My dogs ate my docs!

[imbelle]

At least that's what my DH said when he called me at work! Luckily when I came home and surveyed ground zero the damage was only to the outer packet. Whew! This trip has been a year in the making already..it was supposed to be a suprise birthday present for my sister last year and the day I sent in the deposit she called to tell me she was 3 months pregnant (would have been 26 weeks on the departure date). I don't think she expected to hear an anguished "AAARRRGGHH!" in response to her good news (just kidding, I was only screaming mentally).
Thanks to the good information I've found lurking about these boards I'm sailing May 6th in SPR 5520 and I've booked a day room at the Comfort Suites to use the Atlantis facilities. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for sharing your valuable tips. It should make for a memorable (if belated) birthday present!

Welcome to the board imbelle. Aren't dogs wonderful?? They do some strange things but are just as much part of the family. - Mike

Guess they want you to stay home with them.

Aren't the dogs supposed to just eat HOMEWORK???

Reminds me of the Chic-and-Chong movie where they were following the dog around for a few days

I have a little girl in my class, who will be sailing with you! They should be easy to spot, since she is one of a set of triplets, and has a sister only 1 year older then she is. A GREAT family!
Enjoy your cruise!

Actually its sort of a tradition that the dogs tear up something relating to our vacation before we leave them and go somewhere. The DH goes backpacking and the kids (2 90 pound Alaskan Malamutes) usually get his Backpacker magazine or his maps. (The DH has not learned to put away his toys..he's the one who left the door open which allowed the dogs to get at the cruise docs.)
Thanks for the good wishes regarding the upcoming cruise. I will be sure to look for the triplets..I was beginning to think we'd be doing the cruise solo..I hadn't seen anyone posted for the 5-6-04 date.
