Red bull..red bull...red bull!

That cheese wasn't too bad either!

Got to go to the $300 store and get food for the week. Our nanny kept the house really nice, but no food in the pantry!

Remember the room service on the second shots around the ship night??? That was fun.

Picture of that coming soon! Damien(waiter) and Mike(D.J) both came up to me the next night and said that was TOO FUNNY! They had never seen anyone do that before! You and Marr looked so funny carrying in this GIANT stack of metal roomservice plates on a tray that took both of you to carry!

We have no food either and Jon just informed me that he wants to BBQ tonight so I have to go.

Where are the pictures? I haven't seen myself in a few minutes! I can't believe no one has brought room service to the bar

More pictures of YOU later. Time to go to In and Out for some real California food! What was up with that menu??!!! The worst of the trip!!! And people probably have brought roomservice to the bar before, but a tray so full that it took two people to carry???

I'm still trying to convince Jon to go to In-N-Out and then cold stone but he seems to think the vacation is over

Sukie and I are back home. We got into O'Hare at about 8:30 PM.

Unfortunately, 2 of our 4 bags did not arrive. DCL called about one of our bags. They still have it in LA and are sending it to us tomorrow via UPS. The other bag has finally made it's way to O'Hare and hopefully, AA will deliver it to us by tonight.

We had a FANSTATIC time. Thank you to everyone who made it so wonderful and memorable! We had an even better time than we ever imagined. Both the cruise and the DIS friends far exceeded any expectations we ever had.

Sukie weighed himself this morning and let out a scream. I think we're going to have to have the shower curtains let out.

What a bummer to be back on land. We rebooked a "dummy" date when we were on board and understand that a lot of people are shooting for a 7-night in Sept 2009, so I think we will book that one too.

I managed to shoehorn myself into a pair of shorts this morning.

What a shock to be back home!

I have to start downloading the 2000 photos from the memory cards! I'll be putting them up on Smug Mug and will post the link when they're up.

We had fun too. Thank you for organizing Shots Around the Ship. We started late, to the second one, so we just went to Rockin Bar D to meet up with you. Sukie said you never made it because only four people showed up to the first bar. Sorry. We did have fun at that one too so thank you again for organizing it!

Just weighed in ...... up 8 lbs! How bout the rest of you? Not too bad as I thought it would be more like 15!!!!!

Well, I don'thave a scale, but I think I lost a couple pounds because my pajamas I wore last night that used to be tight around my butt aren't tight. Must be from doing all those stairs.

So.....we're home, and I just wanted to take a minute to say how much I loved meeting those of you I had the chance to meet. I'm sad about the people I never had a chance to meet, and also bummed I didn't get to do the adults-only gatherings to be able to spend time with you all. I honestly tried though but was quite limited after the monster got banned from the kids' club. At least he had no troubles staying up late this time so I didn't have to turn in early.

We're both sad to have the cruise end and Tyler tried to recreate a bit of the trip by sleeping with the same stuffed animals he took on the cruise, reading the same bedtime book we were working on onboard, and he kept shaking his bed and telling me "the waves sure are rough tonight". Then he'd knock on the wall and tell me people are being noisy in the hallway.

I had no troubles getting home without my ID (for those of you who didn't hear, I lost my driver's license), my birth certificate was plenty. No delays getting through at all. Just a short 2 minute screening at LAX. Now the pain will come when I have to go to the Secretary of State's office to get a new license this week.

Came home to a flat tire on my car. When Tyler's dad came to pick him up this morning, he brought an air compressor to fill my tire, but the leak was so bad we could hear the air hissing back out, so he put my spare on for me. Very nice of him! Of course, the tire places I called are closed today for Memorial Day, so I'll have to drive on the donut to work tomorrow and will get it fixed tomorrow after work & school. The rim is bent, so I'm hoping they can just bend it back.

Well, back to catching up with life. Have tons of e-mails to go through, have to go buy groceries, and I haven't eaten yet today so I'm headed to
Subway. Oh.....I see lots of pictures posted, but pics don't show up on my crappy monitor at home (can barely even see words it's so faded), so I'll have to wait until I go to work tomorrow to see the pics.

Hi all and welcome back! Looks like you all had a great time. Not sure if you have this from anyone else, but I took the captured images from the PC webcams that someone was nice enough to save and converted them into video.

Well, for those of you have eaten with me I'm famous for ordering 2 appetizers or 2 entrees or 2 desserts, I love, love, love food... but somehow on this trip I didn't gain a pound... didn't lose any either. I've never done that - I'm always up 4 (every time 4)

... good thing since I have to stand in front of people for 2 days talking... thought I'd be pulling out my pregnancy clothes again. Bubba offered to loan me his pants one night since I was so damned full.

 

[gaylean93]

Thank you that is cool. My husband will appreciate it. He was out there taking pictures all day and got a heat rash. His pictures look nice but these are really cool. Thank you.

Holly, I didn't realized that Tyler had been kicked out of kids club. Sorry to hear that. You really get to know how many dance parties and family events there are with a 5ish year old. We did more dance parties this time than we've done before.

And we loved the trivia this time because Zoe could read and guess the answers. Until she figured out that Allison was in front of us... then it was all about Allison.

 

[ShannonRT]

Up 7 pounds for me.

Took me 2 weeks to gain it and probably 2 months to lose it! Oh well, worth every ounce!

Look who was hanging out at the front of the ship at the first locks!

 

[gaylean93]

Kelly did you sleep there all night to get those pics?

And Alison LOVED having her own personal fan club! I'm just bummed that she never did karaoke so you didn't get to hear her sing!

We'll have to plan a DL meet so she and Zoe can hang out a bit. I felt bad that they never got to do any gymnastics on the ship after all. Alison didn't even really get to do her workout that the coaches planned for her. The Stack kids did get to go to the gym a bunch of times, though, so she felt like she didn't get too out of shape. She'll find out tomorrow when she goes back to gym!

Jonathan was up there with Linda (Seaulater) and Julie (Mexican Mouseketeer) at about 5am.

I wondered if she had a chance to do that. Yes, let us know when you'll be going to DL.
