September 17, 2006 - 11 Night Southern Caribbean Part 2

[PrettyInTink]

Oh, I almost forgot, unless I'm talking to myself- Our dd19 Amber just bought her very first car (on her own, Kev and I bought her a 92' Honda Civic, which she plans to sell)!!!!!!!!! She bought a 2001 Honda CRV LX, white with 75,000 miles on it. She, being the savvy girl she is, financed through Honda's 1st time buyers program, purchased the gap insurance, AND the 25,000 mile extended warranty. We stand impressed! She also got $2,000 knocked off of the price, because after my prompting her to check out Edmunds.com, she realized that the price they were asking was a little high, so she got the car for $500 less than Edmunds said it was worth! Our little negotiator! Thought I would share, we are beaming proud!

All those going to the OKW geritol and curds party, have a great time. Lynn and Scott are great hosts.

Thanx...

.... one of my packages arrived today with some of the kid's gifts. The other two are AWOL. So... I'm now printing out all our records and such.

And thanx again for the vote of confidence in my making it to 1000. You never know - I might get an equipment failure in the main and backup computers and NOT achieve 1000 before embarkation. But that is fairly unlikely.

Cheers!

Our group of gals fly out tomorrow morning, and should all be at the hotel by 4 pm.

To say that we're excited would be a major understatement!!

I think our group of 11 will be on the same flight as you!

#1000th!!!

Sorry, I decided NOT to keep it too simple after all! It IS my 1,000th posting here and last one until I'm post cruise!

Hope everyone made it safely to the ship and free of incident - unlike this young man here who was caught enroute going a little too fast...

Fortunately, we made it into Orlando in pretty good condition. Here we are in MCO just off United still in the debarkation Jetway at about 6:30AM, kids asleep in a double stroller and a convertible sit n stroll...

See ya all aboard the ship .... Here are some pix from Scott and Lynns' Sat Pre-Cru Wine n Cheese party!

I really liked EE, rode it 4 times. Sat in the very front and the very back, and twice in the middle, all were good, no real preference for me. The entry queue was really interesting, lines were short so did not really get time to take it all in. I think I could have provided some of the climbing equipment on display, have some of that stuff at home.

Also the Latt and Long for out room at OKW is N 29 22.586 , W 81 31.997, that should get ya close enough.

Nice pool break today, will do EPCOT tonight.

Lynn is wondering If I am ever going to relax, maybe by Tuesday.

Ran into Diana of TapandDap, at AK was good to see her, invited to the Wine and Cheese meet

Thanks Peter, for adding the info to P1P5.

Can’t wait to meet everyone, too many folks to name so I do mean everyone.

Remember even if ya didn’t signup for the Wine and Cheese, do show up…..

Stacy, I hear what ya are saying, heck we are here at WDW and still very excited……. WAHOOOOO>>>>>>

Today it was a fun day.

Be safe one and all and we will see some of ya tomorrow….

Geratol and curds, RIGHT……. No way Jose…. We will have Buffett playing and teaching PHINS…. Wouldn’t want you folks at the Radison to get hurt doing that…..LOL

I hate this dial up.

Studios tomorrow early entry….

Remember Kiddies “It’s a jungle out there”….

I think our group of 11 will be on the same flight as you!

We're flying US Airways...nonstop...flight leaves at 8:48. Two of us, anyway. The others are coming from other parts of the country, and are lucky that they arrive much earlier than I do!

So...are we flying buddies?

Guess not - we are minutes ahead of you on a nonstop Southwest flight at 8:40. You are going to be lucky and not have our 7 little ones jumping all over the plane.
