Monday morning UH! At least it's only a 4 day week! Then the kids start Spring Break and we're off to Busch Gardens-I hope it warms up! Happy St. Patty's Day everyone!!!

Pixeegrl I Have to ask where in the area of Bush Gardens you are staying? We are planning a trip there this summer and don't really know where to stay . We are a family of 5 so it is hard to find a good clean Hotel. I was looking at a country inns and suites they are usually pretty good but one seems further from the park then the other. So I am confused . We are big into coasters and can't wait to ride Griffon .


Tricia .... I am a little worried by that post there . I do think one needs a big tall GREEN BEER today and then who cares what you are going to boil ... ... Now go take that kid out of the pot and put him in the car and put the beef back on the stove... Enjoy your day


Off to make a few phone calls be back to Ck in later .... Remember you can check in but you can never Check out ....

Tammy, I know you asked why we prefer Disney Cruises. Truth is we don't actually "prefer" it, but we do like it and have fun on Disney. We'll cruise almost anything. And Palo is the adult restaurant (reservation only ... you don't NEED to eat there), but that is 18 and up, not 21. And, yes, we do like that DCL is one of the only cruise lines that enforces the adults-only sections of the ship. We've cruised Holland America too and are going on Royal Caribbean this summer as well. As long as a cruise line has suites and concierge, we'll try them. I hope that doesn't sound snotty. I just like larger rooms since cabins tend to be so small on cruise ships and I don't want to deal with the front desk, shore excursion desk, purser's office, etc. I just want to pick up the phone and speak to the concierge and let her handle everything. To be honest, Holland America does concierge MUCH, MUCH better than Disney and for a much more reasonable cost, although the suites are nicer on Disney.


Tricia, 2500 posts! Woo-hoo!

Hi everyone! Sorry this is such a horrible fly by.

I need to go eat some "dinner" then shower and go to bed so sorry I'm being abrupt.

Remember ... everyone is IRISH on St. Patrick's Day!! Enjoy it!

Hi Jodie! Glad you posted the link. I will pop on over and fill it out. Hope you sleep well today!

We've cruised Holland America too and are going on Royal Caribbean this summer as well. As long as a cruise line has suites and concierge, we'll try them. I hope that doesn't sound snotty. I just like larger rooms since cabins tend to be so small on cruise ships and I don't want to deal with the front desk, shore excursion desk, purser's office, etc. I just want to pick up the phone and speak to the concierge and let her handle everything. To be honest, Holland America does concierge MUCH, MUCH better than Disney and for a much more reasonable cost, although the suites are nicer on Disney.

I'll also recommend you try Celebrity some time. Kind of a bit upscale from RCL. My folks are on it right now for the second time. They always did Holland, but tried Celebrity last time and really liked it. You can do a normal cabin (even though that sounds not exactly like what you want) and upgrade to Concierge Class for about $100pp. They did this last time and really thought it was worth it for all the reasons you mentioned, plus they got a lot of little things like robes in the room, hor douvres (sp?) each night in the early evening, preferential boarding and disembarking, etc. Just a cheap way to do it. Plus there seem to be a lot fewer kids than on RCL (or Disney ) so you don't have as much trouble with kids where they aren't supposed to be.

Haven't seen Marcie here in awhile, unless I overlooked her posts?

Sorry! And it's only going to get worse! We spent ALL day yesterday packing. I have 4 overstuffed duffle bags (luckily ski stuff is light at least so weight isn't a problem, only room!). Royce is out of town this week, so Matt drove him to the airport at 5am today so he could have the car!

Eric is doing a major "History Day" project at a local college, that is due today so of course it was crunch time. And of course, even though he has it all done (he created a website), he can't figure out how to get it onto the required CD's. I emailed the teacher in charge yesterday, who replied this morning that "he was kind of busy this week and didn't know if he'd get a chance to help Eric". Um, it's due to the college today?! Don't know why there wasn't some "cushion" time. So I took him in this morning and got him hooked up with the computer teacher who hopefully will be able to help him. If not, hey, we can just skip spending a whole Saturday at the college doing history - not my favorite subject!

The rest of solo/ensemble went okay. Eric did his snare drum solo, thought he did well, and got a 1 (best he could). He did his tuba solo and thought he did great, as did his band teacher who was there. Was hoping he'd make state for that (1*). Ended up getting a 2 which surprised both of them. His vibraphone solo, he thought he did terrible on ("that was the worst I've ever played it!"), and got a 1, so it all didn't make a lot of sense!

Stephen got a 1 on his highest level choir solo, which was awesome for him because he's never done choir before this year, and has done band for 5 years and never even done a highest level (A) song, nor gotten a 1. So now he's decided to stick with choir for another year, which he wasn't planning on before Saturday! Matt's ensemble did qualify for state, so he'll be there for that when Eric goes for piano.

Kind of funny story - at the end of the day, we were looking at the results and counting up how many kids were going to state total for piano (4 incidentally). Another lady was there, evidently doing the exact same thing. Asked who she was and she was a piano teacher and accompanist. Told her my son was one of the 4 and we talked about the song he played and his teacher etc. About then, Matt walked over and she asked "Oh, is this him?" and turned to congratulate him. Told her no. Stephen and Eric walked over and she next turned to congratulate Stephen. Again told her it wasn't him and pointed out Eric. She said with a really confused look "HIM?" She then asked him "Are you a freshman?" and he was like "No, 7th grade" and she was like ! Just really funny - nope, not him, nope, not him!

 

[marciemi]

More quick summaries! I'll do my best, but I really think next week I'm not going to have much internet access at all, let alone time!

Bad news is - while doing all my duffle bags, I got a scale down to weigh them. Which means I had to weigh me too. WOW! That was just a big mistake. So I think I need to be like everyone else and diet too. I asked others to try the scale, hoping it was just off, but it evidently was just me.

Funny story. Stephen's been saying since last year that he wants to work at Dairy Queen. (Evidently all the cool people work there). Well, the last week or so, when we've driven by, they have a "Now Hiring" sign. Saturday, since he was already dressed nicely for band, we recommended he go and fill out an application and just let them know he could start mid April (after his musical is over). So he goes in, starts filling out the application, and one of his 2 best friend comes in for the same reason! Neither of them had ever discussed it with one another - just coincidence that they came in at the same time! Now of course he's like "Cool - we can work together!"

Our corned beef and cabbage soup turned out awesome on Saturday night. We went out to a steak place last night to celebrate birthdays. Tonight the boys have math team and we have piano so it'll be a crazy night. AND they're predicting sleet/freezing rain and 3-5 inches of snow. Yeah, just what I need! Matt was supposed to drive to Math team to make life easier (I'd meet him there with Eric after piano), but I'm not letting him drive in that!

Well, back to packing. Again - I'll try! Thanks for thinking of me Rose! Hope your dad is doing better (Last I remember reading he was out of the hospital at least, but I could have missed a lot!). Good luck!
