Roll Call. Oct.19,02

[jiminyC_fan]

Good morning everyone. Thank goodness all I do is type on the boards because I am losing my voice now. Ted loves it when I do. It's so quiet-real funny!

Glad the Dudettes finally got their luggage. What a nightmare!

Turner is so cute. I am sure the sleepwalking isn't fun but when they talk it is fun to listen. Both of our girls talked in their sleep.

Sally, did you hear that the temp is going to be in the 30's all week? Doesn't even compare to the 80's! Hope your headache is better.

I think that we can still communicate on the community board. That way we could still do it the same way. One of us will have to start a new one there. We could name it the 19ers return or something.

Might consider the Nov. trip with you. Which route?

Thinking of Denine and Jerry. I bet they are on cloud 9!

I am closing for now. Want to go look at Bonnie's pics. See ya.

 

[Schrolls]

This is another Eastern Cruise. We have it booked but might consider moving it to the western. Would love to have a bunch of the 19ers repeating with us. Paul's sister and niece plan to join us as well.

When I get my confirmation in the mail, I'll get my countdown going. It sure will be depressing seeing triple digits.

Homework break is over. Gotta go crack the whip again!!!!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Bonnie, I tried calling up your pics but couldn't get them. Diana, WHERE were you the entire trip. Never, never saw you. We even ate at the same restaurant at the same time. Megan's Bay was so much fun. Would loved to have you there, also! We were all actually rolling in the water. The current would take us out and then bring us back in but with tremendous force that it would "roll" us. We had no control of our bodies so half the time our rear ends were up in the air and our legs above our heads. Not too lady like, believe me. We were laughing so hard and loud that it stopped the beach. Everyone had to check us out. I actually washed my suit in the washer but I still can't get the sand all out.

The bushwhacker was at Paradise Point. It was their specialty. Here is the recipe: 1/2 oz. Lt. rum, 1/2 oz. dark cream De Cocoa, 1 oz. Kahlua, 1 oz. vanilla ice cream (Signals used cream) and 1 oz. pina colada mix. Blend with ice. Yummy!

I agree with Jeanne that knowing people on board made it special.

Pictures will be back Wed. except the water camera which has the parasailing pics and the ROLLING pics. Will get them back by 5 today. Wish I knew where Bonnie and Jeanne works so that I could have them posted! Joyce, you were the only smart one of our group that didn't join in.

Take care everyone. I am already having withdrawals.

 

[disney6]

Where was I? ummmmmmmm

Mickey pool, taking pics with characters in the evenings, saw the adult comedy show two nights, ....... Shutters, shops.........

We sat in the front of the restaurant except Lumieres, right by the back door -- big table for 10! Ernestina was our server, she was great! Zaldy (our asst server) was usually on the floor with the girls after dinner! hate to admit this BUT we were usually 10 min. late for dinner!

Did run into Bonnie, Jeanne and Joyce and Darren some (formal night in line for pics, deck 10 when she took my pj picture, can't remember but other times too) ran into Julie and Garry Jr. at the mickey pool and cc, Lori at CC as I was retrieving 4 yr old as she just relaxed on a float and literally floated away! I did see Denine but never close enough to say hey and who else...... I know someone I saw quite often but can't remember his name...... it'll come to me later (my apologies).

 

[jiminyC_fan]

One more thing. Did Darren stay on the ship or did he go to WDW as planned? We were going to the talent shows to say our goodbyes but my cold had me down and just didn't do anything that night.

 

[disneydudette1]

I see Diana and Sandy are on so I will make this short to get their attention!

Darren went on to WDW. He weighed all the options and opted to see his friends in WDW nd of course his parks. He should be back home sometime next weekend or Monday by the time the plane lands.


More in a sec!

 

[disneydudette1]

Can we make the 11/29/03 rip grow! Can you imagine the Dudettes + 1 Dudette Husband (I guess we could make him an honorary Dude), Sandy & Ted, Sue and Paul & sleepwalking Turner! What a time! Hey Diana how about joining us? and everyone else too! I'll bring along my pic of RC Mountie and there can be 2 dudes! Tee Hee.

