8 inches of snow - gosh Sue, you will need to wrap up warmly, we moan here if er get 2 inches. I will be Christmas shopping over the weekend, Ian and I are going to Cardiff, we are going to catch the bus, so that we can also have anice meal and a drink.

Watch out for that snow !! love Jules xx

Shopping and out to dinner sounds wonderful! I wish my hubby would want to do that too. Of course I would also love to go to Cardiff. I desperately want to travel around the world. I would love to come to the UK while England hosts the Olympics. I imagine it would be so crowded to see any tourists sites then though. Are you very far from the ocean? It is nice that you don't as much snow. Last year we got very little but it varies a lot. Let me know how the shopping went and what you have to eat too.
Love & Hugs,
Sue

Jules, the shopping sounds fun. I have no fun plans for the weekend but at least I don't have snow either

I finished my trip report so I guess I will now link up all my photos for you all to brouse. I hope you don't mind Linda and Kelly, but I stole a couple of your photos. I just copied them from your posts and saved them on the photobucket sight I really liked some of your shots and want to print them out to add to my album (when I get time to make one). If everyone else has any to add I may steal some of yours too.

Enjoy!!! And help yourself if you want to steal one.

Hi everyone! I just thought I would check in on a weekend.

Jules, I hope you are out having a spectacular day. Or, maybe you are already back home! I am not good at figuring the time difference.

Jane, I enjoyed your photos. You took a lot that I didn't get so it was very nice to see them. Tell Ron that I read the Hobbit!

Love,
Sue

Hi Everyone!!

Hope you are all are doing well. It's such a busy time of year. Don't forget to take a break and enjoy the reason for the season.
Guess where I was last week? Disney World!!! Lindsey's school had a field trip starting the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Can I just tell you how tired I am......
It was great being back in the Magic!! I had a blast at WDW. The new roller coaster in AK is the bomb!!! Have ya'll ridden it? I loved the Soarin' ride at Epcot too. I now need a vacation from my vacations!! hehe

Kelly- what's the name of your report? I can't wait to read it. I don't know if I will ever get finished with mine.

Will all of you PM me with your addresses? I would love to drop you a note.

Happy Holidays everyone!!
Belinda

 

[Sue88]

Hi Belinda!
Glad you got to enjoy some Disney magic! I wish I couldve gone on a Disney field trip when I was in school! We could never do anything that fun!

 

[Mdavison]

Linda, We are still alive and well!!! We have had such a hectic schedule since we have gotten back. Nicole has dance classes 3 nights a week, and 1 on Saturday for the Nutcracker that she is performing in. Not to mention Kylie who also dances on Saturday, and with all of the Christmas Parties and everything else going on. It is just so hard to keep up sometimes. We did recieve your card for Thanksgiving, I don't remember if I PM'd you or not, but thank you and the Girls have already made Elouise some cards. We were going to send them to you for Thanksgiving, but then it dawned on us that you don't have a Thanksgiving. No, I did not get your PM that you sent, please send it again if you could, and let Elouise know that the girls have not forgotten about her, how could they!! Let us know how the rest of the family is doing and such. Talk to you soon

Everyone Else:
Happy Holidays, and have a great New Year if we don't chat again.

Already looking forward to next years Cruise!!!!!

Hi Everyone, Hope you are all well. We had a lovely day on Saturday, lots of shopping at The Disney Store and then dinner and drinks in The Hard Rock Cafe. Busy day on Sunday putting up the decorations I always forget how long it takes! Things are pretty quiet here at the moment. Let me know how you are all getting on ...
hugs Jules xx

 

[Sue88]

Jules! I lovvvvvve the card that you sent! It was a very nice suprise when I got home from work yesterday! Thank You!!!!!
Very glad you had a good time shopping! It is so cold here. Some of our snow has melted but we still have about 2 inches on the ground.


Have a good weekend to all who still look at this thread!

 

[saratogagirl]

Hi Sue - I am so pleased that you liked the card, it is a little bit of Wales for you. I posted it two weeks ago tomorow, at the same time I posted a card to New Jersey and that got there by Wednesday of last week, I couldn't beleive that it took only three days to get there. The length of time that it has taken for you to receive yours seems much more realists, I am glad you like it ....

Have a great weekend everyone, though I think there are not many of us left now ...

 

[Sue88]

The post sometimes takes a really long time within the U.S. too. I have sent Jane stuff to Florida before and had it take two weeks. I send my nephew (Janes son) stuff all the way to Guam before and it seemed to take less time.
The Wales card is so cool. I wouldn't be able to find anything so neat from where I live. I will send you a Kansas City postcard!

I think both Linda and Kelly will be posting now on the threads for their NEXT cruises. I don't blame them. It was so much fun to look forward to the trip by chatting.

love,
Sue

 

[MJ5MOUSE]

I don't have a next cruise to chat with either. Well I sort of do. I am supposed to cruise in April on RCCL but I may have to cancel do to lack of $$$$ I have been coresponding with some people on that cruise on the Cruise Critics board but they are not as much fun as everyone here was.

