Below is a copy of Nan's last post (yesterday afternoon) that she asked us to share with her Repo Cruise friends....will continue to update as we hear more...t


HI ALL:
Mom is out of surgery and I will see her in about an hour. The surgery went well and fast. There was no involvement of the lymph node, YIPEEEEEE!!!!

Here heart had gone back into normal rhythm, but we just heard that she went back into aphib (sp). She is in recovery now and things are good.

More update later as I get more info.

Thank you so much for the prayers keep ‘em coming,

Nan

Thank you so much for the update! Prayers and PD continue your way!

Hi Bubba! Don't worry, nobody would think you're rude. I know I get so excited to post, I just jump in too!

 

[HollyTyler]

HOORAY! The dryer is done! Now I can fold laundry, and pack that one last piece of clothing in Tyler's bag and 2 last pieces in my bag. Then I'm officially done and ready.

 

[mishoe01]

Leslie, you must be so excited....I have another 27 days and counting down till I'm back on the Wonder with World after.....and I can't contain my excitement.....I'll be jumping off walls by the time I'm six days away!!!

I would like to ask your advice/option on something.
We booked a cat11, were assigned a cabin, and got what I think is a great location on deck 7 aft. In fact I have told DU that I did not want a change or upgrade, mainly because of the location of our assigned cabin and I don't think I could get a veranda as a free upgrade.

I am now considering trying to upgrade to a cat with a veranda. I think a 5 or 6?. At the time I booked we could not afford it. But DM might have made this possible to do.

What do you think the cost might be? I'm not sure how it works. And do you think it is worth the cost?

Thanks for you thoughts

For the wine drinkers (and you know who you are )...

I thought of you all yesterday when I was at Publix -- on the shelf there were loads of....

Rosa Regale!!

I haven't tried it yet....how should I be drinking it?? Is it supposed to be chilled or room temp? What should I be drinking this with??

Marilyn - I'll double check the prices for you and get you some if it comes out well

Drive carefully and look forward to some pics and a mini trip report when you return!!

Leslie - let me know if you want to try to do a mini meet!

That would be really nice! Don't know if it would be possible though. We are traveling with three other families. Total of 20 people. If we had the concrete say on what we are doing, it would be an absolute yes! We are flying in to Tampa and then driving over to Orlando. Hitting MGM and Epcot on Friday. No real plans for Friday night except the pool at Boardwalk. Not sure about dinner yet. Saturday morning we are doing the character breakfast at Cape May and then driving over to the port.

When we arrive back from the cruise, half the folks are flying home. We are headed to WL Villas and the day/night at Magic Kingdom. Sunday morning we fly home. There might be time somewhere there on Saturday/Saturday night??!! We hope to nail down final plans here in the next few days.

Thanks for you thoughts

Venetia,

I believe any new room would be at the rate available on that date (doesn't matter when you booked the original room). What you could always do is let DU know that you're considering an upgrade, but want to know what the rate is before changing what you have. Then when something becomes available, they should let you know the new rate w/o affecting your existing res. No idea as to what the new rate will be. I'm actually trying to decide if I want to go from my nice midship Cat 11 on deck 6 to a Cat 9 (or 8). Need to know if it's worth it too. I would love to get an upgrade (free) but am not holding my breath on that!

If I could afford it - for this long of a cruise I'd go for a verandah!

We are loving the Bulls right now! Very impressed! They are fast and quick to the ball. They hit pretty hard to. Wouldn't mind seeing WV lose. Fun game to watch!

Go Bulls!

Sounds busy but loads of fun!!

Let me know what you want to do...don't feel pressured in any way - I'd be even willing for a drive by meet....maybe for a quick drink, or atleast a hug

Let me know if you're headed my way soon and I can get you some! (I can even have it ready and chilled for you -- if it's supposed to be chilled that is!)

I don't want to seem stupid, but who are the Bulls. All I can think of is the basketball team, but I know that we are currently in football season. So could some one enlighten me

 

[disneylover5]

I really like my diettogo food. I stick to it very strictly all week long and feel I can cheat a little on the weekends....keeping calories in check, but going for normal yummy food. This way I figure that I can stay on it long term....but the diettogo food is good, so it's not hard to stay with it. Thank you Lisa/disneylover5 for letting me know about it. It's soooooooo much better than Nutrisystem. I would highly recommend it Jackie!

Yes, I loved Diet to Go.I am glad you like it...stick with it, it really works!!

can't wait for the big game tonight!! Go Bulls!!!

Bulls are playing good....I want WV to lose......big VA TECH fan. I am going to Blacksburg in the morning.....the game is at noon and it is Homecoming!!

A friend sent this to me, thought you'd enjoy....

This one's for the Moms, although the Dads will find it funny too....he's sure to have seen his wife in this "mode"

We have stayed in every catagory....11 up to 4. We have just as much fun in 11 as 4......just a smaller amount of space.....but no problem at all. I think you will pay current rates.....which will be high to upgrade. I would be happy with my 11 and be done with it.
