someone already.

My DD-14 is Breckan, and she can be emailed at ggardner@oakstonepub.com (my email address).

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

 

[Bbethparsons]

Hey Callahanjulie10, I know that Pambvw has a daughter that is 7 and a son that 11

 

[BWVPam]

Thanks for remembering us Beth. Kids are pretty excited about already knowing some of the kids on the ship. They sure enjoy emailing your kids and the twins. I am pretty excited too. I know the next 2 months will go by quickly, however, I am ready to go now.

Thanks,

Pam

 

[callahanjulie10]

I would love to add some more kiddies to the list but I need their ages! Only 67 more days!

 

[Ckerridan]

Sounds good to me. We will wear our lime green ribbons to the terminal....If anyone forgets, I will carry extra ribbon with me....

I am traveling with my Dad age 64, my best friend, age 34, my daughter, age 5.5 years, and I am 34 years old....

By the way we booked with CruiseMax Cruises....
We are staying the nite before at the Radisson. We got a rate of $102.00...Can anyone do better than that???Let me know.

Colleen

 

[callahanjulie10]

$109 for us- I still can't believe that we can't get the $59 rate
But the Radission is great- and if you deduct what you would pay for parking at the port- $53 isn't bad for this hotel! Anyway- look forward to seeing you all in 65 days

 

[twinscandc]

Ckerridan -

Maybe we can get our DD's together!! This is their first cruise and are soooooo excited!!!inkbounc

I am also 34 (I think...you lose track after so many years)!!

Becki

 

[callahanjulie10]

I wonder where Irish Cowboy and the rest of the DISers' that are going on this cruise are...they haven't responded and I only count 7 DUers. Only 64 more days....

 

[BWVPam]

Is almost everyone staying at Radisson night before. Seems like there are a lot of us that are. Maybe we can make arrangements for a meet and greet sometime that evening.

I guess I didn't get a great rate, ($129 for the suite) but I thought we might like a little extra space since we will be spending a lot of time over the next week in our cabin.

See you all soon!!!

Pam

 

[Bbethparsons]

Hey Pam!

My family as well as my sis-in-law, callahanjulie10, will be staying there! We will make plans to meet. YEAH!~!!!inkbounc

 

[BWVPam]

Hi Beth,

Sounds great, it will be nice to match faces up to the names here on the board. Of course, I will already be able to recognize your kids. Feel like I already know them and the twins. We are doing family discussion night tonight on what we want to do.

I have a friend that orders a lot of things for our church through different companies and I was thinking of asking her of looking into some lime green lanyards. What do you think? let me know and I will try to find out what it would cost.

we are also counting down to the cruise. we did not book with DU. We booked onboard in Oct, and it was auto givin to the TA that booked that cruise. We will be driving from PA. we will stay in Ormond beach on the night before. We also really enjoy reading these boards. I hope that you get enough people to get your gift!

 

[callahanjulie10]

Thanks! That is a long drive- look forward to seeing you on May 25- do you have any children that you want added to the list?

 

[lkneller]

Yes, it is a long drive. Once we get south of Virginia the drive is very pleasant. Until we hit Fl. Then it gets a little hairy. But we have done it many times before so we know what we are getting into. We considered staying in Cocoa Beach on the 24th. We did that when we flew in, but with the long drive, it is better for us to stop 1-2 hours north of Cocoa Beach, and then drive in Sat morning. We have no children. But we are looking forward to seeing everyone else's!

Only 47 DAYS!!! inkbounc inkbounc inkbounc
