Hey! July 30th, 2005 cruise to Mexico DISfriends!

We got in late last night around 12:45, all the flights coming into Newark from orlando were backed up, so our 7:15 flight didn't leave until after 9:30. They kept changing the flight times, playing with our heads. It was rather exhausting.

Anyway, the highlight of our trip (outside of seeing Alex, of course) was seeing JoAnn and Ken and family, Bill and Alice and Kathy and Ted and family. Since JoAnn filled you in on our get togethers, I just have to add this. The best part of the trip was dinner Wednesday night, celebrating Micco and Alice's birthday with a surprise birthday cake, and then heading back to SS at Kathy and Ted's and just hanging out with friends. Since they have the youngest kids, I thought it would be better to go hang out by them so they could put the kids to bed. Our girls all went off to the parks and had a great time together (even Briana went and bonded with the girls). Kathy and Ted were the perfect hosts, with champagne, beer and snacks, and Micco and Ted got to smoke their cigars out on the balcony. We felt so comfortable and so at home with friends that I feel like I have known for years. It is hard to believe we have only known each other for about 8 months.

Jenny - I had my layered margarita in Mexico, very good...but I found one even better...Have you ever had the Fiesta Margarita in MGM???

And yes, we are comitted to July :bounce: :bounce: , and will either be staying at BWV or YBC. We are checking into maybe using our points for that stay. Not sure of the dates yet, but will coordinate to make sure we are down there when everyone will be there. Sorry Mark...

Anyway, need to get back to reality and get ready for work. Have a great day all, it is good to be home!!!

everyone - and this time it is FOR REAL :banana: :cool1:

Hope you get time to read Jenny and my threads....we were really depressed, weren't we? :love:

I'm so happy you guys got together....I feel the same way about all of you - we only know each other for less than a year, but I feel so close to all of you and miss you guys when we are not together....I could feel the 'love' on my
phone call the other night....I'm just so glad it will be ME next time.
I truly hope we can convince Kathy for a few days....this group is SO special....Can't LYNN come just for a weekend? PLEASE :confused3 :worship: :worship: :worship:

Honestly, get the tissues ready, when I see "our Alex" 'at work' - I WILL cry...what a special girl, Micco and Deb. :grouphug:

Bob and I both have a vacation day today - must get ready for Easter...
DEBS - TOMORROW WE PLAY IN NYC - don't know what we are going to do yet - of course, try to get tickets at Tickets/Tickets, and of course eat at Bubba Gumps...it is ALWAYS all about eating for Lucy, isn't it :mickeybar :mickeybar (not like our 'other friend' :drinking1 :drinking1 :drinking1 ). I wanted to give you a 'heads up' about the end of April - we will be in NYC on Sunday, April 30, to see Tarzan. IF there is ANY WAY you could meet us in midtown for lunch, we would love it - of course it would be either Hard Rock or Bubba - Tyler will be with us. Of course I say midtown - Lucy will NOT travel a subway without her NY friends..... :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

JoAnn - I know it will be a short trip....but I am hoping you plan to spend EVERY MINUTE with us.....we have got to plan dinners, ok? (food again!) :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

:bday: :bday: party: :rockband: :love2: :grouphug: to Lynn today!

We are only going from July 28th to 31st, short but sweet trip!
Only is better than none! We will be so glad to see everyone!

Long week......must be because you guys were in WDW and we weren't! However, the weather was nice here which helped!


I am not glad you are home (who would want someone to have to leave WDW!!!!), however I am glad you were safe at home.

Debi ~ Were there storms that were hold you guys in FL? We sure had some whoppers last night!! Maybe is was one of those "there's nothing wrong with the weather here" days.........right Alex, the wind is 200 MPH!!!) :lmao: In the basement at 4 a.m. last night(this morning) :guilty: I hate storms! :scared1:

Mark sent me an article today where Paramount is getting out of the theme park business which means one of the theme parks for sale is King's Island in Cincinnati! It's time for WDW to go MIDWEST!!! :thumbsup2
 
It's time for WDW to go MIDWEST!!!




:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

girl, are you drinking already? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
 

Seriously! I want them to buy K.I. and I can go to Disney EVERY WEEKEND!!! That's not drinking, that's sheer WISHES!OOOOO...THAT WAS GOOD I MIGHT SAY!
 
Jenny - That is what they were telling us is that it was weather related, and then traffic of course got backed up, I am sure from all over.

Lucy - I will check with Micco to see if anything is going on, I know Briana has a competition at Six Flags on the 29th, but the 30th I think is free, but just let me check to make sure. If we are not doing anything, we would love to meet you guys for lunch in the city.

Starting to look into airfare for July, have to call DVC on Monday, to see if we can do it with our points.

Anyway, needed to get us back on page 1, I hate when we are on page 2.

