From the Med to the Panama Canal

[seaulater]

yes, the wait list is a really valid question

Have a great time on the Med. cruise. Don't take very much stuff and don't unpack - you will be so very busy. It got to the point at the end of the 11 night where lots of people didn't even dress for our last semi formal night because we were coming back from excursions. Watch your weight on luggage and triple ask your limits.

Gydell, we're staying at OKW and going the weekend before we leave. We bought annual passes to WDW with the intention of going a few times. Of course, since we made those plans the airline fares have really changed.

Linda, what did you do in Acapulco? I've always wanted to go there. I really wanted to go to Manzanillo.

We did the Shotover Jet in Acapulco. It was a blast. It was through DCL. You can check out their website shotoverjet.com

Good to know guys! We hired a private car in Mazatlan too and really liked that as well.

We did Randi's Happy Horses in Mazatlan. It was a great non-Disney excursion. Here are our pictures:

We asked our DGS's parents if he could go on the Disney cruise. They thought it over for awhile (Mom's really worried about the 14 day separation) and told us today that he could go along. So add Elijah to the list. He will be 5 yo at cruising time.

That's wonderful Susie!

That's great news, Susie. He couldn't be more adorable.

Anybody get an e-mail about an increase in the price of the cruise? It's been a lousy couple of days and now this!

 

[milestogo]

I didn't get the notice, but I did see on the disboards notes. Bummer!

One less cocktail each day to cover that

We got letters in the mail this week - $100/person - ouch!! One more reason this trip is getting less and less likely for us...

[milestogo]

welcome back, how was the 10 day and what was your favorite (s) port?

 

[scottishwee35]

Hi

My favourite port - Sorrento and Amifia Drive and

Villefranvche - Nice, St Paul, Monto Carlo and Eze are beautiful country too.

I lives in UK, only flight for 3 hours to Italy so I would go back to Amifia Drive again for couple days just two of us

Or go back to Meditterrean with Disney Cruise in future .

1. Sorrento and Amifia Drive (Naples)
2. Villefranche - Beautiful
3. Rome - Jumping into external with disney excursion
4. Pisa - La Spezia
5. Oblia - only shopping, look nice small area
6. Marsellies - okay
7. Palmero - very old building and very dirty place

We stayed in Barcelona for 3 nights and it was very huge place which we didn't think. We went travel with metro and bus also hop on, hop off which was very good. Like to go back there without kids and see more!

Saw something happened at Guell park, that someone stoled chinese people - video camera!!

Well guys, I'm going to need all of you to keep me motivated for this trip. We've had a sleepy thread because we're so far away from this easy going trip, but since I have been in full summer work mode (which means getting ready for another school year) it has really hit me that I have to make some changes or this trip isn't going to happen for us.

It's not the trip I need motivation with, it's that we are going to absolutely have to increase our income in our business to keep this trip. We just found out that 50% of our daughters tuition ($15,000 for freakin Kindergarten!) will be due April 1st (assuming she gets into the school we are trying to get into.) Followed by our tax payment (we pay - never recieve!) And I think our final payment of this trip is Feb 10th?

So, I'm setting my list of goals to accomplish this year and it will help me if you guys have some goals to set up to keep us all going.

We have been working really hard to change our business from the extensive lecturing to being full time publishers and radio guests. This requires an enormous amount of set up and writing on top of our sold out lecture tour beginning in September. So here is my list:

1: Make this publishing/writing happen!
2: Finish the remodel of the office and reduce our clutter by 1/3!!
3: Continue to stay healthy and walk at least 5 days a week (CACruisin and I are doing the DL walk in Sept.)
4: Don't stress about the money, make it happen and keep looking forward.
5: Get DD into the good school which is the important part of life (although it seems that cruisin is)
6: Finish Ph.D. classes before 5/10/08.

What are your goals and how can we keep each other motivated?

WOW!!!

You plan to do a lot more than I do between now and next May. Maybe this will challenge me to do more?

School starts Monday, short summer for the kids. Hope all is well with everybody!

 

[gydell]

Cat 10 available if anyone needs it!

 

[milestogo]

Gydell, how's the weather back there? Our news has been talking about it a lot. I can't believe the kids are in school in the summer heat.

Hotter than H.... It's too hot to go to the pool much, the water is even hot! When I do go a few days a week I stay in the water the entire time. Yes school starts way too early and because of the heat the kids are not allowed to go out for recess.What happened to the Labor Day-Memorial Day school we had?


I am trying to add my DH to this cruise but can't get throught on the DU website to transfer ressies - what a pain. Maybe I will leave him home again!


Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[gydell]

Has anybody decided where they are staying the night before the cruise?
