AWESOME!

Ya, night Holly!

I should turn in too.

O.k., on a map, where is Celebration FL / ST. Joe? Most importantly, how far is it from WDW, the other parks, and the DCL ships?

 

[purplern]

Every day is going to feel like a monday for a while. I"m still taking the ginger pills 'cause I feel so dizzy still. first the ship and now from the van.... blech!

Speaking of sickos=- how are things going in the LCT part of FL? Any news?

I'm so glad Tim is considering a 4dayer. He missed out, but not really. VICKI- I love the photos of Tim's reaction. I can see how he was biting his lip. How hilarious! I'm sure Amanda and Richard thought it was pretty cool to be in on the action.

Here's a link on Celebration FL. Its seems perfect and beautiful. The pics of the houses remind me of the houses from the Music Man (musical). http://www.celebrationfl.com/residential/residential.html

Yes they did!!

Kerry, Are you going to do a trip report?

I'm sure you are swamped in newbie-itits with your new job. We miss you!

I'll be your neighbors if you move to Celebration but I'll be 3 hours away (unless of course, I relocate to Cape Canaveral or maybe Vero Beach?!) I HAVE to be coastal and Celebration will be a pit to me in the summer. Come visit me at the beach y'all, k?

When my mom makes dinner for us, it's always enough to feed the entire DCL population...you can all stay with me and we'll eat at her house!

Nite all, I am off to bed.

Captain Logan's costume was great. We were standing near him during the Pirate Party.
No ship rolling for me. Tae Ja--are you ill now? I have not caught up, just jumped in to post. Congrats on winning the internet usage!! How much were you actually in there???
DS#2 fell on the sidewalk between the Poly and Grand Floridian when he was killing time before our Thursday night Luau. He said the sidewalk did not match the roll that his brain expected. He got some great first aid at the Floridian and did not tell us about it for hours.

oh i hope they're dead the last weekend of the month! that's when i'll be there. i have to call united tomorrow about my flight. i was supposed to be leaving at about 8pm on friday. but they cancelled the flight and now it's not till 10 or something. so i'm going to call and say they never consulted me and ask if i can get on the 5pm flight. that way i'm down there in time for mnsshp!

they should move you whichever way you want to go.
there is a rule (called a rule 240 unacceptable schedule change) in place that you can usually get whatever you want for.

michael was originally flying into jacksonville (as I was supposed to still be there in Florida for the cruise) and they changed his flight a couple of days after I got back (by a mere 23 minutes) but I used the rule 240 to get them to refund the money so I could rebook him on another flight to Orlando.

yeah i figured there was something about them changing it without asking me. there is no way i want to get down there at midnight!

O.k., I'm real bad about the who, what, why, where and when, but some one was going to Atlantis with Mexican Mousekteer....how was it? I'm sure you all had a blast!

Hi Taeja, that was me. Julie and her family were as sweet as could be. Atlantis was nice and it was HUGE. There were so many pools, beaches, and slides that it was hard to choose from. Unfortunately, the weather started looking iffy around 1:00 and they closed all the pools. So we just headed back to the ship. It was a lot of money spent to basically tour Atlantis, but I'm glad we did it (and it's tax deductible for me).

 

[Luv2Travel]

Isn't she a travel agent? lol

good memory - I"m impressed!

bummer that they closed the pools! i wanted to get over there and check it out but there wasn't time before or after my dive

 

[Luv2Travel]

I felt it from the start. It wasnt too bad but I was swaying. I thought it was really bad in the theater.

I felt it the whole time too and am still feeling it! Never got sick, just feel like I'm moving all the time and my head feels "swimmy" (how do you like that made up word? ).

I'm still catching up, so you've probably already said, but how was the dive? I saw pictures that were posted of you going to your dive.

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!