Love to all!
Debi
 
Sure, Lucy, where do you guys want to eat each night???? :)

I would be happy to arrange our dinners!!! Since we are staying in BWI, we will all be very close! How about Cape May Cafe for one of our dinners?? Perhaps, one inside the parks?? Who has a suggestion?? :goodvibes

Very tired today..........Tara and I worked out and went shopping,..........I love days off............school will be back too soon!!! :confused3
 
And we had a great time! Catching up with everyone on Wednesday evening was a highlight for us too! We had so much fun with you guys!

Our flight home was uneventful. We decided to go to AK this morning to ride EE. It was definitely worth it!

When we got home Ted spent HOURS installing our DSL. We switched from cable modem to DSL to save $ but it ended up costing us $99 for a service call to Dell and it's still not perfect. Ted just finished...he's exhausted and he has to get up and go to work in a few hours.

We went to the Clambake at Cape May Cafe for dinner on Thursday. It was great.

JoAnn, when did I say I was mulling July....
 
Only one up is probably Lynn!
It is 5 AM
Bob got us up REALLY early.....he is excited about getting into the City.
I am excited when we got there - not at 5 AM.
We will catch the 6 AM bus.
Head to tickets/tickets.
HOPEFULLY see a show.
Bubba Gump's (food again?).....
show
food
home
We are having some dense fog this morning - may delay the busses.
I'll miss you guys on the board.
Hey KATHY - I believe JoAnn has booked your room. :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:
(joking!)
Jenny...baseball day?
Debs....good luck on Easter sales today.
JoAnn....would you please work out for me too - I do appreciate it!
Lynn....how did you spend your birthday?
I'll have my cell phone on...except during a show....hint, hint, hint!
 
Some of us don't have your cell phone number....

It's raining here. I hope that Owen's 9am T-Ball game gets cancelled.

Happy Birthday Lynn!
 
Listen, in my defense......................SHE was definitely mulling..............I saw those wheels turning..................BTW, it's ME........................ :thumbsup2 ....................HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!!! :banana:
 
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
that's another word for tired and exhausted - New York can do that
to 'ya - especially when Bob makes us get up at 4 AM to catch the 5:30
bus....but it worked, we were successful at getting half-price tickets
for a show - The Producers...it was, ah, OK....Tyler loved it....Bob and
I say, just so-so. We really want to see Mamma Mia or Wicked, but not
available. First, had my coffee at Starbucks, we in the Pa. Dutch Area
are very deprived - we have NO Starbucks to be found......got our tickets,
visited our 'favorite store' - Disney...then on to Bubba Gumps, always have
fun there...a little window shopping, then the show. We wanted to catch another meal in the City, but were actually not hungry (I know, unbelievable... :lmao: ). Walked to the bus station, I misread my watch...
thought the bus was coming in an hour, stood in line, turned out it was not due for another TWO hours, uh-oh...BUT, an earlier bus was still there and we hopped a ride on it and back home by 7:30.
I am beat....

Lynn, we haven't heard from you since you turned a year older.

IF JOANNE says Kathy is MULLING, I believe her...you go girl (Kathy).
JoAnn, the one meal I want to hit is if "Minnie/Mickey" is attending a meal...
we can't miss that....we also LOVE Cape May, and Le Cellier.......
AND we can all sit around the pool with.... :mickeybar and :drinking1

Happy Easter everyone - Kathy I thought of you and Jenny, with young kids, they had the neatest baskets at the Disney store....
 
Hi all! Very QUICK check in here! We are sitting in the Grand Hall of the Hyatt Union Station in St. Louis. We are watching the Reds players walk by. John and I are very excited. M&M could care less. She got her jersey autographed by Austin Kearns, she had his jersey on. It was precious. He couldn't walk away from her without doing. Must have been the lip! :lmao: It's neat on the road because the players are more friendly than at home. They don't feel so threatened. We have had an awesome time. We went to the arch yesterday.

Reds won on Friday and lost yesterday. The new stadium is beautiful. St. Louis is a fun town. Union Station has everything so we don't have to leave if we don't want to. Gotta run and feed the kids!

Happy Belated Birthday Lynn!!! party: :bday:

Happy Easter everyone!!!!!!!!!
 
I am sorry, I didn't know it was your birthday, so hope you had a happy. Micco's was yesterday (and Alice too) Happy birthday alice......since we actually celebrated with Disney friends on Wednesday, he decided to go out to dinner with his friends last night, so I went to the mall to finish my last minute Easter shopping for Briana.

Happy Easter to everyone!!

Kathy - You are mulling July, aren't you...Micco would love to see Ted again...he can have his cigar buddy, I can have my margarita buddy (Jenny)...So the dates we are looking at are July 27th through 31st. We are checking to see if it is worth it to use our points or go with the CM discount. But we will be joining you all at BWV. Looking forward to that, first time staying there. I would love to eat at Cape May Cafe, it looked very nice when we walked past it...Le Cellier was outrageous, Micco loved the beer there, and the steak was to die for. Even if we want to do an inexpensive dinner one night, ESPN is right there also, and the food and drinks are good...and I'm sure there will be some good baseball on, so Jenny will love that! Like I said, we are easy, and will eat anywhere...We are definitely in for the Segway tour, I know you are booked already, I am going to have Alex check to see if she can get a better CM discount...definitely count on Micco and I, maybe Briana and her friend Kourtney (if she comes with us).

