September 22, 2007 -- WESTERN

[eva]

Hello everyone!
No docs yet in NY.
We'll be at the Residence Inn on Friday night as well.
Grand Cayman Recommendation: Captain Marvin's Snorkeling and Stingray Tour is #1. You can walk there from the tender port and book online.
Key West: We'll be spending a good part of the afternoon at the Half Shell Raw Bar and I'm buying the first few pitchers! 10 min. walk from the pier and the freshest seafood and best conch fritters around! All are welcome to join us.
Well, gotta go stand by the mailbox - it's almost tomorrow!

Wow! Free beer and seafood!?! Man, I am there!!!

It looks like there are still a couple of us that haven't received their documents. The wait is driving me crazy!

Is everyone out there like me? I CAN'T CONCENTRATE AT WORK!!! It was bad enough for the last couple months. But with only two weeks left, I am going insane with the anticipation!

I got my Water Bill in the mail!!!!

Close.

I WANT MY CRUISE DOCS!!!!

Actually, I'm super-happy today as my eldest DS has just got his first post-Uni job! Honestly, that boy - he only applied for the one and he got it!!!

So have a wonderful Friday, everyone - in two very short weeks we'll be waiting to board the plane...

Congrats to your DS!

Sounds fab!

Congrats to your DS!

Thanks Eva! It's an absolute brilliant feeling - two down, one to go...

Close.

Now how did you get such a huge water bill? Chicago has had so much rain this summer, we thought it was going to float out into Lake Michigan. It has been driving us crazy how that rain would just keep going north of us here in Peoria. Our offices in Chicago had many stories of flooded basements. At least we are getting a bit right now. Guess I shouldn't complain. It sure isn't as bad as two or three years ago.

So true! So true! I feel that God put the job I currently have in front of me just so my daughters would have great opportunities for employment. The company I work for placed both my DD's. One is now a graphic designer for Caterpillar (tractors) in their headquarters in Peoria and the other is a accounts payable clerk for an agriculture company called Syngenta right in our hometown. Not only is it great that they are self-supporting, but they love their jobs and are located right here in central Illinois. Isn't it great when all the money, blood, sweat and tears you put into their education finally pays off!

Congratulations to those that have received their documents. To the ones still waiting hang in there.

Karen, the only trouble with children leaving the house, is sometimes they come back and bring more with them Mike

Mike, I had that problem too until they both got these most recent jobs. Both DD's have come back once or twice. It is beautiful when they finally get their wings. We are celebrating about 18 months as empty nesters now.

Well, I guess I better go make some money for this trip!

Hello all!

I'm so glad I found this board/thread. My husband and I will be going on the Western starting 9/22/07. We went on the Eastern in 2/06. I am a little worried about hurricanes but I'm sure everything will be fine.

We got our cruise documents today No upgrade here.

We are planning on renting some scooters in Key West, going on the snorkeling adventure in Grand Cayman (the one over the sunken ship) and going on the catamaran/beach/snorkel trip in Cozumel (the one with all the free drinks)

I can't wait to have a great time with all of you!

Ditto! Thanks to all for already making this one Magical Cruise!

Eva,

I am so driving everyone crazy at work. Every day I do my count down and each day someone asks me when I am going and then they regret it cuz I go into a speal about when, where and how! I think they will be glad when I finally go on this cruise. So will I

So have a wonderful Friday, everyone - in two very short weeks we'll be waiting to board the plane...

Karen,

I am guessing that 'post-Uni job' is after graduating from University job?
What did DS major in? He must have been meant for the job he applied for!
Two weeks from right now we will be enjoying the hospitality of the Key West Resort. We haven't stayed there yet have you?
