Yes, I have other plans. We are just going to stroll and check out the sights for our first visit there. My parents are from Scottsboro, Alabama!! Thanks.

It looks like my Mickey AVATAR got flagged. Oops!

I bought yellow t-shirts for the scavengEar hunt for my hubby and I to wear. We both put them on and my hubby turned to me and gave me that face. I think we look cute, all matching. He'll wear it since everyone else will be.

Hi Folks,

I was to busy posting for a couple of days. Yesterday I met with some people from my old highschool to plan our 20-year-class-reunion. It was so funny to see how some people changed - And even funnier how some didn't change at all

Mary,
Gramps 90th BD is 05/13/03 so we still have time for the preparations. He said he didn't want a present, but we chartered a helicopter and he will do a 1-hour scenic flight over Frankfurt and the surrounding area together with two of his granddaughters and Anja as his flight attendants. This will be a big surprise for him.

Roland's Mom is recovering fine.

This afternoon I'll have some time to post again - C U then.

Morning everyone,

Had to come into work early this morning so had time to surf the DIS. Did you see the thread of the lime green Mickey stickers @ Home Depot? That might be something we could use for our mini meet in April. If everyone can find them. I will try to stop @ Home Depot in the next day or two. Acutally, I could go that way on my nightly walk and get exercise and stickers. Since Home Depot is only about 10 blocks from my house. I live in the suburbs, and have a woods behind me, but all the major stores are really within walking distance from my house. Some days, when I park at Wal Mart I feel like I am walking there from my house.


Hope everyone has a good day.


GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS.

Nancy

Nancy ... Interesting about the Home Depot and Lime Green Mickey Stickers .... I'm going to check it out at lunch AND I have a friend that works there (hehehe)!

Hope everyone had a nice night.

OMG I only have a tiny patch of snow left in the front yard .... AshLee is ing for joy and so am I.

Fiona ... Know what you mean about that yucky brown stuff till the green appears.

Have a very Mickey Day and

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!

Happy Wednesday!! Cloudy here today but still will be 55 degrees so we will take it!!

April 5th dis meet--Cathy, Sarah and I are still on for it--just waiting to hear from Bettemom!!

Padisneyfan...was going to email you my address and phone number but noticed that you didn't have an email listed so I will PM you! This way you will have at least a contact!! Feel free to email me your information so we can contact each other!!

Cathy..I fully agree with you about our troops..they volunteered to serve our country and we should support them 100%...just hope we don't have a bloodbath going into Baghdad. I do think that people have the right to protest the war but they should still support our troops. My motto is, if you don't like the USA..just leave and try to find somewhere better..there is nothing stopping you.

 

[@GoofyNut]

Just wondering ... does anyone remember if the had iced tea with the lemonade, milk, coffee, etc outside Topsiders?

... Wonder how Disney is handling the news updates about the war while you are on ship? They sail from the USA but are actually registered in the Bahamas and take passengers for all over the world ... humn.

Rainy here right now ... hope that washes off the yucky brown dust and cinders and makes it green real soon.

Have a nice night .... GOD BLESS THE TROOPS AND THE INNOCENT PEOPLE.

Spring has arrived eventually: 22ºC/72ºF.
It's so good to have some green coming back to the trees.
Yesterday I bought a new cellphone which will also work in the USA. Over here we use cell-phones in the 900 and 1800MHZ-bands, which don't work with your 1900MHZ-band.
I got a new Nokia from Finland which works in all three bands, and the best: The phone has a built-in digital camera to record small videos and pictures in VGA-resolution (640x480), which then can be sent as MMS or email.

 

[Tulirose]

Much to say...no time to say it.....

So, I'll just say HI!

and remind the Survivor fans that it's on again tonight, Wednesday! Don't forget!

 

[Windermere]

Cathy,

I believe they had cold water, hot water (for tea or cocoa), coffee, milk and alternated lemonade with fruit punch last year

Nancy

 

[dan and scott]

I also wanted to stop by and say hello!

Hope everyone is doing good!

Dan

 

[Windermere]

Had a good day off today even with the rain. DH and I drove down to Baltimore to visit the National Aquarium. Lots of sharks and sea horses. Made me miss the Living Seas at EPCOT though.

