Hi Everyone.
I hope you all had a safe trip home and aren't as depressed as I am.
It was so nice to meet some of you, I wish I'd gotten to meet everyone.

Thank you so much to all of the fish extender group. Joey and I loved all the gifts. So many creative and thoughtful things. Thanks again.

We did not rebook anything. Im going to wait I think until the new ships come out.

Keep in touch

Hi Everyone! Well, I didn't meet ANY of you onboard Well maybe I did and just didn't know it. Did you end up having a party?

What a FABULOUS time we had. I can't believe it's all over. The weather could have been better, and yeah, the boat rocking wasn't much fun.......but other than that, it was fantabulous. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's pictures to see if I recognize any of you.

Laura

Laura, I definitely saw you and your family. Your children are too cute to not notice .
I will post our pics as soon as I upload them.
Glad to hear you had such a wonderful time.

We had a great time. I especially want to thank Audie and family for including us in so many activities. We felt like part of the bunch!

Christie and Angie: I had a great time at Senor Frogs!!

Les: Thanks for helping me consume the wine that I thought I had to have for the ship! Thank you Kennedy for hanging out with Ash.

Dana, it was great meeting you. Your son is so cute!

I wish I could have gotten to know more of some of the others. Just saw some in brief passing.

My DH did fly home on Saturday to fix our work computer problems. Ash and I had a wonderful time in WDW. Can't wait to go back. We haven't figured out what cruise to book next.

Will post some pics later. We just got back a couple of hours ago and are ready to head to grandma's for some turkey!!

I hope everyone had as much fun onboard as my family did. We booked again for 2010.

Wow!!! That was just like the best 7 days of my life!!!! Jolene and I had a great time and I really enjoyed meeting some of you....THANK you to those who introduced themselves to me!!!! I rebooked a sailing for this May (I know that I'm absolutely crazy, but it was just SO cheap and didn't conflict with school)...it was actually $200 less than this cruise AND included the $200 onboard credit...how could I not??? Well, I have until March to cancel!
So many fun, FUN memories...I need to write them all down so I can hang on to them!
Welcome home everyone!

Hi everyone! Laura, I was saying to some of the others I met that I never met you or Audie! I was bummed about that. I met quite a few awesome DISers along the way. We had a great time on the cruise. I couldn't have been happier with the kids club. The kids absolutely loved it! They were crying the last night because they didn't want to leave. They are not in school this week for the holiday and they are "so bored" now that there isn't someone there to entertain them from sun up to sun down!
We joined the DVC while onboard and I am pretty uneducated about that. Not at all like me to jump into something without researching it for months before. So I guess I'll be lurking/learning on that board for a while. We are looking at booking our next cruise. DH and I can't agree on the 5 day bahamas with 2 stops to CC or the 7 day Eastern...............hmm we have 24 hours to decide!
Oh I am having terrible computer problems and cannot post pics yet from this computer. Stay tuned I'll post some ASAP!

More new DVCers!!! We are members and love it, love it! We just bought more points...we figure with the grandbaby coming in Feb. we would need them! Christie, if you have questions, just ask! We've been members 11 years now. And btw....I got some cool pics of SNOW in Houston from my sis, down in League City area - did you get any? My son said it snowed in Austin as well---but as usual, here in Corpus we got nada!

I would absolutely love to have them, Audie!!! Thanks so much!

Did you add on at BLT? We are planning our first trip 'home' in October, the week before our next Western cruise! I can't wait!!!

Here in Kansas City, we've had snow twice since we've been home. It's VERY odd as usually we can make it until late December/early January before our first snow. I have a feeling that this Winter is definitely going to be a crazy one!

Christie and Angie: I had a great time at Senor Frogs!!

I have some Senor Frogs pics to share with you, Tami! I'll PM the link to ya!

Can't wait to go back. We haven't figured out what cruise to book next.

How about the 10/17/09 Western? Or the 4/10/10 Transatlantic? Both are going to be an AMAZINGLY FUN... because I'll be there!

I'd love to cruise with you guys again!

 

[ALawley]

I would absolutely love to have them, Audie!!! Thanks so much!

I don't see your email address here, send me a note at audielawley@gmail.com and I'll get your pics to ya!

we added on at Animal Kingdom Lodge, so we now have points at Boardwalk & AKL. We love AKL, it's so relaxing. We hope to make it there in May when it officially opens, but we will see -- might want to take our little granddaughter to Disney for her first Christmas!

 

[tamihaught]

Audie, we live about four hours from Seattle and eight hours from Portland. My brother and family live in Seattle. We definitely miss you guys. We are having crazy cold temperatures here. The windchill is below zero. Pretty unusual for December.

Angie, I am still looking at cruises. Are you worried about hurricanes during October? I will be contacting Audie as soon as we figure out what we are going to do. Please send me those pics from Senor Frogs. DH thinks they belong in the scrapbook. Ha!

Merry Christmas everyone.

Oh yes we did get a nice snowfall. My kids were really happy to see the snow and some of the little neighbor kids had never seen it. It was dark by the time it started but all the neighborhood was out and the kids were all screaming. It was quite funny. All melted by morning except a dusting on the roofs.
Angie I can't believe you are taking the kids out for both trips next year. I am so jealous. I got my nastygram from the school informing me the kids had missed 5 days. Reminding me that if they missed 10% of the school days I was subject to prosecution under TX law. AND if the kids were over 10 years old they were also subject to prosecution. Geez, give me a break. They are good students. I guess they mean it, "don't mess with Texas"!!!!!!!

We just got 17 inches of snow in less than 24 hours. We had all schools cancelled today and tomorrow. So much for the Christmas programs and parties. Ashlyn doesn't seem to mind though. Even our banks and malls closed today. I wish I was back on the Magic!!

 

[coastiewifern]

I saw Spokane on the new Tami! Icky weather!

 

[Magic-cruiser]

When we arrived in/at Grand Cayman, we had to stay on the far side of the island.
Does anyone remember the name of the area/bay that we were in?
Thanks in advance.
