Bobby,
I too want to express a huge thanks for taking the time (and money!) to update us from the ship. My brother, sister-in-law, nephew and niece were also on board the Magic (with a large group of their friends), and my 73-year old dad sent out a very worried message to the rest of the family Thursday wondering where the boat was, what was happening, etc. Finding your messages was a huge source of comfort to our family to know you all were safe and sound. The official Disney site provided very little info on what was happening, so you and others who posted from the ship were the most reliable source of info. I can't thank you enough! Hope you and your family had a safe return home.
P.S. My brother and family got off in Galveston and flew home from there, as the kids started school today.
