May 29, 2004---Who is with us?

[Brenbug]

Just got an email from the Coki Dive Shop, they are on vacation the week of our cruise so no Scuba there. Bummer. Alternate plans must be found.

 

[tchrmom]

Hey Paul,

Thanks for the info!

Can you believe it???? Only 11 more to go.

Actually.....10, since we'll drive over on Friday afternoon!

Have a great day!
Fran

PS..anyone remember the wedsite address for the timers?

Fran,
Since I already had a timer in my sig, I just copied and editted the code...everything from the less than sign followed by the word "Script" to "Script" and the greater than sign. You could probably do a search for "countdown timer" too.

We are actually into the single digits, since our flight down to FL is at 6pm on Thursday. (My countdown timer is set to our sailaway time.) If all goes well, we should be at the Ron Jon resort by about 10:30pm! Then we enjoy a relaxing day at Ron Jon on Friday (trying not to get sunburned) and dinner at Grills.

Paul...we ate at Grills last time and it was really good. We are thinking about trying Dixie Crossroads this time. Has anyone eaten at Dixie Crossroads.

We hope to be at the Radisson by 3:30 or 4. We have to wait for tchrmom to finish up work.

Dave,
We ate at Grill last year, too. We enjoy having dinner outside right on the channel.

I've seen several Dis'ers rave about Dixie Crossroads, but we haven't been there.

Hey Paul,

Just scheduled the Champagne Cat. for St Thomas. I can't believe we are this close. When I first set up my counter it read 342 days.

Hey gang!

Does everyone realize that tomorrow, we'll all be able to do the single-digit dance?

I remember how thrilled I was when we were able to do the double-digit!!!

I can taste those Mickey waffles now! (And the Mickey ice cream bars , the chocolate souffle, the cinnamon rolls at Topsiders, )

Can anyone tell what I love to do while on this cruise?

I'm also looking forward to relaxing, the DISmeet, and the sailaway party! :thewave:

 

[tchrmom]

Isn't it great? We've been dieting for months, so that we can EAT, EAT, EAT,EAT.

Now, pass me another chocolate souffle!

Whew! What a day! I spent the good majority of it freaking out unfortunately. Instead of being excited about leaving, I was wondering if I was still going. My friend Laura just began a new job (they knew she was taking time off and approved it) and is also pursuing her masters degree. She emailed me today freaking out and saying that she didn't think she was going to be able to go - too much on her mind and she was extremely stressed about making up work/classwork when she got home. Needless to say, I was beside myself - frantically trying to figure out what to do. Emails went back and forth and we even discussed somebody going in her place. Well, we just talked on the phone and it appears she is going - as long as she can stay in touch with classmates via email and work if need be. So we will be purchasing the unlimited internet package and hopefully all will be well - we will have contact with the outside world! At this point, we both need this vacation! we have been friends since we were 5 and we've both been through a lot this year - so needless to say I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Now I'll happily be doing the single digit dance with all of you tomorrow!!!!! Time to start packing!!!!!

OMG I am starting to feel the single digit dance coming on. IT is almost here.

Phew I almost started the single digit dance one day to early. I am going to have to wait one more day

This week is going by SOOOOOO slow.
I just have a few more things to get and then I will be set.
Over the door shoe holder and sea sick meds and suction hooks for our bathing suit and snacks for the plane and gum and..... well maybe a lot of things, oh well that is what weekends are for

 

[tchrmom]

Let's all do the single digit dance!


One nore thing to add to our "to pack list":

Next time the Magic is here, it will be us!

Paul

 

[SimbaNoodle]

Can't wait. Last night I was looking around and feeling alittle overwhelmed at the thought of packing for four people for 7 days. Then it hit me, my wife is doing it.

Just kidding.

 

[SimbaNoodle]

Are we still looking at meeting at 3:30 on deck 7? Just curious.

Dave, when do you check in at the Radisson? We will be arriving late Thursday.

Lewis

 

[Mickeylover]

I think the 3:30 meet on deck 7 is a go on our end...

Maybe we'll do a "pre-cruise cookout" this Sunday and invite my parents over--anyone have a Konk Cooler recipe I can try out?

tchrmom, talking about dieting--both my parents and DH have been on Atkins--so I know they are looking forward to being VERY BAD for a couple of days!

Of all the times for the office to get crazy (and I mean "high level organizational crazy" this is not the time I wanted it to happen! I'm afraid I'm going to end up checking e-mail during the cruise--hope I don't slur my words!

 

[XLT800]

Here you go Debbie........
1/2 can of cream of coconut
3 ounces of light rum
3 ounces of dark rum
1/2 of a 12 oz can frozen passion fruit juice concentrate ( Welches)
4 oz of orange juice
2-3 cups of ice
Add all together in a blender until very fine and smooth
Lots of friends and a warm pool.......Have fun!!

3:30...deck 7 is still good for us.

Lewis....we should be at the Radisson 3:30 to 4 on Friday. It depends on DW. We will be in the car waiting for her to get home from work. I see that you are doing the Champagne Catamaran in St Thomas now, we are also on that.

Paul...thanks for the picture, that is what we were saying at breakfast this morning.

Hope everyone is having a good week.

Dave

 

[Mickeyhugger]

Yes, we'll be on deck 7 at 3:30 too!

I'm trying to 'lose before we cruise' too, but then I start stressing (in a good way) w/all that we still need to do and pack, then reach for a carb (bad carb) snack!

Has anyone been reading the menus on the castaway club site?

Oh, we can't wait!

 

[chairee0]

It's official, it is now time for the single digit dance :thewave: :thewave:

Deck 7 3:30 is good for us.

I think we should we have a plan B in case the entrance to deck 7 is closed.

Exactly seven days until I head to Port Canaveral. DW & I have been on two Carnival cruises, but this will be our 1st Disney Cruise. We are so excited. It's like we have never been before and since our kids have never been they can hardly wait.

My DS must do: eat pizza at 3 am. He thinks it's great that he can eat whenever and whatever he wants and it's free, at least from his perspective .

We can't wait to meet all of you and enjoy 7 days on the Magic together.
