[artman]

Was she singing, "HEY...HEY BABY, ....WHO.....HA..... I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU'LL BE MY GIRL"

I can't get that song out of my head.

OMG!!! Now you all are back and I can't keep up again

heeheehee...just kidding. It's GREAT to see you all had such a great time.

Tigg...we are booked on 4/2010 TA, join us, it's cheap and long...then looking at the new ships first voyage, got a dummy booked already for that one too

Didja book the Dummy onboard?
I'm plannin on getting John over to Germany before this sails,
when we get there I'll tell him that the ship is how we are getting home


4/2010 TA Noted!

John is being a real nudge about me getting him on the ship.

Now that he's seen two people in the last week on the news having "disappeared" off of ships he's got more ammo to tell me why he can't sail one.

Who wants to be my sailing buddy if I make it on Nan's Trans Atlantic?

(ok - back to read and catch up on the last two pages - brb)

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Yeah well I heard you singing on NYE on deck 9 when you thought no one was paying atention!

Awwww....Aisling, you'd BETTER write a trip report on this one!

I enjoyed reading your quick recap,

the whole thing puts me right there with you guys~

and to all you non-2005 cruisers -
I am happy you all now know why I love these people for life~

 

[nskjerven]

Kara informed me before leaving - no singing in public

okay, it wasn't that you were in lala snooze land, huh remember I have photos to prove all I accuse

BUT...kara sings in public and in my ear (all during dreams) but I love her too remember I have a red head that is a bit like her also...she only sings during little mermaid songs, okay and hannah montana songs, okay and any other song that strikes her fancy

Was she singing, "HEY...HEY BABY, ....WHO.....HA..... I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU'LL BE MY GIRL"

I can't get that song out of my head.

what's wrong with that song in your head...it's in mine too, perhaps we are still on the boat

and I have a dummy in my pocket


Love Shack baby love shack...since he danced with me to it on NYE and bought me that HUGE diamond ring and asked me to marry him again I'm sticking with Paul, but you can be my Matron of Honor (that means we shoot tequilla before the ceremony...on the Magic of course

Call me insane, I'm looking into another cruise! This time, Chad wants to plan it so that we'll have time to do WDW for a week after, so that means it has to be a summer cruise. I'm just playing with the idea, as funds are LOW after this big splurge!

 

[disneykelly73]

Hey everyone..

Our flight got in on time.. We have all our laundry done, the majority of the xmas decorations down.. and all pretty much done by Brian and Brian alone. My cold that I was getting the last day flared up, and I was not much help the rest of the weekend.. I also ended up calling in sick to work yesterday and slept til 11am I was so yucky!!

Oh.. Tigg.. I asked at Mickey's Mates, and she said they didnt have capt mickey.. they had had pirate mickey, but they had sold out 3 weeks before and had not received the new shipment. Sorry.

Brian and I had a great time.. despite my seasickness.. lol.. The kitties certainly missed us.. and we tell my step kids this Saturday that I am pregnant. I am a bit nervous on how that is going to go over.. but it is what it is!! lol

It is important to always be planning something.

Glad to hear you guys made it home ok. Unfortunately a lot of us brought home a souvenir illness, Owen and I were both at the doctor yesterday and Rus told me yesterday that he was not well either.

 

[disneykelly73]

Oh no. What did the dr say??

I just got the ok from my dr today to get Robitsum DM. I told him the baby was going to go deaf w/the amount of coughing I am doing. Oh.. and poor Brian went and slept on the couch sometime after 3am.. I guess I was coughing a lot in my sleep and clearing my throat. Poor guy. He had to be up for work at 5am.

I just ran to CVS and got the Robitsum, and took my first dosage. No relief yet, but hopefully soon.

Sorry to hear that everyone is getting ill. I was thinking it was just me w/the low immune system...

 

[artman]

Oh no. What did the dr say??

He said it was just a viral thing, nothing we can do except drink lots of fluids and take some tylenol. Owen is running a fever and feels generally crappy, I am over that part of it and now just have the cough. Poor Brian and Claudia are "enjoying" the same nightly lullaby, the constant hacking. I am afraid to go to sleep for fear she may smother me with a pillow to put me out of her misery.

 

[Marla Hellwig]

Sorry to hear some of you came home sick - hopefully you will be back to normal real soon

I know there were a few that I didn't meet - and I am sorry that I didn't get to

Going to help Kara work on pictures - right now they are either still on camera, on memory cards, or disks

Her one teacher asked class where everyone went and what was the most exciting thing they did over the break

Kara piped up with "I went to Hell" and then showed her keychain that we got

 

[disneykelly73]

Brian claimed that I was humming in my sleep as well.. I think this is just agony sounds.. I dont normally hum.. let alone while I sleep.