I am really looking forward to this trip in July...it will be a lot of fun to see all in Disney...

Anyway, a blessed and Happy Easter to all. Spring is finally here!!!

Debi
 
OMG!..... we are so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WTG, DEb & Micco, we will have such a blast!!! Since we will only be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.....................how about if I look into ressies for those nights...........we could do Cape May Cafe Clambake one night and then Le Cellier another and then maybe ESPN? I will call.............so we have.....4 + 5 + 4 + 2? at this point? Kathhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy????

Tell me what you want me to do about Segway? You have to prepay but I'm sure there is still availability.....Let's all commit to MARGARITA NIGHT!

HB to Lynn, Mom, Mic.................HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!!! :cloud9: pixiedust: party: :jumping1: :cake: :bday: :rainbow:
 
This IS going to be our BEST trip yet to Disney....honestly. :banana: :cool1:
3 months seems like such a long time :sad: :sad:
I can't stand it...JoAnn - those three places sound perfect...although, i'm not sure Tyler will join the adults...he and John might hang out, BUT, those places happen to be his FAVORITE restaurants too, but remember, if Alex is working at a restaurant, we want to do that too. I don't really care about Tyler joining us those nights, we WILL be in Disney 10 days this time - awesome.... :cool1: I guess IF you want to go ahead and make them, make them for ALL, better to cancel than add on.
This is also OUR first time at Boardwalk....just one more off our list to try.
The few we haven't tried are Grand Floridian, Dolphin, Old Key West, AND, Ft. Wilderness camp grounds :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: oh, yea, Lucy camping :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: IN YOUR DREAMS!

:bday: Micco
:cake: Alice

Alice, you owe us a POST, girl. We miss you. :grouphug:
It wouldn't be so bad hearing from Micco too! :confused3

Easter at our house was a little different....Bob got HORRIBLY sick, still is,
stomach virus....started during the night. Couldn't go to dinner with me.
He has finally tried some applesauce...I don't know if it was something he
ate in the City (don't think so, I ate exactly the same thing), but when we drove home from the bus station, he stopped at Mickey D's for Tyler and
himself....could have been that. :sad2:
Hey JoAnn - NOTHING, but NOTHING I ate yesterday was on WW.......
except the water :rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl:
 
I hear ya, Luce!! :rolleyes: Hope Bob recovers soon!
:wizard:
OK, I'll make some tentative ressies when I have time this week! :teeth:
 
We are in for LeCellier definitely! Cape May is fine as well! Mark and John swear by the ESPN chicken wings and will go in a heartbeat! They spend a lot of time there when we are at WDW.

Margarita night....hum, let me think........IF I HAVE TO!!!!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

The game today was good if you like home runs. Reds were up one in the bottom of the ninth and Albert Pujols hit a two run walk off home run to beat us. It was his THIRD of the game!!!! :sad2: We sure make an awesome player look fabulous!!! He is amazing! We saw 6 or 7 home runs today. One bounced two rows in front of us, bounced over my head and the guy about rows behind me caught it! The next player hit one and it hit six rows in front of us!!! :rolleyes:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALICE!!!! party:


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICCO!!!!! party:

Hope all had a happy Easter!

Get well Bob sweetie!!!
 
I hope everyone had a good Easter. Our weekend was quiet. Ted worked but he wasn't too busy. I managed to get us all unpacked and the laundry and grocery shopping done. It's sure nice having a washer and dryer in your room with DVC. We came home with practically no dirty clothes. There was a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt at our club on Friday evening and Owen had a T-Ball game on Saturday and he has another one tonight but we may get rained out this evening. We had friends over for Easter dinner. The kids go back to school tomorrow....our vacation is definitely over.
 
three more weeks of school for the university :cool1: :banana:
Tyler has had one week off AND today - don't know how that boy
is going to get up for school tomorrow, it isn't going to be pretty! :scared1:

Bob doing ok, went to work....very, very bad Easter for him. :charac2:
Now I must disinfect everything tonight! :furious:

Jenny, would you please send me your full address at your school......
i want to send you something I picked up in NYC on Greyline tours. :moped:

Debs, once again, I would like Alex' address, please - sorry I lost it. :confused3....found a small surprise for her AGAIN! :love:

JoAnn - how many girls coming along this summer....can't we convince the 'rents'? :worship:

Deep down inside, I just know Lynn and Kathy are going to surprise us. :cool1: :cool1: :banana: :banana: :cheer2: :bounce:
