Disney Wonder Sept 3-7, 2006 Part 4

I think we all just need to jump back on the Wonder.

I'm getting the suitcases!

I really think your parents need to talk to the coach. He should at least realize what this will cost your family...and at Christmas! He should be reminded that he originally knew about this and that it's extremely unfair to change his mind at such a late date.

i'm hoping that my mom will manage to talk my dad into emailing or calling him. and that hopefully if they do he won't take it out on hayley cause that's not fair to her. because it's not as if she's asked anyone to talk to him for her. of course it would make things easier if she tried to talk to him more. but i agree and hopefully my parents will do something. i hate just sitting here and watching it happen, knowing there's nothing i can do to change anything

 

[PirateCutie05]

Exactly! He can add on the therapy that it will cost the family for the emotional stress of screwing up their Christmas!

Yes I will need intense therapy for being disappointed and not being able to go horseback riding AGAIN!

You qouted me before I could fix my spelling error. I hope it works out. Let us know! I am waiting for the Raider Game!!!!!

lol no worries about spelling. i'm the worst speller alive. so i don't care when someone else spells something wrong

i told my parents yesterday that there was a game on after the skins game. they thought i was lying. man the skins better win. carp, this is getting close. 2min warning... vikings are getting close to field goal range... ugh. we can't lose. i was trash talking the cowboy fans today. and we can't lose to the vikings, they're my dad's team (for some weird reason, he's not from minnesota...)

 

[sugaswim]

I'm getting the suitcases!

Yes he is. He lived there before he lived in Maryland.

 

[sugaswim]

Yes he is. He lived there before he lived Maryland.

he's not from there!

 

[PirateCutie05]

he's not from there!

Oh my gosh! lol...haven't you heard the man talk? He always says he was a Vikings fan before a Skins fan! Of course you're going to be a Vikings fan when you lived in Minnesota for part of your life! That counts as being from there.

oh the dive was awesome! i haven't posted about it yet. i guess now would be a good time. i thought we weren't going to be able to go. as soon as we got to stuart cove to get our equipment i heard thunder. i thought, oh this is great, what a waste. but i guess it doesn't really matter (later my mom asked if they had us out while it was storming. i said yep i was on the bottom of the ocean). going out to the first site we dove out it was VERY wavy. and it was raining. first spot we dove at they called the 'bahama mama' there was a wreck. it was really neat. and there were lots of sharks. they asked if we wanted to see sharks everyone (all 6 people on the excursion) were like yeah! i couldn't believe it when i put my face in as soon as i got in the water that there were sharks swimming right under us. we were also at what they call 'the wall'. it's about 70-80 feet, but then there was this edge where the depth just drops off to some crazy depth. it was really cool. but we saw some fish, and the sharks. swam around the wreck and i held some weird looking underwater bug. i'm not sure how long we were down on the first dive as i didn't have my watch on for that one. when we got back up to head over to the next spot i had a little episode where i thought i was going to get sick. it was weird, i've never gotten sick in my life, and i've been on boats a lot. my grandparents used to have a boat and we'd go up to deep creek every summer. and this was my 4th cruise and i've never had a problem. i think it was probably just the change in going from the bottom where it was calm back to the surface where it wasn't calm. but i drank some water and sat at the end of the boat and was fine. then we went over to do a reef dive at a place they called the 'hollywood bowl' over by 'golden key'. the key gets it's name from the birds that live there and no humans are allowed over there. they call the reef hollywood bowl because almost every movie that has an underwater scene is filmed there. and the fish down there were amazing! we were only about 35 feet deep during this dive and we were down for about 45-50min. i knew the fish were going to be pretty but i never knew that they came in some of those colors! bright blues and teals. it was amazing! and the visibility on both of the dives was incredible. you could see so far. oh i loved it!

So glad you had such a good time. Were you worried about the sharks?

Jan

I wasn't. They were just big fishies in the water.

I was just saying is all. Since you didn't seem to understand.

 

[sugaswim]

Jan

yeah, it was awesome! actually you know what, no i wasn't worried about sharks one bit. i decided to be daring and yell i wanted to go see sharks when they asked what we wanted to see. the only time it threw me off was when i looked down after i had first got in and there were at least 5 swimming around right under me. but they were really docile. they weren't bothered by us and we weren't bothered by them. sometimes i'd turn around and see one right behind me and think, whoa! as long as you're not bothering them they won't bother you. they were swimming right around with the fish that were there too. not bothering the fish either.

and clearly you haven't understood my joke an di'm not going to explain it...


uh oh... dwon to the wire... oh no... vikings lead by a field goal. 60seconds left and we have no more timeouts... COME ON MARK!!! *crosses fingers*

 

[sugaswim]

nail bitter! good return. 54 seconds left to play... oh man... oh please. we can't lose the first game

I think it's different when you're diving beneath the water than when you're thrashing around on top of the water. Every time we went diving we'd see sharks, barracuda & tons of fish and they could have cared less that we were there. I think you pose more of a threat (or look more like dinner) when you're thrashing around above.

The Orioles need to score 2 more runs to tie it up with the Yankees. And it's the top of the 9th...

I was so excited I got the green disboard Mickey head. It really was a nice suprise. It was so nice meeting so many of you and we had a great time. Thanks to Taeja for making the Mickey, It really made my day. We went to WDW for 4 days after the cruise and just got back to work this morning. BAH -HUMBUG Oh well the cruise was great.

Thanks for the note of welcome on our door!! I saw that green Mickey but had no idea who lived there. What was the deal?? When you get it, you sign it, and pass it on so the last one who gets it gets to keep it?
Jan

 

[sugaswim]

oh thank you! nice catch and out of bounds... that was great...

 

[purplern]

ooo you know what, he should! replace all the money for our flights and pay me about $500 for my scuba stuff. i did get use out of it, but not the intended use. and now i don't know when i'll get to go again. maybe if i legthen one of my upcoming weekends at wdw i'll go at epcot. but it's still not the same as the caribbean *sigh*

Start getting him where it hurts and he'll sing a different tune
