DIS Dads DDC XXVII: Penguins in Paradise!

[twokids0204]

I think we are going to take a walk to the Queen's Staircase and Fort Fincastle and then back aboard the ship. DW has a spa appointment in the afternoon while DS and I will hit the Aquaduct. We haven't heard a lot of great things about Nassau.

We did a walking tour of Nassau inclding the Queen's Staircase and Fort Fincastle. Then we went to Junkanoo Beach. It's free, and only a 5 minute walk from the port.

They also have 3 beers, and 3 shots for $9.99. The Lager was pretty good.

Ok guys we have gotten some quotes in. We are looking for at least two more dads to join in with us.Randall commented on possibly stopping in but not golfing. Pllease contact Don or Myself to let us know if your interested. Paul has also shown some interest

Almost makes me wish that I played golf. Too far to drive to just hang out on the sidelines with Randall. Sounds like a good time though.

Wow... I go away for a little alone time with the wife, come back and we have a new thread!!

Penguins in Paradise?? is that a Buffett tune?

Hope everyone is doing well. We are now 149 days until my upcoming trip, just in case you are all wondering.

The running is going well so far. Team Sparrow will be disowning me for actually running on a regular basis. I've confirmed that I can actually run a 5k. I ran just over 4 miles on sunday. So I'll probably be needing a new team.

Another illness has taken hold here. DW and DS are both sick. DD is fighting through it valiantly. I am only showing slight symptoms... so far.

hope everyone is doing well, and that you don't have people passing out next to you everywhere you go... or people ringing your doorbell at 11:30 at night to ask for money.

Nonesense, we got to cheer for somebody, don't we? Just got to to keep the rum ready for you.

Morning Dads...

Brent, how was Day 1?

 

[afwdwfan]

Good morning.

I came to the conclusion last night that I'm too old to keep playing basketball with guys who just graduated from high school. But in all honesty, I don't see that stopping me from trying...

I can see the end of the week on the horizon.

I've never let a little thing like "common sense" stop me before. You just need to play the part of the wise, grizzled veteran. (i.e.: Play dirty.)

I don't play dirty. I just foul hard.

Do Penguins taste like Cheeseburgers? I may become a penguin fan...

It might be grilled Penguin.

If you make the journey, the beers will be on me

I'll make the journey on yours or CJ's credit card.

I like it.

My wife is packaging up all the ones my colleagues ordered from my daughter. I think I have to tote in something like 80 boxes.

The workout for the year.

.

Hope everyone gets well soon. We need you to run for the team. Looks like I have the drinking section well recruited. You get you another runner.

I know, right??
!

Aren't you in the Top 5 of overall post padders? And, you're complaining about page 15? C'mon Man!

Morning all…

I ticked off every joint and mussels in my body last night. Was volunteering up at the high school breaking down and storing risers and what ever else was in the way. We’ve got about 500 kids from all over the area coming in for regional honors band clinics and performances starting Friday and needed to make sure all of them had room to work and practice. It’s amazing how much heavier all that gear has gotten over the years. That must be the problem because it can’t be that I’m just getting older and even more out of shape.


Can it?

Checking in.
My DW and I are still planning to fly out to Yuma, AZ, in mid-March to visit friends and to attend the airshow in El Centro, CA. We might also spend a day in San Diego. Of course, this all depends on how my DW is feeling in another 3 weeks or so.
If anyone is wondering about the future of the Navy's Blue Angels.......so are we! If the budget cuts go through, it doesn't bode well for the Blues, the Thunderbirds or the Golden Knights. As of today, the Blues are still planning to fly a full airshow schedule this year. For updated info, you can check their official website or their FB page.
I'll check back when I can. Everyone take care!

Good to here from you Mike. Hope the trip happens and that everything that need to go well for it to do so actually does go well. Y’all are always on the prayer list over here.

Take good care sir.

Well, 'we' have decided to move our trip to WDW from Thanksgiving 2013 back to June/July 2014. Something about a thing called a 'budget' or some nonsense. I thought part of the experience of going to WDW was financing it, but she seems to think paying cash is better.

At least we are still planning a trip, albeit over a year from now.

Budgets and reality are the two greatest impediments to my Disney obsession.

or it's cold, snowy and have nothing better to do...

That makes more sense then the other explanations I’ve heard so far…

Evening guys...first day went well I think, didn;t get to do much more then the basics (cash and stock) boss was preoccupied with the auditor all day. Quite tired tonight though

First thing was first, marked my two weeks for Disney off on the vacation planner.

Ya’ done good…
on the first day and especially on your understanding of priorities.

Lack of desire to move is a sympton? Uh-oh, what do I have now?

Same thing all of us got…
Terminal lazy.

Fun fact: In "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" attraction, there is a picture on the wall of Mr. Toad handing the deed over to Pooh.

Did not know that one.
Anyone got a picture of that one?

Good night for DS tonight in basketball. He played with his club team tonight and he finished with 10 points, 3 blocks and a handfull of rebounds in their 39-37 win. We are off to the middle school provincials this weekend, hopefully to bring home the banner.

An excellent outing. Congrats and continued success for the boy.

Morning, but too late on the second part...

I think we are going to take a walk to the Queen's Staircase and Fort Fincastle and then back aboard the ship. DW has a spa appointment in the afternoon while DS and I will hit the Aquaduct. We haven't heard a lot of great things about Nassau.

Theres stuff to get into in Nassau, but you have to look abound for it and avoid the panhandlers where possible. I put up a good bit of information about the place in my Cursing TR if you’re interested (it’s the “Experiment 627” link in my Sig… scroll down to the 2nd or 3rd post that lists “Bonus Features” and there will be links to the dissertations on Nussau). Myself… I’ve been there a couple of times. Now we just stay on the ship and take advantage of the fact that the newbies have left for the day.

Nice! I like it…
But I still say Go Team Couch Tater!!!

80 boxes! A nice sales outing.
Ya’ll done good for the troop.

Budget, smudget. Get a Disney Chase Visa and do 6 months finance free. I've heard of this elusive "cash" thing but I'm thinking it's the financial equivalent of a unicorn.

I may have to lift that phrase for later use.

Another illness has taken hold here. DW and DS are both sick. DD is fighting through it valiantly. I am only showing slight symptoms... so far.

Prayers that all will heal quickly…

hope everyone is doing well, and that you don't have people passing out next to you everywhere you go... or people ringing your doorbell at 11:30 at night to ask for money.

Clearly y’all need to move.
I hear that Orlando is nice.

Yikes! Page 15? Really?

What? You were expecting more?

I know, right??

Ahhhhhhh…
Actually our weekend starts this evening.
We’ve got traveling to do and a lot to get done in the next three days.

 

[boreas154]

Our cruise documents have arrived! Our cruise documents have arrived!!!

Looks like I'm gonna be on the return leg of my trip when you take off. Have a great cruise!
