Hi Everybody!! We didn't find any of you on Deck 10 during the sailaway party--I sent my kids around looking for the green tags while I "held our spot" by the railing--but they came back with no news of green tags. 
We all head a great time. Our 15-year old son spent lots of time in Aloft and playing basketball or soccer on the sports deck, so we went hours at at time without seeing him. Daughter (12) did not participate in the kids club but instead hung around with her parents most of the time.
Unfortunately I fell ill on Wednesday afternoon with fever, chills, etc. Didn't go to dinner that night (missed Parrot Cay) or breakfast on Thursday morning. My family had to do the packing--I was so weak I had to use a wheel chair all through the disembarking process and through two airports. The good part was I slept on the flight home and then in the van all the way to our home 3 hours from the airport. I am still fighting a fever and headache.
We spent wayyyy too much money at Shutters--my husband and I are both suckers for photographs and we have family photos taken two evenings, plus individuals of the kids. I think I have 25 8x10 photos--yikes!! Then of course had to get a big photo album to put them all in.
We went to the DVC presentation on Wednesday at noon (I was still feeling good) and ended up joining. Hopefully we can make it work. It sounds like a wonderful thing and my husband talked with several people who all said it was great and they wished they had joined up sooner. We bought the minimum points possible (160) but should still be able to vacation every year if we can get away and if not, the points will carry over to the next year. There were all kind of incentives to join on the ship--we got a free 3-night cruise to use by the end of 2010 and lots of other perks. I wasn't expecting to join but just went to the meeting for the information. So we will be "doing Disney" for the rest of our lives, hopefully, and then will be able to pass it on to our children to enjoy when we are gone.
I am waiting for my husband to get home with our photographs--I still use a camera & film so he had them developed today and I can't wait to see them (7 films!). We had an underwater camera and took some fishie pictures while snorkeling--but this year none of us swam out far enough to get a mickey photo.
DH and DD did end up going parasailing at CC and had a great time, though said they would like to have been up in the air a little longer (it was only a few minutes--which was probably OK with DH but DD wanted more!)
I have also been waiting for the world to stop rocking--mostly from the boat movement but partly from being ill!!
Take care, everyone!

. I just kept thinking wheres the warm weather, we suppose to be in the Bahamas. I know most of you all are from the north and enjoyed the warm weather but this southern won't be cruising in March again.LOL
. Bought some great pictures of the kids with the dolphin. 
. Thank god they have no teeth. 
You know those pesky germs, they're everywhere--even Disney!
I'm just ready to get back on board now!! 
It is definately a great deal - we are looking into October (I think Halloween 
might be fun!) - but we usually don't take 'large' vacations twice in a year, so we are still planning.
