Hey Monica.....how far are you from Vegas. I realize that Texas is like a massive state, so I was curious.........

Have Southwest will travel!!!

r u quick enough?

 

[mickeymo]

Is that what you call what we're doing? Playing? Ugh, thank god it's not on.

And I was just about to say - it should be an easy win for the Bengals - if the Bengals are doing worse than the Texans...

Yeah, the Texans are easily playing better, throughout the year, but we've move the ball nicely on this drive. Super Mario's going to end the day with easily two or three sacks.

John - you could be a captain......

Great Job! I didn't even notice we were close - (reading your blog distracted me...) it wasn't until I had to re-read to figure out what the heck "You could be captain" had to do with the football game, that I realized I missed it...

Jenny, did you WIN!!!!

I DON'T gamble........Mark SHOULDN'T!!!

I did play a couple of hands of blackjack just because he wanted me to. I did get one "BLACKJACK"!

I prefer the pool, sun, & spa!

Hello Everyone!! Kanga1 (Jana) here. a.k.a. "Captain Jingles" Been "absent" for way too long from this board. Spent the summer focusing on our trip to WDW in late July, then school started (teacher) and I've been having a heck of a time getting into the swing of things. ANYWAY...I've vowed to keep up with this thread, lest you all plan a "mutiny" while on board and you won't know me. Don't want to get tossed overboard!!

Nancy- We've had some additions to our group! My MIL and BIL will be joining us! Their first ever cruise and I know they'll have a great time! My MIL is 82 but looks and acts SO much younger. Also, could you change my DD's age to (8)? That's how old she'll be during the cruise. I hope she can find some friends to play with. She's an only child but is SO social!

Welcome back, remind me what you teach again? There is a good size group of parents on this trip..........we should have a mini-meet for them at our meet!

returned at 1:30 this morning from Las Vegas! This was probably my favorite trip. In trying to figure out why, I think it boils down to our accomodations. This trip we switched from Monte Carlo (stayed there three times) to Planet Hollywood (old Aladin resort). The proximity is a little better and has many more food choices. I love the Miracle Mile Mall that is connected to it too!

Saw Donnie & Marie on THursday night. The show was FANTASTIC!! They are at the Flamingo which was a really cool "old style Vegas" theater. THey did some of their old stuff together then each performed by themselves before returning to finish together. THey closed with their closing theme song from their 80s variety show. Nice blast to the past. I had one of those "insert foot" moments where the theater got quiet. Donny heard me and got cracked up saying, "Lady, you have impecable timing"!! Poor Mark was embarrassed and almost under the table.

Of course, Manilow was AWESOME as usual! His show is totally different from the last time although his shows are always dfferent no matter how often you see him! He has a new 80s tribute CD coming out this year and he sang some stuff from it including "Memory" from Cats! Some guy behind us got annoyed because we were standing and "rockin". He wanted us to just sit and watch.....everyone in front of us was standing too and I didn't come to a concert/show to be passive! Some people just don't know how to have fun! They ended up leaving! PLEASE!!!!! I'll have to post a full report on my blog for you all later including some "interesting" pictures"!

Sounds like you had a crazy blast.......woohoo..........

My dearest John, as in Fatphil32, I believe Monica is referring to her DH, JOHN!!!! DUH! Blonde moment, right???

Monica, Mark admits that D&M was much better than he thought it would be. He doesnt remember their variety show, since he's younger than me!

We both like Barry Manilow....he does a fantastic show. So, tell your John to TAKE YOU!!!

We tried to change our flight to come home today. We met a couple who had two extra tickets to see Jimmy Buffet last night!!! The price to change the flightwas the same as our R/T flight and three nights hotel!!!!

Our blog is updated (link below) just remember I do all the photography and the blog, so I don't get implicated! BTW son, I have a different password, so don't even think about it!!!!

Ok, I'm getting really jealous about the Donny & Marie concert........

Thank you!!!!!


Wendy, have you given thought to joining us on the July 18, 2010 Baltic????? So many from the Med cruise will be on that one.

We have actually thought about it but my DH isn't sure he wants to go. I have to start working on him.

My mom is coming on the cruise and she'll be almost 80. She is a young 80,too. I'm sure they could be great company for each other.

Oh Wendy, you have to talk him in to it. The ports look absolutely gorgeous and you folks deserve to enjoy it together.
