The “What Exit Are You From?” Trip Report – Magic 11/4/06 (NEW POST 12/10)

[tyedye]

Have enjoyed reading your report. What was the weather like this week? And was the sea rough at all? We're booked for this week next year.

Unsure what a visit to the infirmary entailed, I was thankful that I had purchased trip insurance in case I was about to incur medical expenses. Always thinking about the bottom line, even in times of crisis.

Yup, that's me too. Our families are cut from the same mold! And now that I know you're a lawyer, your trip reports take on new meaning for me! Chuck and I met on the 1st day of law school.

The weather, for the most part, was good. The weather was a little overcast at the start of the cruise and we got caught in a heavy rain for about an hour in Grand Cayman, but other than that very nice. We did have rough seas the first couple of nights, but thankfully no one in my party was affected. I wouldn't hesitate to sail again this week and, in fact, plan on doing so again (but not next year).

We are booked for next year, it will be our third year in a row going that particular week. We have always had nice weather.

Hi Janet, thanks for the kind words. I am indeed with a law firm in Central/South Jersey (depending on where you draw the line). Do we know each other? Have you learned things from my TR that you'll be able to use against me? Should I put my firm's malpractice carrier on notice?

Nope, I don't think we know each other personally, but I can usually tell a lawyer from their writing. Of course, I can always look you up in Martindale LOL!

Nothing has been said that requires malpractice insurance. Really enjoying your report. Just wondered if we had crossed paths in the past.

love the trip report, as I was on my way to Rockaway mall I heard a song I heard on the disney magic and got excited

Your trip report is great! It sounds like your "cast of characters" had a wonderful time.

BTW...we're trying to determine when 2008 'Jersey Week' will be. Is it the first week in November? Thanks for your help.

The 2008 Convention dates are Nov 6 & 7 so the NJ week cruise would be November 1st (Western again). You can view all future convention dates here: http://www.njea.org/page.aspx?a=1965

Thanks SweetSpot! I was hoping it would be the first week of Nov.! It looks like this Pennsylvania family will be joining Jersey in 2008!

I just sat and read all 9 pages of your trip report - great job and very entertaining! Although my own 4 children are much older than yours now, it brought back many memories of traveling with them when they were younger. We never had the pleasure of taking grandparents with us, your kids are very lucky ! Thanks for such a fun report to read!

Jersey week is usually the week of Election Day, so it may be earlier or later depending on the 1 Tuesday of the month.

I sort of fizzled out on finishing this TR last month. I came checking on 2008 sailing dates and *poof* a couple of posts to my "old" TR. I need to finish this up before the remaining installment(s) fade from memory.

As for 2008, I'm presently trying to decide between Jersey Week 2008 which is the same Western sailing as the one I just did for Jersey Week 2006 vs. Thanksgiving 2008 which is a double dip. If it were just me deciding, I'd go with Thanksgiving, but we're going to have a large travel party next time around and I need to do some checking with others. Decisions, decisions.

jsfein...I can only hope you'll be on the Jersey week cruise! This time no blackberry, and only one type of ER visit! Oh my, too funny!

 

[SweetSpot]

It's a shame NJ week has been the Western so many times in a row. Our first 3 were Easterns but it seems it will continue to fall in the Western cycle for a couple more years. Regardless of the itinerary, we have always had amazing weather and the most wonderful people cruising with us. I love NJ week cruises!!

SweetSpot...will you be on the 2008 Jersey week cruise?

I have to agree with SweetSpot, we have had amazing weather the past 2 years that we have been on the NJ week cruise. We absolutely love that week, so much we are going again this coming Nov. We have also made some wonderful friends on those cruises!!!

Hi Jason

We are booking Thanksgiving 2008, hope you guys are there.

Hi Mike, nice to hear from you and Happy New Year. I remember you telling me that you were shooting for Thanksgiving 2008. It seems like at least a few DIS-ers from our sailing are also shooting for Thanksgiving week. That double dip sure would be nice. My party of 8 from the last cruise will probably be a party of 15 for the next one. If the consensus is to sail Thanksgiving, I'll surely let you know.
