The Official "We're not on the Podcast Cruise" Discussion thread

[kpadalik]

Hi everyone! I am Erika and I can't tell you how long we talked about being on a cruise at our Mother's Day cookout today. I would LOVE to be on the podcast cruise but even though I am not, still feeling lucky just the same as we arrive at WDW in 21 days to celebrate our daughters 21st birthday.

Fun things I am going to do this week while others are on the Podcast cruise; (in order of least fun to most fun) get the washing machine fixed, call the radiologist tomorrow to see if my son's arm was fractured today when he fell, catch up on work at work so you can see the top of my desk, buy a hairdryer that doesn't spark, finish ADRs for upcoming trip & graduate with my Masters Degree!

Look forward to chatting this week!

My goodness, you have a busy week! I hope your son's arm is okay and congratulations on your Master's Degree! Job well done!

Hi everyone!!

I'm joining the ranks of those of us who are left behind, anxiously waiting to hear about how much fun the Podcast cruisers had.

We couldn't go on the cruise because I'm 38 weeks pregnant and the silly cruise line thinks it's not a good idea for women to give birth on a ship! I think it's actually perfect! No worries about finding food, cleaning up or rocking the baby to sleep.

Ahh well, we do have a cruise planned for next year. Can't complain too much...just a little!

Congrats on your baby! Hope you have a quick and easy delivery.

Morning all! Hope you have a great day!!

Ooooohh!! hope I'm not too late to the party!!!

no sour-graping here, of course I'm happy for all the cruisers, with their Palo brunch, Disney Institute seminar, etc... yeah we're jealous?!?!?!

in the meantime, we should have a few similar events scheduled for us non-cruisers, so we can experience it just the same:

1. McDonald's brunch
2. Symposium with a, um, uh ... New Jersey! historian, followed by a Q&A (will also make it available online, for only 5 dollars)
3. Fish sticks extenders
4. Gift baskets filled with uh ... leftover easter candy
5. Bar tours ... TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesday's, etc.



Can you think of any more events for us?

Yay! Congratulations on graduating!! Hopefully your son's arm will be okay. I'll be sending some prayers your way.

1) McD's isn't my kind of place, but I will sit at my student's union cafe and have a sausage roll
2) I do a history degree, I can do a lecture on Britain in the 20th Century, the Second Wave feminist movement, Thatcher's Britain or the American Civil Rights movement I will do this for free! (good for revision)
3) mmmmm fish sticks, we call them fish fingers here!
4) You HAVE left over candy?????
5) Bar tours around the union bars sounds fun! May suggest it...
