July 14 - 17, 2005 Wonder

Don't feel sorry for venting. Waiting for the DOC's can make our anxiety level rise. Our passports just came 2 days ago. I know that you technically don't need them yet, but I wanted to have them. Especially since the kids and I are traveling without my husband. I was beigning to wonder since our birth certificates were with the passports. It took a litttle over 6 weeks to get them.
I hope that you get them. Did you get a tracking number so you can look to see where they might be. Good Luck and here is some more Pixie Dust.

Hey ya'll, I haven't checked in here in a while and boy are we closing in on our big day! I haven't gotten any docs. yet either but my TA is on vac. this week so maybe they're sitting on her desk

Thanks for the Pixie Dust. The TA sent the doc's express mail and they arrived today. My DW said I was making a big deal over nothing and when I came home from work she said "Here, these are for you"

Now I know tomorrow (Friday) will be a great day. It is the last day working prior to vacation and since I have been at the company (REI Co-op) 20 years, I get an additional 5 week sabbatical, so I don't go back until the middle of August.

See you all in 14 days.

Just wanted to bump this up again. NEXT WEEK we will all be there. Can't wait.

Hey all, did we ever decide on a time and place to meet on Thursday?? I could find it when I skimmed through these. Any ideas?

Since we made our Palo and excursion reservations online we decided to still take the bus from the AKL. I believe that gets us to the port around 1:00 or so. Do we want to meet before the LifeBoat Drill or after?

 

[alanapapa]

Okay everybody, how about meeting just outside Scoops at 3:00 pm on Thursday. We can meet and say hello before the Life Boat drill and decide when to meet after/during the Sail Away party.

Oh did you get our pic that I sent ya?

Let's hope not, we fly out at 7:40 am and arrive 5 something in the afternoon. We will probably get some rain and wind though.

Oh did you get our pic that I sent ya?

No I have not. It might not have cleared the junk mail screening. Send me a PM with your e-mail address and I will add it to my address book.

See you Thursday.

We are on our way, well almost. We are in the finishing touches of packing (okay so it is 11:00 pm our time) and a friend is picking us up at 5:00 in the morning to fly to Orlando. See you at the parks or onboard the Wonder.

 

[alanapapa]

Sorry we missed the Dismeet. We did not board until after 3:00, we barely made it to Beach Blanket Buffet, thankfully they did not close on time. We got throught the line at 20 minutes to 4:00.

We missed it also, lost track of time after we got on board .

We saw y'all on the top deck during the fireworks show, but I didn't realize it till later it was you. I even asked if you were using all your chairs and it was too dark to see your face. So I didn't reconize you (from your sig picture) then.

Great trip even with all the small problems we ran into. We rented scooters on Nassau and went to do a u-turn. My wife's scooter couldn't make the turn and she crashed on the curb hurting her foot. Luckly it was only bruised and cut. And if anyone finds a man's wedding band in the water at Castaway Cay, that would be mine. We were out on some floats when I went to pull myself up on the float and the handle I was grabing for caught my ring slipping it off my finger. Water was ~7-8 foot deep there and too cloudly to find it even with a mask

Even with all that, we can't wait to do another dis cruise

We had a great time. It went by way to fast. Now back home and to work. We really enjoyed Castaway. The kids also enjoyed the show each night. How about the food? I don't think I want to eat for a long time. It was wonderful. The servers were great especially with the girls.
I hope everyone had a great time, and thanks for all your tips. It was a great help and made things go smoother. Until the next time........
