CONGRATULATIONS LAURA WTG - WOW THIS IS A BIG ONE

 

[bellelinus]

Thanks for posting all those lovely pictures, Mary Jo!

 

[AnnaS]

Wow - I am finally all caught up. That was an interesting one.

I felt like I was running to catch something.

Thanks for the well wishes to everyone too.

Will browse here and there this morning before leaving for a "track" picnic.

I see you have all been busy whilst i have been out taking my kids to see Shrek the third.

Wait - is this the one coming in WB? Or EB in August - I'm getting my posts mixed up?

E/BOUND to PC

MJ - are we taking bets in who swoops in and takes it?

Andrew? 2 to 1 odds?

DisneyNutinLondon: 3 to 1

or how about Helen? With her impeccable timing?

P.S. - loved the pictures of the Black Pearl. Sent them to DD in an email. She came home late so didn't get it she will tomorrow. Thanks!

I wasnt around

ok - now this is getting more interesting

Lets put a bet on this - say a mickey bar on the ship? Or a glass of pop/soda/onboard?

My bet is on Andrew, Helen and Isabel in that order - o wait - forgot about Lynn - sorry! Actually I hope you get it!

Teach that Andrew a lesson or two.

?

go

Congrats on the massive 10,000 major and to everyone on this thread for getting us to this historic level!

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

at least this side of the pond got it -


See Andrew - we too can hang! And you all came so close!!!!!



Oh drats - no assist - that's ok - Lynn got it!

You both did very well!

What an HONOR Laura!

.... and the crowd goes wild!

Captain said it all!

HHHHMMMMMMMM......yeah - ok - who cares - its on this side and with an assist from Lynn - thanks Lynn! I'll campaign with you!

Oh Please Admiral Andrew of the Glorious UK - since this momentous moment only happens about every ##### posts - can Lynn have a title too - look how nice her numbers look? #9999?

Drats - now that its over - I'm all about it and probably won't go to sleep.

Yes Lynn will get a place on the list

My complements on a valiant effort!

Congrats.

I had stuff to do, DS son's X-BOX broke down last night so took it for exchange, then we saw Shrek the third and had a Mc'D's out.

Thought four weeks today I will be on my flight to Barcelona.

 

[AnnaS]

I think the Flying Dutchman is the ship at Castaway Cay.

That's it Flying Dutchman! Thanks Julie.

Free At Last !!!!!!!!! I can finally get shopping and thinking about packing. Now Im really scared!!!!


Welcome back Julie!! We missed you. I loved the pics and your daughter is adorable!!!!

Heeelllloooooooo, I'm a teacher............the only part of my job that's tough is that I HAVE TO TRAVEL DURING SCHOOL

I too can only travel during our school holidays- we have become quite good at avoiding long lines and crowds at Disney World during those times!!!

I know I said I'd be away for a bit I've popped in today because I need to chill. I've had another bad day today.. I must say Andrew's toilet paper form made me roar with laughter

Lynn, I was so sorry to hear about your aunt- you are all in my prayers

A little late, but before saying good night - I had a very busy day.

Hi Anna- you know God has a reason for all decisions he makes.. trust in that , although I know how difficult this must be for you

OK ALL - here's a poem I saw and just had to buy from Knott's Berry Farm yesterday.​

A Family Of Friends

You'll find there's a family
of friends living here,
A small group of minds,
and of hearts;
With some of us clever
and some of us not,

At times you can't tell us apart.
There's one who is cranky and
one who is shy,
And one who is really uncouth;
And just when you think
you've discovered who's who,
You'll really uncover the truth.

The truth that we're
all just a little of each,
A group of imperfects are we.
And sometimes I might
criticize them to you,
But, don't ever knock them to me.

'Cause the one thing
that ties us together for life
No matter how far we're apart,
Is love for each other,
a family of friends,
A small group of minds,
and of hearts.

Judith Bond
1987​

Love the poem Laura..

And, so to keep sort of on topic. We've been talking about excursions... but, what about things happening on the ship?

Do you experienced cruisers go to the games shows & play bingo?

Hi Mary JO- I love all the games and activites!!!! I hope my propeller wont get in the way-

Hello Captain... I havent had the pleaseure of meeting you, but I know by your funny posts I would have enjoyed crusin with you.. I hope we get to meet one day!

at least this side of the pond got it -

Yeah Laura!!!!!!!! Great Job!!!!!!

Yeah Laura!!!!!!!! Great Job!!!!!!

Good morning Sallie, glad school has finished for you, my kids have four more weeks! We then fly out, I will be on BA this time in four weeks to Barca

 

[salliep]

Morning/Afternoon Andrew..... your countdown thing is starting to make me nervous!!!!! This is what the dinner table looked like last night with Jimmy, Carley and I discussing what we should take.. Notice only two heads... Jimmy was just watching us with a glazed look

 

[salliep]

Andrew, I was thinking, maybe I should get propeller hats for you and your family also so we wont loose each other while on the excursions .... I will be able to spot all of you in an instant... I wouldnt want you to loose me

Yes planning is kicking in now, I have been in contact with DCL a few times this week, on various things

Andrew, I was thinking, maybe I should get propeller hats for you and your family also so we wont loose each other while on the excursions .... I will be able to spot all of you in an instant... I wouldn't want you to loose me

Sometimes the guides have a large umbrella to follow, I am not sure if the propeller hats will not make us stand out a bit too much for the public.

For thoose in Barcelona here is details of the Hard rock cafe, a home from home for our USA buddies!

You can book up to 30 days in advance, on a PS basis.

http://www.hardrock.com/locations/cafes3/cafes.aspx?LocationID=41&MIBenumID=3&MenuID=15

Its just down from my hotel and whilst I know we should eat Catalan, my kids are Fussy. I have booked for my first Sunday night.

 

[Andrew DEREK UK]

I am going back off line again as DD needs the internet.

 

[MrsG]

OMG, What a NUTTY BUNCH!!! At first I couldn't figure out why so many posts when I first got on this morning. Then I thought "it can't be THE MAJOR PIRATE that's causing all the FLUFF". Then lo and behold, we have a WINNER with a GREAT ASSIST!

Congratulations LAURA!!!!

And what a great assist Lynn - Congrats to you!

You really are a great group!

 

[MrsG]

Laura,

Have you decided on a pirate name yet??????

Maryann

(Oh that's right, she is still sleeping. Wonder why?)

 

[jlawall]

Hey, Captain Provider! Will you be bestowing them upon the fish extenders?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[jlawall]

Well, I hadn't expected to visit here at all for the next few days (no chance at the 10,000) - as I'm up at Evergreen Lodge in Yosemite for a wedding. Haven't been here for a while - I should have known things have changed. In addition to the obligatory old games, jigsaw puzzles and hiking/nature magazines, the recreation room has wireless.

Now, I was a good boy, and left my laptop at home. But darn if they didn't also have three public terminals, so here I am. Of course, you're only supposed to use them for 20 minutes at a stretch, and the connection speed is slow, but I figure it's better to drop in now and then instead of dealing with 200+ pages on Sunday night or Monday

Anyway, good luck to whoever snags 10,000. Condolences to Lynn. And everyone enjoy your weekend.

Trivial pursuit is calling (how non-tech)....

Thx for stopping by....tell us how the trip went when you get back!!

 

[jlawall]

Me too - it always makes me

It's a "Hello," with a British accent!

From East London that would be, ello!
