Try putting it next to my Navigator!

Or my Surburban!!

Once again Holly is MIA.....hopefully she will have some time to check in here while at work next week. I really miss her frequency of being on here with us.

I noticed she was MIA too.

Sandra, there will be special merchandise avilable for sale, on the ship. There also MAY be a present from DCL (the 2005 people got a book on the Canal, Med people got leather passport cases--I think). I'll bet what they have available will be better than the generic stateroom gifts you can order now on line.

Well....chatted on the phone with Cheri...so no nap , but we did work out our strategy for getting ourselves to and from Prescot/Phoenix at each end of the trip. Now I have to call and find out what time breakfast buffet is served at Storytellers on Sunday the 25th.

.

A book on the Canal will be neat. I thought we got the gift on the Med cruise as a Castaway Member, no? I really wanted to order something to be a surprise in the cabin when we arrived. Oh well, will just leave it for now.

26 days until we start our vacation. How cool, is that?

I looked a little while ago and the CAT 4 was still there....I just find that so strange.....

My TA, Kevin, called 2 times this week and I called once. The ship is overbooked still. I was on the phone with the cs rep, who was very nice, trying to straighten something out and she told me all about it... Don't know why that 4 keeps showing up, you can't book it anyway.

I fully understand about the needles! I start crying in the shower before I go to the Dr, all the way there and continue through the entire appointment. When it comes time to take blood, 1 nurse holds 1 arm, another nurse holds the other arm and 1 nurse holds my legs because I am shaking so much that my whole body is moving. One time some OLD man in the waiting room got up and came in and started patting my head and telling me it would be ok. They love seeing me come!

You make me feel brave. I closed my eyes and turned my head and pretended to be cruising on deck 9 from aft to forward past all the pools heading to the adult pool. I saw Mickey and he held my hand. I heard the music and danced along the way........NONE OF IT WORKED TODAY. IT HURT! I did cry. It's good to know that YOU UNDERSTAND!

I'm packed except now I am rethinking my packing since there is no room to buy anything and bring home. maybe just take a duffle bag with our phones and ipods in it. Then we'll have a little room!

I either pack an empty bag that can be folded into the suitcase on the way there OR I buy a new bag and fill it to go home. Don't repack, just bring an extra bag for homecoming. DONE!

You are going to take lots of pics for us to drool over right? I hope so!

Why can't you book it? Someone just booked about a month ago. If they are still oversold why would they let people book?

I have everything in 1 bag so we can take an empty one but I think just a small duffle bag for each of us.

Can't even remember my first concert it is so long ago. Anyway my guess is that you wouldn't know who it was anyway!

I am so glad to read others have no idea what their first concert was....I have no idea.

I remember when I was dating DH (he LOVES music) he took me to a concert Hotie and the Blowfish.....I fell SOUND asleep. He should have figured out not to marry me that night if he had been smart...

 

[Jhalkias]

After the 70's I started seeing JAZZ shows - saw George Benson and Al Jarreau a million times then toured with Carl Anderson on a bus and loved all the folks I got to meet. That reminds me there is a jazz club at Pleasure Island.

Anyone remember the "Kool Jazz Festivals"???

I got to see Miles Davis at the Kool Jazz Festival at Blossom Music Center.

Wouldn't it be cool if they had a Jazz night in one of the clubs on our cruise!

There is the Castawy gift ALSO...currently a bag (new design from last December) with stuff in it.

Ken, you're such an old fashioned guy. I remember that my father drank both scotch and rye. When I mention rye, most people have never heard of it.



.

OK, I've got music on the mind . . .

"Good old boys drinking whiskey and rye, singing this will be the day that I die . . ."

That is one of the first songs I memorized by heart - I used a reel to reel recorder to tape it from the radio. Don McClain, a classic.

I have no clue what my first concert was either. I remember some of the concerts that I have seen over the years, Fleetwood Mac, Charlie Daniels, Beach Boys......but I have NO CLUE as to what my first concert was.

Lisa, how is Frank today?

EWWWWW I saw Miles Davis too......Loved him.....Oh and Diana Ross. Both great concerts. I can't remember who else, but I know there were lots more.

 

[Jhalkias]

My first concert was the Beatles in San Diego in (I think) 1964.

How envious I am . . . I grew up loving the Beatles, but by the time I was old enough, they were no longer a group. I still remember watching Monday Night Football the night John Lennon was shot with Howard Kossel broadcasting . . . for me, that was "The Night the Music Died".

I fell asleep during Van Halen at the US festival. It was a very long day.

 

[Jhalkias]

Manuel is a good name and easy to remember for me, my BFF brother and dad are named the same. Prayers for Manuel & you today too Keep us posted as you can.

Thanks Nan.

Going to the Hospital early tomorrow morning. His surgery is at 8:00. I don't know if there is internet at the hospital (I would rather have that than TV if I was in there). I may take my laptop.

 

[gydell]

No one has mentioned seeing Celine Dion in concert. We saw her at the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

I LOVE that song......I remember going to visit a friend in Washington DC in my single days and doing the local bar scene and that song came on and there was not one person in that bar that was not singing and everyone knew every word. That's my favorite bar sing along song.
