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!!!

I feel the same way about meeting everyone!!!!!!!! now I know what you all sound like LOL
glad everything worked out with your glasses!! sheesh

She and I are both sick also. Cough and sorethroat just like Shauna and Chris. Hey Shauna, any ideas how we got this?!?! We are both going to the doctor tomorrow.

Hey Denis, after church yesterday and I went to the grocery. We had nothing in the house. I bought Spam. It will probably be the weekend for we can try it though. I don't like eggs. Heidi told me something to make to go with the Spam, but I can't remember what she said. Do you remember Shauna?

Gail---Hmm I wonder if it had anything to do with Pirate Night Part

I think she also mentioned it with Hash browns as well...If I can remember correctly.

I miss everyone...Gail I forgot to mention that when Chris awoke from his nap that night that we left, I told him that you kissed him and told him goodbye and so did Merkie and he smiled a HUGE smile and was so excited that you said goodbye to him while he was asleep.

Well Ive been turned into a morning person (well not totally) but more of a morning person than I was. Since I woke myself up each morning on the ship at 9:30am to get in as much each day as I could. So now I am tired at midnight and today was awake at 9am. So I am off to bed now as well. G'Night friends

RISE AND SHINE PARROTHEADS!!!

It's Tuesday, and you know what that means!! Not a dad-gum thing!!

Ugh, am I tired this morning! I just can't get back into our routine! Hopefully, by the end of the week......

Like Shauna, my schedule is out of whack. On board, we were ALL staying up past Midnight....which is unheard of for me, and sleeping in, which we loved. Now, the alarm clock is annoying at 545!!! Yesterday, I glanced at my watch, thinking it had to be close to 11, it was only 855!!! UGH! The day just dragged on......

Back to the grind........

Are you talking 2010? That's the one I looked at last night. That will give us two years to financially recuperate from this October's cruise!

Now I just have to convince the hubby...DD12 is ready to pack her bags!

I'm missing the antibacterial wipes that were handed out everywhere--esp. when I walk into my messy kitchen!

Too funny Michele, I too am so tired, it will take a good week to get back into it!! YAWN............

I would look into that one. Just nervous since that one is right after dry-dock and all!!!!!!

I would be afraid of that too, after what I saw the last time.


Did I mention I miss you all!!!

 

[elgerber]

We are really tired too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not sure how long it's going to take to recover. But I don't care, it's totally worth it!

LOL about the wipes!!!!!!

yes it's for 2010....I think a western would be nice to do !! my DH was the one who wanted to go back!! I didn't even have to talk him into it LOL

why would you be nervous?? others have done a cruise right after it and said it was fine?? I'm sure there would still be work going on after the drydock, but there was work being done on ours too!!!!!!!!!!

Check out the thread that was posted from the cruise after dry-dock the pool were green and there was a lot of complaining going on I will look for the thread!!!!!!!!!!

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

wasn't that cruise a last minute deal? Didn't it come out of dry dock early? I would think that if they were on schedule to come out of dry dock, then it should be absolutely perfect. I think they "thought" they were going to be ready, threw that cruise out there, then they weren't ready. I think you would be fine to book a cruise right after dry drock...especially one this far out. If it was another last minute ditch by Disney to add another cruise coming out of dry dock early, then I would be worried.

I am sitting here looking at my lunch....a Banquet microwave meal of turkey, peas and instant potatoes. Can I tell you just how UNAppetizing it looks?? Oh, I would love a panini and some cucumber salad, thank you very much!! I love to be spoiled on the cruise!!!!!! OH well, back to reality......

 

[elgerber]

I think this after drydock cruise was extra messy, but I have heard that just about every cruise right after drydock usually still has some work going on.

I have no idea when we will go again, it might not be till 2011, but I really wish it would work out sooner and I really wish I was there right now!!!!!!!!!!!

Kristin did you find your keys?
