Tomorrow is 8 months till our two week vacation. Today was a day from HELL. We lost power at 12:30 last night thanks to Irene. We woke up to 4 inches of water in the basement. Glad that the furnace and water heater are up on cement platforms. This 8 months must go fast. We where able to get a generator to get the pump running and pump the water out. now the dehumidifier is drying the basement out. I know there are people out there that have more damage but this was to much for us. We had no power for 13 hours. thank god it is almost over. the winds continue to blow so we have our fingers crossed that we do not lose power again...

Hi Sam...

Happy to know you and Kristie and Kaitlan are safe.
Watching from the West is terrible... but living thru it must be nerve racking! Prayers are with you and all the other in the East

Feel guilty now for complaining about the wet summer here! Have never experienced anything like Irene - it looked really scary! Sorry to hear about all the damage but hopefully you will get it sorted soon. The next 8 months will fly by!

Well school has started and it looks like this cruise might becoming more of a reality for us. I found another family that is taking their kids out of school for more than one week They are going OOT in Oct and in December, so I should be able to swing Nov and May. Crossing my fingers! Would love my oldest dd especially to meet someone who will be in the tween club before hand. That really helped her immensely with our B2B Dream cruise. Any tweens out there???

Oh great... My girls will be 10(Kenzey) and 12(Matti) . My oldest did not go to the kids club at all when we cruised in 2009. Her little sister had no issues going. This past cruise in April 2011 since we met some people online before hand, it made a HUGE difference. Matti was 11 and suppose to go to the tween club but they let me sign her up with the Oceaneers club and even get a wristband which was comforting to her. But at 12 and having the experience on the Dream, she will definitely need to go to the Tween club and it would be great to hook them up with your girls beforehand. Maybe next month we can swap emails, that is how she hooked up with a few girls before our last cruise. Thanks!

We did the same thing on our Dream cruise in February. I will send you Kaitlin's email in a pm. So I think it will be great for your girls and mine.

So you just came back from Alaska! How cool is that??

We havent been to the Bahamas in a long time... excluding Castaway Cay.

So you'll have a good idea of the Fantasy since you've been on the Dream a few times.
We are all happy that you are joining our group.

Welcome! You will have to tell us more about your Alaska cruise!

I can't believe how the time is just flying by! Labor Day just seemed to arrive in a blur! We've been evacuating/not evacuating/sitting and worrying this week from the wildfires in Magnolia, TX Looks like everything close to us is under control So thankful for volunteer firefighters!

Thanks Annie - looks like they have really made headway the past couple of days. We have had the DC-10, 4 blackhawk helicopters and many other air supports added to the ground crews, plus a team from CA arrived and they know their stuff! Looks like the worst is over, although the prediction is another 2 weeks, assuming no rain, maybe longer, but as long as it's within the containment area all will be OK.

Can't wait for our cruise!! We are going with family to WDW in November, so I have a mouse-date upcoming, but nothing beats a cruise for sheer relaxation.

Hope everyone else is doing well.
