Cruise 10/11/2003 Part 2

[@GoofyNut]

GEEZ ... You guys post a lot ....Oh Wait, maybe it's just cause I've been out of the loop that makes it seem like a lot! I've finally caught up (I think).

I thought that the Baltimore Cruise thingy was "DISNEY CASUAL"!
When I called and made my reservations they didn't say a thing about a dress code at all. I agree with MaryJo ... they reallllllllly don't want to have to deal with a bunch of MICKEY FANATICS.

Love the latest house ... now where do I pick up the winning Power Ball Ticket? AND YES, If I won and bought the house, we would have a DIS meet there.

The puter in our HQ is finally back up again but at times limping a little. Major problem in Chicago due to the storms and that is what did us in.

Have finally broken down and got a laminator at WalMart so I can do the name tags at leisure.

NAME TAGS & T-SHIRT LOGOS WILL BE UNVAILED AT THE BALTIMORE MEET!

Yes the Nascar race is this weekend at LongPond - 8 miles from my house. Maybe we'll take a little trip to the local airport and watch some of the drivers get in their private jets. Sad that makes for an "event" in our little neck of the woods!

Did you guys see where the giraffe got struck with lighting at Animal Kingdon Just as sad as that poor mommy dolphin. BTW do you get in trouble if you swim with the wild dolphins? Ave, I remember your husband talking with Art about being in trouble for feeding them.

Gotta run - work calls Or should I say screams!

Where did everybody go? I finally get back to posting and then everybody leaves ... to quote someone famous "WHAT'S UP WITH THAT"

BTW ... Baltimore Cruise Dress Code, see this site
http://www.harborcruises.com/Info.htm I believe the dress code only applies to the DINNER cruise and not the lunch cruise.
SO DISNEY CASUAL IT IS?

OK, weather is beautiful, it's Friday and we are going to a Red Baron's game tonite with fireworks ... ing for Joy!

Check on you later to make sure I didn't scare you away permanently!

Hi Gang,
Boaardwalk4me..the brunch is on Monday at 10:30. I've got another idea for brunch as well. I'm thinking.........maybe a group brunch at Lumiers. They have a buffet on some days, and seating is open. That way no reservations are needed and it's Free (or as my sister says, it's included in the priceof the cruise ) Maybe Thursday (Day at Sea) ???? What do ya'll think????
@GoofyNut...You do not grt in trouble swimming with the dolphin, it's feeding them that gets you a mandatory court appearance and a hefty fine. (up to $3000) DH got off with just a $300 fine, but he also missed a day of work. I think it's a little stupid since the fine for KILLING a dolphin is $500. Go figure!
Later, Ave'

Cathy--- so glad to see you posting again. Thanks for clearing up the 2 hour cruise dress code. So casual attire it will be.
Enjoy the game. If I ever decide to go to the Pocono 500, can I put up a tent in your yard? Then we can just walk to the race track.

Have a good weekend.

Nancy

Thanks Cathy, thought that I was going to have to break out the tennessee leiderhosen.(biboveralls) Looking forward to seeing everyone in Baltimore. Mike

 

[RellingTwin]

Cathy, count on us to camp in your yard too!

Ave, if I remember correctly ( a long shot I know ) Thursday lunch is the SEAFOOD BUFFET! So lunch with 100 of our closest frieds sounds great!

It is offical...I can NOT get Friday Aug 1st off from work So..no Baltimore trip for us. I also thought abut going to Florida so George could fix the glass door my nephew mistook for the fairway, but we are just too short handed. I hope everyone has a wonderful time in Baltimore.

Hi Folks,
I didn't switch on my puter last night - I preferred to watch "Stripes" with B. Murray & H. Ramis on DVD.

Today we have our GRAND MEET at Darmstadt with 100% of all German and English Cruisers attending Try to beat that one, Americans
Yes, I packed the cam and tomorrow the picture will be on the homepage.

 

[Silentshot]

Well I called Darmstadt and the DRESS CODE there for the WHOLE town is what ever you want to wear.......

[bettemom]

I can see that the German/English crowd is going to be a constant source of 'giggles'.....Have a fun meet you four !!!!

