October 20th 2007 Western Magic Part 5

[MinnMick01]

It seems to have been a rough afternoon with the kids. Scott and I just locked ourselves in the closet for about 30 minutes. It was the closet that I cleaned earlier. We just had to get away. All 3 kids have ended up crying this afternoon and for stupid reasons. Now Scott is going at it with Kyle. I just want to go run away. Only 7 more days. Keep your fingers crossed.

I will go back and catch up later. I need to try to get the family to eat so I can get little one to bed on time.

We have had beautiful weather the last few days here in western New York (Rochester area). Today was and about 70F. But we are suppose to get isolated showers in the middle of the week. At least it's been staying green around here. Not the flooding Texas has been receiving, not to mention Dean. We got to see the aftermath of Wilma on Grand Caymen and Coz shortly after it struck, a couple months later. Coz was OK but Grand was a mess. Oh well, better than sailing now and hitting the tropical storms and hurricanes.
Some time back we discovered somebody who is on the cruise who is from Liverpool, New York? Is that the case and where in Liverpool? Our daughter and son-in-law use to live there. They are in North Syracuse now.

OK guys forgive me if this has been posted already. I was checking out the NASA and it looks like the shuttle launch has been moved to the 23rd. Kind of disappointed, especially since DH was looking so forward to seeing it. OH well guess we will just have to schedule another trip in 09 now.

Robin, I responded to your PM but it got lost. The DIS is running so slow for me tonight that everything is getting hung up on me.

I'm having the same problem. It's driving me crazy. I think I'm going to give up too. Talk to you tomorrow.

So what is everyone up to this rainy Sunday?

Just finished cleaning up the water in our basement

It's been raining for 2 days and we now have standing water by the house that's leaking in .... so frustrated!

 

[Dyerneeds]

Robin here...

I have to say, I'm getting a little nervous about Hurricane Dean. It looks like it's going to brush GC. I haven't actually seen the projected path yet.

Costa Maya is about 150-200 miles south of Cancun (I think), so if it hits dead on up there, it should not hit Costa Maya. This is what happened when Wilma was stuck over the Yucatan (Cancun/Cozumel) for 3 days. That is when the Magic started going to Costa Maya.

You won't hit both St. Maarten and Costa Maya/Cozumel in the same trip. Too far apart.

As for Nassau, Suz wouldn't mind going their, but a lot of people don't even get off the ship if they're on the Wonder and know it is going there.

If they don't/can't go West, they'd go East. Unless they are trying to out run something. Then who knows.

I wouldn't mind going to Costa Maya then! We're still keeping our fingers crossed that Cozumel and Grand Cayman come out of all of this okay.

We haven't been to Nassau at all... we'd love to go! Though I do feel that after going once we probably won't get off the ship again. I might be wrong though, we're definitely going to take a shorter cruise just to experience it one more time.

I think it's going to be a game of "wait and see" when it comes to where we're going. Will they announce it when we get on the ship? Or will it be told to us beforehand?
