Sorry, I had to go eat "dinner" with my family......I was laughing so hard due to the pirating of the pirate!! How many times is one person on alone and the someone else swoops in and takes the pirate.......

It just keeps life interesting and makes it such fun! It really doesn't feel as good if there is no contest.

Oh, don't be too concerned......I don't really like Bon Jovi that much! ( I never knew who the picture was until I saw the same picture on the TV the other day!)

OK - I hve a Lime Green Baseball cap that I sometimes wear when I can find it. LOL the funny thing is that I bought it about 2 weeks before I ever learned about the DIS. I was in a store - saw it on clearance (and since that is my middle name - bought it) Now when I wear it - the kids just groan and and say - Mommmmmm do you have to wear it?

The answer? YES! How else are my Dis friends supposed to recognize me. So, if I can find it for this trip - I will be wearing it. If not, I will put some kind of green ribbon or strap - perhaps on my camera? I usually carry that with me wherever I go.

OOOOPPPPS - boards going down - later all

This is a good idea, we should probably to get a lime green ribbon or something to tie on our bags...........

As I read the post trip reports, the common theme is not so much the excursions, or the food, or the activities- its the resounding joy that the DIS feel having traveled with their DIS friends, many of whom have never met. Throughout most posts you read over and over how much better the trip was because they had such great people to share the experiences with- how the after dinner times were more fun because there were more people to dance with, talk , to, share stories with etc. You can almost feel how much they miss each other already- I know Ive said this a thousand times, and I know I will say it a thousand times more- I am so happy to have met all of you- and I cant wait to meet all of you !!!

... And most importanly.... I know I will never be without TP because one of my many new friends will have a mini roll in their purse or pocket-- what more could any DISer want !!

Hmmmmm, this brings up a very good point.....if you have a lime green ribbon on your bag, you probably have toilet paper in your bag....therefore, you can be a TP provider while on a excursion..............

Disneylover5/Lisa- you've really started something now!

Pics everywhere for the family album/rogues' gallery!

Hey all - Just dropping by in between errands, a friend told me that Marshall's is having a luggage sale. I just bought 2 26-in suitcases that are 10.5 and 11.35 lbs each. So now I get to put in one of my shoes back.

I paid $70 for one - the samsonite one and $60 for a Delsey which is supposed to be more lightweight. The Delsey's measurements are: 25" x 10" x 18" and has an expandable pocket that makes it 2.5" wider. It actually glides a little smoother than the Samsonite so let's see. They had colors but they ended up being about $10 bucks more for color so for that price - I'll just customize it with my lime green suitcase wrap which helps me pick it out in a jiffy.

I had just bought some samsonite suitcases prior to the airlines instituting these weight restrictions so I had to go and buy 2 more for the others.

If anyone is looking - the prices beat the outlet store prices. Good luck - now on to deciding who gets which one. I put dibs on the Delsey since it rolls just a bit smoother. I'll let the others figure out who gets what.

Oh Yeah - I was in Sam's Club today and they have a Ricardo brand 26-in suitcase or was it 29-in? But it has a nice little digital scale on the upside of the suitcase which tells you how much it weighs. Sounds kinda neat but for $109 dollars - I went with Marshall's instead.

Later - on to my next appt. Be back later.

think I've done it....

Beautiful family! ...........I finally saw it!!!!!!!!!

Arggh yes - I remember reading about it - the notorious Pirate Captain Under Development . Was considered a bit of a lightweight until digital cameras came along and public exposure increased. Infamous for not limiting self to the caribbean - known to sail all the way from Fuji Japan to Kodak Alaska. Tragic ending, though in the picture of health, was finally framed, hung and mounted in a museum.
