NYE Western Cruise 2008 - New Thread

[tiggerwannabe]

Au-gust, au-gust, au-gust!!! (That was supposed to be me chanting BTW... ) Pleeeease feel free to join us on our Tortola cruise!!! We'll definitely be doing that one as, after the crazy escalating prices this year, I've already booked our flights!!!

I just saw you have three days and you're off again!

What's the Mexico trip in your siggy? Is that a repo?

When in October are you at Disney? Rose wants John and me to go down in October too, I would make more of an effort to go if I knew you were there at the same time

 

[Marla Hellwig]

nay not at the moment - more like the last 6 weeks of school stuff

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I'm in Finals mode right now with school...I should be writing my marketing paper. My last class/test isn't until the 12th of May. I have two final projects (the paper and my redo of my wine label for design class) and three tests to take (Chem Lab, Chemistry class and Economics) between now and then~

and on May 15th, I sign up for the next set of classes which start on the 16th!



Good Luck with yours Marla!

I planted the thought in Aisling's head Nan, please don't be upset with her...

again, my thinking is it'll be an excuse to go to California, still take a cruise, get extra days for porbably the same price I'd be paying for the new year's cruise.

Nan, is it around the same price or alot higher to do the repo?

I remember when I first checked, even the transatlantic cruises cost less than the NYE (verandah) if done with an inside stateroom. I have NO problem with an inside stateroom. In fact, if Mel weren't coming this trip, we would have an inside. I just wanted him to get the full effect for his first time cruising. Any future cruising will be inside, as I'd rather save some money.

Yes - been waiting a long time for this one! I even started the thread...

...What's the Mexico trip in your siggy? Is that a repo?

Dick, Samuel and I are doing the last Mexican Riviera cruise on the Magic before the return repo...

..When in October are you at Disney? Rose wants John and me to go down in October too, I would make more of an effort to go if I knew you were there at the same time

Samuel and I will be there for a week from October 20th to 27th. We're staying at Boardwalk Villas...

Hi all, just wondering if anyone will be doing the fish extender thing. This will be our first cruise and would like to participate if anyone else is.

Hi, I'm glad to see you check in.

I think our cruiser Anjelica offered to coordinate that list. She has a spot for it on the website she created for this cuise. Look back a few posts to see her link to it. I want to participate, too! I believe she leaves for vacation tomorrow, so when she gets back, we can get the ball rolling!

i'm sure we will be too!!

 

[nskjerven]

OMG Nan I just noticed you have a higher post count than I do! Gee, I thought you were the quiet type!

I talk my head off on the repo thread. And I have totally lived up to my avatar

 

[nskjerven]

well you got me all wishful too - so i went & checked what's out there....no repos (sure they won't take the magic to CA 2 yrs in a row)....so started looking at the eastern with Tortola....Kaz is doing that one in Aug...but not sure that will fit into our schedule so may have to look at a Dec '-09date again....or early '10

I'm hoping for Asia in 2010. If the ship goes to Japan/Toyko we will be on it. Molly's bday Toyko Disney July 2010, that's my plan.

I have cat 4 pricing only

12K for western repo 15 day
8K for NYE 7 day

TA prices dropped hugely. I don't think they had the draw the repos do. If we didn't do China that summer I would have booked.

Good morning,

Does anyone loathe food shopping as mcuh as I do?? I'd rather clean my bathrooms and wash the floors than go food shopping. I'm actually thinking of starting to have it delivered, as my supermarket offers that service. Everytime I'm walking into the store, I have to keep telling myself "it'll be over soon". One of my quirks, I guess. I'd much rather go to Target or Bed Bath & Beyond!

Chad got his Italy student visa yesterday. Brenda, I forwarded your Rome-schedule email to him, and he'll contact you. He's truely looking forward to meeting you and Ryan. You'll love him, he's such a great kid!

Jesse has informed me that he wants to grow his hair long. I'm usually strict about haircuts, but I said ok, as long as it's neat. He doesn't mean long, as down his back, but something like this:

It's almost there. I kinda wish Chad would let his hair grow out a bit, as he's had a buzz cut for years since he was in ROTC. He loves it, no fuss, no muss, but he naturally has a great head of wavy hair, and I'd love to see it again.

I'm sitting here wasting time, stalling my trip to the supermarket!

Took Jesse to school, went to morning Mass, and now watching the Chinese tai chi ladies in the park. I'm meeting two friends for lunch later, so I have to get moving.

BBL
Have a fun day!

...Does anyone loathe food shopping as mcuh as I do??

Yes. Detest it. By the time the food is home and in the fridge/freezer/larder I have no longer any desire to eat/cook it.

Probably won't have time to stop by tomorrow so I'll say "bye bye for now!" I'll check in when I return from WDW and the Bahamas...

Have an ab fab Magical trip Nan!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Bye Kaz! Have a great trip!

I'm already subscribed to your pretrip report and look forward to reading more when you get home~

Aisling, nice picture! A nice view if'n ya ask meh

Does Jesse straighten his hair or is his just straighter than Chad's?

Thank you for all the answers Nan, LY girl MI!

I have class in an hour...bbl~

 

[Aisling]

Does Jesse straighten his hair or is his just straighter than Chad's?

Jesse's hair is straight, spaghetti straight, so it'll be easy for him to keep neat...wash, comb, air-dry, and good to go.

Bye Kaz!!!!!!!!!! I'm going over to check out your pre-trippie!

i did hear from Chad & as soon as i get our Rome Schedule from the tour company i told him i would email him again & let him know which day / afternoon / evening we had "free time" so we could meet up him & take him to dinner or something - we won't interfere with his classes though - so will go somewhere prior to or after his class...
i'm sure we will adore him - look who his mama is!!!

Love this haircut~

Yes. Detest it. By the time the food is home and in the fridge/freezer/larder I have no longer any desire to eat/cook it.

OMG I'm getting all choked up! I'm going to miss him, and knowing that you'll see him makes me feel better, even if it's just for a few hours! For a short time, it'll be like he's not "alone" over there across the world! (Ok, I'm pathetic!)

i'm sure we will adore him - look who his mama is!!!

Thank you for saying that, Brenda. I second that emotion about you, too.

Miss Tiggerwannabe, you home from school yet?

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I'm home now...

What's Up?

I have another weekend of homework, this is Finals week.

I'm lurkin as I'm workin~
