Hi Kaz, it all sounds like such fun.....and I agree that vacation planning is great but what's even better is vacation doing.

DEB!!!
How are you feeling, hon? Sorry to hear how sick you've been and that you now have issues with both your legs - sending plenty of ... I hope you find some relief asap...

You're so right about 'vacation doing' - I think I'm in particularly manic planning mode as we just had to cancel a trip to Barbados (I should be sipping rum punch as we speak... ) so all my attention has fallen onto our April WDW trip. Now thinking of booking a WDW fishing excursion to surprise our son with...

Hey Deb

.

Hi Jackie, Good day to you!!!

I'm trying for Sunday Sept 13 to do the Champagne Girls. It's a sea day with the following day a sea day also. We'll set it for 2pm this time so that people will be able to make their 6pm committments.

It's a good idea to check with the April cruisers to find out the specifics about evening themes and attire. But I think if we can get Diversions for that time and date, I'll keep it scheduled for then. I like Diversions better than Sessions so I'll try to get that space. I'm getting excited.

 

[CustardTart]

OK, I am beginning to engage in this trip.

Who interested in:

Shots Around the Ship
A Stem to Stern Extravaganza


And more importantly, what night should it be held on?

Let me know. I'll be in my office.

No idea about the best day tho'...

I have a feeling you might see several of the purple ones on our cruise!

I'll keep my eyes peeled...

Good day/time choice. I thought it had been posted already, but couldn't remember.


Just got Ian's list for possible DDP locations and he's suggested several places that are new to me. It's just so hard to give up some favorites to try new ones, but isn't life more fun when you try new things. Plus there are some 'old favorites' availble on the SHIP......Coquille St Jacques anyone?

...but isn't life more fun when you try new things.

So true! And on that note, I'm off to try something old - my comfy bed! Goodnight all...

Yea, it's been a slow going new year but hopefully we have gotten it all out of our system and will return to health and happiness.

I LOVE Barbados. It's my favorite Carribbean Island. So sorry you had to cancel. At least you're able to start planning your April WDW trip. It won't be long now. What dates will you be there???

Take the plunge, try new things.....you'll have new favorites to add to your list.

Let me whisper in your ear (Boma, Spoodles)

No need to whipser BOMA ! And that Spoodles menu looks soooooo gooooood.

GoodNight Kaz, sweet Mickey dreams.

Can I just say..... Chocolate-Apricot-Pistachio Cake

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Hey Guys are we going to have an old geezer meet up at the Cove Cafe one night too??? I would also love for a group of us to get together and do that. Who's up for it?

 

[ibouncetoo]

Oh Deb, you'll probably find all of the "R" family in there at night...well, depending on the 'adult' shows it might not be till a little later.

I missed the 'midnight dessert buffet' on the WBPC...don't even know what night it was...probably one of the ones I went straight to bed after dinner.

You mean at the Cove Cafe??? What time did they have the old geezer meets on the PC cruise? I never made it to any of them but I wanted to. I know they had a good time.

John went to the midnight dessert buffet and took pictures. I have them if you would like to see what you missed....hahahaha

 

[JLSE50]

Thanks so much Donna, Kathe, Jackie and Jan.

Jackie, YES it's definitely a DIS meet!!!

Jan, the legS are both now infected again. Just finished a double batch of antibiotics. Gotta get back to the doctor again soon and see what he says.

So SORRY

Stay on top of it! We need you healthy before September! Whatever the MDs say--do it all.

Jan

Oh I definitely will. I know that if I ignore them it only gets worse and I end up in the hospital like what happened when my mom died and I could not attend to them properly. They got worse and after her funeral, I went into the hospital. It was horrible! I don't want to go back there again. I'm doing my best. I just don't understand why they won't heal and why they get worse again after being better. It's coming up on two years this spring since this started. Sometimes I think they won't ever heal.

Just remember in Sept on a Sunday afternoon FOOTBALL Games at Diversions on all the TV's

Thanks Maureen for reminding me. I did forget. The last Champagne Girls was in May so it was not football season. But you're right so it looks like we might have to move to Rockin Bar D or someplace. We'll have to see what DCL says as we get closer. Thanks for the heads up though.

Also, now that I'm engaging in this voyage.

I shall soon start to post my requirements for acceptable social intercourse.

Now hearing THAT is enough to get me engaged in this voyage!

I post technology alerts on another cruise thread. A trip a took with a bunch of riffraff through the Panama Canal.

I thought that I would share my overwhelming wisdom here as well.

And so, gentle reader, without much further ado:

Technology Alert

OK, I have stumbled across something really cool from Sony that is going on the market very soon:

Webbie HD

It's a Hi-Def video camera that records to a memory stick. You can fit up to 5 hours on a 16GB stick. The camera weighs, 7 oz.

The best part? The price of Webbie HD - $199

Webbie HD

This really looks cool! I might have to budget for one of these. Wouldn't it have been great the day we went through the PC?

Hi Cheri. So glad you've checked in! How are you?

Kathe

Trying to get over a cold but basically just fine!

I learned a valuable lesson about patience while I was healing, not to mention a renewed (sympathy) & admiration for everyone who has struggles like that everyday and manages.

I had the same experience when I was in a wheelchair/on crutches while on my first cruise. Very humbling and a very good lesson I haven't forgotten!

Hi! I'm here! Cheri, age 59 (at the moment), late dining, FE, looking forward to 3 weeks with some of my favorite people!!!



Hi Cheri!!! We came very close to visiting Arizona in Feb. It would have been way down in Tucson for the jewelry show, but we would have traveled around the state some. We had to change our plans because Greg's having surgery in a couple of weeks. We are going to Vegas instead in April.

I hope everything is OK with Greg. Good to hear from you! Maybe another time (AZ)--

We are now on the WB Transatlantic in 2010. We made the decision to cancel the Baltic and do that instead. Hard decision, but the TA is half the price for 2 more days.

Have to work out the dreaded one way airfares though.

How many of us are on the WB? I booked that, too, in Dec.

OMG! Cheri was awake at 4:something AM! Oh wait....she probably hadn't gone to bed yet.

Unfortunately no, I went to bed about midnight but then woke up at 3:30 a.m. and was awake for about 3 hrs.

I'll be sure to have my Tink outfit pressed and ready to go!!

OG and GIT, baby!! That's what I'm talkin' about!!!


The AZ Cardinals are ahead of the Carolina Panthers 27 to 7! Can they hold on to the lead for 2 more quarters?????

I've been experienceing the same problem lately.

How about those Cardinals?!
