LAST CALL for the 10/18/03 Eastern Magic Cruise!

[nicurnc]

Can you believe it?! In the middle of a frickin hurricane, the doorbell rings and there's the Fedex man with our docs!LOL!
Now, I'm as ready as the next guy to get them, and they are important, but another day wouldn't have hurt.

But, we did the doc dance after awhile. Big ray of sunshine on a cloudy day

The storm has passed, literally. Fayetteville was spared. It's actually gorgeous out this morning.

Great news on both counts Loretta!! Now that the huricane has passed you can focus on what's really important - getting ready to cruise (LOL)! Seriously, I'm glad your safe and sound.

Beano - That must be some video. I've got a bunch of tape to edit myself and am looking for a good program to use. What software do you use to edit? Do you burn DVDs or go back to tape?

 

[tarzanman]

Beano,

What could you possibly be editing from last year's cruise? You did such a great job on the edit that you made. Was it not good enough for you? You are so awesome. Your new software does some pretty crazy stuff. I love it!!!

 

[kamgen]

Loretta,
I am so happy you are okay!!!!!

3 weeks from today we leave.....no docs though

Greetings from Northern VA

The worst is over...flooding, downed trees, and no power are our problems now. I actually drove into work this morning...quite an obstacle course, but at least we have power so I can check out our thread.

The best thing however, is that our docs arrived the day before Isabel!!!

Yippee!!!

 

[BeanoC]

So, I guess FedEx can deliver docs to VA and NC during a hurricane, but here in CA where it's 95 degrees and sunny, we don't git none! Better be here soon!


Spud - I edit with "Final Cut", and burn everything to DVD. Sometimes I send a copy to tape also, just for archival purposes.

Right now I am trying to decide whether to shoot this year's video in full screen or anamorphic 16:9. I dunno...

Tim, I am doing a 'family' edit, since all I did previously was the DIS video and the "Gennaro edit"...I thought we should have one of our family experiences too! Nothing like waiting 11 months to do it huh?

This year's videos will be better. Much better equipment and software this time. Can't wait!!

[mickey35]

hello, There are 14 of us going on the 10-18-03 cruise.( 9 adults and 5 kids). I just joined disboards today. This will be our first ever cruise. my crew is, me, la, kj12, kd11. Do you have any advice? I think it would be great to meet on board.

 

[nicurnc]

Hey mickey35!
Glad you found our thread...got your email, a litlle confused by your letters. Are they your families initials?
To read the threads more easily, look at the abbreviations list. This will help you decipher some of what is being said

ie., DD = Disney, darling daughter

www.castawayclub.com is a site where you can find lots of info on DCL, as well as www.dcltribute.com.

Looking forward to meeting your family on board!

Beano - Are you one of THOSE Mac people? It's a lot harder to find good video editing software for Windows.

Hi Mickey! Welcome aboard. You'll find all kinds of information here. How old are the kids? We're bringing DD12 and DS9.

 

[BeanoC]

Spud - Yes, I am one of them MAC guys - for that very reason!

A computer is only as good as the applications it runs. I LOVE my Macs for video editing, and other digital applications. They work wonderfully with my digital still cameras, as well as the various video cameras I use. In fact, after this vacation, I'll be able to post my digital pictures to my mac website within a day or 2 of returning home. Gotta love it!

I use Windows PC's at work, running XP Pro. It's a much better business machine than Mac, so I use one format at work, the other at home!

Still waiting for that mule to cross the Cascades with my Docs!

Going away this weekend to take the boy off to college in Eastern Oregon.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Paul

 

[BeanoC]

Paul, when that jack-a.. I mean, mule, does arrive, point him south to California with our docs!!

4 weeks from today, we sail. 3 weeks from today, we will be at the Radisson. And 2 weeks from today, I will be screaming "Where's my docs!!"



'Beano'

 

[nicurnc]

Boy, this doc thing is really getting to ya, Beano! I think you need a vacation or something

Hi guys!

I am on the 10/11/03 cruise and made a mistake with a hotel reservation for our trip home. I have 2 rooms at the Hyatt Airport (inside the airport) for Friday October 17th. I bid through hotwire and only paid $70 per room. Can any of you guys use them? I will just change the name on the reservation with Hotwire (I hope I can-I have in the past!)

I hope I don't get in trouble for this! It is not my intent!

 

[tchrmom]

Tried posting this a minute ago, and it put it on page 41!

So....here I go again.

We went to the Magic Kingdom today for a quick Disney fix, to hold us until the cruise. They let passholders see Mickey's Philharmagic. It was AWESOME!

Now I'm ready to cruise. I get to call and request my sub tomorrow for 10/20- 10/24! YIPEE!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

 

[Snorgg]

Well, thats if you include the other two E.M.T's !
Hello everyone else !!

Tchrmom -- I am so jealous that you got to see Mickey's Philharmagic. I bet it was awesome. I know my DD would have loved it and so would have I!

We did the quick Disney fix last week, when we headed to Disneyland but I think we need to go back one more time before we leave. You can't ever go too much, can you?

Looking forward to cruisin!


Is it me or have the days been going by real s-l-o-w lately?


Paul, Beano, and Kamy -- this is your week. Those docs are coming. I can feel it.

Hello Snorgg! I think we're all very excited around here!

 

[kamgen]

Thanks Lindsay...I really hope to get our docs!!

I need to get to work on the packing list and the last minute shopping things I need....cannot wait!

 

[nicurnc]

Happy Monday!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Those of you who got a quick Disney fix in...I know you did!

dan and scott - Wow! that's a deal! Sorry I can't take advantage. Someone posted a thread needing a hotel and wanted a great rate...however I don't think the date was mentioned

Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you waiting for docs!

snorgg - welcome tho the DIS, glad you guys found our happy little band of travelers
I'm not EMS, but travel with 'em occasionally...I'm on the transport team for our NICU. They have started making us sit up front with the driver on the way to hospitals, at night with the lights and sirens, some one said it was like an E ride at Disney (they were right!LOL!)

To me the days are going fast, only nine shifts left before we leave! Too much to do! So little time!