Diana-Magan's Bay was a last minute trip for us. See what we did was Sandy and Ted came up with the ideas and then we did the same thing! That way we didn't have to think too much. Wish you had joined up. It was a blast but as Sandy says still cleaning out the sand. I'm surprised there's a beach left.

I hope Katie is continuing to do better. It sounds like she may have picked up the bug that's been going around.

Laurie-Are you out there lurking? I 'm sorry I didn't get to see more of you on board.

I imagine Denine and Jerry are in heaven right now. Wait a few days with the lack of sleep though. Reality check!

 

[disney6]

IF we go next year (highly unlikely but one can dream!) will probably do the Western the last week of Oct or the 1st week it's offered in Nov.

Sitting here next to Ian who I picked up from school around 2:15 with a temp of over 102! He is NOT my child that usually gets sick either!

 

[jiminyC_fan]

We probably won't do the Nov. trip either. We want to do the Western. I got back the "rolling" pics. Makes me laugh just looking at them. Got your email Bonnie. Thanks. Will download later.

 

[DisneyDudetteTwo]

Sandy: So you have some blackmail pics! I sent you an e-mail but I don't know if it really went out. I mailed you some pics today - we must be on the same wavelength.

DD#1 & I are trying to get our December Disney trip organized along with DD#3 but we are really contemplating a November cruise but I would like to do the Western this time. Airfare has went up in price recently so we are getting nervous!

All my pictures are back & turned out great. I am glad we didn't buy more since it was only 44 cents to make copies at Sam's Club.

Well I am going to watch the Eagles win Did you notice it's a green bouncey!

Toodles Jeanne alias DD#2

 

[wildernessgirl]

Hi everyone! I'm glad to see everyone made it back safe and sound. I hope Katie is feeling better! Garry, Makenzie and the "big Guy" also caught something on the trip. It's a nasty cold thing! We just got back this afternoon and BOY is it COLD!!!!!!!! It was in the 40's today in Cleveland! I want to go back to....."Island vacation, rest and relaxation, Castaway Cay oh so nice it's a tropic paradise!"

We did two days at the world after the cruise and I agree, sea legs and the parks are rough! I kept saying to Garry.....I feel like I'm on the boat still, let's go back! We watched the video of the trip and saww the dudettes, Jerry and Denine, and Darren. What a great trip!

I had so much fun meeting all of you! Makenzie and the big guy are still looking for the dudettes! When we were in EPCOT and passed the United Kingdom, I kept yelling....Daren you here? But no Darren! Garry and I are talking about another cruise too! Could we do a repeat of the 19er's??? I think it would be great!Well, better go.....have A LOT of unpacking to do. I'll check back in later or tomorrow! Glad to see we're all still here!!!!!!!!

 

[wildernessgirl]

I can't get your pics dudette! I can't wait to see them!!!

 

[disneydudette1]

Welcome home Julie and Garry and Mackenzie and the Big Guy!

I miss all of you guys also. I sent a PM with my email address then I noticed you had sent your's already. I am still checking the roll call Oct 19 emails first! Old habits are hard to break

No sign of Darren eh?

As Jeanne said we are getting ready for the Dec trip. We aren't coordinating very well tho. I will use FF miles therefore to get there the same time as Jeanne (she made her ressie then informed us) I fly from Phila. to Pitts to Wash. DC to Orlando. Coming home through Charlotte-Hey Sue come visit me for an hour or 2 at the airport!!!!! I can't complain for $10.

Julie- I will send some pics tonight. To others I will continue to send some pics each night if I have your address.

Eastern vs. Western-I don't care as long as the ship "books it" between ports! And I know the 19'er family are on board. I was in heaven!

Miss you all!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Sue?

 

[Schrolls]

Good Morning, Bonnie. I would gladly come visit you at the airport but with security tight the only way we could see each other is if you came out and then had to go back through security. If you can stand the strip search or whatever, let me know when and I will gladly come meet you. We could have...a cup of coffee or something.

Can't stay on long this morning. I go back to work and Turner goes back to school. Paul came down with a nasty cold yesterday and he is pretty miserable. I hope all the germs stay away from me and Turner.

