Podcast Cruise 2.0 Thread FIVE

[DisneyTaylors]

Good morning podcast cruisers!

Word from Anna's school teachers is looking good. We have a couple more questions to ask, but they appear to be okay with us pulling Anna out of school for the Podcast Cruise. So, as soon as we get our questions cleared up I'll be paying our balance in full (probably Thursday) and we'll be all set. Words can't express how happy I am that Kim and Anna will be on the cruise with me. What looked like an improbablity last Spring/Summer has turned into somewhat of a miracle this Summer/Fall. It's made a BIG difference in how I feel about this trip. I love all of my friends, but having family next to my side during a trip like this makes is so, so special.

See you real soon!

Glad things are falling into place!

I hear you there Lyn! I spent this weekend reading Juliet by Anne Fortier (on my Kindle). Almost 500 pages in two nights. I highly recommend it, especially to anyone who's a fan of the Romeo and Juliet story in general. Fictionalized of course, it delves into the fact that Shakespeare wasn't the first to tell the story and that it's likely based on actual people and events. Yes, it's a love story, but I was impressed with it.

Oops. Guess this is the cruise thread, not a book review, but I highly recommend it - maybe as a book for the cruise?!

On your recommendation *sister, I downloaded the book onto my Kindle this morning. Can't wait to get into it

Thanks

Aw, heck... Just when I thought I could live without a Wii... *sigh*


And to get folks even further in the mood...from PCC 1.0...

Got on my Wii for the first time in a long time.
My little mini Wii Me on the Wii Fit said I had been missing for 80 days!

Our Wii has been unplugged for a while. The PS3 has 'head system' status right now. I'm thinking of bringing the TV in from the Disney room into the living room, so it doesn't feel neglected. (And might get some use...)

There is a link to it on the top of your reservation page via Dream Unlimited Travel. That's the only way I could remember the name so quickly.

Trying to use up the last of Matthew's Audible.com credits. I have one left...just this morning, I've downloaded 3 new books: Juliet (as recommended by Dodie), Thanks for the Memories by Cecelia Ahern (love most of her other books and haven't read this one yet), and then Mini-Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. I love the Shopaholic series so I was very excited to see a new one!

One last credit to use...any other recommendations? I don't like sci-fi and I do like books that are part of a series. I'm one of those readers who always wonders what happens next when a book ends, so I tend to be drawn to a series...

Do I hear a tinge of humility? You mean you don't know everything Disney?

 

[MomlvsGoofy]

Thanks, I didn't think that was her because that site doesn't have any of the great baskets that I have seen in threads. I will check on it.

Silly me if I had clicked on the right thing I would have seen the Cruise baskets! Now I have it.

Not even close. But I know where good resources are. (I'm here aren't I?)

Unless you are talking about the ones you order directly from Disney?

Will DCL have Christmas-themed gifts that can be pre-ordered?
I see where they have Halloween stuff, now.

I could only imagine so. Anything to part you from your dollars.
