I think we could set this up on google maps to allow others to add to it, but you have to be invited, so send me your e-mail and I will "invite" and you can add on to the map, anyone that has the link below can see it, I have made it a private map, so it will not come up in a search.

After you have your invite. Find your approx, no exact locations, on the map, click on the little blue pointer, beside the hand, set you pointer and add your dis name as the title and anything else you want in the discprition.

That sounds great. Nan, what are you thinking would be good for the kids project? Maybe we put our last name? Child's first name? I'd like to do this too. Lisa

15 days since I was on the DIS! So I'm 100 pages behind on Part 5 and the whole of Part 6.

Had a great week's vacation at WL, the highlight being our mini-meet with Monica.

But on our last day I started suffering with some horrible virus which really hit me when we got home on Sunday. I took to my bed Mon and Tue but dragged myself out and back to work Wed, as I had to be away with work Thu and Fri. You know I was ill when I didn't even try to DIS whilst at home those 2 days. I could've done without the days away from home, but I was needed. I was administering exams to 43 new Army doctors whilst feeling poorly, and not one of them noticed! Tripping over a step and falling full length on a concrete floor didn't help much. Although I do now have some wonderful bruises.

Anyway, I'm home. Hopefully kicking the virus. And my next mission, should I wish to accept it, is to catch up with these threads.

Glad you had a lovely trip, but sorry you have been so ill. I was wondering about you and had decided you must have gone for 2 weeks.

OH MY GOSH! I'm glad you had a good vacation, but sorry you wound up sick. At least it started at the end of your vacation and not at the beginning. Get some rest and feel better soon!

gydell - what time is your reservation? do you have a listing of everyone on your reservation for acapulco? I can't recall if I pm'd you.

No you didn't. I said we would be there around 1pm. If we don't make that one we can go to the first one of the evening. When we get there we tell them if we want drinks or a meal.

Hello everyone. Good morning or afternoon or evening, which ever it is to you! My DH has a "party" to go to for a wedding he is going to be in next week so I have decided to do some cruise planning. I was thinking of making my final packing list right now. Anyone have any suggestions that I might not know about.

 

[HollyTyler]

Done with Survivor, now to watch Lost!

 

[gydell]

I have reservations at 1pm in ACA. I'm not sure what we will do...good chance DH will need to fly home, and not sure if I want to be wandering around with the 4 boys. I signed up for the city tour too - it might be easier to go in a bus everywhere....I'm not sure....
Lisa

You can go with us. We are going to the fort and maybe the chapel or the painters house.

 

[pjpoohbear]

Ok, first invites for the map are out, lets see if this can actually work. It does not seem to be updated by google in live time, I will figure that out and post how long before add-ons show up, hmmm....

Opps! To add your pointer, click on edit first, in the left sidebar. Sorry, still learning, lol.

[gydell]

that reminds me I haven't heard back from my thank you email. I guess if it's there it's there, if not, I'll be in the stalking Gydell group.

I have you down for the cliff divers.

How many people are going with us?

you are truely a techno wonder...

 

[tigger137]

Thank you. Glad you got on your soap box last night. We need to hear this often. And thank you for serving. DrHug will enjoy swapping stories with you. He was enlisted, does he still need to salute you?

Look forward to catching up on that conversation when I get chance.

Can my DH join in the swapping of stories? He served 23 years in the RAF. (I only served a couple of years - "5 minutes" according to DH - I left when we got married, so don't have the same range of stories to swap!)

Do you have the saying, "Pull up a sandbag"? That's what we say when it's going to be a story swapping session.

 

[gydell]

How many people are going with us?

I have 35 down to go.

 

[calmom]

I have 35 down to go.

Wow! That is quite the crowd. Is it pretty easy to take a taxi to the restaurant? Lisa

 

[tigger137]

I know I will have missed all sorts of things over the last 2 weeks so would like to send to all who need it for various situations.

And could I please again ask for pixie dust/prayers for my DBro. He has now developed Guillain-Barre (?sp), lost the feeling in both legs and hands. He's back in hospital where they are treating him to hopefully halt the progress of this disease as otherwise it will paralyse his lungs next. He and his DW know they don't have much time left together now and so they want him to be at home, not in hospital.

Very easy. Just make sure you have the $ amount set before you get in the cab!

Lots of prayers going his way!

So sorry to hear this...our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Lisa

This is true anywhere in Mexico. Never get in a cab without knowing how much is is going to cost. I know I have said it before but remember if you want air condition then you better make sure before you get in the cab. They will all say they have AC and then when you get in they roll the windows down and laugh and say Mexican air!
