Sept 4-8 2005 Wonder S.S. Member Cruise! Part 2

[mrsdon]

We went to a GWRRA chapter fun day.
Goldwing Road Riders Assc.
Each area of TN has their own chaptrs, but all the monies raised in TN from fun days go to St Judes.
We went to one in Reelfootlake about 1/2 hours from Memphis.
It was very, very hot.
We do wear riding jackets which are great.
They keep the sun off and are vented os the air passes through.
But, I wore shorts, because i dont have rieing pants.
So my legs got burned.
The point of this post, is I hope I'm done peeling by Sept 4.

Answering a fluffy question.
We always get off the ship in pot,
Even if its for a quick walk around close to the ship.
We like to take pictures of the ship from the peir.

Amy, I thought we were going to make 10,000 easily. Not so sure anymore

But, 8,000 definately, 9,000 sounds like a goal.

How about another game of GTKYFC? I'm sure we can come up with some more thought provoking questions to move our thread along .

Let's see how many questions we can come up with this time --

1. I graduated high school from .....
2. I am currently employed as a ......
3. My dream job would be .....



Anyone have any to add?

I graduated high school from St. Joseph Hill Academy, Staten Island, NY and yes, it was as bad as it sounds plus it was ALL GIRLS!!!

I am currently employed as a SAHM, and lovin it, plus I'm a Big Yellow Box by Crayola consultant.

My dream job would be, it was always a stay at home mom, but if it had to be a job outside the home it would be working for Disney, probably doing importing of some sorts.

We just got in from the fest. Walked in the gates at 4 pm when it opened and stayed through the last act. Heard some great music today.

What music fest was this? Where was it? Connie

I 'm actually surprised that Stacy hasn't posted yet warning everyone at the early dinner seating about my girls!! Dinner was great, it was so great to meet them and Nick is quite a conversationalist!

We realized as we were leaving that exactly 2 weeks from that moment we would all be in PI!! I can't wait!!

Stacy is out at the moment, but I'm sure that she will write something when she returns.

It was great to meet you and your family and look forward to getting together at PI.

Hey Diana - Glad to see that you and Stacy had a good time today.

Just to tease you a little, mom came by to get the stuff to work on my surprise for your girls.

Also, didn't you say that you were going to Whispering Canyon on Thursday for dinner? We made ADRs for 6pm. Chris suggested that I ask you if you wanted to sit together. We have the DDE card and it gives a discount for up to 8 people at one table. Just an idea. Heck, you may be sick of us by the end of the cruise.

DON'T TEASE ME!! You are soooo mean!!!

Yes, we have ADRs, but I still prefer to call them PS for WCC on Thursday, but I think ours are for 5pm. I think it would be alot of fun to do it together though, so if you want to change your ressies to 8 people, I can cancel mine. I don't think I'll be sick of you guys! But as Stacy and Jeff can attest, my girls have terrible table manners!

Oh, yea, and I still call POR Dixie Landings! I don't like change!!

Sure, I'll hop on the next flight to NY. Don't I wish!!!

Trust me, I still want to call them PS, but I'm trying.

I'll call WDW-DINE tomorrow to see if I can get something between 5 and 6 for 8 people. And, don't worry, mine don't have the best table manners either. Plus, you just can't beat 20% off, at least it pays for most of tax & tip.

What music fest was this? Where was it? Connie

Connie - we are up at Milwaukee Irish Fest. Just got back from amother great night! This is a yearly stop for us. We love Irish music and this festival showcases some of the best there is. One more day tomorrow starting with Mass, then the festival for a bit and then we'll head home. It has been a great weekend.


edited to add - this is really Mary. I forgot to log Mark out.

Anyone else stuck on their Door Magnets? I've got a ton of cool ideas, however every time I sit down to do them I spend all my time looking at the cool tshirt thread or checking to see if anyone else has posted pics of food from the ship.

EXCELLENT!!!

 

[Stitch#1]

Sorry guys I know I'm posting late tonight.
We had a great time at dinner tonight with Diana Lyn and her family.
The girls were just fine at dinner!
Nick did kind of talk alot but I think Julia was a little fascinated with him.
I have a cute picture of Nick & Emma, I just need to remember how to post the picture on the thread.
Someone may need to jog my memory.

Squid, I think you are right about the ship. It was early morning and still very foggy when I first looked. I did talk to my sister after they boarded the ship - if she could get a signal I'm sure I would hear from her everyday. In their room was the blanket for return cruisers and a letter about purchasing the LE pins. She's pretty happy that they won't have to sleep in the hallways to get the pins! She said it was pretty cool having lunch at Topsiders looking out at the mountains.
