Where are you from on LI? I grew up in Baldwin...

I am a North Shore girl, grew up in Great Neck (but can't stand it) and now live in Port Washington.

No, ours is Trilogy at Power Ranch in Gilbert. Bear Creek is a municipal owned by the city of Chandler. Good try though!

Now I won't feel like the old lady of the group..but maybe rdy2bpamperedmom is closer to my age. I was feeling old looking at all the 30 somethings on the list. But guess I can't complain since my DS and DIL are going. Guess I earned these gray hairs - but I've got a great beautician so they don't show that much.

FYI, for the cabins,
We're in 6015 and 6011, they're sideways cabins forward and late dining.

laurabearz, if you want to add ages,
Reine - 59
Paul - 62
Chris - 31
Julia - 23

We may be adding DSIL and DMIL if we can get MIL's passport. See the post on the forum about getting an 83 yo a passport without a birth certificate. Fortunately we have several months to work it out.

 

[rdy2bpamperedmom]

i am 63 and my DM is 86 so what? life is short, go and enjoy. i was so tickled when my DD invited me to join in the fun, i jumped at the chance. i lost my husband in july of 06, and i intend to enjoy whatever time i have left. who knows what could happen tomorow. live it up today, laugh and have fun. glad to have u in the group.

 

[Laurabearz]

Well I turn 44 right before the cruise (oct 4th woot) and I always say it's not the years it's the miles... which would make me prolly the oldest one on the cruise

 

[CM_Mom]

Thanks to ScouterJT, I now have the census record for DMIL so it looks good to get all the paperwork done and get her a passport. If we get that done and as long as DSIL's chemo goes OK, the two of them will be joining us.

DMIL uses a walker but I told her that we have plenty of family (5 and sometimes 7) onboard and the DCL folks are really helpful. The "sometimes" two will be my DD and her new hubby who work on the ship.

It will be a fun cruise.

Laurabearz, don't add anyone to our list just yet. I'll let you know when they actually book the cruise.

 

[Laurabearz]

I will wait to add them. ANd FYI I knew that was you on the passport thread. I am happy to see the cenus thing work out! WOOT!

No no I was refering to a thread started by one of OUR cruisers about getting a passport for her Grand Mother.

This thread right here is in the Cruise MEETS section, but there is a General Cruise question section here... http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9

That's a lot of reading, but it's very interesting. But if you feel more comfortable asking a question here, please do, and one of us will do our best to answer it for you

 

[rdy2bpamperedmom]

all set, get all our passports sent for, as long as they get here. anyone ever hear of not receiving a passport after u sent for one? hope there is no hitch. DGM 86 and mom, DD and DSIL and DGS and DGD. did i do that right?? i'm very new at computers, and may not come across clearly. my DD is trying to initiate me into this new world of communication. it's loads of fun. she makes great button ideas, but she is a better DD than any other out there. GUARANTEED!! oct 6 2007 come on!!

How can you go wrong with someone that thinks you are perfect in everyway??!! NOT!!!

Reality check!!! We all know that is not true!! I am not perfect I am a grateful daughter...big difference but still GOOD!!

Can you tell it's my MOM??

 

[Laurabearz]

I have this info in the second post of this thread... but I just notice I am 45 days out from booking my excursions! I booked this cruise 585 days out... 45 days until I can book my excruisons then 105 days until the CRUISE! WOOT WOOT!

Ok ok I know just a bit excited aren't I....

For Concierge and Romance package people the booking window is 105 days out.. 06/23/2007

For repeat cruisers the booking window is 90 days out... 07/08/2007

For first time cruisers the booking window is 75 days out... 07/23/2007

But seriously Time is ticking. Soooooooooo is anyone has any questions about any excruision toss it out here, and or post it to the main cruise board here.. http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9

 

[Laurabearz]

Ok here is a little something I have been working on... let's hope it works rofl Open your window really big.... lol

Anyway I am sure I am missing people. I went through the list on first page and the last few pages of this thread... Oh and it looks like Deck 6 PORT is the party part of the ship!

 

[Laurabearz]

Oh boy oh boy I am upping my post count tonight on this thread aren't I.. sorry.

Anyway here is a link to a thread that shows 1) lots of pictures of the magic 2) pictures of me (being very silly)

The pictures are scattered around the thread Page 1, 5, 10, 11, 13 but I urge you to have tissue near by if you read the whole report. Bugdozer is a great friend of mine and I love her son and his best friend travis very much. It was an honor to share a bit of their trip with them, and so tickled to see all the wonderful photos of the Magic (also the apartment in the Castle!!) Oh just click and read.... dont forget the tissue! (In case you can't figure it out... I am Bearz in the story... lol)
