ooooh ooooh me me!!!!

I'm watching right now.

I will try and do summary posts every day. Next week if work doesn't make me TOOO crazy, I will log the summaries and then work with Pj and see if we can make a week in review summary on the new webpage. That way if you miss a week or two, you can just catch the summaries!!! So bear with us, we are trying to make this a non threatening, didn't study for that pop quiz, type of board!!! Because, we have heard rumors, that some of you have lives and are not here 24/7!!!

I really really appreciate this--I, for one, am glad that you only have a DIS life! If I had a choice, I'd be here 24/7 too. Life's pretty hectic right now, and then thinking about paying for this cruise makes it that much more hectic, because it means I have to try to work harder.

Now I also have to think about fun lights for our verandah and a banner for the Canal day.

I hope you all saw Noels post cause we are totally serious. Noel (birkner), Ulittletinker, jhailkis, waltsgirl, lillygator, pjpoohbear, and mrsmork have all been busy bees faxing and working with DCL to make sure our little or big group gets to have at least one dinner and one brunch in the private room at palo. We need a list of names to give DCL on some of these days to make sure we get the room.

Noel, (Birkner) has graciously agreed to keep track of all the names and we will forward on to DCL as soon as we get them. This does not mean you are cast in stone to go, I am sure when we get closer, more people will add and drop out, we just all thought this would be a fun way for us to help out.

So please pm Noel if and let her know if you are a brunch and a dinner, or just one and we will work out the days in 2008.

Hope you all like this idea!!!!!

You guys are AWESOME!!! Braty thanks for the recaps, I'm reading thru out the day (this week) but as to the rest of the 15 months....no promises....

PJ, can't wait for the website, I feel like we are already in our own little magic world

Thank you, Tony, for this excerpt! Ok, now, I want to get up early, too. Are you bringing your HAM radios on this trip? My DS8 earned his technician's license last year (at 7!!). I doubt he has the right kind of radio (some hand held thing) or license (??) to listen in on the canal...we'll have to check.

Carolyn

We bring our hendhelds. Although, last time, I was threatening to bring one of my big HF rigs, and run an antenna off of our balcony.

You don't need a license to listen - so long as you have the right radio and know the frequencies, that's all you need.

I just passed my Extra license (highest ham class). With them eliminating the Morse Code requirement, I think a lot more people will be exploring the hobby.

No, if they were hand washed, we put them on hangers and dried them in the bathroom or out on the balcony. I am sure we will get to balcony decorations a little closer to the cruise. Like in summer when all the cool stuff comes out!!! We had pirate penants and flamingo lights decorating our balcony!! Yet another reason to make sure to bring PLENTY of duct tape!!!

Add duct tape to the list, check.

Bring something to be able to hang clothers in the verandah, at least we have a navigators verandah and that will make it harder for our undies to go overboard

Thanks for the answer.

Hi All...another busy day for all of you! I am pleased to say that my brother has decided to join us on this cruise! It took him some time, but he wants to spend taylors birthday with her! What a good uncle! So...for all you single gals..he's cute (i'm predjudice) and just turned 30! Now, if he reads this I'm in big trouble. I gave him the link for this thread..he was very confused! Didn't understand the initials etc., but you guys sold him! He said it looked like a fun group! Thanks for being so chatty!

Tony, I loved your excerpt from your journal and the picture! I was surprised by how small the locks look in your photo. For some reason I was expecting a much longer canal. Can't wait to see it for real!

 

[HollyTyler]

Sounds like it's a must!! I think we're in...have to plan for a nap later!

Carolyn

Count me in too!

 

[HollyTyler]

I think dh is getting tired of me talking about THE CRUISE. But the truth is that I can´t stop thinking about it, I am sooo excited. He is too, but he could definetly forget and then just show up at the terminal on sailing day,

Though I am figuring that maybe I am not the only one, since I am not the only one typing away like crazy on this thread

My friend Cindy asked me if I could do her a favor and just not talk about the cruise for about a year!

 

[mom_of_2_princesses]

Count me in too!

I'm in too!!!

 

[mom_of_2_princesses]

Start saying to Cindy

 

[birkner]

Mmm, good to know. But do you bring your handwashed clothes to the dryers?

Taking note about adding to budget more $ 1 bills to pay teenagers for the laundry.

I was almost thinking about asking a friend to let me use the washer and dryer of her house in Acapulco, and then again at my cousin´s house in Los Cabos, but I would much rather have someone else than me do it

Maybe I will brink all the clothes that no longer fit so they can shrink and fit dd in a few years, she will surely love them.

How I got all my rolls of quarters is saving all the change my husband and I acquired in a year. I turned in into 10 rolls of quarters which I used for laundry and toll charges.

Excellent job on the summary Laura! I especially loved this part:

"If it is below freezing leave all your fawcetts trickling so you do not have to electrocute your pipes to thaw them!"

Definitely had me laughing out loud!

 

[HollyTyler]

No offense, just have to have to claim my phrase....

it's Drink o' Day...hence DOD.... (to me)

and I like them because I'm a light weight and need half the alcohol in my drinks to like the way they taste...

And as my dear friend says "that's why there are 31 flavors" if you want it buy it...if ya don't don't buy it.

And remember, I dubbed us the 2DOD club. And I think somebody else came up with DISignated walkers!