I'll try to get back on this evening. Have a great day!

 

[Mickey02'sMom]

Good morning everyone.....

Bonnie I took my pictures in to get developed and they said it is going to cost around $70 dollars and the ones I took on Dick's camera he put on a cd and there are over l40 there so hard to tell what that is going to cost but think of the album I can make...lol. I told Patti I would do hers so am waiting on her pictures now. I am going to be busy for awhile. I want to get them done before I go again in Dec.

Our weather has turned cold so hope my headache goes away soon. Barb should get back today...hope they don't get in too much snow.

I was so tired Sun and Mon that I haven't gotten a lot done and Dick wants me to start walking this morning...just what I need!!

Sorry to hear so many of you got sick....was it the weather change or did it start on the ship?

 

[jiminyC_fan]

Good morning! I am checking in for Lori. She didn't have time yesterday to get on the boards. Katie is still in the hospital. Cody has gone back to school and Lori still has her cough. I really feel for them!

Sounds like a lot of us got the cold. Hope everyone is getting better. Welcome back Garry and Julie.

Jeanne, I didn't get your email. I will pm you again with my email address.

Gotta go. Expecting my little ones any minute. Just want to tell everyone "hello" from Lori. Sandy

 

[Olando]

Sandy --
Thanks for the update on Katie!! Please let Lori know that we are thinking of all of them. Kristen was really upset when I told her about Katie. My mom, brother and myself all have asthma so she know how critical it is if she is still in the hospital. It must have started with the same bug that we all must getting. Kristen was sick Sat AM and we didn't make it to breakfast on the ship. (but that made the goodbyes easier) She just has an ear infection and sore throat and got antibiotics yesterday and she is in school today.

We miss the "Disney Life" here in Wisconsin. Its cloudy and in the 40's. Nobody is waiting on us, and reality is sinking in......

More later..
Laurie

 

[DisneyDudetteTwo]

So glad to hear Julie, Gary, Mackenzie & the Big Guy made it home safe & sound.

Poor Katie GET WELL SOON FROM THE 3 DUDETTES!

Sandy: I will send you an e-mail from my other e-mail address (I always have problems with this comcast.net site). Don't expect me to download any pictures because I am not that computer literate! I did send you some which you should get tomorrow.

Got a flu shot today to keep the bug away. Can't get sick - DISNEY IN DECEMBER

The EAGLES won!

Miss you all & the Disney MAGIC. Toodles

 

[disneydudette1]

We're all concerned and upset about Katie. Glad to hear COdy is well enough for school...although I'm sure he's not too happy about going back but I'll bet he has terrific stories to tell all! Tons of Pixie dust to Colorado.

I am coming sown with a doozy of a cold so you may not hear much from me. DD #2 & 3 know how sick I get. May stay home from work tomorrow...I'll see how I feel in the AM.

Ok Truth time... I gained 10# !!!!!!!!! That was despite taking the stairs all the time with Jeanne dragging up the rear saying " I liked Bonnie better when she was fat and we could take the elevator!"

Laurie thanks for checking in. Sorry I didn't see much of you on board the ship. It's amazing , after the wine party I never saw Sandy II again! And Mickey o2 and crew very infrequently.

Miss you all!

 

[Schrolls]

Hope Katie is home from the hospital soon. Glad to hear Cody is better. Sandy, I hope you and Ben don't let yourselves get too run down. Wish I could make things better for you all.

Work was awful today. I had 279 email messages in my inbox and 4 meetings that I didn't know I needed to attend. No sympathy at work - just get back into the details!! How I miss napping on deck 9 by the pool or on a float at Castaway Cay!!!

I'm still supervising Turner and all the make up work he has to do. Maybe by the weekend, we will be all caught up.

I don't have pictures ready yet. Paul is in bed with a stuffy head, bad cough and fever. He rarely gets sick but he sure has it bad this time. Makes you wonder what this bad bug is!!!

So far, Turner and I do not have it. I may sleep in the other room tonight!

Gotta go see how Turner's story is going. Chat again later.
