Sending some pixie dust your way... How scary! Make sure you get those documents!! I am not too sure yet how it all works,but I think we get a list of names who are playing and stateroom #'s..Then as you get tagged you go leave something on the next stateroom # on your list? Kevin will explain this all to us at the meet. I think you bring small things to leave that my represent your hometown or what you like ect...Like Postcards,stickers,Birthday or Anniversay cards for people celebrating those type things??? 
I am keeping it simple!
I've lifted up prayers for you and all of those along the gulf coast that are in harm's way from Rita, and will continue to do so until Rita is no more.
I second the motion!
That date should give folks plenty of time to decide if they wish to participate, while allowing all of us a little time with the final number known to complete our own preparations. (That should read "start preparations" in my case... 
)
Yes, Kevin, I used Shirley's services for our last cruise. I went all out...When we walked into our stateroom, there were four baskets, one for my wife, and one each for my children. They loved them! Shirley and company did a great job putting them together. (I called a couple of weeks before the cruise and we discussed the items that would go in each basket.) I probably won't repeat that this time...Four baskets gets kind of expensive! But I thought it was a nice way to start out our first cruise. Plus, the three "baskets" for the children were actually sand pails, which they later used on Castaway Cay.
stay safe.
Makes thinks kinda interesting. Between football 4 nights a week, 2 nights ballet/tap, church club, choir practice, etc. I can't wait for vacation! My husband does maintenance, helps out with catering, does a little investing. He basically does everything. He is a Navy Reservist and our oldest son just started the Navy League Cadet Corp. (He wants to be a Navy Seal). My husband is 1/2 Italian & we LOVE to cook interesting & yummy Italian food. Or I do at least, Mark just like's to eat it. We both have a good sense of humor, in fact that is what I love most about my husband. Although, he has a tendency to "open mouth, insert foot." 
She is 7 years old and a handful!! Gary works in Commercial Construction and is a Team roper and competes in local and some National sanctioned Rodeos. I have a Barrel Racing Horse and so we spent most of our married lives riding and hauling to different events. Then after 10 years of marriage Gary lost his mind!!!! (midlife crisis) He left us with no warning!!! I did not think I was going to make it,but I did and was able to keep our farm and it made me a stronger person. I went back to work Full time at Washington University Medical school where I had worked Part time after having Josie. Gary did not forget about us completely atleast...He always supported us and helped out...It was a very hard time in my life!!! Well thinks quickly fell apart in his life and he has finally realized how important his family is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have been apart 3 years (Divorced 2) and we have both realized that we are unhappy without each other! So we have found a way to put our lives back together.....We are in counseling and things are going very well..He is doing everything he needs to do without having to tell him...he is making huge steps to fix our family and I also am working on things I need to do. Anyway Josie is very happy and so am I. Of course my family and friends are Cautious (so am I)...I love him and I have to try...The Counselor thinks this trip will be good for all of us and so he is going with us. He would kill me if he knew I was telling you guys all of this!! 
Hopefully a new beginning for the rest of our lives!! So wierd cause we had a 7 day Western DCL trip booked for Jan 2003 and he left us in Sept of 2002....Now we have come full circle and we are back going on a DCL 7 night trip.
Be sure to check in when you return. Of course, we'll be bouncing off the walls.

That's o.k. my family is the greatest blessing in my life regardless of the order in which they were achieved. I am orignally Canadian (born in Montreal) then moved to Florida when my parents retired. I Spent 6-7 years there, and went to the University of Florida with many a college trip to Disney world which was only about ah hour away. Shortly after getting my degree (in child psychology) I moved to Colorado where I have lived ever since, and love it! My Favorite past-times are skiing, camping, & SCRAPBOOKING MANIAC. I am self employed as a day care provider and am in definate need of a vacation.!!! He also loves watching Science fiction...go figure... and skiing. He's not to much of a sports fan other than the above 2 mentioned though. Guess it's the musician in him. And our two girls....well they're kids....they love everything.....or they don't...depending on the day. They both really love gymnastics and skiing, and the older one likes to scrapbook with Mom. 
aw: . We have been married 5 yrs as of Friday (Sept 23rd) - damn, feels like 30 yrs.... ....anyways, we met in 1998 in a movie chatroom, yep we are an internet couple. He lived in Jax, FL and I was in Buffalo,NY - we chatted alot, then phoned eachother ALOT and once we met, it was like we knew eachother FOREVER!! I moved to Jax for 15 months, then he was so wonderful and brought me HOME. A girl is lonely without her best friend and mom.....We purchased our home in May 2003 and have been working on it ever since, hopefully it will be done soon Since David won't let me get another dog, I guess we are gonna start thinking about extending our family to include a grandchild for my mom - she has soo much love to give and well, Molson is to big to cuddle...hehehehe
