Dec 27/08 NYE Western Cruise - Really New Thread

[tiggerwannabe]

Okay...Melissa came by and picked up her pics.

I won't bore you with the whole album...here are a few I really like.

OKAY so you TOTALLY have to teach me how to do the black & white and a little bit of color.....that looks soooo cool!!!

"Oh I got mine a few days ago" ??????????????? Is that the best you can do? How 'bout a big woo hoo????


That's funny about the sweater.

I guess I'm not totally excited since I've spent WAY TO MANY HOURS on the phone with WDW setting this all up. Each call seems to take more time than necessary. 18 people, seems you should be able to do this stuff online. Also, I still am looking at it as more work for me, because I have to check everything and then pass it to the kids (nephews) and they aren't the best kind for not messing stuff up. I'm dreading having to fix their travel on travel day. Perhaps my phone won't work that day, I think Auntie Lee can handle it

I'll bring the sweater if you bring the dog

If you have photoshop it's pretty easy to do, more tedious than difficult~

In short, I start with two layers of the same photo. One in black and white and one in color. Working with the B&W on top I delete the area of the black and white layer where I want the color copy to come thru~

I can email more specifics if you like, just say the word.

Here's one for Kelly and Brian

Birthing coach: "All you mommies-to-be should know that walking while you’re pregnant is very beneficial. And you husbands, it wouldn’t hurt you to take the time to go walking with your partners."

One husband: "Is it OK if she carries a golf bag?"

Very funny Artie!!!

I have to be honest.. I am really bad about getting exercise, and its mostly because its too cold out for my liking. One day I tried it at the mall, and nearly passed out, it was as hot as hades in there... ugh......

I have not receieved ANY luggage tags yet... why havent I got my stuff yet.. what a bummer!

only 39 days to go til we board the ship!!! I leave in 38 days.. CAN NOT WAIT!

Happy Birthday to my old pal Mickey.

Are you guys going to WDW before the cruise?

I think the luggage tags people are getting are for Magical Express for our precruise stay at WDW.

I'm still waiting for mine. We have decided to rent a car for the duration of our stay, I have not cancelled our ME yet just in case we change our minds again.

Hello my dear friends!!!

So much to do and so little time. It's crazy ~ Christmas Cards and Pics - planning to do that this weekend. Thanksgiving is at our house, Sean turns 2 on 12-12 then we leave on 12-21 for the before cruise trip to WDW. Pretty much nothing is packed ~ and I still haven't finished Christmas shopping - almost done there though.

Artie ~ you pretend to be the Canadian boyfriend better get your water wings ready - and Disneykelly you won't have to help throw him overboard ~ Shannon will take care of that... He's not fond of the whole issue at all so if you have a death wish Artie...hehehehehehehe

Hi!

Is it too late to join your group? We just decided a couple weeks ago to take the NYE cruise. We are:

Eileen 48
Dan 48 (DH)
Sarah 14 (DD)
Katie 10 (DD)

We have late seating. No specific cabin yet since we are GTY. We live in Virginia now, but have lived in New Jersey and Illinois in the past.


We'd be interested in the Grand Cayman excursion ( the boat tour with Nativeway).

In Cozumel, we have a day pass to the Wyndam.

No plans yet for Castaway Cay or Key West.


We've done the 4 day cruise twice so we are really looking forward to the longer cruise.

Eileen

Welcome Eileen and family, great to have you with us, I will add you to our front page.

 

[ohioworkingmom]

Welcome Eileen and family

 

[Aisling]

Welcome Eileen and family! You're going to looooove the 7 day cruise!

 

[disneykelly73]

HI!! Welcome.

Anjelicia, love that we wont have to do any of the HEAVY lifting to send Artie overboard, should he decide to act up!

 

[artman]

Ok, so now Kelly is not as much excited about the cruise as she is to see me get my sorry butt tossed overboard.

I think she is one of those "mean girls"

Here's a cheer you can work on for the cruise:

Lift him high,
Toss him far,
Then we'll have a party.
Goodbye...........Artie.

 

[Aisling]

I was just thinking...I hope my puppy remembers me when I come back home from the cruise.

Maybe notsomuch as not remember...more like obviously upset at you for leaving him so long and more clingy to Mel. (I say that from experience cause Penny was a baby when I left her with John to cruis in 2005.)

Welcome Eileen and family!!!!

Let me know if you need anymore information on the Grand Cayman excursion - the more people that go the cheaper it becomes. If your family decides to go it will be about 50 per person and then an additionaly 10-15 for lunch (paid to Nativeway). So far Aisling and her family are joining my family. We have planned to go to, at the very list, Stingray city and Rum point Beach. So let me know if you are still interested....

For everyone else - if you are interested I need to know prior to Thanksgiving as I have to call and give final numbers to Nativeway then.

Hi Eileen and family, welcome!!

We've been under a snow warning since Sunday and only have 6 inches of snow! I hate when the weather people get you all excited thinking you'll have a ton of snow and you get next to nothing!

Angelica--I'm starting to panic too.

Thanksgiving at our house. I updated my Christmas card list. Shopping for Christmas hasn't even been started. I have no clue what to get my son Jimmy. I'm not spending much since we have the cruise. Already know what to get Brian and Kelly(my kids!). I have my packing list made out, but haven't started yet. Usually, I like to get the toiletries and underclothes started by now.