The post can certainly be funny. When Sue sent a package to Tyler in Guam I had sent on "priority" mail a week before and he got Sue's first

Alie and I went to a scrapbook party last Friday and we are thinking of trying to do a digital scrap book of our cruise. Won't that be fun?

Happy Monday everyone

 

[Sue88]

Jane, How is Tyler doing? I sent him a few photos from the cruise. Did you send him some too or are you just going to show him your photos when he gets to Florida for the Holiday? I hope you get to spend some quality time with Ty and Lauren.
What is a digital scrapbook? Can anyone look at it online?

 

[MJ5MOUSE]

Hi Sue,

I think Alie has posted pictures on "My Space" and Janet has hers posted on a "Faces" site, I am not sure of the correct name for that one. But Tyler probably saw Alie's.

Go to this thread and click the link to see tthe scrapbook Alie and I were looking at. It is really good.

Basically digital scrapbooks are created with software such as photoshop and then you can order them printed frm a web sight like Kodak or Shutterfly.

hi everyone. I haven't been to the boards in a couple weeks. Having a bad month. Had to put my dog Scooby to sleep because he got real sick all of a sudden and was dying. I'm still not over this as it's been really hard for me. I've lost my best friend in a way.

Now I'm feeling really sick and not sure what is wrong, and I'm more afraid to go to the doctor and find out and just keep hoping it's something silly and will go away.

Jules we got your card, thank you so much it's so cute we have it on our fridge!

sorry we haven't gotten around to sending any out.

I had started the trip report, got the whole first day done but then that all happened and I haven't been in the mood to do more and it seems silly to post just one day.

I think Linda doesn't like us (Jake & I) I don't think she's said anything to me since we got back and never gave us her address. Everyone else seemed to have got cards from Elouise too but we didn't. That's ok. I'm sure she's busy and Jake and I weren't very fun or exciting for anyone on the cruise.

Hope everyone is doing well and having fun with the holidays.

Kelly

 

[Lindy Loo]

Kelly, I'm sorry to hear about your sad news with Scooby, as you know, we too have a Keeshond, and they are such a beautiful, gentle bread. My heart goes out to you, as I know I would be so very very sad, if Jazz had to be put to sleep. Im sure this wont help now, however in time I hope you get some relief from realising you did the best thing, in taking the pain away for him.

It was not intentional that I didnt give you my address, I will PM it to you in a minute. I feel awkard, explaining ( though I feel it necessary) why Elouise wrote to other cruisers. Those people that received hand written notes, received them as they were particularly kind or generous ( or both!) to her. We appreciated the pirate tattoos you passed out on the table, and we thanked you accordingly. I pride myself on my manners, and my daughters. Sorry if any of my actions upset you.

Although, of course I have been on the next cruise meet thread, please dont think that I will forget any of you. You all added a special something to our first ever Disney cruise, and I thank you for that !

 

[saratogagirl]

Hi Everyone

Kelly I am so sorry to hear about Scooby as an animal lover and pet owner, I can apprecaite what you must be going through, it must have been a ver bad time for you.

As for feeling ill, you really must go to the Doctor, and get yourself sorted out, as you have been so upset perhaps you are generally run down.

I can tell from the tone of your post that you are feeling very down at the moment, and I do so hope that you start to feel better soon.

As for not being fun and exciting on the Cruise, I am sure that we all appreciate that this was your Honeymoon and that Jake and you would have wanted to spend as much time alone as possible, thats what Honeymooning is all about.

I hope you feel better soon.

 

[Sue88]

Hi everyone!

I am also sorry to hear about Scooby. That sort of thing can really upset your life. I still love and miss the dog I had when I was a teenager. Very sad. Also, Kelly, I totally understand about the not going to the doctor thing. I am that way too. I tend to not want to know if something is wrong. I do know that a lot of times when my friends have feared that they had a major illness, most of the time it was not nearly as serious as they were thinking. I hope that is the case with you and that you will be feeling much better soon. Please let us know how you are doing.
We were all really glad that you and Jake were our table mates! Even though you were a bit shy on the cruise we did get to know you on this board and we know we like you! You are a princess! Here is some magic for you.

 

[SparKeLLy]

Linda I'm sorry I wasn't upset with you or thinking you had poor manners at all. I'm sorry I came off so awful yesterday, was at a very low point in my day. I had been feeling like maybe Jake and I had offended someone in your family as I found it odd that you hadn't said anything in response to things I said or asked and I knew others had got cards too - just thought regular cards didn't know they were special thank yous for gifts...and then chose a very bad moment and the very wrong way to say things...not that I should have even brought any of it up in the first place. I wish we had thought to get something special for Elouise and everyone in fact or had more time to spend with all. We were a bit embarrassed with our silly little tattoos and cow pies after everyone else brought such nice gifts. I apologize. I was really unprepared for everything.

Thank you all for your kind words. though now I'm feeling like a big whiney baby and am regretting that post yesterday very very much.

Kelly