I think you are smart on the sleeping thing. Hopefully Brian has watched enough CSI to KNOW they would retrieve the fibers from the pillow if he chose to smother me w/it.

He literally got up and went and slept on the couch. I feel horrible about that. He has to get up so early for work.

That's our Artie!

I know there were a few that I didn't meet - and I am sorry that I didn't get to

I am going to apologize for not meeting anyone but Aisling (and that was a quick hello as we were walking by for the lifeboat drill)

I think I warned you all I was not a "social" kind, and then I completely forgot about the 3 pm meeting in the Promenade lounge, that was till I saw Aisling at the lifeboat drill. And then my kids start teasing me about my online name (that is because aisling yells out, hi ohioworkingmom!) So needless to say - I am sorry I didn't meet you all in person. I still had a wonderful time, and I can tell you all had even more fun that I did.

Thanks everyone for letting me in on all of the wonderful conversations that have taken place over the last year!!

Ditto for me . . . even when I have been much more active on a thread, I tend to take the vacations more as times for me and my girls -- but this time I didn't do anything with anyone!

We've been sick since we returned as well -- I had two of my three girls at the doctor yesterday . . . the price we paid for so much luck with the weather on the cruise, I guess!

 

[ohioworkingmom]

So sorry many of you are sick - we all have been fine since returning, thankfully. We did struggle trying to get out of Orlando, first due to the fog in Atlanta, then a smaller plane, then once in Atlanta, more fog. Finally got to the airport in Columbus at 1:30 am on Sunday morning and then a 2 hour drive home, we were exhausted

 

[nskjerven]

went to the doctor today and came back with a load of drugs:

antibotic
prednisone
inhaler
nueblizer treatment (will be borrowing the machine from my sister)
and codine cough syrup

And I'm not telling Paul about the pillow and smother idea he'd use it on me for sure tonight. He is not happy about my deathly sounding coughing fits. I will suggest that other husbands have been on couches and see if that idea flys thanks Artie

 

[CADZNYCHC]

hi all....just got home about an hour ago....
back up a few days......
got off the ship early - Rus picked us up & we went right to Beach Club - the condo wasn't ready so walked over to Epcot for lunch at Rose & Crown...room was ready so went back over to get unpacked....WOW what a nice place that is!!! And Rus & Chel really treated us to a beautiful 2 BR condo....all the more reason to buy DVC for sure!!!
We went to Disney Studios that day...had a nice time...still a lot of ppl but it was Sat. - Sun, Ry & I went to An Kingdom, Rus & Chel shopped then we all had dinner together that evening & we all went to MK & Epcot Monday (photos from Epcot dive coming soon)...
Today, Ry & I got up before 3...out bellman came early at 3:20, so we were in the lobby just as the 3:30 a.m. Magical Exp bus arrived; we took that one, rather than our 4:10. Left Orlando on time & arrived into San Fran to find our flt to Monterey delayed due to fog...but fortunately only a 20 minute delay & i was in the office by 1:30....Hubby definitely glad to see us both!!! and we were happy to see him too!!!

The company he works for is closing the facility where he's at.....employees are all being notified on Thursday. Fortunately he's been offered another position with them.....the downside to that is he'll be gone a lot of the time...but i'll be okay - i do have a wedding to help plan....

OHHHH and some GOOD NEWS....while we were gone, Ryan was accepted to St Mary's College!!! but at $33K+ tuition & $11K R&B, we're going to need a WHOLE lot of scholarships....

LOVED sailing with all of you!!! Definitely created some long lasting friendships!!! Miss you all so very much - glad that you're all home safely....

Brian / Kelly - sure missed saying goodbye - didn't realize you wouldn't be at farewell b/fast - please PM me your address - have something to send you...

See you all SOON i hope...Please be sure to let me know if you ever get to Calif....going to watch the video of Rus & Ryan's epcot dive....more later friends!!!

 

[Orlanr]

We got home safe and early. Both Chel and I are sick, we kept each other awake with the coughing. Dr. tomorrow, I hope we get something to help us. I felt sorry for the people sitting near us on the plane, coughing all the way from Orlando.
The cruise was great, There is an open invitation to anybody if they ever make it out to California to look us up.
Nan: Did you know I live in the Bay Area?
