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

[linuxwebguy]

My Canuckleheads are leading the Blues right now 3-2 at the 2nd intermission.

I just noticed your sig, you've got extra days at WDW and DL sandwiching your cruise? WOW. ) I think I might be able to fit in a day at DL at the end since Monday is a holiday. I didn't realize that until yesterday.

katy, Juno was my other choice, I will probably go see it next week. I love the early morning movies on the weekend, just $6 and no need for popcorn before noon. Although I do give in and get a small one anyways.

PJ

We don't have morning movies here Oh well, I work most weekend mornings anyway I love the idea though, gets you up and out of the house early, then you have the whole day ahead of you!

 

[gydell]

This movie was also given some bad reviews, but you're the first I've heard from that actually saw it. I never go by the reviews, I like to read them but don't always agree. I love Jack Nicholson I did not like the movie About Schmidt though. Did you ever see that one? It had Jack Nicholson in it too but I thought the movie would never end

Didn't like that one either. Everyone including my dh said this was a good one!
Very few dry eyes in the house, including the men.

Looks like I need to plan on a few more movie nights

How could you forget me...what kinda Greek, I mean Geek are you?!
(you know I'm just kidding)

I'm a Baaaaaaaaaad boy!

(I know you're kidding, but that's what you get for canceling that last cruise with us! - kidding too!)

Yeah, when we decided on the cruise we decided to make it a "double dip" of the parks. The wife and I have always wanted to try and do a double dip. We came close in 1997, but just couldn't quite get there.

We also figure this will be the last big trip for us for awhile (my wife wants to change jobs - and cities - and my eldest will be moving into Grade 2 and the youngest getting ready for school) so we wanted to make it extra special.

My aunt, uncle and cousin are coming along as well. It will be their first trip to anything disney and the biggest trip of their lives. It will also be the first vacation they have had since my cousin (their oldest son 24) passed away in a car accident just over a year ago. With their daughter (21) in university, this will probably be their last chance for a family vacation with all of them before she gets on with her life.

And now my wife is just getting back from Edmonton where she was visiting her Aunt who has had been fighting cancer and it looks like she is losing. It has gone into her brain and the doctors are basically saying any day now. So it hasn't been a fun few weeks for her.

So yep, we aren't pulling any punches on this one.

I just got a PM from GreatWhiteNorth....she had to cancel too.

Kathe and I were supposed to dine with her....well Kathe....looks like you are stuck with just us

I'm trying hard to keep a civil tongue over what's going on with MIL. I just can't understand the choice (or lack of choice) which is why Paul and I are going to try an Alanon meeting this next week.

I've often wondered why my dad died when he didn't hard himself with drugs or booze, but MIL is still here dispite what she has done to her body. Sour grapes I know, and not kind on my part, but it just further explains how much I don't get this problem.

backto catching up now...I think I have 8 more pages. Then we are off to the awards ceremony for Wilson's go-karting year. He doesn't know that he is getting a big trophy. It should be cool.

I often wonder the exact same thing....just is not fair....

We have authentic clothes to wear for this night, since the kids celebrate Cinco de Mayo at school. There are vendors that sell them on ebay too. I wasn't so smart and bought them local in San Jose at a store, they weren't cheap....

Too bad this isn't the good shot of Molly's outfit, this was for a specific dance in 3rd grade. I see what I can find on ebay to point you to some good shops. The colors for the dresses for girls are soooooo cute.

Nan, Your family is so very cute!!!

I like swimming up and asking for Rum & Cokes

Me too......or maybe a Mojito!!

Oh, that's too bad. Lisa, that was the other cruiser who was going to join us for dining.

Kathe

Figured that out.....okay, you just need to find a teenager to bring with you!

We will still have a blast!!

Since it is just three of us (maybe 4 of Matt comes) ... maybe we should join up with another group......???

 

[pjpoohbear]

I saw About Schmidt on DVD and fell alseep. Never went back to it, just returned it.

Yes the morning movie, does get me up and moving, it is a good thing.

We are actually doing a triple dip on this one. We are driving to CA and doing 2 or 3 DL days, then flying to Orlando for 2 WDW days, then back to CA on the Magic and doing 3 more DL days!

 

[disneylover5]

Daniel is back at school safe and sound.

He has informed me he will be here in 2 1/2 weeks with 12 other kids (the VA Tech bowling team...8 boys and 4 girls) to stay at our house!! The Green and Gold George Mason Classic.....such fun!!

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

For any other Canadians I just saw an ad on TV for Disneyland where they are offering Canadians 5 days for 3 pricing.

I haven't looked online for it, but the ad says to check out disneyland.ca (or talk to your TA) for more details.

So if you are thinking of spending some time in DL this might help the budget.

Never mind...

Just found the small print that says the tickets must be used before May 7, 2008. So it would only work if you are going to DL prior to heading to Florida and Port Canaveral, like Mrs. Mork is doing.

sorry.

I'm sorry to hear that. I've learned the past few months that life is short, live it while you've got it!

I am ready for bed!! I must be getting sick. I have been popping Advil all day and it seems to keep my throat in check. Still a bit sore when I swallow anything.

 

[lillygator]

Ken - I am so sorry to hear about your cousin.

Take a nice hot bath before bed......I hope you feel better in the morning..

 

[Jhalkias]

they have the Mickey ear.....and they are pretty strict about the swim diapered children in that ear only. Some kids are content in there, but I think as they get a bit older and realize what is going on just beyond that ear, they start to want to climb out and join in the fun in the pool.

They just have one of Mickeys ears! We find the pools for the kids are way too small so we don't do them much.

We will be at the pool a lot. Sophia loves the slide, and I think I have a lounger there with my name permanently imprinted.

 

[MouseFaninQueue]

Ken - I am so sorry to hear about your cousin.

Thank you very much. Unfortunately it still really badly affects my Aunt and Uncle, and I don't think that is too unexpected. Even after a year and a half, it still stings. Parents just aren't supposed to bury their kids.

Now to change gears...

Woohoo. Canuckleheads actually pulled it out and won in OT!! And it was in St. Louis!! WOW.

(Yes I am a sarcastic -ok pessimistic- fan of the Canucks incase you hadn't figured it out yet )

 

[Jhalkias]

There's a Sail Away Party?

Yes dear, that's where Sophia and I go while you take your nap . . .
