Hey guys! I wanted to give everyone still at home an update on the weather in Cocoa Beach. We arrived at MCO at 815am which was right on time. We actually flew over the hurrican and went through a lot of clouds. We had the best pilot through and we never bumped around at all which was amazing. Of course we were coming down almost at a 45 degree angle with the left wing a lot lower then the right. Anyways, MCO was deary and cloudy. It only rained for a few minutes once we arrived in Cocoa Beach. And now I can report that we have sun and some blue skies. The sun started poking through the clouds about an hour ago. Yea!!!!!!!!

Well we got home safe and sound today! Had a WONDERFUL time! My daughter cried all the way home because she didn't want to leave, and only telling her we would go again sometime calmed her down. Hope everyone else ahd a good time sorry we missed the meet we were changing for dinner and forgot what time it was.

Beautiful weather and wonderful new friends! Hi Christine and and Stina!

 

[stina]

Yes, we're back. The trip was incredible, but leaving is always hard.
I'm going through MAGICal withdrawal already! I too cried so much today,
even in front of our table servers who were freaking out and were like - don't make us cry too! We even saw our head server in the Orlando airport (hooray for Nurshen!) who left the Magic today for break, she was in her regular clothes and she came up and gave us a big hug! It was so sweet, even though she was not on duty!

By the way...
Big shout out to my peeps from the "self party" posse: you know who you are. 80s time warp - woooohoooo! We gotta start a thread for updates. I'm sitting at the computer right now wondering where my drink of the day is. It hasn't magically appeared yet. Christine said today, "gosh, now I have to put my own napkin in my own lap!" Yup, we were spoiled.

Looking forward to more posts and updates from all the Sept. 10 sailors.

Bummed to be back, but had an awesome time! So much so that we booked another one for next year. Too bad we have to wait 15 months.

Let's try and keep this thread fresh by adding our own cruise pics. Here's one of my favs taken at the dock at KW.

Oh yea, saw the captain Wednesday night heading to the theater and had to grab him for a pic. So I included it in my sig.

My DD kept telling me the whole flight home that she didn't want to go back home. i told her that I didn't either. But we're here safe and sound. Sorry to have missed the meet -- the kids in our group were still dancing and blowing bubbles on deck 9 from the sail away party.

Here is my first attempt at posting a photo --- us on pirate night. DH is saying "argh" or something piratey . . .his face doesn't normally look like that. LOL. And he told DD that that is how pirates held their swords --- so that was what she wanted to do for all the photos.

Hi everybody! OK. So this didn't turn out to be the party cruise I had hoped for, but it was still "magical", despite my little monster's sleep deprivation.

It was great meeting those of you I got the chance to meet, even though I wasn't able to talk to anybody too much. Seems I always had to take off to chase somebody down the hall! That little turd!

Fortunately, Tyler bonded with the young daughter of our table mates, so I was able to get him into the kids' club 3 times for anywhere from 1-2 hours, because he wanted to play with her. And we're going to try to cruise the same time their family is thinking of going next time.

Can anybody help me out by telling me how to post a picture? I don't see an option to do that anywhere on the screen. Thanks!
