September 17, 2006 - 11 Night Southern Caribbean

[Scott H]

I did the same thing! Was trying to figure out where it was taken, then find the changes. Looked at it at 4:30 this morning. Woke me up definitely!

Had to switch to laptop as my monitor has a .40 S&W hole in it. Now to change my...... well you know.

Mine gets done in two days tops or it doesn't get done. We usually just have Bill's family for Christmas and for the last couple years not even Thanksgiving so I don't have to worry about it too much. Bill's family is on a time deadline when they visit I swear. I think the longest they have stayed in recent years is about 3 hours. Not worth the trouble.

Say hi to Scott for us! We miss seeing you guys at Topsiders in the morning. Remind me I have to tell you about that guy we saw with the sweats on in Topsiders. I found out who he was

OH yea I remember! So do tell. (we are talking about the african american guy correct?)

Yes! There was this guy (that didn't look like he was on vacation) in Topsiders. Dan and I were trying to figure out who he was (he would bus his own table, which seemed odd). I said maybe he is an entertainer. Thought he looked like he would be one the Platters or Four Tops or something. On Panama Canal day, he was up on Deck 10 next to us. We were talking with LighthousePrincess about Joey Fatone and the reaction that I got from this guy made me think even more that he was famous or an entertainer of some sort. I told Karen about our conversation after this guy walked away and sat away from the railing. I told her I was going to go ask him who he was. She said if she saw me taking a picture of him, she would come run over to meet him too.

I went over and told him he looked familiar and who was he. He told me, then I asked if I could have his picture. He said sure so I snapped one. Karen came running over to see who he was and I introduced him to her. He was the piano player in Session

Oh what fun we had on this cruise!!!!

We more of our planning for this trip is done! I was able to get a 2 bedroom villa at Boardwalk for 2 days (sept 28-30) Hoping to get to switch this to a grand villa at OKW if it is still available at 7 months!

Gosh now we need to find a hotel for 1 night at Cocoa Beach, really want the Ron Jon but hate the price-need to find discounts!

LOL that is too funny. The night that Chuck and I went to Sessions it was another guy their. Hmmm guess I should have went their more often! We went there for our own Martini tasting as the one on the ship was sold out. I had a very DIRTY DIRTY Martini, then an apple one and then a chocolate one. Wait before anyone thinks I am a lush, Chuck and I shared the Chocolate one! Tracy is the lush!

Dan

 

[dan and scott]

Hey shouldn't we be getting a newsletter soon?

Hi everyone, Happy Halloween BOO

Code Blue Code Blue-my heart just stopped!

Bad Peter!

You want a newsletter after calling me a lush? There must be something about drinking on the ship. Only twice in two weeks did I feel like I had a bit too much to drink (once was after the Tequilla tasting) and I know I drank more than I do on land

I'm shooting for getting the newsletter out tomorrow, but worse case will be Thursday. It depends how much time I'm on the phone/Skype in the next day

Just got off the phone with DVC MS and have a Studio at OKW for after the cruise. So for those of us who are compulsive planners the 11 month DVC window is open.

Let's see we can use Magical Express to get to MCO after a stay at OKW, that will save on transfers or rental car.

We also plan on using Magical Express back to the airport!

Hi everyone, Happy Halloween BOO

Mrs Whipple ... I mean Tracy. You can pencil me in for name tags. I just have to submit my "idea" for review. I'll try and keep it simple and something that you can still see, being that it'll be small. The name tags I've done before for Cruisetoberfest are about the size of a business card or a little bigger, and printed on both sides with a hole in the top to attach to a laynard. They help in several ways ... makes it easier to identify people you have met only on the "net" ... a little memory jogger for those "senior moments" ... in case you spend too much time at the martini tastings, you'll remember your own name!

Dan ... do you guys still have "Pinky"? That scavenger hunt was soooooooooo much fun. Only problem was that we did it so fast that I can't remember much else about Key West!

BTW ....

HAPPY (belated) HALLOWEEN everyone!

Had a good Halloween. Rained up until tricks-or-treats time. We still were able to put up all of our spooks and lights and fog and stuff. Just not as much as in the past. Still have candy left. What should I do with it???

Oh, yea. In all of the excitement of the holiday weekend, we missed celebrating Tippy's 100th. aw: In dog years anyway. Guess we'll do it this weekend. The weather should be nicer.

Everyone have a good week.

Is that a Hunter Thompson thing?

Bob, What can I say, I took the advice of my Samoan Attorney. Better check the quality of the rocket fireworks.

Dan ... I'll pass on "flamingo sitting" cause I'm afraid AshLee may take a bite out of him ... you know may taste like chicken or maybe coconut

I wish DCL would come up with a scavenger hunt on their cruises. It would be so much fun and a great way to learn where stuff is on the ship. Hmn ... maybe I should e-mail my idea to DCL and they could toss a "perk" my way

BTW
