[ganurse]

[jesset]

we had to change our dates so we are now on the Jan 14th Cruise

 

[ganurse]

sorry your wont be with us!

 

[apcall]

I am looking forward to this trip as well (I have a trip counter as a screen saver) however it is our (me, DD [9], DD [13]) first cruise so I have many questions, but I will start off with these; how formal is formal? Do I need a three piece or just a suit jacket, tie and pants?

 

[pearlieq]

Welcome apcall!!!

A regular church/job interview suit is fine for formal night, though we did see plenty of men break out the tuxes. On our last cruise it was about 30% tuxes, 60% regular suits, and 10% "other" (everything from a sportcoat and nice slacks to jeans).

 

[ganurse]

I would totally agree on that last post..
PearlieQ, 45lbs? Congrats! How are you doing it?
I am enjoying trip reports and such..Totally getting me excited about our upcoming trip

PearlieQ, 45lbs? Congrats! How are you doing it?

Thanks! Just doing it the old fashioned way--trying to eat better and working out. I spend a lot of time on the WISH boards--they're a great group. Very helpful and supportive!

I've got a long way to go, but the cruise definitley motivates me! I'm going to treat myself to a new dress, so I look forward to losing more so I look great in it!

I'm having fun with the trip reports as well! Barb's got new 7 night Western navigators up on her site--I had lots of fun going through those!

 

[ganurse]

which website is that? i want to look! I am so proud of you. We are both trying to lose weight before babies start coming...Let me know how your dress shopping comes.!
Is barbs ************ or dcl tribute?

Us too! Though I'm just trying to make it through the holidays at this point without gaining anything back!

I think you've got Barb's site right. It get starred out because she's a TA. Since Dreams Unlimited sponsors the cruise boards they prefer not to have other TA websites listed. PM me if you have a problem finding it, but it sounds like you know where to go. The last time I looked she hadn't updated the front page to say that the navigators are new, but if you actually click on the "Navigators" section you'll see the ones from their cruse last week.

Everything looked like so much fun! I'm so stoked!!!

[where are you guys from? have you been married long? glad we have something in common. i hope more people join this forum should be a great time!

 

[pearlieq]

[where are you guys from? have you been married long?

We're from Chicago (actually the far West suburbs) and we'll actually be celebrating our 5th anniversary on board!!!

Have you guys been married long?

Just an FYI - there's more new stuff up on Barb's site--menus and new pics!

I can't wait to see who else will join us. Cruise friends make the trip so nice!

 

[ganurse]

We will be celebrating our fifth year in October. We will be going back to Williamsburg where we had our honeymoon. Should be really nice...I cant wait to get on the boat

pearlieq,

what suburb are you from? we are going too and are from there!

 

[pearlieq]

Hi Neighbor!!!

We live in Montgomery. It still feels like the sticks but we're pretty happy here.

How about you?

 

[goiu]

We live in Wheaton. I love this area! We just moved here. So, not quite sure where Montgomery is.

 

[pearlieq]

Hello Wheaton! Montgomery is about 20 minutes west of you, straight down I-88. We're just west of Aurora, if that helps. It's one of the newer areas of development, so most people aren't familiar with it.

Wheaton is very nice--very convenient to everything and plenty to do. I'm glad you're enjoying it here. Where did you move in from?

 

[ganurse]

Happy turkey day May 6, 2006 cruisers!

 

[ganurse]

have you seen the countdown? its really not that far away......

 

[pearlieq]

It is close! I can't wait!

We're headed to the World next week. Once we get home from that and through the holidays I'll really be able to focus on the trip. It's almost here!

 

[ganurse]

Its going to be a great trip!!!!! ITs finally cold here in Atlanta and we are loving it..May 6th is going to be a warm, no rainy week!
