May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 3

[pahrumpgirl]

Okay, I just bought our airline tickets so it is official! We will be in CA from June 19th to June 29th. We will be flying into San Diego to see our DD, DSIL and DGKs. Our newest, and 1st girl, should be born any time now and we are going out to see her and her brother. (Oh, and guess we should spend some time with the parents, too ). Will be taking them all to DL on the 25th and 26th. Can't wait. Need something to look forward to in order to make the time before this cruise go by faster.

Our next Disney fix will be WDW from Sept. 1st to 8th. Now that things are finally falling into place I have something other things to look forward to.

lisa, Kari got it, only a couple of EB pirates were around and they were Geeks.

Thanks for letting me know! I knew we were close, so I was wondering what was going to happen!

Lovely to have another grandchild on the way. You are going to have a really great vacation with them.

You'll be there in our thoughts....

Aaaaw, that's sweet.

By the way the Eastbounders are about to reach a post landmark! Should we venture over?

Noel,

Sorry to hear about your DH's aunt. You all are in our thoughts.

Thank goodness the last year and a half have quieted down for us. During the 5 years prior to that I lost 2 aunts, an uncle, my father, my mother and DH lost his father and brother. To say the least it was a rough few years but it has been a recuperative year and a half and we are now looking forward to a new life.

Those are many special people you lost over the last few years Carol. It must have been hard. May the future be bright, it looks very promising!!

I finally spoke to Javier today. who's the manager at Storyteller's. I called him a few weeks ago and he never called me back so today when I called, I left a message which was terse, but nice....I guess it worked because today is his day off and he called me back!!!

He's going to get us all set up and call me back on Thursday (he's off today and tomorrow) with final details but the bottom line is as follows:


When - Sunday, May 20th
Time - 5:00PM
Where - Storyteller's, Grand Californian
Meal - Buffet (large variety of food)
Cost - $26.99/adult; $11.99/ages 3-9
15% gratuity added automatically to bill

He said for parties this large they only do buffet, so there's no option in matter. And for a group of this size, I think that works out better so that there's not any confusion with the bill, etc.

These are the people who indicated they're coming...if you've changed your mind, please PM me back so that I can tell him to remove you from the reservation:

LiserAnn, 4 (2A, 2C)
clynne, 4 (2A, 2C)
ibouncetoo, 1 (1A)
TiggersPal, 1 (1A)
NotSoLittleMermaid, 1 (1A)
MrsMork and DrHug , 1 (4A, 1C)
Ssnyder, 2 (2A)
firsttimecruiser, 3 (2A, 1C)
birkner, 2 (2A)
LisaG520, 2 (2A)
tink1963, 2 (2A)
woody73, 2 (2A)

If I got the adult child ratios wrong, please let me know...and if more of you want to join us, please PM me with your name, party size and # of children to adults.

That should do it!!!

That sounds like so much fun...I wanna go. But sadly we will have just returned from WDW on the 18th and I am pretty sure DH would look at me as if I were possessed if I asked him if we could head to DL for a quick trip I don't think that is so crazy?! We want details and pictures for those of us stuck at home!

Congrats on the upcoming new granddaughter! I am sure you will have a great time on that trip.

I have to say, there seems to be so much tragedy right now. We just got a call here at the office that a friend of ours DH was killed last night by a drunk driver. He was a state cop who was on his way home from a meeting and was hit head on. My good friend (also a state cop) was the first on the scene and was the one who had to go pick up his wife and take her to the hospital. They have 2 boys, 2 & 5.
OK, I am ready for some good stories now...maybe back to HP discussions or how about SHOES??????

John and Noel and Kaylee....

Hugs to you all...

Hi guys,

I wanted to drop a post in here because I have no idea when I will get the opportunity to catch up now , or post . . .

Some of you are aware that we lost my mom the week leading into our cruise with the “Geeks” this last December. I got mom to the hospital the Saturday before our cruise, and by Sunday evening she had passed away. We ended up delaying our trip by a day, and going on the cruise with a heavy heart, which was uplifted by all of our friends here.

Well, yesterday I got a call from where my dad goes for physical therapy that he had passed out while there, and they called 911. So I spent a good part of the day and evening at the hospital yesterday. Dad is in good spirits, and is stable, but they have discovered a clot in each leg, low blood count, and fluid on his heart and his lungs (congestive heart failure). He is now in the coronary unit of our local hospital.

I am optimistic that dad will be fine, and that he is under good care.

We are hopeful for a good prognosis, and hopeful to still leave for a week on Friday.

Oh John1. So sorry to hear this. We will keep your family in our prayers. Please update us as you can.

Today is my first time on the boards since last Weds. and there is no way I'm going to catch up completely. I'm working from home today so that gave me a little time and I think I've at least caught up on the important stuff.

First and foremost, to all of those who are suffering losses, illness, or other tragedy, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

The weather is very interesting here today. All of the dogwood and cherry trees are blooming, the bees are out, the birds are singing, and it's SNOWING! We have had such weird weather this winter. I just want it to be over. I desperately need to dry out and warm up.

A quick trip to Disneyland would be a dream right now. But that's just not happening. Between saving money and vacation time for the cruise next year we'll be lucky if we can go camping this year. But, aaahhh, it's going to be so worth it. I've been planning this vacation for years. Originally, when I was dreaming of this vacation it was going to be 10 days in WDW and a week long Disney cruise. But it's so much better! A week at WDW and 2 weeks on the Magic will be pure heaven.

I wish I could participate in the Harry Potter conversations but I never did get into that phenomenon. I'll have to stick to the shoes and shopping conversation. I know a lot about that!

Thought I should post a picture about my kitty. Her name is bear and she is a lover when it's on her terms. She does the staring at the floor thing too. I always thought she was just a spacey cat. Guess she's not the only one. Also, our pomeranian, Bella. She was supposed to be my 50th birthday present. I really wanted a chihuahua but I got talked out of it. But she has turned out to be my husband's dog. She and I don't really get a long. He spoiles her so rotten that now she has some behaviour issues. My DD who lives with us also has a cat named Simba. I'll save pics and stories about him for another day.

Sorry to be so long winded.

Tina

O.K.

I just realized how sad my last post was. Now who is ready to have some fun?

We welcome both since both sadness and joy is what makes up life.

DH Grumpy John wants me to post the news that happened at my house today....We have a genuine .50 ctw diamond puppy. While we were having a snuggle fest today, Angel popped up and bit my ear. Afterwards I found that my right earring, a .50 ctw diamond small hoop, was missing. Couldn't find it anywhere....puppy must have swallowed it! We're hoping this too shall pass!

I bought shoes today! Dropped DrHug at work then went to the outlet mall. One shirt at Coldwater Creek, one top and shoes at Liz Claiborne, a stop at the kitchen store for a couple of items we needed for the MH and then to Harry and David's for dark chocolate truffles! Then to pick up DrHug to have lunch with him, now back at the MH DISing. My days are good this week!

Oh John, my heart goes out to you having been down this road with both of my parents.

I will keep him in my prayers and I am sending lots of pixie dust your way!

Stay strong for him!

Here's my theory: Snape really is good, and Dumbledore asked him to kill him in the last book. The whole "Severus please..." thing. Anyway, I think Snape and Voldemort will be killed in the final book. But Snape will die a martyr (sp?) in the process of saving Harry from Voldemort. Can you tell I have spent waaaay too much time thinking about this?

I'm right there with you Lori!! Totally obssesed with HP!!
