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

[rer1972]

Good Morning all! Hope everything is going good with you. I started my workout program last night by doing the body sculpting part. Pisses me off because I used to be able to do 20 push-ups with no problem and now I can barely do 10. AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! But, alas, I'm on my way! Today we start a "water challenge" drinking our 8 glasses of water. If y'all only knew how much I despise the stuff unless I'm swimming in it. When I lose the weight again, I will never ever go back. It's just too hard to lose it again!

Chris, have you gotten your DVD yet? I have no idea how long it takes to get there.

Welcome to all the new folks joining on our adventure! We are going to have so much fun we wont be able to stand ourselves!

No kidding about losing the weight. Can you use those flavorings in the water (from crystal light and koolaid)? I use the walmart brand cherry limeaid and lemonaid (sugarfree of course).

Pam Welcome. How did you lose ypur weight becides swet tears & trainer. I would like to lose 25. I keep trying but no luck.

Ok, Mel (is it ok to call you Mel?)

Are you transferring from WDW to PC? If so, I have no clue how it works on Saturdays for the Magic, lol.

Are you transferring from MCO to PC on the day of the cruise? Then it is easy and you can arrive at the port as early as 10:45 or so. The first bus leave MCO around 9:30 am.

I was suppose to do a WDW to PC to MCO this last cruise, but was offered a ride in a rental car, then they ditched the car to take a ride in the hummerzine, so I hopped on the hummerzine too.

Pj

PJ we will be transferring from WDW to Port. I am starting to rethink the transfers because of the late arrival to port that we had this last time. We might have to do a town car or something. Will Disney let me cancel the transfers if I decide to?

Also, I prefer Melanie....I hate saying that but Mel always makes me think of Mel from Mel's diner on Alice.

Welcome to all the new sailers that have signed on....woo hoo we are going to have a great group.

I am doing Weight Watchers & have been for a year. I have lost almost 50lbs & hope to keep on going so I know where ya'll are coming from with the weight loss thing.

Babs, I just began to eat healthy. NO SUGAR,ENRICHED FLOUR(white),SALT, NO PARTIALLYHYDROGANATED WHATCHAMACALITS... as Little PROCESSED foods as possible. I also joined a health website which tracks my food intake and helps with nutrition, exercise,and support

Just eat good food, fresh and yummy!!! I do use Splenda for deserts. I also work out with a trainer 2 x per week and do at least a 30 minute walk everyday if not some other sort of exercise. I also drink over 100 ounces of water a day. My trainer says it is ok to use the flavored water powders ( crystal light) as long as it is for only half of your water consumption. ( really because of the concern of the use of splenda,sweet n low etc...)

Good luck to you!!! I have not lost the entire 100 pounds yet but am using the cruise as my encouragement, motivator, and WHOO HOO you did it reward !!!

That's great about the weather! I was wondering about Castaway Cay since it's closer to the US.
I'm a MSU Bulldog! I won't bring my cowbell if you won't do pig soie! Deal?

To Vital from earlier post:
"I have about 100 questions for you!
First, how was the weather on the cruise? Is it warm on Castaway Cay?
Second, are you a razorback?
Third, just kidding. I think those are the most important questions for now!"

Our weather for the Halloween 2006 cruise was near perfect. Warm enough at sail away for swimming, little rain on one of the sea days but not long enough to disrupt anything, hot hot hot and sunny in both St Thomas and St Maarten and coolish morning but great afternoon at Castaway Key. The water at Castaway Key was cool when you first got in, but once you'd been in a while it was fine.

Am I a Razorback???? ABSOLUTELY-They'll tar and feather you if you live in AR and don't worship the Hogs!

We are really looking forward to the cruise!

And to Kimmielee-Yes, family will be accompanying me (DH and DD who will be 7 when we cruise). Thanks for adding us to the list.

Melanie,

On the "Mel" that is what I thinking the objections might be, lol. I cancelled my transfer, still did from PC to MCO, just three or four months out, last year. No problems.

A town car one way is $105.00, one way. There are all kinds of coupons for $10. off a round trip.

kimm what did you think to my news?.....

I'm excited!!

 

[vital]

OK, are you not going to share the good news with the rest of us?
My legs are sore from squatting, lunging and the treadmill. Good grief! I know it will be worth it, but it hurts now!
Hope y'all have a good day!

PS I guess the nay sayers can quit doubting the SEC in college football!

Oh lord help me hazel's found the "DCL GOING TO CALIFORNIA IN 2008" thread......We maybe moving,women,can't live with em,can't live without em.....

 

[vital]

OK, we were on page 2! I just wanted to stop in and tell y'all that water sucks! I'm trying and I'm doing, but I don't like it!

 

[ohsodisney]

Hi Vital , i am so with you on the water bit, personally I think it was made to swim in or take a shower in. THATS IT ! oh or maybe with a splash of Vodka

My parents and ourselves decided to go 2 days early now and stay at the resort first. My Dad worked for Budweiser for decades and gets free tickets to Sea World now even into his retirement. Plus I think they will be more at ease if they don't have to worry about plane issues arising. I am booking at All Star Movies resort, but this means we are going to have to transfer over to Caribbean or one of the other resorts to get to the cruise line. Hopefully it won't be a hassle.

I also wanted to say thank you everyone for the warm welcome
Have to add my picture of the day.Castaway Cay.

Oh so confusing..but I have plenty of time to figure it all out & maybe if we really do get enough people staying at the same place or close we can all go together on one of those Hummerzine deals...that's sounds almost too good to be true.

MOVING? As in not doing THIS cruise???????????? Say it isn't so!!

I only made it to 6 glasses today....

 

[Babs417]

Kim if you keep drinking water you start to like it, its all I drink. Im still fat but I learned to likewater. We are going the day befor the cruise and are staying at Country Inn. We stayed at the Raddison last year and liked it but they are having a dog show. I like dogs but not alot of them overnight.

Geez I remember after 1 hour practices trying to get to the water before everyone else, and thinking it was the greatest tasting stuff around.

 

[Kimmielee]

Getting ready for work and water #1 is done!!

No way your stuck with us dear,cruise and flights payed for sorry.. what i should have said is if "SHE" decided we "need" to do the "canel" I'll be selling the house or one of the kids to pay for it that's all...

ps...I've been playing again this morning on you tube (as i do) and stumbled across a vid of an old bloke singing "My Old Kentucky Home" and it got me thinking do we have any DISS mates on this cruise who live down that way and who could persuade my dear wife to holiday around the said area about may time ...as it's always been a dream of mine to see the "run for the roses" and sing "My Old Kentucky Home" (with tear in eye of cause) just once before a curl up my toes....

ps...Paula love i think the postman thinks am lusting after him.....
