Oct. 15, 2006 (4 nights on the "New" Wonder)

[Sue88]

Very interesting about the breakfast. It is nice that it is offered on the 4 night now.

MMmmmm, I can taste the chocolate already. Thanks Linda! I will be excited to try some really good chocolate! I may have to come to the U.K. to get some more if I become instantly addicted!

 

[MJ5MOUSE]

Hey Linda, You got that backwards. I am the DARK Chocolate Fiend Susan may like chocolate but the dark stuff is MINE.

That is cool about the breakfast.

Hmmm I am dressing as a Piratess, should I try a mustache too

Jen I am going to try to read the threads you recomended when I get time. They sound interesting.

 

[SparKeLLy]

No mustache for this pirate lady!

That's cool about the character breakfast. Not sure we can get up early enough to go to it if it's on our cruise though.

This weekend Jacob and I played the new Game of LIFE Pirates of the Caribbean Edition about 5 times! It's so fun!

What is Twice Charmed?

mmm chocolate! I so hope that the store in "Italy" at Epcot still has the yummy chocolate/yogurt bar I got the last trip, it was delicious.

Thank you Jules and Linda for the sleep tips. I'm going to get some lavender the next time we go shopping and the notebook and pen by the bed is a great idea too as I always think of things that need to be done.

 

[Sue88]

Linda, I may join you and have a nice pirate mustache too! I bought my pirate pants this weekend!
I pretty much like ALL chocolate. Jane has always been a major fan of dark in particular! I would bring you a special treat too Linda but I wouldn't know what it should be . Maybe I will bring something special for Elouise!

Jane- Congrats on the new office! I hope it is in a good location!

 

[Sue88]

I just remebered that in the UK "pants" are underware!!! NO!, I did not buy pirate underware!! I guess I meant to say that I got my pirate trousers!

I know Alie has a special "American" treat planned for our friends from Europe.

Hi All

Sorry havent been about for a couple of days Ian has been working and that has made me not used to him working bank holidays bit it is all extra cash for the cruise ....

Mike I am unsure about booking direct with Dolphon Encounters we did ours woth DCL but I would not think you would have any problems, I am sure you would be able to get a taxi or something to get you there, fingers crossed for you.

I do not know what time we will get to Port Jen as we are doing Disney Treansfers so I would think quite late, it is convenience for us though as there is just the two of us and means we dont need to get a town car etc

I wish you would all not mention the 48 days, I think Ian is going to pee his pants, talking off pants have you bought Pirate knickers Sue

Kelly I do not know Game of Life it sounds like fun, you will have to tell us about it ??

A treat from Alie now you have our curiosity raised - very exciting !!

I must be the only woman I know of who does not go weak over chocolate, I think all our US friends will love our Cadburys, but it serously wouldnt bother me if I never had chocolate again, I must be a bit strange, I must be honest though if I ever have a bit of chocolate Cadburys is the way to go, you will love it ....

Linda no worries about the dvd it will be in the post tomorrow, I got your pm with the address, I hope you enjoy ...

I hope everyone has had a great weekend ! xxxx

 

[saratogagirl]

by the way Linda, if there is going to be a character breakfast which is very exciting, Ian wants to borrow Ellie, as he says more characters will come to us if we have a child, he says he will wave her in the air !!

 

[Lindy Loo]

Hi

Well Elouise wants ALL of us at the character meal, if possible !! She mentioned all our "friends" eating together, and "leading all the pirates!" (The black pencil, can be used by anyone, if you do want a moustache!!) But hey if you and Ian want Elouise, me and Wayne can snooze in .......

Now let me get this right.... MJ Dark chocolate, Sue, any type? ( ) Jules, not bothered!???? Wish I wasnt bothered I could be sooooooooooooooo thin, if Cadburys werent invented!

Now Allie has a treat for us ??? wow Jules are you excited ? I am hope its nice .................. not walking the plank or anything......

Love the new pirate pants..... Yep they are our "knickers"!

In 3 weekends we go to London for the weekend. Sue it is you that collects pressed coins isnt it ? Im going to have a look arouond Buckingham Palalce and other tourist sites for you.

Off for a nice long soak in the bath, then go to sleep and make that only 47 days !!!

 

[Lindy Loo]

Bump cos we are on page TWO!!!!



Take care all, the bombs in Turkey make me wonder what on earth this world is coming to.

 

[saratogagirl]

I am very excited about Allies suprose, I too hope we don't have to walk the plank !

We have been discussing the bombings at work this morning, it seems to be a mad world that we are living in - very scary !!!