 

[Hopkins]

Windermere,

You were in my neck of the woods. I just love the Inner Harbor and the Aquarium. Where did you eat lunch? ESPN Zone, Hard Rock, Cheesecake Factory, Pizzeria Uno's, California Pizza Kitchen,... .

Tina

 

[Twinave]

Hi Everyone, Got the day off today! DD in on Spring Break.Took her to see Dreamcatcher. The movie was great, but I'm a big Stephen King fan. Definetly Not for everyone. Later, Ave'

 

[papa]

Went to help DD#1 and her husband with their new John Deere riding mower today in Clarksville. They had a big time getting it and cutting their grass. Took some pictures and will make a cd to send you Cathy with all the forsythia in bloom and daffodils along with flowering bradford pear and weeping cherry trees here.

While in Clarksville we stopped to get some dinner and it is quite there due to the 101st Air-mobile division being in Iraq. Flags and yellow ribbons everywhere all over town.

We will be babysitting tomorrow and I will need all of my strength as Katie is starting to crawl and scoot on the floor. She is still stuck in reverse and I have to dig her out from under the couch and the aquarium stand.

Hope that everyone has a great day tomorrow and we are looking forward to this cruise more every day. Mike

 

[@GoofyNut]

Mike ... Does Katie need a back-up alarm? At least then you'd know where she is - hehehe. Be careful with your back, please.

Dan, Mary, Rosemary and the rest .. nice to see you check in and at least let us know you are OK.

Nancy ... thanks on the beverage center refresher. Also, seahorses in Baltimore ... cool.

Eric ... With the new cell-phone working the USA, does that mean we can talk with you once you land on our soil? Congrats!

Well back to work ... but there is never enough daydreaming for me!

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!

 

[Hopkins]

Eric, with that cell phone of yours, it reminds me of a funny story. Bill and I went on the western caribbean cruise in January and we have T-Mobile which has the world phone option. We needed it to call home to check in on Bill's mom since she lives with us and for peace of mind. We used DCL's sea to land phone for when ours didn't work at sea and our cell when we were in ports. In Cozumel from the room we decided to call his mom. The phone tried to find the network in Mexico and it came up MexTel and then kept rebooting itself. It got stuck in a loop and we couldn't do anything. It broke!

[padisneyfan]

Cathy--- They do have ice tea at the beverage station as I drank it through the entire cruise. I had taken Disney Wonder mugs to fill up with Lemonade (for Norm) and Ice Tea for me. I am a Diet Pepsi person, so don't like to drink the coke they have on the ship. The mugs had been our kids when we were on the Wonder. The only problem that I have from drinking the iced tea and tap water on the ship as it is all filter water which must still have alot of sodium in it as my hands and ankles are really swollen during the entire cruise. I could hardly get my dressy sandles on for formal night, my feet were so swollen. Anyone else have that problem? I wish I would had had some Lasix (water pill) to take.

I did stop at Home Depot and mine does have the stickers. So picked up some in assorted colors. I like to scrapbook so they will work well with that also.

Nancy (CI)-- You were close to me also, Inner Harbor is only 50 minutes from my house. We have tickets for an Oriole game in mid May, so will spend the day down there. Shop, eat and take in the game.

Later everyone,

Nancy

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

padisneyfan..Bettemom and Kim aren't going to be coming to Lancaster as planned..do you still want to meet or do you want to postpone it? Just let me know. Either way, it's no problem..if you want to still meet, Cathy, Sarah and I will meet you where ever is convenient for you..Rockvale, Kitchen Kettle, etc. just email me and let me know! I'm always up for a day in Lancaster! Mary Jo

 

[Windermere]

Tina - we did Pizza Uno. We miss the one in Crossroads. Actually one of our former servers from the boat is a manager at the one in Crossroads now. He used to work at DAK until 911 and they had to severely cut back on their international program. In order to stay in the country he had to find a new job fast, thus he ended up at Pizza Uno.

Nancy ( CE ) - We considered going back home via I-83 since there's nothing exciting about 95. Have a friend that used to live in Cockeysville and is now in Sparks, MD. We then decided in the rain that it would be too far out of the way. Some day we will make it out to Lancaster.
