[ICEMANPAD]

Ironically Gail, we will be going this spring too, but on march 29-april 5 which is Florida's spring break. Nice to hear from you again.

Hi all,

Well, the stockings that were hung with care, were ripped down with quite the fanfare....the packages that were wrapped with paper and bows, were ripped and shredded leaving trash that must now go....the dinners (yes there were 2 this year) that were so lovingly prepared, have now left my fridge stuffed with leftovers leaving the kids to stare (and tell me there's nothing to eat!).

Hope you all had wonderful holidays. I think in '09 I'm going to try and stay on the deserted island (Castaway Cay) and tell Santa to find me there!

The Long Family survived the holidays.... We hosted both families and had 9 people on Christmas Morning.... Now all the company is gone and we are back on track...

Lisa: We are arriving in Florida on April 4th and will be there until the 12 I think.... We are at the Floridian and Animal Lodge...... We hope to make it to Boca in early May.....

Looking forward to catching up on the boards....

Boca we will certainly be around for. We will be coming off the boat April 5, but could conceivably come over to the parks for a night, IF we don't have a wedding to attend on the 6th, and I dont know if we are on the invite list...but we might me...

Had dinner with the 5 J's, ok 2 of them anyway, last night, and hopefully they will be formally booking a cabin for 2009 Turkey Day week in the near future.

I certainly hope so. They were our 'next-door neighbors' on the 2005 cruise, and we enjoyed visiting with them in the hallway.

Rob and I (Rachel too, but she doesn't know) are seriously considering a Carnival cruise over spring break. It's the Carnival Destiny out of San Juan, and it visits a port each day. (In addition to St. Maarten and St. Thomas, it also goes to Antigua, and the Dominican Republic (where it overnights.) I can't remember the other islands. ) I know, it's not as wonderful as DCL, but it's good enough to 'hold us' until Thanksgiving 09. The price is good too. I'll have to post a trip report here (if we go.)

Hello all

Arrived home safe and sound from Cape Cod and back to Laconia NH - Gosh I love my hometown. The three hour ride was not great but that is ok. We took the time to talk about what we want to do on the islands on our cruise. DH wants to get off each port and just explore with out DCL excursions. So I am looking for any idea's and thoughts on this. What are our MUST see's

One of my 'must see's' in St. Thomas is Magen's Bay. It is breathtaking!

Hello everyone. It sounds like everyone had a wonderful Holiday. I just finished reading all of the posts and I really want to book for Thanksgiving 09. I have to do some more work on the DH. We booked the Magic out of LA in July. Wendy, Maddie wants Lindsey to go with us.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving cruise and hopefully we will see you all again in 09.

Have a wonderful New Year.

Wendy, tell Lindsey that Maddie will call her real soon.

Let me correct a prior post...while we will still be around for Boca in May, i forgot we have tix for the Wicked matinee in Fort Lauderdale on the 6th...and that wedding is actually the night of the 5th, so rushing back to South Florida either way when we get off the boat...

We just signed up for T-day 2009, our first Disney Cruise. We can't wait!!!!!

Just an inside cabin, couldn't afford the $8,000 + for a veranda for four (2 adults and 2 children). I was also amazed that instead of one cabin for four people, you can get two cabins with two people each for only about $700.00 difference. We have small children so it doesn't matter, but for bigger children that's not much difference.

Hi Wendy-
We wish we could see ya'all while you are at WDW. However, like Chuck said, due to a wedding and Wicked, we will be heading straight home after the Magic. Now, if you want to start your vacation a week early...on the Magic!!! That would be great!!!

Hi all,

The new year brought colds and flu to our house. I'd definitely run out and buy stock in P&G right now as I think we have bought Target and Walmart out of Puffs Plus!

Steve is still running into work everyday and today is my 1st day back...can you tell it's not a productive day? I keep telling him that (with the lows the past few nights in the single digits) we need to move to warmer climates!

Hope everyone is doing well.

Are any of the cabins "connecting" like in some hotels? If so, how can one tell?

Good morning all - from very snowyyyyy NH - we have over 53 inches of snow in my back yard!! EEEk....

This year started out UGH for us here. A friend and coworker passed away on new years day of a heart attack - he was only 45..

Then we got a call that my mothers' husband (I do not consider him my step father ) was in the hospital and they could be removing his foot!

Thennnnnnn my dog got very very ill...so we thought he got into something in the garage...he is still in the hospital and they found that he had doggie pancreatitis...very serious but hopefully we caught it in time... $1000 of our vacation money going to this one....but I just want my furry baby home....**Update --- doc just called - puppy is wanting to come home --- he is howling and clawing the cage and wagging his tail...

Our Midwest Vacation is in 187 days - but I wish it was our cruise....

Ohhh yea -- yesterday my staff came running into my office asking for a special break....I was like - is there a REASON you all want to go on break together today... "BILL CLINTON is next door having breakfast" LOL so most of my staff went running and he talked to them and gave them autographs and pics...very very funny... one of my staff told him that my daughter had met Hillary when she visited the office where we work and he said "oh well if Renee met Hillary and like her - here is something special for her" and he gave her all kinds of things....very sweet... DD liked that one....

Ok I got to run now -- my 13 yr old puppy is coming home...
