July 12 2009 ON THE WONDER

Mickie,
None of us have been on a Disney Cruise or any cruise for that matter- we're so excited!

Debbie....This will be my third Disney cruise. I am pretty impressed with you. This is my 13th cruise and I still have not figured out how to do the tickerfactory.com. Maybe you could give me some instructions.

Mickie,
Not sure if you were serious or not, but this is how I did it. Go to tickerfactory.com and about 3/4 of the way down choose vacation&travel. Next enter date of sail and your ticker title. Next pick a ruler which is the background. Next pick a ticker slider which is the icon that moves down the ruler as you near your date. The next screen will give you a bbcode in a box. Highlight the ENTIRE code, copy it, then come here and paste it in your signature profile. By the way, thank you all for keeping track and organizing all the FE info!!

What a group we have turned out to be

Mari: I am so glad all went well for Spencer. As a mother I know how much we worry about our kids so I know it is a relief for you. Sorry about putting McKay (glad I have his name now) as 8 instead of 9. I am sure it is a big deal to him. Can't wait for you to find and give us the number for the u tube of the boys. It will be fun to look at it.

Lisa: I am sending "pixie dust"to Katlyn and wishing her luck on her driving test. Taylor was real nervous for hers but she did well, as I am sure Katlyn will. Debbie for sure wants to participate in the FE but I do not know about Jane yet. Lisa, you must STOP shopping........remember the airlines charge extra for additional baggage

Jane: Did you want to participate in the fish exchange? It will allow Lisa to do some more shopping!!!!

Who is flying in and who is driving in? Taylor and I will fly in the night before and stay at the Hyatt at the airport. Anyone else coming in the night before?

Can't wait to meet everyone.

Hi, Sorry i haven't been able to get on. Our internet messed up, but it's back

Uh, what's the fish exchange? lol.

Since i'm going with two teenagers (lol) Is there anyone going by themselves with teenagers as well? Thanks for all the welcomes, can't wait to go! We are also coming down two nights before the cruise. We're staying at the Boardwalk, coming in Friday night and hitting the parks Saturday

I'm glad there's more teens on for the girls too. I don't think they want to hang out in the teen place, Nichole doesn't like it lol.

Gotta go for now, talk to you all later

Really I was very serious. I did get as far as picking everything out but once I did all that I did not know how to get it on my page. I am fairly computer illiterate, Thanks for your help. Hopefully, tomorrow you will see it on my page!!!!

Debbie,

After I wrote the above note to you I went back and did the cut and paste like you said and it worked and lo and behold it put it on my prior note. I was surprised. Anyway thanks for the help. Much apreciated!

Mickie,
I am so glad I could help a veteran cruiser

Jane,
I'm sure others who have actually cruised before can answer better than I, but for the fish exchange you hang a fish extender or something with pockets on the fish outside your stateroom door, and others in the exchange fill your pockets with small gifts and goodies. You bring goodies to put into everyone elses fish extenders.

Got our room assignments today and found out they are right next door to each other

Debbie..........Wow I went on line to look and location of rooms and it looks like you scored. It is great that you were able to get two rooms right next store. Had you just booked a balcony guarantee?

Jane....Now that Debbie gave you such a good explanation of fish exchange, have you decided to join us?

 

[lvrodmic]

Debbie.....Just wanted to let you know what a great teacher you are. I was able to do another ticker on my own without any help. Not bad for someone who has been cruising for 30 years.

 

[lvrodmic]

Debbie,

I thought I was so smart. Not only did I lose my ticker I lost my signature too. I guess I will have to start over. It is just too late at night to do it now. Mr. Sandman is ready to bring me some dreams.

Mickie

Oh, don't feel badly Mickie...I tried the ticker thing too, but it did take out some of my signature as well...

Took the 2 younger boys to the Monument to do some FE shopping....I've finally started a little folder of all the details we need to take care of...rental car...hotel reservations....

I'm hoping that the movie Up will be shown in 3d on the ship..took the youngest and his friend..it was wonderful (but not 3d at our little theater)..can't wait!!!!

Live from tornado alley..guess the weather channel is all excited,. They shot their first tornado 'bout 15 miles from here a couple of days ago. If you have a chance to watch..they keep showing it again and again and again...

Mickie and Mari,
Katlyn hasn't taken her driving test yet she will this Tues you have to make a appt and they only do it on Tuesday's that's the price you pay living in hicksville usa. ha So send plenty of pixie dust cause I hear the people who give the tests are really picky, we don't have drivers ed here, and I must say I avoid parallel parking at all costs. ha So needless to say I probably wasn't the best teacher, we did however come back to Illinois and my old driver ed teacher from high school has taken her out 2 times and has assured me she is ready we shall see.
I have bought so much junk for the fish extenders I think I may have to ship it to the boat. ha I'm however not buying anymore i promise.
Did I tell you we are coming dwn Sat July 11th and staying at the Radison at port canaveral? We stayed there last cruise and really liked it, after the cruise we are going to go to Disney for 2 days and then fly back home. I can't believe the vacation is almost here I'm getting so excited.
Mari,
did i read correctly you have had tornado problems in your area? Does anyone know if Jane is going in on the fish extenders?

Yes, it is tornado season here. In fact we were watching the Weather Channel this morning and they are stlll showing last week's tornado that was about 15 miles from here.

Our drivers ed here consists of a night class at the junior college. When they complete that the kids don't have to do a driving test..which makes absolutely no sense to me. They do go out a bit in a driver's ed car, but that's about it.

Good luck to Katlyn for her test!

Rainy and in the 60's here today

Mari...I was on the weather channel this morning and it looks like you are having some severe weather. They did show the tornado. Hope it was far enough away from you. They did act as though it had just happened. Stay safe.

Lisa....Sending pixie dust to Katlyn for her driver's test. Strange how different states do it. In California Taylor's folks had to pay $750 for driving instruction before Taylor could even take the test. She will not be able to have anyone under 18 in the car until she is 18 (great idea) and cannot drive after 11:00 p.m. unless coming home from work. Lots more rules than when I started driving. (Guess that was a long...........time ago).

Glad we are not on our cruise this week. I see the weather in Florida has been awful. Nothing but rain in the Bahamas too. Guess I will have to start praying to the "Sun Gods".

Have a great week everyone!!!


Mickie

Don't start wishing our rain away yet-- it's much needed! We have been in such a drought over the last year. We got over 20 inches of rain in May though, which has been awesome. I agree though, I'd like to see nothin but sun when we're on the cruise

Debbie.....You are so right. I better not start praying to the Sun Gods yet. We in the state of Nevada have not had any rain for so long we would be glad to have some of the rain they are getting in Florida and some that you got in May. I will wait until a few days before the cruise. That will probably be better!!
