September 4th (2004) Disney Magic Cruise List

Hurricane Charley has passed Sarasota with nothing more than a little wind and rain. I assume Jason and Travis fared as well as we did. Not what we expected at all. Best wishes to those still in Charley's path.

glad to hear that the storm turned a little bit and spared ya'll a little bit. but i talked to fil this aft and they were getting lots of rain and waiting for the passover of st cloud of the eye tonight and whatever that would bring.

we'll check in with them in the morn and see how they fared.

on another more pos note, docs came today, including fil and stepmil, and i got the ups guy to forward theirs to them, so that we wouldn't have to pay for shipping. happy, happy, joy, joy.

it was funny, ups truck showed about 4 pm, and went next door, i was outside on swing talking to fil on phone, and i was expecting shipment of new discman, not to mention docs, well he left, so i thought was that my package, looked a little small for discman, though. i walked over to porch and looked at package and saw my name and address on box, so i picked it up, it was even the right address. it was our docs, but no discman. in about 5 mins another ups truck pulls up, and the guy starts rummaging around in the back, so i walked out to the curb, well he comes out with two boxes, discman and fil's docs. i couldn't believe they sent two trucks for all this. i guess it could have been three.

i saw on the late news that tropical depression #5 (earl) is developing south of islands and could track north to florida along same track as charley next week. will pray that it doesn't get strong enough to do much damage. reminds me of 96 when the destin got hit twice in less than 3 weeks, although they weren't as strong.
we delayed our drive home by a day and went to universal to miss the second one, actually stopped at destin for a few days on the drive down.
it was kind of eerie

Glad you got your docs, pogopossum!

Maureen, Travis, Jason, and all Floridians...please check in soon and let us know how you fared this morning. Hopefully the storm proceeded to take a turn away from you all. I've been thinking about you!

On a different note - Ruth Riley (#8) is playing right now as I type on the Women's Olympic Basketball Team. We are leading the New Zealand team 88/42. Ruth is from our county in Indiana.

She's the tallest girl on the team, by the way!! White women CAN jump!

Hi Melody!

I just got home from work.

We definitely got off easy last night. I woke up at 1:30 AM, to the sound of wind and rain. Thinking that it was the start of the storm, I came downstairs and turned on the news. They were showing that it had been downgraded from 4 to 1, and that the eye was passing south of here. Also, we didn't get any tornadic activity, which was a big concern.

We actually had a thunderstorm a few weeks ago that was much stronger than what we got last night.

Thanks for thinking of us!

Maureen

I do truly feel for the lives affected by this recent act of nature there in Florida. I'm hoping for a quick recovery in every way lives have been affected. Wishing for the best.

Looking forward to our visit there and teh upcoming cruise with everyone else here on this board and the Disney Magic.

 

[CRSNDSNY]

I'm so glad everyone is checking in and accounted for!

We should be getting the heavy rain and winds starting sometime today. Tis the season!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I must say, though, that I am now getting so incredibly nervous about flying in and out of MCO. Let's cross our fingers that there are no problems getting us to our cruise and home from our cruise!

Andy had his flight cancelled so he is driving to Orlando for his 8/21 cruise. I wonder how many have been impacted by this besides those who were directly in the pathway.

I got my documents yesterday - that should be the last of our group. But it didn't have my "early dining" so I will have to check with the Head Servers when I board since we are linked with Paul and Kaye.

Andy has the right idea....because of reading how he is driving down, we're going to have a backup plan to drive to port just in case. We are supposed to fly into MCO late Friday night. I just wouldn't be able to deal if the airport closed.

BTW -- we still didn't receive our docs.

 

[paulmc80]

Rae - No early dining on your documents? Sounds like we'll have to fix that. (I hope)

Sounds like Andy has a nice drive ahead of him. Being able to drive there is certaninly a decent option to have. One that usually doesn't cross my mind however.

 

[rae519]

Paul - you mean you can't swim??? Sheesh, some native Hawaiian you are - I can just hear your ancestors muttering!!!

Melody - you can bunk with us!!!

Am I the only one waiting for my docs?

 

[Windermere]

I got myy docs a couple weeks ago but DH hasn't gotten his first set yet. They went too our old address so they had to be re-issued. Maybe I'll call tomorrow to make sure the new set has been shipped out.

Now I don't feel so left out.
TA emailed me that he received them yesterday and will be 2-day shipping them to me today. So that means I should have them Thursday or Friday. YEAH!

Glad to hear you will be getting those documents soon!!
