Hello everybody!
Whew! It seems like ages since I've been on this board. Luckily it didn't take too long for me to catch up on all the posts. You guys were kinda quiet while I was gone. I see that I wasn't the only one super busy these last few weeks.![]()
My college's spring dance show is this weekend so I've had some seriously long evening rehearsals preparing for it. Last night was our first performance and tonight we have another. I'm in four dances: a japanese fan dance, a swing jazz piece, a smooth jazz piece, and a ballet piece. So, needless to say, I've been super busy!My sister and mom are in two dances too! It is so much fun being backstage with my family in the dressing room between numbers. It definitely calms my nerves!
I will try to stay better involved now that there aren't going to be rehearsals every night!
Just wanted to drop by and say hi!
As I sit here, I"m watching that baby mouse that I brought home from the science center run on her wheel like crazy! She has gotten so big! I'll have to take some pictures and post them.
Hope all is well with everyone!
Hey everyone. I havent logged on and posted in a while. I just checked the cruise prices on Disneys site for our cruise. Have the prices gone down? Not much of a difference in price now since I booked that morning the cruise started selling (I had a dummy reservation from the Panama cruise) and the price now. I am now saving $198 for a Category 8 booking for 4 with $200 onboard credit. I could have sworn it was a better deal in October. I am not crazy about ponying up $1200 2 years ahead of time for 1st tier pricing, if that pricing ends up coming down. Especially since I have to pay for the whole cruise in May 2010 vs. booking last minute at a possibly better rate with better flight prices. My CC gives me 5% if I book everything through them. Thanks, mikeinmontreal. Hope everyone is well BTW.![]()

We are also getting ready for our next cruise which is just 11 days away now. We are flying down to the south coast as this is not only much quicker than the train, but also marginally cheaper. DHs family live near Southampton where the cruise will sail from so we will have dinner with DHs sister the night before we set sail. We will spend the night in a hotel right by the port so depending on which side of the hotel our room is, we might be able to see the Norwegian Jade as soon as we get up.

I just tried to check out prices on the website to see how the prices compare now to what I paid when they first opened up booking. Unfortunately I did not succeed as all inside cabins seem to have sold out. Considering that, I doubt that the prices have gone down. What would make a difference is that we paid the fuel surcharge and new bookings now don't have to pay them. That might account for why the deal does not look quite so good anymore.
Well, I have been MIA recently. Things at work are crazy and are getting more crazy by the minute. Apart from this there is plenty of excitement here as well.
Last week, my sister told me that she was getting married in September. I have not even met her husband to be yet. They had only just got together when I was in Germany last July and even my parents had not met him at that point. All going well, the wedding will be September 12th. We are only going over for a long weekend, but when we come back it will be only two weeks until we fly to Florida. I have not confessed that one to my boss yet. Fortunately I have the weekend itself off so I just need a day leave either end.

Once I am back from that, I need to seriously consider making the final payment for our October cruise. We have booked the REAS package again, which means that we can make our reservations for Palo and the shore excursions at 105 days out (June 20th). Not long after that, it is time to make ADRs for our post cruise stay and this time I won't forget.
When we booked the cruise last September while we were on the Wonder, I thought this would never come around, but now it is creeping up on us.
I have also wondered where Lynne is and I also miss Hadley. I hope that they are OK and still joining us on this cruise.

Just popping it to say "hi" - wow its quiet around here isn't it? Still on the positive side, at least I can keep up
I see we are less than 500 days until sailing - still a long way but its a milestone right?![]()
Sounds great - there will be even more Welsh people
WOW - cruising in 11 days - how exciting! Hope you have an amazing time!
How nice......
I see you are from Allentown PA, are you going to MagicMeets? just wondering, DH and I will be there.
Sadly I can't go to MagicMeets. My boss is on vacation that weekend so I'll be working.![]()
