July 9th 2005 - West Coast Cruise.

[mommykeg]

Hi everyone! Hope you all are well. So when are we getting together again? Disneyland is decking out both parks for Halloween this year starting 9/29 so since I am the Halloween fanatic I'm loving it.
Lori

Hi everyone! We'll be going to Disneyland for the weekend of the 29th...doing the party at California Adventure Friday night and Disneyland/Downtown Disney on Saturday and Sunday.

 

[Amous]

If we're planning for Saturday 9/30, count us in!! We'll be there for dinner and the evening hours.

Cheri, you're kidding, more tequila tasting?! There's a hint of 'pirate' in you, girl, and she's tempting me to have way too much fun!! And be silly!!

 

[Sarangel]

Merry Christmas & Happy Boxing Day to all... Mike & I (in a fit of insanity) have decided to come down over the New Year's Weekend. Anyone going to be in town? Want to see how big Lexi's gotten?

Miss you all.

Sara

We will be at the Paradise Pier for Dinner and the New Years party on NYE. I also know that we will be going to Disneyland on Jan 2, since that's not a block out date for us.

So after starting this up again, it looks like we're going to have to cancel... We could go, but our finances will be lots happier if we don't. Can you tell that I just got the bills for Christmas?

 

[swcruiser]

Such a bummer, Sara but I understand. Christmas bills are fun! Since Cameron's school sells the gift cards we can spred Christmas out but Jan..we have Cam's birthday, two car registrations, our Disney passes are up for renewal, Cam's school has registration for next year, and this year we have his 5th grade Sacramento trip so while December is fine, I'm right there with you in Jan! Let us know next time you can come down.

I'm in the "Christmas Bills Blues" camp too. March or April or May would work better - away from Spring Break of course. Anyone else (Amy there has to be some time you aren't chained to the books!)

Sara, post a pix of Lexi! I'd like to see how much she's grown.

Happy New Year to all,
Cheri

 

[Sarangel]

OK, you asked for 'em... But you have to share pics of Cassie & Tim.

She's also starting to sound out her letters, she'll be reading in no time

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

She is getting soooo tall? And who said she could start reading???? We still talk about me holding her as she waved goody to the Magic saying, "Bye-bye boat" in that sweet little girl voice.

(I'll see what I can do about the pix)

Hey, did you hear about the Magic's itinerary for Summer 2008?????

Check out the Cruise Line Threads.... Mr. Tom McAlpin is in Los Angeles talkin' with the Port Authorities again.... wine tasting anyone?

 

[GrumpyMom1]

OMG - I can't believe how tall Lexi is!!!

So when in 2008 is the reunion cruise? I thinking 7/26/08. I would love to do the Panama Canal cruise in May but I don't think I can pull the kids out of school for 2 weeks.

 

[Sarangel]

I could wish they were going someplace *other* than Mexico. I really wasn't impressed with the ports last time - maybe it was because we did them all ourselves and didn't go on the excursions. Tho' Cabo was fun (maybe it was the company).

Mike's 50th Birthday is in 2008 - a reunion cruise would be a cool present.

 

[Amous]

Amy there has to be some time you aren't chained to the books!

Cheri

Books! What books?! Only four more classes! I can finally see that the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train, but Graduation Day for my Bachelor's. The countdown to 5/5/07 has started!

I would love to see ya'll. When, oh please, can we schedule a meet-n-greet?

As far as 2008, I'm soooo scheduling a cruise on the Magic sometime that summer. Matt will be a high school graduate that year and I'm hoping to have my Master's completed by then. I was thinking of spending sometime at DisneyWorld too (depending on where the Magic is cruising and seeing how the finances hold up).

Sara, Mike is turning 50 in 2008?! Seems we have so much celebrate!!

OK gang... the '2008 Reunion Cruise' is officially in the planning stages. Can someone share their secrets in how to contact Inventory Control to start reserving dates?!

We're missing ya'll!

Amy

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

IC stopped taking requests but reservations open up on 1/31. The official announcement of the itineraries will be on 1/17 (how come y'all don't know all of this what the matter with you people? y'll have jobs or something? )

So, we (the Knebel family - that's me/Chris/Timmy/Cassie and our other cruise nutso's) will decide what dates we can go and post here.

I'm thinking ZipLine in PV this time, no Happy Horses and a WHOLE DAY in Cabo jet skiing and whatever other trouble we can find!!!! (the itinerary is reversed so says the rumor mill)

 

[swcruiser]

What no horses this time Cheri? I hadn't heard the rumor about the ports being reversed. I would love more time in Cabo, it was just so nice. Oh and how I love the idea of not having to fly across the county! 2008 sounds so far away but the way this month is flying by....

 

[Amous]

...and whatever other trouble we can find!!!! So, we (the Knebel family - that's me/Chris/Timmy/Cassie and our other cruise nutso's) will decide what dates we can go and post here.

Trouble?! Your family and this group?! No trouble here, matie! HA!!!!!

In 2008, we're looking at late June and all of July. Thanks for the info Cheri. I'll confirm dates beginning this month and keep ya'll posted.

Miss Lexi... what a beautiful young lady you've become! I see you're keeping your parents young!

 

[renknt]

Sara and I have been talking, and if we do get a group for the 2008 itinerary, we should seriously consider linking our dining ressies. While I like meeting new people, it would be nice to be able to compare notes daily about what we're all doing.

It looks like we will be joining the ranks of summer vacationers, since 2008 will be Lexi's first year in real school - she starts kindergarden then.

 

[renknt]

(I'll see what I can do about the pix)

Well....

 

[Soccermom-Cheri]

Just ignore the old broad in red (my sister got married in August) Sorry it's so big - haven't quite worked out the sizing thingy yet.

 

[Dylcal]

Cheri -- what a beautiful family portrait. The kid's have really grown!!

I could be up for 08 if the 07 Med cruise doesn't wipe me out!!! Perhaps I will meet some suave Med rich prince who loves travel!!!!

[Sarangel]

Cheri -

Your kids look wonderful. Tim is so tall and grown up looking (or is he still using Timmy?). You don't look half bad either.

Two days until they release the details. I can hardly wait.
