January 19,2008 / Eastern Magic / "The January Thaw Cruise"

[plenam]

Of course the AFC & NFC Championship games are scheduled on 1/20/08. We will be at sea that day. I already had to promise DH that he could watch the game (either in Diversions or someone said that it may be on the Arielvision screen). We do assume that his beloved Pats will be involved.

When we were on the Magic in Jan. 06, all the NFL championship games were shown on the big screen (Arielvision). Lots of people sitting around the pool watching (also watching from the hot tubs and pool).

Brett you read my mind, I was just about to ask if I could use it as well...I love it!!!!

OMG.....I didn't even THINK about this.

See, in our family, we are a little bit backward. I LOVE Football. I am a Cowboys fan first, a Redskin fan second (Yeah, I know that is strange, but I became a Cowboys fan at an early age to bug my Mom who is a die hard Redskin fan! I still like the Redskins too.) and a Denver fan third (Husband from Colorado).

Cowboys, Redskins, Denver....naw. You won't have anything to worry about come playoff time.

Now those Panthers on the other hand....they are going all the way this year.

Our new son in law is a HUGE Bears fan....their spare room is completely done in DA Bears...His groomscake at the rehearsal was even done in the Bears...Thats DD with a little help from his mom.

And here is DD showing him what she thinks of "Da Bears"....She is a NE fan...

His mother did not find her very amusing in the second shot....I did, I was taking the picture

Bethipooh4 -

I forgot that sarcasm/teasing doesn't always come through with the written word. I am not at all stressed about the bags! I think it will be fun.

Thanks for the great ideas. I'll be sure to steal them all!

All right, guys. Enough about football already!

Oh man...That is mean. Kick a girl while her teams are down. At least the early/mid 1990's was a great time for me.

Ick. I hate the Panthers. Again, because of my Mom. She's been a diehard Redskin fan all her life and when they retired, they moved to Hendersonville, NC and now not only does she cheer for the Panthers, but she watches Nascar. It's like I don't even KNOW the woman anymore!

Brett: DH loves beer....had buckets of beer on the RCL's EOS 2 years ago.

Being from RI...we are Patriot fans, my husband had to watch the superbowl from the airport on our honeymoon back in 1988.....he survived. DH is also a huge Nascar fan is very jealous of all the southerners who get to smell the tires burning on the track as often as you do.

We were in Disney when the Sox won the World Series....the next day Curt S. was the grand marshall in Magic Kingdom....we got great photos.

I already know what I am putting in my RI bag.

We are a family of 3....Cheryl (40), David (43), and Max (6). We love anything Disney, anything to do with travel, and love to have fun!!
We are travelling with a bunch of other families with kids, so there should be a good RI showing.

8 months and 2 days away.

have a great day.

It depends on your definition of the term "Yankee" . We here in Massachusetts consider that to be almost a curse!

Go Red Sox!

It will be me (Julie - 35 next week ), DH James (will turn 42 on the day of our sailing), and DS Jake (will turn 4 the week prior to sailing). I manage an insurance agency and DH works for the phone company. We are Red Sox fans and DH is a die hard Patriots fan (me, not so much. I watch occasionally to humor him).

Of course the AFC & NFC Championship games are scheduled on 1/20/08. We will be at sea that day. I already had to promise DH that he could watch the game (either in Diversions or someone said that it may be on the Arielvision screen). We do assume that his beloved Pats will be involved.

This will be DS first cruise and our first since DS! We have been on about 6 or 7 cruises with NCL, Celebrity & 1 Carnival that we hated. This is our first with DCL.

BTW - I mentioned my dilemma to him about what is Mass known for. His only additional response was bad drivers! Can't pack them either...

Hmmm...boston baked beans?...lol...

Welcome Mousefamily.....

Look at us go, we are 8 months until cruise date. We have decided that we are going to come down on Friday and stay over at one of the hotels near the port....being from RI younever know what the weather will bring, and better to be safe than sorry!!!

Have a great weekend everyone.

[sjcubedofct]

Hey, Brett, will you add our group to the list on the first page?

sjcubedofct: Scott(36), Sherry(40) and Steven (12)

Thanks so much!


Also, we'll be cheering on the Pats, too! My husband Scott grew up on Cape Cod, MA, and I grew up in CT. We'd lived in CT until last July when we moved to Faison, NC. So we're Yankees, enjoying the wonderful southern hospitality and weather here in NC.

And we're excited about the dismeet bags, too. I think it's a really neat idea and we've got plenty of time to figure out what to bring!

Have a great night!

 

[owensamo]

sjcubedofct, I just wanted to say Welcome, especially to another NCer!

I think that makes 3 groups from NC now - anyone else from here we don't know about?

[Bethipooh4]

Hi Amanda,

We're going to be in Cary today!!! The boys are bowling in the NC State tournament today..Then off to shopping!!

Beth

 

[Gixer]

Hi everyone,

just wanted to say that I am so excited! another month gone and now only 8 to go!!!!

Am I the only one wishing the rest of this year would just get a move on and HURRY UP TILL THE JANUARY THAW!?

 

[Bethipooh4]

It seems like the days are slowly dragging by. When we booked last years double dip, it seemed like the time flew by, and we had over 540 days to go when we booked it. Its almost summer break, so I know that goes by in a blink for us.

So who besides me is going to be insane enough to go see POC 3 this weekend when it opens? They are having a special showing Thursday night here at 8. I think I will pass on that one...

 

[shmoogrrrl]

Hi to all the new people! It seems that North Carolina is taking over the ship! My parents currently live in Hendersonville (near Ashville), NC so at least I have a connection there!

We've had a crazy weekend. We left Thursday and drove up to Danbury, CT for a wedding that was held on Saturday. We drove back Saturday night after the wedding (got in at 1:00am!) so that we'd be here on Sunday for a Handbell Concert that we were in (Jeff and I both play). THEN, Jeff left this morning at 4:00am for a business trip in Denver. Jeff considers Colorado home so he was excited to go back there. He's already called me twice this morning to tell me to pack up the important things and start driving west, but he is obviously mostly joking!

I think I need a vacation. Preferrably a cruise vacation.

Me! Although I am not as excited about it as I was. At Disney World, they had a story book for the new movie and me, being the dork that I am, grabbed it and turned to the back to see how it ended. It didn't end the way that I wanted it to, so I am a little bummed. I really think that they should clear these endings by me before they make them. Hopefully it will seem better in the movie than in the book!

JK Rowling should take special note about my request to run all book endings by me. I am worried that the Harry Potter saga won't end the way that I want and I will be devastated!
