May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 15

[HollyTyler]

I can't believe we're back on land....I want to go back to the Magic!!

Finally made it home at just about 230am this morning....after both my flights were delayed (not too bad) and after having to submit a claim for 1 of my suitcases not coming in (seems like my bag wanted to have a longer vacation in Dallas). It's supposed to be delivered today.....key word there is supposed to be. We'll have to wait and see.

Thank you so much to all of you for making an amazing trip even more memorable. I know I didn't get to meet everyone, or even spend tons of time w/ everyone, but really enjoyed the times spent with those I did meet.

I'm in the process of downloading all the pics I took and will share when I can.

Another delayed bag. I sure hope you get it soon.

I'm still not done going through all of our photos. I will be posting as soon as I've been through them all. I can't believe we took that many pictures!

I will be back at work tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to it, nor am I looking forward to the problems that arose while I was away. I'm however glad that I was not checking emails, and just focused on having a good vacation.

Now I also have to start to think about our wedding on June 19th!

WHAT?!! See what I miss by missing out on the adult events? CONGRATULATIONS! Are you inviting a couple hundred DIS friends? I promise to leave the pint-sized monster at home! Yup, you were close enough to our room to see/hear Damien (aka Tyler).

 

[HollyTyler]

Here's some that you find it soon

Thanks. They're cute photos. I was happy to have proof that he actually rode on the dolphin because I didn't think he'd do it. He freaks out in water if his feet aren't touching the ground, so when they had the kids start going for rides, I never thought he'd do it. Amazing. He did freak out and start to panic, but ended up loving it! I guess he really trusted that dolphin! And I wanted to print out the pics for my mom since she paid for that for him. I'm sure it's somewhere, I just have to look closer. Should do that now instead of reading & posting here.

I also want to thank everybody for all the wonderful gifts! The fish extender goodies were great! But there were tons of extras from many folks. I have no idea from whom (except a couple people who left notes), but you know who you are......so THANK YOU from both of us. The surprises really, really made Tyler's day every day. He even mentioned today that he can't believe all the surprises he had.....we truly loved everything from everybody! I have no idea how we managed to be lucky enough to stumble into such a wonderful group of people.

 

[HollyTyler]

Well, I have 350 photos on my camera, but have been too busy to load them onto my computer. I can't see pics well here at home, so I need to load them, send them to photobucket, then I can see them at work. Sure, I can see them on my camera, but want to be able to see what they look like full-size.

Hi everyone It was so nice to meet you all, I had a wonderful 1st cruise, you all helped to make it the best! I booked another cruise on board (will be sharing the Sept 09 Tortola cruise with lots of you ) and just finished booking the following week too, one week would just be too short .I didn't have a fish extender this cruise, but received lots of "gifts" anyways I tried to thank everyone, but know I missed a few, so THANK YOU !

Sorry some of you have lost bags, hope they all show up soon. My flight was delayed by 2 hrs so it was a long wait at LAX . I had a 2 hr bus shuttle home from the airport at 1:00 AM and was just barely able to make it, only had 10 min to spare, so was home at 3:00 AM, if I had missed it I wouldn't have been home until 5:00. I'm so sad this cruise is over...but my granddaughter is coming over tomorrow night and my son will be home June 18 for two weeks And now I have two more cruises to look forward to!

I gathered up some courage and got on the scale too, yikes 8 lbs for me to lose too. I think I must have lost at least one lb today, lots of running up and down stairs for laundry and I needed to mow the lawn, it was up to my knees! Plus, all I could scrounge up for dinner was a lean cuisine.

Well, a little more reading and I'm off to bed...work in 7 hrs YUCK!

YAY!!!!! After searching for about an hour straight, I found Tyler's dolphin pics! Woohoo! The disk was in its envelope and it had slipped into the pages of one of Tyler's coloring books in our carryon. What a relief!

Kathe,

Sukie told me to tell you he beat you ... he gained 15 pounds!

Me? I haven't even stepped on the scale yet!

We are still minus 2 of our 4 bags. AA did not deliver the one bag to us this evening. I suppose they will tomorrow.

Disney is not sending out our other bag until tomorrow, so I expect we won't get it until Wednesday.

Well, time to head off to bed. I've got to be up at the crack of dawn for work.

What comes to mind is one of my favorite quotes from Dorothy Parker, "What fresh hell is this?"

Oh my gosh, bummer about all the sick people. I hope you all feel better quickly and Molly stays healthy.

V's thread killer pictures!!!!

don't show me that wig again.... I'll come and get you for it

 

[fourmcds]

Great pics everyone! Gaylean your adorable one of the kids reminded me I didn't get any of my kids in a porthole Guess I just have to go back for that one!

Kathy....how great that you have booked a back to back!!!!!

I am still downloading pics, which should take another few hours and then hope to share 1 or 2. So, probably sometime tomorrow.

Nan...welcome home!!!! Sorry to hear you are all sick (well glad to hear molly is healthy!)...hope you get some rest so you can all recover.

Taylor was watching tv today...Samantha Brown did something on the freedom of the seas...and she thought it looked like so much more fun than the Magic...what is wrong with her?! Oh and there is some new on demand disney travel channel....anyone hear of it yet? We don't get on demand stuff so I have no idea. We are still in the dark ages without Tivo!

Off to watch an episode or 2 of LOST on ABC.com.....keep sharing pics everyone!

1 or 2 pics? Are you kidding me? You know we all want to see way more than that, come on girl!

 

[iankh]

Addendum

AA just phoned (at 11:00 PM!) to tell us that the bag will be delivered here in 25 minutes. Why they couldn't deliver it earlier this evening is beyond me.

Now the bad part is that I've taken Nyquil (due the nasty cold I developed 2 days ago) and something to help me sleep, since my internal clock is off.

Poor Sukie has gotten up to sit up and wait for the bag.

I'm going back to bed.

Ok, I'll post 3 or 4 I am still sorting and think I have taken well over 1500 pics!!! YIKES. We needed a 4GB thumb drive to move pics to halfway through the cruise because our hard drive was full!!!!

 

[HollyTyler]

OK, I don't have the pics off my camera yet, but here come the dolphin pics from Cabo. I see blurs on my computer screen, and only the tiny pics on the proof card that came with the disk, so I'm looking forward to seeing these full size at work tomorrow!
