Woody, you just crack me up!



Hey! Here's our embarkation photo:





Anybody else want to share theirs? This picture is 1,000 times better than my photo for Nov '05 (which I asked them to burn).

Hi ya'll! I haven't had much time lately, so I thought I would stop in to say hi in between Thanksgiving dinner and company coming tomorrow, plus the famous Poquoson pancake breakfast on Saturday. Whew!

I do believe we had the greatest DIS group ever on this cruise! I had so much fun!

The distag was great. We had fun delivering the bags...I got to see parts of the ship I had never been to before. (Deck 5 is very interesting, I got a lot of exercize going around in circles. )

I have to thank some very special people.

Janice and Linda, Jackie and Peg; you made Sarah's cruise magical. Thank you so very much!

Jackie and Peg, Dee and Win, Janice and Linda, my sister, Debbie, and honorary sister, Pat. You guys crack me up! I am really surprised "security" didn't bang on our door and tell us to "keep it down".

David, Wendy, Woody, Carolyn and Surley, Nancy/Wendy, Suzanne, and all my chat buddies, it was so great to meet you in person!

Pat and Tom, you are the best cruising/disney/any vacation buddies! We miss you already! Barcelona, here we come! (I swear, I am packing less )

I know I am forgetting some wonderful people I met, just know that you all helped us have a wonderful cruise.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
I finally got back to the computer and wanted to thank everyone
that had anything to do with my Special Birthday Events.
All of them. Thank you for the Special delivery package/message. Jackie and Peggy for being there for my 1st surprise. I am not sure who else was involved. But I just want you all to know that I appreciate all of your help. My sister is the BEST Sister in the World.
I have been at work for a week now and a few Co-workers keep asking
me to tell the story of the treasure hunt again, and to anyone who has not heard it.
I guess it made a good memory for more than just me.
I love my treasure hunt. It was so nice. The chest is still on my vanity.
When we move to the new house it will find a place of honor. My bracelet
is so beautiful. My secret at deck 8 is still such an honorable emotional
memory. For those of you that know it was just awesome.

DH and I booked for 2008 but want another double dip or as they call it twice
the magic. I think it was just the best.
I was so thankful that Marc allowed me to be the last guest off the Island.
Again, another thing my DSIS had arranged. And being dragged back on board was just a bonus.
It was nice to meet most of you. Some of you are just a hoot. I hope we can
keep in contact. I enjoyed the laughter with the "sisters" and Pat.
Well I guess I had better get back to work.
AGAIN THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE IN MY SPECIAL BIRTHDAY.
This was trully the best cruise ever.

Win

I have dubbed it the "Magic-al Mystery Cruise" as we couldn't book for the fall yet.
In November 2004, we were able to book for 2006 - the dates were released in October 2004 ....DCL must have more surprises in store for us!
I would LOVE a double dip with eastern itinerary
Off to work

WIN! You need to do a trip report....or at least a long, juicy post here, telling folks about your special events. We want the DETAILS, girl!

Pat, Linda, Dee....please tell me how you survived TWO YEARS waiting for this cruise. I'm not sure I can make it to the summer/fall of '08. I think I may be making a lottery ticket purchase a little more frequently than once a month....just to give fate a chance to bestow some bounty upon me. Or I could get busy and write the great American novel, or think up a new 'craze of the moment' (i.e., pet rocks and jibbitz) or sell everything I've got on e-bay. OK....just heard Peg's voice in my head offering this suggesting: "Stop eating every meal out and start cooking!"

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We've delayed ours as Peg was still feeling pretty crummy yesterday, so we'll do our 'movie and a meal' today or Sat or Sun.

I'm off to see if any of our cruise mates have added to their trip reports (hear that Wendy and Devin?).

I can tell you how I did it...simply you guys. It was a long time, but it seemed to go by quixkly..in retrospec. I could have done it alone, but it would not have been so memorable. I hope when we transfer our ressie to a Fall 08 that we will somehow all be together. I know that is a lot to ask, but after all it is Disney and Dreams do come true.

OK....just heard Peg's voice in my head offering this suggesting: "Stop eating every meal out and start cooking!"

I have to agree. I tell my nurse that daily when she complains she never gets to take a trip. I was amazed how much we spent eating out and when I got my statement from the CC compan and it was over 26K I darn near died. At the time you could not use a CC at fast food so I could only imagine it was well over that number. Now I try to cook at home and eat out once a week, cheap. I just love cruising and it is the payoff for me.

Devin, OMG I had a visual the whole time I was listening to this. I thought I would wet myself when he described the old woman beening him with a bible. He must have scared those four women. Better yet he will be more careful the next time he approaches an old woman, that is for sure.

Dee an I will be getting together this weekend after we move the Bunnies into my house and doing a trip report. She has a better knowledge of english.
I just do short statements, just the facts. ha ha
I was at work this am and a co worker asked me how to book a Disney Cruise,
Imagine that. So I signed on and she has a video comming to her. And some dates possible. She cannot take my time. She has 2 boys and has been to WDW a few times. My memory stick is a priceless piece of equipment. It is being shown everyday at work. Loved my Vacation .
Gotta Go and put the "formal night" clothes in the cleaners.
Less to pack.

I just wanted to take a minute and thank Elizabeth for all the help she gave us with the tag. We couldn't fit our bags into our car (don't ask!) and she had extra that she gave us. Not only us but OBX1AB also. It was sooo nice of her. THANK YOU!!

Wait Shelly, I'm trying to get a visual on this one... did she have an extra car to give you, or another bag... and if it was another bag, how did it fit???

Well, time for true confessions .....Linda, Sarah, Ed and I snuck in a 7 day Western in Dec 2005

And I believe Dee and Win might have had a little 'Wonder' in between

 

[ibouncetoo]

Yes, I was thinking a 4 day 'hold me over' would be good, it's just that stupid air fare to Florida and days off just for flying that kind of hold me back. Somehow I don't think a weekend cruise out of California would do the trick either. I suppose I can always keep my eyes on Southwest and see if any last minute opportunities come up
