October 27, 2007 - Cruising around the Moon - A Magical All Hallows Eve

Didnt anybody like that KimSue didnt you like that is everybody sleeping?

Huh???? Sorry I don't understand.

Sure I am game for shirts, the disney cruise I was on last October had shirts made, they where really nice. We didn't get one because of the price conversion, shipping etc it was about $120 for 4 shirts I knew DH and DS would never wear again so we just got plain lime green, but I am game for whatever everyone else chooses....

PJ, do you have the live feeds for big brother??? I think it is going to be a interesting season.....

Kim Im sorry KimSue is my DD.I thought she would reply.I also stay up late . I thought we could wear green and maybe orange bracelets. The last cruise everyone had green on.

 

[Hockeychic]

Sure, whatever everyone decides is good for us. I think I still have my mickey braclet that one of the families gave out last year.

Can't wait to go.....can I make Palo ressies yet?

I'm open to anything.... the t-shirts sound nice but extremely high priced.... that was $30 a shirt if I am doing the math right... hold on, let me take off my shoes to count... yup, that's expensive!

I think I could find a shirt company to do them for much less.... if we could do T-shirts for around $10-$15 would anyone be interested? Edited to add: After posting this I went on line, found a custom T-shirt place that has a wide variety of sizes and put on the front of a LIME green shirt "The Official DIS Cruisers Haunted Halloween Cruise October 27, 2007 and you would not believe the price... it was less than $8 for shipping and everything. That was for 35 shirts.... I'm sure the price goes up with less shirts... I could send out the shirts once I get them through work... .. I think we could do this. Now, the wording... that was just off the top of my head. We could have names on the back of the shirts too... that's another $4.50 each... but not sure how we all feel about names, etc. So... let's talk!!

Well, our fallen soldier was buried yesterday. You couldn't even drive through town with a dry eye. There were almost 200 Patriot Riders and no one was protesting. The PR's each had a full size American flag and dismounted their bikes, stood shoulder to shoulder, lining the road leading to the high school and the high school parking lot. Over 1200 mourners came to pay their respects. I found it especially hard talking to my Brother after (he called me) because he kept saying "It could have been Kevin, it could have been Kevin"... his son, my nephew, that spent 8 months in Iraq last year.

The uncle of our fallen soldier is a local deputy and I don't know if they would have done this if there wasn't a police connection... but they closed both sides of I-75 down for the funeral procession to go to another town. It was about a 18 mile drive. All the on/off ramps were blocked by a police car and each police officer was saluting as the cars went by.

I can't describe this without tears rolling down my face... I wasn't even there. This is coming from my Brother and my niece. Imagine seeing it.

On a happier note .... I'm torn about taking DS (6) to see POC. Some have taken their younger children and are ok, others have seen it and said no way. He LOVED the first one, watches Spiderman, Star Wars, etc... If I'm there and need to block his eyes... that should be ok don't you think?

Our TA found us a great price on the RCCL Freedom of the Seas for our girl trip next April.... We will probably book that at the end of this month! Great ports!

Otherwise, for me... this weekend is about rest and cleaning.... Ladies, have a wonderful, relaxing weekend! I'm sure I'll pop on every now and then...

Good Morning. It was pretty expensive but that included converting to US funds and shipping to Canada......I am in for whatever, but not sure I want my daugthers name on her shirt but wouldn't care if mine was on there. I now regret not getting at least one of the shirts, that would have been pretty cheap but when buying for 4.....yikes.....this time there is only the 2 of us.

What one of the families did last year was make up name tags for all the adults...using there screen names.....it was fun and helped put faces to the names.

Glad to hear the funeral didn't have any protests, my DS just turned 17 and it terrifies me that some of the kids over there fighting and giving the ultimate sacrifice are not much older then him.

I am going on Carnival Miracle in October of this year and we picked it also for the ports, and my first balcony

Not sure what I am doing this weekend, really don't feel like doing anything DS is at drivers training, DH is sealing the drive way and I have no idea what DD is doing....she is still sleeping.... SO maybe I will just chill today and work on my packing list....not that I haven't been working on it since I booked last November

Oh well, have a great weekend all, I am sure I will be back later.

Kim2 I think the names on the shirts is probably an added expense that we don't need. I really like the idea of the name tags with our screen names!

Have fun with your first balcony.... (or as I call them verandah... dahling...) I've never cruised without one.... thought I would be seasick and want the fresh air... now I realize it's just cuz I'm spoiled!

My very first cruise was the Carnival Glory and I loved every minute of it!

I've been lazy today... one load of laundry washed, not yet in the dryer and I threw all the paper stuff laying about in the kitchen but didn't do the dishes... what's wrong with me?

How is this for a design for our t-shirt?

Link to our T-Shirt design #1

I need to tweak the spacing, etc... but you get the general idea... as shown, if we order 35, it's only about all the shirts are between $7 and $10 a shirt to get them all sent to me, then postage to you guys but I can't imagine that's too expensive....

The site is customink.com. Anyone with a creative bone, have at it! I'm not the most creative person!

Ok, I'm bored... here are a few more.... if you double click on the shirt it makes it larger and gives you an option to zoom....

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to post and report that we are not going to be able to go on this sailing. I have taken a job at the one of the local middle schools and I am starting at the begining of the year.

I really hate that we are not going to be able to go, especially after seeing the neat shirts you all are doing.

I hope you all have a great time planning and preparing.

Here it is again... got lost on another page!

 

[pjpoohbear]

Was this where the topic of Orange and Green shirts came in? I saw that but thought it was for the 2006 cruise, lol.

[pjpoohbear]

I like the 4th design, but maybe with the front a small over the left chest version of what is already done for the front?

You mean like this?

This is somewhat a result of the green/orange conversation... and I've seen some shirts on other meet threads so I thought I'd give it a try!

 

[pjpoohbear]

Very cool, another option.

Shirts all look great....Can't wait.

Thanks! Perhaps someone will come up with something different! Not like we don't have a lot of time to decide.

Hey, did you notice the new ticker in my signature? We booked Freedom of the Seas for our "Girls Cruise" next year.
