November 11, 2006 - MAGIC - Special Western "Double Dip" Cruise 11/11/06

[Hannosmom]

Susie, sorry you won't be joining us, but you will have a blast on your two week cruise.

Wendy, your dream was too funny! But in spite of the "dream", it sounds like the VV family is all set for a magical vacation. And no worries, we won't be passing by Catalina Island.

I just thought that I would let whoever is keeping the roster list up to date that you can remove me. I had to cancel because I just didn't have enough vacation time this year. I did rebook for the Eastbound Transatlantic though.

Everyone have a great cruise!

Sorry to hear it but have fun on the eastbound...I am going WEST!

Wendy, your dream was too funny! And no worries, we won't be passing by Catalina Island.

I wondered how we got from Florida to Catalina in only a matter of a couple of hours. I've never been on a cruise that goes to Catalina, but have sailed over there a few times from Newport Beach, CA to moor for a few days. When I was telling the dream to a friend, she told me that they "tender" in Catalina. That made me remember another part of my dream. In the dream we tendered to shore in Catalina on surf boards (3 people per board) and I kept falling in the water.

I agree with Carolyn! No more In-N-Out on Survivor Night! This whole thing is oldest DS fault. He won the GATE award, and I told him he could have whatever he wanted for dinner. See... if he had not won the award, I would have fixed lasagna for dinner last night, and then I would not have had to eat it in my dream with red wine that turned my teeth purple. All his fault

Wendy, Wendy, Wendy....your dream wins thus far...

Good Morning All! Kind of quiet around here without Wendy's dreams.....Haleigh was dreaming last night about a "scavenger hunt" but having only seen pictures of the ship and CC she's not sure what to expect....

TRAVELING CHANGES FOR US:

We decided not to go to Court with Jeff's ex over permission for his youngest daughter....the time will come....and his youngest son seems to have developed a "Dad can kiss my butt while I'm busy kissing my Mom's butt" kind of attitude. So....Pat, please mark our group as:

Me 34, DD Heather 11, DD Haleigh 7 and DH Jeff 48, DD Sheryl 27 and DSIL Mike 38, DS Jeffery 23 and his DGF Rachel 23

Also...IMPORTANT NOTE...you may notice the DH ....the cat is out of the bag (although a hint has been in my signature for about a month now)...

We have moved our wedding up!
Jeff and I will be married in a civil ceremony in the terminal on the date of sailing and we will be having a small wedding on Castaway Cay on Friday morning......Disney and the Magic will always be a part of our lives together......and our Nov 2007 Eastern cruise on the Magic will now be for our 1st anniversary....

So you will have to forgive me if I seem to disappear from the DIS every so often....planning, planning, planning....

Hey fellow cruisers- I had to tell someone and I knew you all would understand--I PAID OFF MY CRUISE TODAY!

Way to go! You are probably the first to do so, and should get an award.

Woody

Kris - I'm so excited for you! Congratulations!

 

[faireygod mother]

Kris..congrats, I was wondering how the 2007 cruise was your first anniversary, now I know.

Mom2dil.. welcome to the POC(paid off club) feels great dosent it?


Well I wanted to shear the we signed a contract with a contingency. So, unfortunately, the house will stay on the market and we will see if we get another contract without one. I spend more time away from home than I do there. I was actually able to cook last night at home and have family over for dinner. It felt so good. They have been showing to house up to 7 p.m. and it makes it hard to get anything done. I was even able to work on the last two cj"s and will be shipping them all tomorrow.

Hope everyone is having a great week.

 

[mom2dil]

Thanks friends for all of the positive feedback on my BIG PAYOFF! I am going to check out that Dolphin Discovery Cozumel. Just a quick poll on who else is doing it and do any of you have small children who will also be on the excursion.

I am so glad that I have found a place where I can feel at home with complusive planners like myself! You guys are great!

 

[CJLKIM]

Kris..congrats, I was wondering how the 2007 cruise was your first anniversary, now I know.

So someone did notice my clue....

Thanks to everyone for all the congrats I decided to take a break from wedding plans and focus on the vacation part....have read almost half of my new Passporter (although I just read it last fall) and have been making notes to myself for what all I need to accomplish in the next few months.

Now that I have the official sailing list for my crew I can begin to look at joining the "paid in full" group. Jeff's boss has added Jeffery to the payroll (or maybe Jeff and I are paying him this week??) so they are driving team for a while. Jeff figures it's a great way to help Jeffery put some money back and get some loan repayments for the Bank of Dad....the more he pays us...the more money we have for the trip.

Well....I'm going to go take it easy...came home with a migraine at lunch, took some meds and have been resting in the jacuzzi tub for about 2 hours reading the Passporter....and now I'm on the DIS....is my obsession showing too much??? Maybe I'll call Jeanna......

 

[faireygod mother]

Kris, I hope you will be feeling better soon. Nothing worse than a migrane.

I hope some of you will be joining us for chat tomorrow.

 

[Hannosmom]

Sarah and I will be up for chat tonight.
