May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 2

[mom_of_2_princesses]

Carol & Doug,
This is so nice of you. But I think you need to charge more so there is not question that your costs are covered. Not sure how everyone else feels, but I think you should have it be $25 plus $5 shipping U.S. and you will let us know if it ends up being more? I'll PM you. Thanks so much! I just got finished telling my husband about "fish" mail and then read your post! Sounds like so much fun.

Lisa

I agree make sure you are at least covering your cost. Let us know when you start a list of who wants one.

Seems alot of people know each other on this board already, I feel like a newbie...only person I know is LiserAnn - who I adored the first time i met her on these boards....and loved spending time with her on the ship....even though we didn't get to spend alot of time together, I hope we will this time......

Awww, the feeling is mutual! We'll have more time on this cruise for sure. The kids are older (in 2005 Drew didn't last in the kids club for very long) and we're not traveling with three other families (they're doing August so we're SOLO)!!!

Wow, you guys are quick. We have already had four requests. I think this is more than we had the first time I said I would do this. Any way, we have not gotten any material or anything yet so we are will not need any checks until we do. Once we have gotten some made and they are ready to send we will PM those with requests and let them know what we need from them (we will keep all names on hand). Just so that you are all aware, we will take checks as well as Paypal. Be forwarned, that if a check bounces you will owe us a DOD

 

[pahrumpgirl]

Ooh, ooh! Do I win a prize? With all the talk of fish extenders around here, I was wondering if you were starting to sweat bullets.

YES!

My wife and I are so excited about sailing on this cruise. This cruise has a lot of firsts for us - our first Disney cruise, our first two-week cruise, our first through the Panama Canal, our first cruise longer than a week and the bigeee (drum roll, please) - our first without our children (one is in college; one just got married and is in the Navy). We are a bit concerned about cruising alone and hope to meet up with other couples. We just discovered this board, which has lots of great information and lots of enthusiastic folks!

Welcome! There are several of us couples who have grown children.

Hi all,
I am listed as a cruiser, as you can see from the front page. I can't find this special website, Can someone email it to me?
Also, the pic I am looking for of the pirate party is the one someone has on their signature of a wonderful looking bunch!!!

Thanks in advance!

Are you serious? First time ever flying? Wow!!!! You guys get to do a ton of cool things all in a 15 days!

Yes, It really is my first time flying. This will be our 16th cruise but we have never flown. We have been to Jamaica, Haiti, Bahamas, St. Martin, St. Thomas, Belize, Costa Maya, Playa Del Carmen but have never flown. I am relly looking to my first flight.

Paypal is the greatest. Makes it so easy to transfer money!!

Can't really help you with either but to let you know - you will get a PM about the website. I think they are doing it in stages to make sure there aren't issues with too many people logged in and such.

Wow that is really neat. How exciting for you.

Got my envelope(s) from DCL for Panama and NYE 2008

Gor my Disney Visa statement with the deposits on it

Got enough points on the Disney Rewards to cash them in and have the card for the trip next week

okay, overall I'd call it good, right?

 

[gesamom]

This is a little late, but I just wanted to say
THANKS!!
to PJ, Laura, and everyone else involved with the website. It looks fantastic!

 

[TammyAlphabet]

I don't know how things work in Tenessee, but you should contact your Superintendent, and if needed, your school board. The rules you are probably reading are put in place for those parents who just don't care, and don't send their kids to school - not a parent who is taking their kids on an educational opportunity of a lifetime.

As a school board member, I will be curious to see how this turns out for you.

And, BTW - my sig is now changed too, and I am hoping it is legal!

Thanks so much! I appreciate the encouragement. I am hoping that a meeting with the principal will be all that is needed, but, it may be that going to the superintendent will be necessary. Maybe even the school board. I really want to go and I think it is the opportunity of a lifetime. Thanks again.

How did you like Belize? We are headed there in March.

 

[gesamom]

We homeschool the kids who will be 11 and 13 on this cruise and they are looking forward to cruise - especially after we do bookwork the months leading up to the cruise about the PC!

Krisann

Krisann,

We are also homeschoolers who will be on this cruise. My DS will be 12 and DD will be 9 (little DD will be 3, but I don't think she'll be doing much book learning by then!) Maybe we can exchange any good resources we find?

Can't wait to meet you!

[Ginamarie]

Good evening everyone!!!

I'm not sure if I caught up on all the pages (I forgot where I left off last night and you're all too quick).

Holly, I love the story from your son about where the characters sleep on the ship. Kids are too funny!!

DH was sweet enough to stay home from work on my first day post-surgery, and we wound up at the outlet mall. Poor guy!!! We got great deals though, kids shirts and skirts for 99 cents! Now Olivia really doesn't need any clothes.


I wish I could stay up and chat with everyone, but I feel tired and just want to ice my head and get to bed. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Hi Lucy! How you doing? I think EllaEnchanted is from PA, near you.

Yes, I am in PA and I am near Kutztown. I'm in Saylorsburg, just north of Allentown/Bethlehem in the Pocono Mtns.

lwilliam...we could do a meet

thanks LiserAnn for making the connection
