Well, online check in when without a hitch. I will request when we show up that my son not be given charging privileges.

 

[Muushka]

Ha! That is what Mr Muush does to me!! I always seem to lose my room key. Just kidding. Mostly.

Hey! 1 week from now we will be crusing down I4 to our happy place!!!

Hey I just realized today is my day to call MS for my next Florida trip, we'll start with SSR and in 4 months try to get into the lodge! Unless I'm able to become an owner before then!

So you can do these in advance now? How cool. I remember in 2000 or 2001 that I had to run from the Palo reservations to the spa reservations once we got on the ship, I don't even remember if we did excursions, just remember the parasailing was so cool!

Yes, depending on your status as a Castaway Club member or if you have never cruised is the amount of days before your trip you can book into the various activities and such.

Most of all, looking forward to seeing some familiar faces, and seeing seeing some new ones. Its like finally meeting that long lost cousin that you had heard about, corresponded with, but face to face will finally happen!!

I so wish Kati and I were joining y'all this year, I will be thinking of you as we go about our humdrum activities.

Oh yay for looking forward to cruising!
And a really big yay for chemo without side effects!!!!


Well I just got home from my big Black Friday shopping. My friend and I are usually out until about 3 in the afternoon (get up at 4 AM!) but this year I think the sales were pretty lame. Well, except for Band Hero for $75 for me!!!

She has just had a great outlook the last few days. Amazing how different she is from just a couple of months ago. Hope it continues for a long time.

I agree with the Black Friday. I usually spend a huge amount of money at Staples getting my programs and such for the new year. I didn't get hardly anything this year. But I did get a bit from Bath and Body. . . I love that place especially when they have buy 3 get 3 free!!!

We met the breeder at Petco yesterday so we could see her champion Schipperke in the same color as our puppy Cindy. The dog is beautiful! Now I can't wait for January 15 when Cindy will be 8 weeks old and able to come home with us. The first picture is of the breeder and Dru, her 2 1/2 year old cream Schipperke. The second is of my husband to show the size of the dog (small!) and the big smile on his face after seeing what Cindy will look like! Cindy will actually be even a little smaller than Dru (who is 17 lbs) as her mom is only 11 lbs.

 

[wildernessDad]

What a neat little dog! Makes me want a dog after all of these years with cats!

 

[horselover]

Inkmahm - what a cute dog!

 

[blossomz]

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I was out of town in Philly. Saw Jersey Boys...great show!

Wish I was heading down to the lodge...but alas...February will soon be here!

Inkmahm love the puppy!

Still have one more day to relax before heading back to my busy classroom!

If only I could share a visual . . . .

At 5:30 AM this morning, Dizny Di peaked out from the warm down comforter, only eyes showing, and whispered, "only three more sleeps"! So cute!

And I was off to the office; thinking it was really only two more "get your butt out of bed" mornings until I can sleep in 'till 6:30 at The Lodge (hot tub will be calling!).

Keep a couple of open spots at the hot tub. . .four more wake-ups before we hit the Lodge.

I just acquired a VWL contract through the Timeshare Store! I'm thinking of making a reservation for a 2BR and wanted to know if there were any requests I should make. I know there aren't View options but I heard some people say that you should request near the elevators or near the WL side because the hallways are very long and you don't want to be at the opposite end of the hallway.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Well, a great big Andy's Room welcome for ......oops, sorry A great big Groupie welcome for KyleRayner!

I don't get into too much of the room recommendations because what is great for one may not be so great for another.

But, grab yourself a rocking chair and make yourself comfy. We LOVE new groupies.
Oh, and grab yourself a VWL Moosie, he will look GREAT on you!!
