Hey PIT,
Lovin' your trip report!
Hey Denise! Do I have your consent to post pictures of you and Steve in my report? I have some great one's from the sailaway party of Steve in his grass skirt and some great ones of you as well. Hope you are doing well!

I promise I will get to day 2 asap. We had some things come up at home. Stay tuned......
 
Hi Cyndi!

Feel free to post the photos. In fact, I'm glad you have one of Steve in his grass skirt. I didn't get one of that and really wanted it.

Got the cold that was going around, wonder why? Feeling pretty tacky right now but I'm glad that if I had to get sick, I'm at home to do it.
 
yes, please post the pic of Steve in his grass skirt. I don't have one to post at this time either.

I want to see it.

DENISE - ON THE new grandbaby on the way. I'll have to call you sometimes today - Wanted to give you time to unwind before I called

Now the fun will start and wonderful memories are on the way. I was so happy to see Abby when I got home. She is 3 weeks old now and still so very tiny
 
What a wonderful emotional report! Looking forward to hearing more of your travels! :thumbsup2
 

Alright, I'm back! Monday is kind of a blur to me. I remember the Gary Delena caberet show which was HILARIOUS as always, but very little else. This was the first full sea day and honestly all I remember doing is eating! Tritons for lunch, and for dinner and then just kind of wandering around the ship the rest of the day. I had EVERY intention of making it to the fruit carving demonstration but just didn't :confused3 I do, however, remember eating myself silly most of the day. And after the first night (which we stayed up WAY too late in the Cadillac Lounge shooting the breeze with our new DIS friends over cocktails) I SWORE we would turn in early to get a start on our next day, but we didn't. My dh Kevin drives all night long usually and I drive days so he could stay up talking all night-which I think he attempted on this trip. Our friends we were talking to just dropped off like flies one by one. But we had to prepare for our next day: Romance and Relaxation (along with a little gluttony :teeth: ) on the high seas! :love: :love: :love:

LOVE your report! I'm fascinated you are a trucker. You must meet all kinds in your travels. So what do you transport and where? That is so cool.
Hi! We drive from Newark, NJ to Sacramento, CA and back in a week, roughly 6300 miles. We haul mostly air freight- think anything you would send via fed x. It can be stressful at times (especially in the snow) but I see lots of cool stuff! :moped:

This is the first batch of pictures. Kevin in his grass skirt and then some random photos of DISers at the sailaway party. As you see one member of the cruise staff had on a grass skirt :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: We lanyard/grass skirt/bubba mug people are infectious, I tell ya...Enjoy! Day 3 coming up. And if anyone can tell me why I try to post a pic and a red X comes up I would appreciate it :teeth:

Check out the Grass Skirt Fraternity Album! Double click above the picture on public albums and profile and it will take you to the album in DIS green :thumbsup2
 
Tuesday, Sept. 19, our 2nd day at sea was a WHIRLWIND of events. We had to roll out of bed VERY early (in my book anyway) for the largest ever Jammie Breakfast. Now this was a DIS arranged event (thank you MICKEYandJOSHNUT-Elaine) and it was a BLAST! It started at 8am and went to around 9:30. Tritons is a beautiful and elegant restuarant and to see it taken over by pajama wearing DIS folks was really something! Kevin had some very nice POTC jammie bottoms and a shirt to match and I had Tink jammies (of couse). A certain DISer came in a nightgown, a MALE DISer. Funny! :lmao: This breakfast was GREAT because it offered an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other over a meal. At the sailaway party we were all kind of introducing ourselves as we bumped into each other, but at breakfast you could really talk with people! I would highly recommend arranging this type of event if you are planning a DIS meet. After breakfast a group photo was taken in the atrium. I didn't buy it, so if anyone else reading this did feel free to post it.
I went to the presentation in the theater by Tom McAlphin, the President of the cruise line. It was very infomative and Mr. McAlphin was very personable. I was impressed! He mentioned the DISboards SEVERAL times during his presentation. He said that they do look here for feedback! :woohoo: At the end of his talk he had a Q and A. Someone asked the age old question, is there another ship in the works. His answer, "Yes" "The Disney Rumor" :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: There ya go folks, straight from the horses mouth.
It was time for lunch. :rotfl: :rotfl: I swear it seems that all we did was eat! Sometime early in the afternoon Kevin went to the movies and I went straight to Deck 4 to those SUPER comfy chairs. Yep, I fell asleep. :cloud9: I soon realized that it was time to prepare for the Golden Mickeys and the first formal night. We never miss a show. Kevin is one of those people who gets to the Walt Disney theater before the doors open to ensure we get seats right down front about 3 rows back. This is dual purpose because it allows me to get ready in peace :teeth: The Golden Mickeys is GREAT! I get chills down my spine when I see Roy on that screen. I love seeing the characters at the end and I love the music during the show. Its a MUST SEE in my book, no matter how many times we've seen it.
After the show we went to Cadillac Lounge where we had our nightly drink before dinner and we wandered around taking pictures and showing off our fancy clothes. As truck drivers we don't really dress in formal wear often, so we enjoy the opportunity. Dinner was amazing and I'm sure I had 2 desserts. I wish I had written down what I had eaten every night but I didn't. I will say that the beef wellington (whatever night we had it) was amazing. I could've eaten another but I didn't want to look like a hog :rolleyes1
Ok, I think I goofed up my own trip report. Caberet show was Gary Delena on the 2nd sea day, the first was Rich Pupura. Both were hilarious, whatever day they were. We stayed up late in the clubs (dh with his mudslides and BBC's and me with my wine) and when we finally turned in, I could tell that we had a little too much to drink. I can always tell that when my dh is walking down the hall to our room and he is struggling to hold back giggles :goodvibes He was truly relaxed, and we were having the time of our lives. :woohoo:
