July5,2003 Magic...who's going?

[wendym]

Jeanne
Thank you for your kind message. It will be very strange not looking up this thread a couple of times a day but I have promised Mum that I am doing nothing work related or computer related once we are off - she thinks I need a break! Tonight is a retirement party for a member of staff who has been at the school for 50 years as a pupil and teacher, tomorrow prizegiving and then freedom!
I am looking forward to serious partying - Mum was just saying how much she was looking forward to the cruise and meeting you all. Thankfully the flight tickets finally arrived this morning so she is a bit calmer.
Thank you all and looking forward to meeting you either in line or on deck 10.
Wendym

I hope goes well and safe!! I look forward to meeting you on deck 10!!

Enjoy WDW!

We leave a week from today....sooo much to do before then, I did get the over the door shoe rack at KMart for $8.99 and it's even a Martha Stewart one!!
Do you think Martha actually uses some of the things her name is on???? I just can't picture her scrubbing toilets or showers....she has a house here in East Hampton and we've had some "Martha spottings" walking her dogs...she has gardeners doing her gardening so who's she trying to fool???

To GOMETROS:

someone's been spying

I've been following this thread (of course!) but I haven't "checked in" because we're travelling with some folks and I probably wouldn't have time to join in any DIS'r games (sorry, sounds like the rudolph song - got Xmas on my mind right now ). Anyway, I'm going to try to take a peek at your sail-away party if I can get away from the group. Tried to locate the Lime green Mickey paint sample, but my local Home Depot hasn't been able to keep those in stock for some reason . Don't think it's a popular kid's room color either...
Happy travelling - we leave on the 28th. Party time...

Shame on you for being such a voyeur!! (Are you with joanb's group from San Diego?) Do try to stop by on deck 10 if you possibly can. This way all the DISers will recognize one another if we end up doing activities together later on.

I'm curious about your icon......is it an alien coming out of a toilet bowl? Please explain!

 

[trishy]

It's a lava lamp! Too funny, a toilet bowl!

Not a voyeur, prefer the term "lurker" - with a San Diego crowd, but not the same ones. Mine looks like this

Taking some dear "old" friends on their first ever cruise.

 

[gometros]

Trishy - that is too funny. Nah, I haven't been spying, just drumming up business, I was motivated to beat the Nov. 8th group. (love your icons, btw)

I just saw a thread from the current western and they've changed the rotation again. I have a request for when we book the brunch - if we can make it as late as possible, that would be great. Since we're bound tro have LAPLAPA, that means our character breakfast will be Monday morning at 8:15. So I want to make sure I go to Palos hungry

I also have some good news. I'll be sailing with a clear concious. I've been working on a deal for close to two months now and I just got off of the phone with the recruiter and he says we're 97 percent there. Just some dotting of 'i's and crosssing of 't's, but he's sending me the contract this afternoon. That is a big weight off of my shoulders.

 

[wendym]

Congratulations about the job - that is wonderful news for you!
Just got through prize giving - 2 hours inside on the hottest day of the year. Just an inservice morning tomorrow to go!!!

Wendy... my husband's counting down the time too...he's a teacher too (music) has 6th grade graduation tonight and moving up day tomorrow and then pack up more stuff on Friday and he's done. (then boy do I have a list for him to do before we leave next Wednesday!!!) Safe trip to USA See you soon.

Sandy... congratulations on the job prospect...hope you get what you want and deserve for all your experience.

Does it seem possible that in 10 days we're on the ship????

 

[jeanneg]

Now that you mentioned it, I can see the lava lamp.....but it still looks more like an alien coming out of a toilet bowl to me! I LOVE your traveling companions......put braces on that old lady and she could be my twin!

Sandy: Congratulations on your new job prospect. I bet you'll really be able to enjoy yourself now you know that you'll be coming back to something definite. I applaud you for keeping your spirits up so well throughout the ordeal. Now you'll really have reason to celebate, which reminds me......I picked up the boxed wine today and it's FIVE FREAKIN' LITRES!!!!!! When they post the embarkment photos in Shutters you'll be able to tell who stayed at the Radisson by the glazed over look in their eyes!!!!! (Are you sure you guys don't wanna do Jiko early and come down and join us?)

 

[sbennett]

Is is 5 liters of red wine or white wine?

 

[Dis Mama]

Hey-I've got the big party of 14 from San Diego. Does joanb also have a party from San Diego?

Trishy where are you located in San Diego? Send me a PM if you want.

I'm still here reading all of the posts and you all are hilarious!! Just bought a portable steamer from the Del Mar Fair. Tried it at home to make sure there was no gimmick. It works great!!! Less worries for the packing (wrinkling)!!!!

BTW-my large family party all make fun of me and call me "DisMama", but they love all the info I bring back to them.

Okay, who's bringing the clams?

 

[Dis Mama]

I can't keep up with your wit, Sandy!!!!!

 

[jeanneg]

Clams?.....I prefer lobster myself!

Sorry, DisMama, I got you mixed up with Joanb........you're the one I was thinking of when I wrote that comment to "Toilet Bowl" Trishy. (No, I haven't started drinking the wine, I'm just punchy cuz the cruise is getting so CLOSE!)

Shelley: I chose white (even though I myself prefer red) because I know some people get a headache from red wine. That way, if there's any left, we can get some OJ and make imitation mimosas to drink before we get to the port.

 

[joanb]

Hey--were not from san diego--we are from virginia and jsut our family, me, DH and 4 children. And we hope that we are going as we HAVE NOT received out docs
OuR TA is to call as soon as they come in.

Can't remember who was going to do the spiderman thing to get on the ship but we may be right with them.

 

[sjbakerus]

Just to put my plug in for White. I prefer the Zinfandel or Chardonnay.

I'm doing the Rum punch thing at the pool. Available as long as it lasts. You may want to get there early with the likes of this crowd.

 

[eye R.N.]

You can now relax and enjoy the cruise.

Joan our doc's haven't come either and I am getting nervous. We leave in less than a week!!

The big question in our house is how fast can we get from Fayetteville to the Radisson. The mini van you see burning up the highway will be ours. I want to be there to sign Happy birthday.

Brunch as late as possible suits me. Just remember, I am determined to get those ressies!!!!

 

[MinnieMart]

[sbennett]

We like White Wine too....
