Thank you all for the FE exchange!!! Our DD was so excited to come back to the room and look through the goodies!! We started a list, but it didn't last, she'd grab before we could names down!!! My intent was to write t.u. notes, but this did not happen!! Thank you for making this a fun 1st FE experience for our family!! We're booked for the 11 day Med in August 2010!!

Thank you all again!!

Hi there Kristin,

Your so right there, Yes we are very excited about re-booking the the Transatlantic for 2010 (that helps alot with coming home). Did you rebook anything? I know you have one for next year, but how about the transtlantic? I know Gina and Alec did and I think (with a little work) we could talk Erika and Steve into it. (What d''ya think Erika if your out there).

I would love to do the Transalantic trying to convice Bruce that it will be ok to pull the kids out of school for two weeks. We do have our Aug. 09 trip booked and we did book a "dummy date for 2010.. So we will see maybe we can join you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perfect! A dummy date works well, ( that was our plan if we didn't book the transatlantic).
Your kids are still very young and there is nothing that important they will miss in school. Plus as everyy teacher has told over the last 5 years of pulling Maggie out is that they will learn more on vacation than they could ever learn in a classroom.
Good luck working on Bruce. It would be great if you too could join us on that cruise. 14 days of Magic,,,,,
Should we twist your arms?????

Hey Alex, looking forward to that cruise!! I already checked out the thread, lol. Hey if Kristin and Bruce come and we convince a few others, come on Erika, its only 2 weeks!!!! we could have a Parrothead part 2!!!!!

Randy here!!!!

Oh no!!! It looks like we booked the wrong transatlantic. We opted for the westbound in September. The April cruise is too close to the end of school for Meagan. Oh well, You all can take her away and we'll bring her back!!!!

We would love to do a Parrothead Part 2!!!! SHOOT...no way in April though.

Hi Everyone...

Sorry I have not been able to get on here until today. I have been kept busy here at moms. Not to mention that Christopher and myself have had that horrible sore throat and cough since we got off the ship.

I am still here in Cocoa...as you most may know from mom. So I do not have anything unpacked or washed at all. I will do that when I get back home on Thursday (well maybe not...cause I have to get the house packed up for the big move).

We had some major happenings here last night. We were here at the trailor when we heard this HUGE noise...(we were afraid that something fell on Chris because he was running back and forth in the house from Jenny to myself) and when we looked outside a Truck had run into the side of moms trailor!!! As we looked out, we saw a guy beating another guy up while in our Yard!! So I grabbed moms phone and called 911. Short story long...After about 12 Police cars arrived..The one guy was driving his truck and some other guy jumped into this guys truck and started beating him up (causing him to run into moms trailor!) and then the guy that had jumped into the truck to beat the other guy up- took off around the trailor park to hide. Thankfully the police dog found the guy and tore him up!! But anyhoo it shook us all up. Thankfully there isnt too much damage to moms trailor (thank goodness there was a tree that had slowed the truck down a little bit or else I would hate to think what would have happened...because that was right where Chris was running back and forth from!) So anyhoo that was our eventful day yesterday.

We were going to rebook a 2010 cruise while onboard and we got the quote and everything but we just couldnt push ourselves to spend that much money for a Disney cruise...so we are looking at other options for sailing. We did however rebook a 4 day Wonder Cruise for February for Christopher, My mom, My sister and myself since Mike will be starting Tax season. So I am excited about that!! It will break up the time till the May cruise!

I loved meeting everyone on the cruise..I miss the ship so much already but I know that there is plenty for us to do to keep us busy until we are back onboard

Im off for now.

Hello Everyone!!

Re-entry is HORRIBLE, isn't it?? I asked Connor what he wanted for breakfast this morning, he told me Mickey waffles, doughnuts, hashbrowns and bacon. I said, Ah, welcome to reality! will toaster strudel do? LOL The little ones I babysit have been with family all week, so they are SPOILED and need some decompressing! LOL We'll make it!

I haven't gone back to read the past pages....I might try later....but we too would like to thank everyone for the FE gifts! How fun is that?! we all loved getting back to the room and seeing what was there!

we too, rebooked. we booked the 5 night Wonder, May 30, 2010. It's a double dip at Castaway Cay and a day at Nassau and a sea day. we are pretty sure at this point we will keep it, BUT we might trade it for a 2011 date on the new ship...we'll see.

Yesterday was one LONG day! we were up at 3am, off to the airport and was on land again at 830. Stopped for breakfast and then home to start wash, put stuff away, take a shower, get groceries, get the dogs, get Colton's glasses fixed, buy the boys LONG pants! LOL make dinner, more wash, and just get all that "stuff" done after coming home!

As some of you know, Colton lost his prescription sunglasses somewhere on board. THANKFULLY, they turned up at lost and found a few days later. Well at Universal, as we were getting off of Men In Black, Steve realized his $200 Maui Jim's were missing! THANKFULLY, at 8pm someone called to say they were found! Sheesh! Colton some how bent his regular glasses in St Maarten, so we had to get them fixed yesterday. I had to get a repair kit for MY sunglasses when we stopped for a case of water because I had lost a nose pad! This wax our trip for glasses issues.

It was so WONDERFUL to get to meet everyone! Now when I read your post, I hear your voice, accents and inflections! I wish we could all book the same cruise again!!!