Viking, maybe I should send my brother-inlaw from Seeheim Jugneheim. That would increase your precentage, would I get exact points!

Hi Everyone -- did the long trek again last night to pick DS up for the weekend. Couldn't leave work early so we didn't get home til about 1am. Tired this morning.

I can sympathize with Eric about the name thing. I only rarely find mugs, keychains etc. with my name on them. I always look but rarely find although I suspect I could find my name in Scotland. I asked one time at WDW and was told that I could special order for an extra $12. I passed on that. I think this is partly why my DS has such a common name!

Looking forward to Baltimore and glad to hear that jeans and tshirts are ok -- will probably wear shorts and a disney tshirt.

Must go and get ready as we are going to the ballgame this afternoon.

Yes Matty,
Seeheim-Jugenheim is barely half an hour away from Darmstadt, so it would be a piece of cake for him to join us

 

[hopelea]

has anyone read the tread about:

Why we won't use the Radisson anymore

I just read all the replies on that one. It makes me a little nervous about staying there. I don't want to stay in a dive.
Has anyone every stayed there before? I am tempted to change to the Hampton Inn at Cocoa Beach.

Hope

Hi Folks,

our hompepage has just been updated:
Gaby & Jeff and Missy & Tammy can now be seen there.
I also cleaned the page up to gain some space: I downsized and abbreviated the text, I downsized the pictures and rearrranged them. There's not much space left on the homepage About another 8 pics may find a spot and then it's completely packed.
Fortunately I have 5 more log-ins left on AOL and if necessary I start a second page and link it to the first an vice-versa.

Anja and I are now less than 8 weeks away from our well earned vacation

We spent a wonderful afternoon in an Italian Icecream Parlour in Downtown Darmstadt and talked a lot. This cruise will definitely be fun!!! We'll meet again soon and make more plans.

 

[taswira]

Eric - The page looks good except the only thing wrong with downsizing the pics is that some of them (mine in particular since it is a real close-up!) look a bit "warped" now.

I don't know about the others, but for mine, would you mind replacing it with the pic from my sig below? It is located <B><a href="http://www.primateprojections.com/travel/369sm.jpg">HERE</A></B> and is only 7372 bytes (NOT kilobytes) in size.

Thanks!

 

[RellingTwin]

Hope, we have stayed at the Radisson 2X and have loved it. In the 3 years of reading this board this is the fisrt time I have heard such negitive things about the Radisson. The mosquitoes were terrible the firsst year but that seems to be much better, also the resturant was not so great the 1st trip, but was much better the 2nd trip.
Our room was spottless, the pool was great, and the resturant very nice. We look forward to staying there again. PLUS The view of the ship in the morning made it REALLY special!

Hey Shari,

you live in the land of plastic surgery: See a surgeon and have him warp you to match your picture
With the next "overhaul" of the site I'll replace your pic.
The problem is, that the pics have to be adjusted manually to fit perfectly into their respective spot. Unfortunately I can only lock the axis of movement vertically or horizontally, but for proportional scaling the diagonal axis must be locked.
Only positive side-effect: I can make everybody appear thinner.
Only negative side-effect: I can make everybody appear thicker

 

[taswira]

Eric - The problem is that it makes me look like I HAVE had plastic surgery (NOT me - just my sister!). It makes my eyes look really WEIRD and my eyes are IMHO my only GOOD feature. That's why I made it a point to send a photo that met your requested specs, but I DO understand about the page getting too cluttered and file sizes too large now.

Oh, well . . Guess that's what I get for submitting my picture - LOL.

 

[RellingTwin]

Just 11 short weeks or 77 days to GO!

I took 6 kids to see Spy Kid 3D today! Movie was ok but I had to really resist the temptation of leaving the kids and slipping into see Seabiscuit!This was Regina's 11th birthday party. My baby is growing up

Eric the web page looks great. I'm glad your Eroupean meet went well. I must say, I was beginning to think SilentShot was you in diguise!! Now we have proof you are not one in the same!

Shari, I think your's is the best picture on the page!