47 days isn't it exciting xx

 

[SparKeLLy]

Here's the original Game of Life
Get a job! Get married! Start a family! It's all the fun of satisfying the demands in a great family board game! Spin the wheel and live out your life in the Game of Life! A family classic for more than 30 years. Do good deeds to earn Life Tiles and more money down the road!

Here is the Pirates version front back
Choose a captain to guide your pirate ship through the high seas. Visit ports, fight off cannibals and collect loot while avoiding Davey Jones and his Kraken. Be the player with the most treasure at the end and you win!

I haven't even heard about the bombings. The news has been much too depressing and scary lately.

47 days is exciting!

Jen sorry I missed your question the other day. We are planning to arrive at port at 11:30 - Noon

 

[Sue88]

I want to play that! The pirate version does look fun!

I haven't heard about that either and I even watched the news before I came to work this morning.

I am curious about the suprise that Alie has for Linda and Jules. I don't think that she would make you walk the plank but if she did that WOULD be a big suprise!!

 

[saratogagirl]

Kelly I remember that game now, I had it when I was a kid, I had forgotten all about it, the Pirates version sounds like fun !!

I hope it isn't walking the plank Sue - the rest of you may enjoy watching that though LOL x

 

[Sue88]

I am not too worried about walking the plank but I am a bit concerned about the kraken! You never know when a giant sea squid will come snarking up under our ship.


Tomorrow is my 15th wedding anniversary! Alas, I do not have the day off from work. There is a small chance that we will go out to eat after work.

 

[Lindy Loo]

Happy Aniversary Sue 15 years.... wow in the Uk, you would get less for murder .... only kidding!! Congratulations.

We will aim to get to the port at about 10.30 11 ish.
Not sure how long to leave from Windsor Palms ( by AK) to get to the port. We might get lost too ! we will leave early, cos i will panic we might miss the boat!

The game looks fun Kelly, sure we had one similar (not the pirate one though)

Jules do you remember Pop up pirate ???? It s a game with a pirate in a barrel. You take it in turns to stick a dagger in the barrel, when he pops up ( and I mean POPS UP!, it hit me in the eye once) you loose. A GREAT drinking game! IF I had more room, I would pack it for pirates night for the table, but instead I have MJs chocolate!!

SUE................ PRESSED PENNY ALERT!

I have a little pressed penny for you from Legoland in Windsor. We had great fun doing it. We even cleaned the penny for you, so it sparkles! Elouise wants to give it to you on pirates night, as treasure.............. hope this is OK? IF we forget in the excitement, PLEASE PLEASe ask us for it, before we all leave the boat. I KNOW I will pack it as it is stuck to MJs chocolate............... which I CANT forget!

Im getting so excited !
Cant wait to meet you all soon. I really think one of the best parts of the cruise will be sharing it with you guys.

night night, its neary 1am here!

 

[saratogagirl]

I remember Pop Up Pirate it was great fin, I imagine it would be a brill drinking game

What on earth were you doing p at 1.00am, I struggled to stay awake to watch SuperNanny last night, did you watch - the parents were more horrific than the kids .....

Happy Anniversary Sue - Congratulations - Have a lovely Day

 

[Lindy Loo]

Yer we watched Supper Nanny too............... Elouise loves this,she watched Nanny 911 when on holiday last year!
The parents were terrible, but the kids were sooooo rude and fighting etc, I think I might have sworn at them too!
When shes naughty sometimes, she sits herself on the naughty step!
Ive even warned her,on holiday I will find a naughty spot, as she is getting to clever for her own good, saying " in America you wont be able to put me on the naugthy step!!"

Elouise is such a night bird, she was up till midnight! She is going to have such a tough time in 2 weeks, when she has to be up at 8 for school. Her school starts at 8.45, and we are planning to walk ( its easier and quicker walking the 5/10 minutes, than trying to find a parking space, near the school)

Hope they increase the size of hand luggage soon, our camera bag is 1/2 inch too deep, and im worried about risking it. Ive put a question on the UK section here, asking recent traveller about how tight they are and if they actually measure the bags. Im being tight and dont want to buy another camera bag, but dont want to get it refused when at Gatwick.

Have a great day all. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[saratogagirl]

Please all excuse me, but I have the excitment about me big time today, not sure why today more than yesterday, but I need to dance

 

[Sue88]

No problem Jules, everyone should have the freedom to dance!

Thanks for the Anniversary wishes. It helped the day seem a little more special while I am sitting here at work! It is such a nice day outside too, which makes me want to go out and do something fun.

Linda and Elouise - Thank you for the penny!!!!!! I am very excited to get one from such a cool place!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank Youuuuuuu!
