Simon & 101Dalm Fan--Sounds just like our Thanksgiving.........eating too much turkey & pumpkin pie.

Pam,
Did you see the questions about the treats for the trick or treat? Do you want us to make our own treat bags up for the # we bought for or are you doing one big treasure bag????

[dizzi]

HAs anyone eer had any ossues with lost luggage?????

If it all got to the port to be checked in.have you ever not received to your room?

[Babs417]

The only thing I’ve heard people caution against is that you may not receive your luggage before dinner (though I always have). I believe one other person mentioned that their bags had been delivered to the wrong room do to a last minute switch at the terminal but that got sorted out.

Though you’re not flying it’s good for anyone who is to make sure that they arrive at the airport with plenty of time to spare. It’s not only to provide you with enough time to make your flight but also to provide enough time for your luggage to make the trip.

It’s kind of funny to hear about a Navy reunion in Pittsburgh. I realize the city is located on a couple of rivers but I can’t imagine it’s a big “Navy” town. They should be coming to you in Jersey.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to our Canadian Friendsis it today

Canadian Thanksgiving is the second Monday in October!

(Didn't I post that already, a couple of pages back? Or am I losing my mind?? I vote on the latter .... )

 

[101DalmFan]

The only thing I’ve heard people caution against is that you may not receive your luggage before dinner (though I always have).

Our tablemates last year didn't get their luggage until after dinner. They had a stateroom on Deck one, so perhaps they start delivering the luggage from the top and sometimes it takes them a while to work their way down????

 

[tsoccer5]

My soccer team is still undefeated! We play the hardest team tomorrow night and I can not be there...
but that is ok as I will be a some of our best friends house welcoming home the two children that they are adopting from Liberia! =-)!!!
It has been a long 14+ mnths and they have two children here who have missed mommy and daddy these past two weeks, but there now family of 6 will be together early Friday morning!

I hope to start the preliminary packing next Monday! I need to clear out space in our closet this weekend for the bags =-).
It seems like we are almost there!!!

Happy Wednesday!!! I made it to the gym this am and at least 5lbs WILL Leave before you all see me in a swim suit =-)

Sorry to be a bystander but I am still following along and looking forward to meeting you all

Trish

recieved this e mail today
BORN BEFORE 1986?

According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were
kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't have survived,
because our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based
paint which was promptly chewed and licked.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, or latches on doors or
cabinets and it was fine to play with pans.
When we rode our bikes, we wore no helmets, just flip-flops and
fluorescent 'spokey dokey's' on our wheels.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or airbags and
riding in the passenger seat was a treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle and it tasted
the same.
We ate chips, bread and butter pudding and drank fizzy juice with sugar
in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside
playing.

We shared one drink with four friends, from one bottle or can and no-one
actually died from this.
We would spend hours building go-carts out of scraps and then went top
speed down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After
running into stinging nettles a few times, we learned to solve the
problem.

We would leave home in the morning and could play all day, as long as we
were back before it got dark. No one was able to reach us and no one
minded.

We did not have Play stations or X-Boxes, no video games at all. No 99
channels on TV, no videotape movies, no surround sound, no mobile
phones, no personal computers, no DVDs, no Internet chat rooms.

We had friends - we went outside and found them. We played elastics and
rounders, and sometimes that ball really hurt!&n bsp; We fell out of
trees, got cut, and broke bones but there were no law suits. We had full
on fist fights but no prosecution followed from other parents.

We played knock-the-door-run-away and were actually afraid of the owners
catching us.
We walked to friends' homes.
We also, believe it or not, WALKED to school; we didn't rely on mummy or
daddy to drive us to school, which was just round the corner.

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls. We rode bikes in packs
of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood. The idea of a parent bailing
us out if we broke a law was unheard of...they actually sided with the
law.

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem
solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion
of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how
to deal with it all. And you're one of them. Congratulations!

Pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow as real kids,
before lawyers and government regulated our lives, for our own good. For
those of you who aren't old enough, thought you might like to read about
us.

This my friends, is surprisingly frightening......and it might put a
smile on your face:

The majority of students in universities today were born in
1986........they are called youth. They have never heard of We are the
World, We are the children, and the Uptown Girl they know is by Westlife
not Billy Joel. They have never heard of Rick Astley, Bananarama, Nena
Cherry or Belinda Carlisle.

For them, there has always been only one Germany and one Vietnam.
AIDS has existed since they were born.
CD's have existed since they were born.
Michael Jackson has always been white.
To them John Travolta has always been round in shape and they can't
imagine how this fat guy could be a god of dance.
They believe that Charlie's Angels and Mission Impossible are films from
last year.
They can never imagine life before computers.
They'll never have pretended to be the A-Team, the Dukes of Hazard or
the Famous Five.
They can't believe a black and white television ever existed. And they
will never understand how we could leave the house without a mobile
phone. Now let's check if we're getting old...


1. You understand what was written above and you smile.
2. You need to sleep more, usually until the afternoon, after a
Night out.
3. Your friends are getting married/already married
4. You are always surprised to see small children playing
comfortably with computers.
5. When you see children with mobile phones, you shake your head.

Having read this mail, you are thinking of forwarding it to some
Other friends because you think they will like it too... Yes, you're
Getting old!!

Early greetings are good! Thanks in advance!!

As far as the "who is RAC" ....... when you go to page one of this discussion and click on the poster's name, you can do a search and see their postings -- that would tell us when they last posted anywhere on the DISboards. UNFORTUNATELY, the darn search engine never works for me, but if someone else has success with it, perhaps they could give it a try? I'm curious too......

doesn't work for me either
good night everyone

 

[gizimoto]

I'm glad I'm not the only one the search engine did not work for!!
I thought it was me that didn't know how to "search!"

 

[PaDisneyCouple]

I was just going through the cruiser list and it seems I am the only unaccompanied male of legal age. Is that good or bad?

I think it will be good. You'll be unique, not just the average cruiser. Kimmielee could be right: perhaps a multi-generation family will be on the cruise.
