Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[woogal]

A simple conversation to my dw in Las Vegas....MGM....Flying Monkey Bar.
DW: Did you get yourself a drink over at the bar?
Mutt: No!
DW: ....and why?
Mutt: I wanted a banana daquiri....how in the name of everything holy can a bar named "The Flying Monkey" NOT have a banana daquiri?

Folks, that is an honest-to-gawd true story. And I've heard about the stupid Flying Monkey Bar and its lack of banana daquiri's repeatedly over the last 10 years. Pity me.

WELCOME LISA!!! So good to finally have you with us!!!

Lisa,
I knew there was a better half lurking out there somewhere for Tiggerking!
Glad to have you with us, jump right in and start posting.
It is a crazy group here so you can post about anything and fit right in with the crowd!!
We ladies need all the help we can get to keep one up on the guys on this thread!!!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon, afterall we will be neighbors on the ship, our rooms are right next to each other!

I do not need therapy.
Bananas a"peel" to me...its not a crime!

You know, you were okay in pushing the blame to your wife until that lame last sentence. Now, not only should you be required to attend therapy, but you must also attend PA (puns anonymous). I am sure that it will be a real dog of a course for you!

Happy Friday everyone....we finally made it to the weekend....and I'm off of work today.... a nice four day weekend.....anyhow, my DH and I are going out for dinner tonight to celebrate our belated anniversary which was on 5-12. So I talked him in to taking off, thinking that we could do someting...as in antique shopping or maybe downtown Chicago and go to Navy Pier (never been), but guess what won out???? We are going to do Yard work...plant flowers and such. I am not really happy about this, but what can I say... Oh well, at least I am going to get a nice
dinner out of this later today. Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the holiday...

Speaking of car talk!
DH and I are car shopping tomorrow.
We have not bought a car in 9 years, so I think it's about time.
We have put 180,000 miles on our dodge stratus in that time, and things are starting to break...
Oh well, DH has had his eye on the PT Cruisers since they came out, so now he can have his car.
Have a great weekend!!!! I can't believe we are within the 6 month time frame before our cruise!! I have to pack!!!

I never told you it was pork. I told you to guess. You guessed pork and I didnt confirm or deny

It was actually Sheep toungue. Most people from Turkey dont eat pork for religious reasons.

I ate it at lunch and my friend ordered for me in turkish so i didnt know what i was eating either, And I had to eat it. He was paying for lunch and I didnt want to offend him.

I still get a laugh out of that story.


you didnt seem to mad at me ....

I could never be mad at you....you're too cute. We definately work to much, we're having a little spat on the Dis boards for goodness sake!!!! GET ME ON THAT CRUISE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dandy8]

I, too, am waiting for Southwest to release their 11/24 dates! I have us all lined up to come home free on AirTran (courtesy of Wendy's cups!) but no tickets to Florida yet.

Southwest extended their booking to October 27th this morning. I guess it will be July before we'll be able to book November........


Have a great Memorial weekend everyone!!!! We are looking at nice weather here in the Big Apple area.

 

[cruisemutt]

I am now going to really be compulsive about checking.
Once I have my Tickets I will be so happy. I hate waiting.

Amen to that......I have 4 roundtrip free tickets I'd like to use and since they limit the amount of award tickets per flight I don't want to get shut out.

Happy Long Weekend everyone!

DH and I are heading to Morgantown, WV tomorrow morning and will return to mid-Michigan Monday evening. We are visiting our DS, DDIL, and two angelic grandchildren. Our plans almost changed as my DD (in Michigan) was having some contractions Wednesday evening. When she goes into labor, I'm taking care of DGS who is 2. DD is due in late June; this baby will be grandchild #6!

Six months from now (Sunday, 11/26) I hope to be seated at dinner, followed by an evening at Rockin Bar D or Promenade Lounge.

Love those BBCs; can't wait for my "nutrition" juice.

Kathy: I've never watched American Idol, Desperate Housewives, The Office, etc. I seldom turn on the TV, but when I do, I usually watch the cable news shows.

I am a bookaholic though. I'm almost done reading James Patterson's 4th of July.

If anyone is driving or going to drive this weekend, have a safe trip.

We were the same way, and unfortunately with Delta you have to book your skysaver tickets almost the day that they become available (like 331 days in advance), since they limit them per flight so much. And bad news for us, we did not know we were going on this cruise again when they became available, so it was a major pain....we are going to cancel our credit card with them because we are always getting shut out. It's getting old not being able to use the tickets we rightfully earn.

Are there any younger kids traveling with any of you besides Dutchsmommy? I have a DD12, and a DD10 that would love to email or correspond with other girls close to their ages. It makes it more fun for them.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

JanDave,
hope you have a great trip!
I am glad to hear I am not alone for not seeing American Idol. When a neighbor says somerhing about it and i say I never watched it they look at me as if I were crazy!!
Let us know when #6 arrives

My girls are through having kids now, so we are stuck at 4 GK's. The boys arnt married and are NOT thinking about getting married and adding to our awesome 4 some. I really dont want to rush them, but I hope someday they will make a contribution, while I'm still around to enjoy them.

We have had some more brush fire problems in central Florida. The main road to the port was closed on friday again, not sure about saturday. Yesterday we had another brush fire that closed some main roads, but it was near Kissimmee, so it didnt bother the routes to the port. No injuries or lossod houses so far

Well I hope everyone is having a good extra long weekend.

ummm Kathy how old are your boys??? I have a single daughter that I'm waiting on.....!!! I already told her she is on a deadline, she's only got about 4-5 years to go....I told her I didnt want to be to old to be grandma...riding around in one of the motorized chairs..running over the grandkids... she just goes along with me..however no serious boyfriend yet.

Denise

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Wendy, I wish you a Magical trip!!!!
The weather has been very hot here in central florida. In the 90's everyday and with the humidy our heat index has been over 100 a couple of times recently. So bring the sunblock you will need it!!!!

Denise my boys are 31 and 23, soon to be 24.

Is that the right age group
She would have to love fishing and hunting and video games!!! Fishing and hunting seem to be their entire world at times, camping too!!
Let me know,
Kathy

 

[Dixielady908]

Kathy, she is 26, shes been fishing and camping not sure how much she enjoys it....anyway she lives in colorado, she is in the army. she is my little "army chick". I just love to tease her about being single..she takes it all in stride.

Denise

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi Denise,
at least we are fairly close on the age group here
Eventually my boys are both moving back to Oregon to live. That is our home state, we will eventually get back there too. Colorado isnt that far from Oregon, so who knows??? I'm sure stranger things have happened!!

We finally got a little rain last evening, maybe a 1/2 inch. We really need it badly here. Florida is very dry.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
Kathy

 

[cruisemutt]
