Yep, still here! Leaving at about 7AM. Didn't get to bed until 1:15AM - DW was up til 2AM, so if she' passed out when you see her, you'll know why...

This is my last post. I am betting no one is out there to read it. It is 10:20 on Saturday. The bags are packed and in the van...so are the kids. They are so excited so they are in the garage, all buckled up ready to go. Just wanted to wish everyone good luck and God speed with their travels. See you in a few hours.

Ok, so I'm on the ship - what's there to do? Oh, I'll just spend all of my time any $$$ on the Internet!

What's that, honey ~ get a life?!?

Anywho, everything is EXCELLENT!!! (They make you say that or you're Goofy the next day )

No, seriously, everythings AWESOME!!! I'm writing everything I can remember down in the journal that DW got me, but its hard since I'm always writing a day after what occurred - oh well.

We'll post a trip report (probably a site) when we get back complete with pictures (I have about 150 already - seriously!)

Take care, everyone!!!

- Jim

P.S. No fair, nervousnelly, posting after me before the trip!!!

Hey guys. Stephanie, Marty and Mollie checking in from Atlanta--only drove about halfway back to KY today. We'll make it home tomorrow p.m. Not in a hurry. We will have trip report up ASAP. FYI: ours won't be as comprehensive as some who pariticipated in all the deck parties, late night gatherings, and shore excursions. But should give good insight to anyone traveling with toddlers or infants. We didn't miss much, but since Mollie was the first kid to flunk out of Flounder's Reef, there were a few things we won't be able to report on. Will do best to get report up early this week.

Hope all made home (or are making it home) safely!

 

[Psiklops]

Ok, we're back!!!

DW and I are MAJOR bumming at this point. DW has decided (not really, but maybe) that she now wants to live full time on the Disney Magic. Of course, I'll be a t home working to pay for her 24/7 lifestyle.

More to follow... Too tirrreeedddd....

faaalllllllllinnnnggggg aslllllleee....

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.................

- Jim & Melanie (I can add that now)

Glad to hear that everyone (well so far) had a great time - your trip made the front page of the local newspaper and the mayor (Jimmy Weekly) was there to greet you guys in - The mayor is the owner of family businesses that have been in KW for over 50 yrs -anyhow glad you are home safe - keep in touch - glad I had the chance to meet up with some of you at the Radisson - you brighten up the place that was for sure.
Take care and keep posting.
Always

Welcome back 5/11 cruisers!
Happylady and I had dinner with WDWGoose last night so we got a live trip report, got to see all the navigators, and those cool tiedye green shirts!

Hi all,
We finally made it back to southern California! Sorry I missed meeting most of you, but had a great time chatting with those I did. It would've helped if I had packed a sheet with times and meeting places written down! And then I think our room stewardess ate/threw away/hid/etc. my sheet w/ all cabin numbers.

DS was sick most of trip and doing much better now... Hardest part of the cruise was watching CNN on Tuesday, discovering they were evacuating our neighborhood for an out of control fire. Spent many an hour on our room phone (BAD, BAD, BAD bill!!!) and trying to get someone flown home early.

Our house survived, but one only 5 houses down on our street was burned. Turns out the 500 acres CNN was reporting was actually 1100 acres. Very scary, still surveying our yard, roof, etc. for damage.

Here's my IMPORTANT part *************
Anyway, did anyone happen to get an extra inaugral sailing pin that they could sell to me? I was finally able to make it to the store on board to discover they had just sold out!! I see Deb W. already has one up on ebay but wanted to see if anyone had kindness in their heart for a fellow inaugral sailor??? Staff told me that most went to the same 50 or so people! If so, PLEASE email me : kendragagen@cox.net . You couldn't imagine how much I'd appreciate it!

Hi Kendra...Sorry I never got to meet you. Glad everything turned out OK back at home. Did you have to fly someone home?
How was the Walt Disney suite?? Fill us in on the details.

Jim...How was your surprise? Tell us all about it?

Stephanie, Marty and Mollie...It was a pleasure meeting you both and your beautiful baby. She's so adorable.

Vicky, Gary, Joe and Joanne...Thank you all for all you did with the shirts and Joe thanks for the name tags, Leis and Boones Farm and of course the pointy cups, it was a blast. It was very hard finding everyone on board so I'm glad we met at the Radisson.

Robin...Thanks so much for the hammock, we were in paradise. It was great talking to you.

Jenn& Peter...Sorry we couldn't rebook on the same date.

CMATT... You were too far out for me to leave my kids at shore and say hello, sorry I missed you.

Kaylie...Amanda was sooo happy to meet you.

Fran & Laura,JenniferSmith23, Brian and Jacquie, Lisa and Jack, Laura and Mark, Scott and Lynn, It was so nice meeting you all.

We're back too. We did Magic Kingdom on Saturday. Probably won't try that again. We were all too tired. DS got too excited/much sun, whatever. Anyway, he woke up Sunday with a stomach bug, so we were pretty worried about the flight home. He managed to do okay once we got to the airport and all the way home, but once he ate at home, it came back up again. So I'm home today with him. He had a field trip to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum today, which he's already seen countless times. I didn't want to stick his teacher with a sick kid 80 miles from home!

Oh, by the way, is the land moving for anyone else? It is for me!

It was great meeting the people we did. I'm sorry for those we didn't get to meet. I did my first chapter of the trip report and might still get the next chapter up today.

Bye all!
