February 28, 2009 Bushwacker Banditos Magical Cruise

[aan1701]

And bumping up! Since I bookmark this page, I have no idea where we are in the list of Cruise Meets, but I'm sure we're down in the depths somewhere. So here's a check-in/bump-up.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I don't think the LA fans would put themselves in that category. I think the Celtics are destined to win their championship at home.

On a separate note - there's only 9 days to my birthday. Not like I'm counting or anything...

Happy Monday. Ciao for now. Johnna

Johnna Happy birthday. Also, you may win on your home court and that is fine by me. I would have been sick to my stomach to watch the Celtics win it here in Los Angeles.

Thought I would take my turn to bump us back up to page one !!!!!

Things have been pretty busy around here, having been trying to doge ALL these terrible hail/tornado storms, seems like we have weather every night

The girls and I just got back from a weeks stay in West Des Moines IA...although, where we were staying (aunt and uncle's) wasn't gettting any of the flooding, it was all around us...really is bad there. We happened to be there the same time the tornado hit the boy scout camp...very tragic

I want to all the newcomers...I will have to take time one of these days to look over Johnna's spreadsheet to see who all we have now!!!! I'm hoping the Tinker Family is still amongst us!!!!!

Was thinking that I needed to take a crash course on baseball....now I see I need to also take a crash course on basketball OMG Maybe I will just set there with my foo foo drink and smile like I know what everyone is talking about...that sounds much easier LOL!!!!!!

YAY!!!! Johnna on turning another year older !!!!! hope you have a GREAT DAY!!!! Mark treat her like the queen we all know she is!!!!!

To everyone else...hope you are all doing great!!!!!
It's hard for me too think to much about our cruise...It just makes me that much more anxious for it to get here, seems so far away yet, even though I know it will go fast!!!!! I Can't wait!!!!

Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!

Brenda,

Only an email from you full of stories of flooding and tornados could make me smile...

The kids and I have really started to talk about the cruise...can't wait.

And Alan - are you over my Celtics slapping your Lakers around?

Mark

P.S. - Tell Ron I am getting fitted for a new construction worker hat next week...and the chaps..

hey all, so 3 weeks till I go on my cruise on the magic, then can start planning for this one more

Brenda,

I am over it. If we had Bynum then we would have had the parade. Anyway I love the fact that it is cool to hate the Celtics again.

Hi everyone!

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

Welcome to all the new cruisers. Just a little over 8 months to our cruise!

I wish DCL would put the excursions on St. Croix on their website.

Hey, Johnna, since we have new cruisers, could you email all of us an updated list? Thanks!

Donna

Just checking in to say
To You Lady Story......

I am off from the dead president earnings for the day and could not wait to jump on to wish you HAPPY SPECIAL DAY!!!!!!!!!! LADY STORY

 

[Johnna_Story]

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! 38 today and still going strong!

My darling wonderful husband threw me a surprise party last night - BIG surprise!!! DS let it slip a little bit, but I knew something was up anyway. And it WAS a surprise just how many people were in my house when I got home, and they had cooked, set up and everything!

Wish you all could have been there! Johnna

 

[ejkjmom]

My turn to chime in and wish Johnna a "Happy Happy Birthday"

Hope your day is GREAT!!!!!!

 

[Hanny&AlsMom]

Johnna,
Although I almost missed it, I'm sending some birthday wishes your way! Also, I received the updated list - thanks for keeping track of this.

Hi all!! I'm elated to be joining this thread... just booked our very first cruise for a family get-together. Very first cruise for all 14 of us.

Yes.. 14 of us!! Decided to take the big splurge and so we are treating our family, plus those of my brother and my two sisters to a week of Disney magic on the Magic.

I have been following the discussion and will be sending Johnna our info so we can join the roster. I see that there will be a strong contingent of fellow Canadians on this cruise, particularly Albertans. We currently live in Alberta and the rest of my clan is coming from the east coast (New Brunswick and Maine).

Can hardly wait for next February, but in the meantime, I will be hanging here and joining in the discussions. And as you can see by my avatar, I will be all over the baseball discussion...

John- Your kids are close to my kids' ages. They will be 7 and 11 at the time of cruise though. Welcome....

Guys, the plane tickets still have me Think they will come down after the summer? See we do not have SWA out of here. We have NWA or Sun Country as a choice. The Tink Family has our money sitting there with DCL and I really want to recruise with all of my buddies, but we are holding our breath. Oh what the heck, I have to just figure out how many babies to deliver. I guess it is too late to start passing tic tacs off as BC pills?

Hey BJ, want a BUSHWACKER???? After looking at the fares, I need one or two or three.... Oh, I can not say that, then it will look as if Johnna is right about the . Honestly, last cruise EJKJMOM also known as BJ made me drink it....

Just to let you know, I know nothing about baseball, so I can not chime in to that discussion at all. DH follows it, but prefers basketball and football. You would have to see him to understand.

Hey Lady Story, I saw your twin Gloria Gaynor on "Don't Forget the Lyrics."

 

[Johnna_Story]

Welcome RookieMouse!!! Wow - what a way to start your DisCruise life - with a group of 14!! I can pretty much guarantee you will have a great time.

I'll update the roster and email it to you. As for everyone else - do you want the roster each time someone is added, or just every few weeks for now? As we get closer to cruise time and it changes more frequently, I'll send it more often. But I thought for now you'd rather not be bombarded with multiple emails. Let me know...

Tink- waiting and praying for you that air prices drop soon. I do like your tic-tac idea... And by the way - I taught Gloria everything she knows.

Gotta get some work done and update the list for RookieMouse (although perhaps not in that order...)

Ciao for now - have a great weekend everyone!
Johnna
a.k.a. Lady Story

Hey BJ, want a BUSHWACKER???? Honestly, last cruise EJKJMOM also known as BJ made me drink it....

Yeah WHATEVER!!!!!! I went to twist your arm to have a drink with me...and it was already holding a DRINK LOL!!!!!!!

But...Tinker is right....those Bushwackers are YUMMMY!!!!!! Tell you what Tinker, I promise NOT to make you drink any this cruise, you can just buy them and I will drink them for you, after all, what are freinds for

Hey Johnna (one with SO many names lol)...how was your B-day??? Hope you had a Great day!!!! As far as the list goes...I would vote for just whenever YOU want to e-mail it out to all of us, works for me...we just APPRECIATE you doing this for us

For all of you who are NOT aware of how Johnna EARNED her Gloria Gayner title...you will have to check her out on you-tube!!!! Yes, we have a celebrity amongst us!!!!
On our 2007 cruise, Johnna was pulled out of the crowd to lip-sync "I will Survive" and Johnna, I must admit...you truley put Gloria to shame!!!!LOL

Also, that same night Johnna's hubby and my hubby were pulled aside to complete the ever so well known group "The Village People" in singing YMCA!!!! Mark was the Construction Worker and Ron was the Leather Man!!!!! (you can also check them out on you-tube!!!!)

That night honestly was the Hi-light of our trip, it was 70's night, and what made it so much fun was hanging out so many of our Dis group that we had met, we really did have a fun time ...we laughed till we had tears!!!!

Now I must "Rookie Mouse" (cute name) and his WHOLE family!!!!! How exciting to be cruisng with your so many family members..you will be making memories that will be long remembered

Happy Friday to all!!!!! Hope you all have a great weekend!!!!

Welcome Rookie Mouse. Blue Jay fan. Well no one is perfect. It could be worse, you could like the Yankees.

 

[donmil723]

Johnna,

I haven't had a chance to check the disboards for the last few days and I realized I missed your birthday! So I'll just wish you a Happy Belated Birthday! Sounds like you had a fun party!

Thanks for the updated list and, I agree with Brenda, that whenever you want to send them out is fine!

Enjoy your weekend!

Donna
