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

Sounds like Bobby will have to go to the Office with you!

RE: Colts attitude and behavior. I have been thinking about that questions from Lillygator and wonder if the behavior of the Team is a team effort. Based on the behaviors we hear about and the behavior we see, it looks like everyone is helping each other--players, coaches, owner.

Last year (I think it was) one of the Colts got a speeding ticket. The only other thing we heard was that he was traded to another team. No hoop-la, no bargaining at traffic court, no rationalizing to the media, nothing. That would be a good lesson to the others to remind them that their behavior matters. Sounds like they have a no-strike policy--"you represent the team and if you do not live up to these standards, good bye."

Wow! For a speeding ticket! Guess they are serious about their image. We only have a basketball team here (Blazers) and I think they finally learned that image matters. The players were into everything imaginable and eventually they had problems getting folks to attend the games. This year finally they seem to be concentrating on doing their jobs and people are starting to go to the games again. The last couple of years they could not give their tickets away.

Samantha was so excited this am...the Tooth Fairy left $10!! She put it in her cruise savings envelope and made sure to comment hers seemed much larger than Haley's!

VERY cool! Lucky girl!

I would love to know - on the ship, just how many people are repeat cruisers and how many are first timers....I bet not many first timers.

We are first time Disney Cruisers (DH, DW, and DS (6)). DW and I have cruised once before, but that was carnival and it was the 3 day party boat to Ensenada and back. Not too much fun. We are VERY excited about 15 days on the Magic though. It's hard not to talk about it every day. So many choices for excursions!

Not having cruised before though, I wonder if we'll be bored on sea days. Is there really a lot to do. Being cheap, I don't plan on playing BINGO every day.

You get Mickey Head rice crispy treats! And they give away some prizes, play an ice breaker game. I had heard bad reports about changes made, but we went in Dec and enjoyed it.

We preferred it over the old format. Enjoyed the ice-breaker game and mingling with all the crew.

Hi! We have only played Bingo once in 3 cruises. And only made it to the pool twice and we're never bored! If anything we try to do too much.

It's going to be great!!!

Well I'm home sick today. Really didn't want to do it as I'm hoarding vacation time but at least it's a holiday weekend so I get an extra day to help recover. Wicked head cold with a nice barking cough! I went to work yesterday but only made it 6 hours - haven't slept well the past 2 nights.

I'm drinking plenty of liquids and taking robitussin hopefully it's enough as I'm pretty sure antibiotics aren't needed.

At least I can post today - at work I can read but not post gets pretty frustrating, I come home from work with page & post numbers I want to respond to.

We got our DCL confirmation from TA this morning showing Balance Due $0!

Hi. I am sure there will be loads to do on board. There are all the things DCL put on - tours, activities such as towel animal making(!) wine and martini tasting, plus films to see. Then there are some extra things they will put on for our cruise, and last of all the thnings we as a cruise have planned.

Gee, it's almost lunch time! When is the old man going to give me some work to do?!

So I should probably go adjust my weight loss ticker, but just don't want to see it in print. I've gained 3 pounds. But it doesn't really bother me because I've still LOST 42 pounds!!!!!! In fact, one of my co-workers was teasing me today about my pants falling down. She asked if I need suspenders! She told me she hates to admit it, but she just has to say that my clothes just don't look very attractive anymore. Honest, she WAS NOT being mean about it....it was all said jokingly. But it's true!

That tax refund next week will help buy new clothes too!

You will feel so good in new clothes Holly it will spur you on to lose more. You have done so well and you should be very proud of yourself.

Back again, family phone call beckoned. Still trying to get caught up

I have fianally figured out that Frank is your FIL. Took me awhile Duh. At first I thought he was your DH and then looked at your ticker.
You so need this trip, with all the caring you are doing for your family. You definately need some time to get way and focus on you.
I hope Frank is doing better.

Thanks for the encouragment Marilyn. Things will go better if I could just motivate myself to get to the gym. I haven't gone since summer.

 

[Mom323]

I have a question on this - I was on the list with that Noel did for the brunch - do we still try to make reservations separately also or just wait to hear about the group? I do not want to mess anything up with having brunch - I enjoyed it so much more than dinner!

Same question here, has anyone heard from or contacted Noel?

I have had the same problem as I went to the gym around the15th November, and then not till last week. I could only be bothered with going one day, but ahve been twice this week. Perhaps I have turned a corner.

Same question here, has anyone heard from or contacted Noel?

I am thinking she or some close member of her family is ill as she normally pops in regularly and she would know we would want to hear about her cruise in the Walt!

Sorry I missed you when you were in Maryland. LOVE the haircut!!!
I stayed off the DIS for a few months, I was spending way to much time here. The cartoon about the computer and housework could have been me.

Thanks for the heads up.
I feel so behind on everyone's posts. I am still trying to get caught up just from page 3011.

If anyone is interested, DCL told me that the rainforest pass will be $120 for our cruise.

Wow thanks for the info. We plan on trying this out this time. Isn't it normally $15 a day? Great Price.

 

[nskjerven]

I dropped Noel a pm to let her know we are thinking about her. Hopefully everthing is ok. I'll let ya know what I hear. I have been worried about her lately.

So he would be Bob Dole?!! I think Bob Dole would enjoy the humor. I met him once, had my picture taken with him. What an incredibly nice man with a super sense of humor!!

Actually wouldn't it be Roberto Dole - he is from Central America after all so I think his name would reflect his Spanish heritage? Bobby is only his nickname.
