Hey Cheri & family! Welcome to the group! Theres only 4 months 4 weeks according to my lil clock so ya better shape up fast! First post, indeed!
A couple of ground rules for ya....whatever woogal says about Tiggerking--don't believe it. Whatever Tiggerking says about Woogal--don't believe it. Kathy, Tonya, Wendy and EVERYONE that posts here are really nice, fun people. Last and most important....Cruisemutt is just full of it so don't believe ANYTHING he says...(wait a sec...thats me, isn't it?) Strile that last ground rule.
Again, Welcome aboard!

Welcome Cheri and family, gee were almost neighbors.....

This is a crazy crowd so be careful....Hope your ready for tons of fun....

Happy Wednesday to everyone. It was a beautiful day here today. Although they are still calling for rain....
Tiggerking: sorry to hear about your A/C. My dad bought a new condo about 7 yrs ago and 2 weeks ago had to put in a whole new A/C. I felt bad for him...poor guy is 91, I hated to see him have to dish out that kind of money . Well we are now another day closer....boy time is sure flying by.

Welcome Cheri and family


Hope you are ready to

We are a lively group here, lots of great people

I am looking forward to getting to know you over the next 4 months.

Before you know it you will have afew hundred posts, you will feel like something is missing in your life if you go a day without posting

It is addictive, just like crusing,

kathy

Hello all and thanks for the "Welcome Aboard"!

Yes, Kathy, this is addictive -- DH is already chuckling about my new obsession.

I must confess that I haven't read all 80+ pages of posts on this thread yet -- but I'm sure I can get up to speed soon!

A little about our trip plans -- we're scheduled for late seating dinner. DD(5YO) has already informed us that she'll be eating with the kids' group for almost every meal. We'll see. . . In fact, I have a feeling we won't see much of the kids if their plans hold true.

We've reserved a nice little stateroom in steerage -- I mean Deck 1. It's actually the same one we had on the Wonder in August 05, and it worked quite well for us. (Please don't tell me how much nicer a private verandah is -- I'll have to start working even more to pay for the next cruise!!!)

With all the extra exercise, we plan to do lots of eating & drinking!!! LOL

4 months & 4 weeks to go -- sounds MUCH better than 5 months!

Have a great day everyone -- off to work to help pay for "Magic!"

Cheri:

Where are you staying the night before the cruise, (if you are)? We are at the Raddison in Coco Beach.

I think as time gets closer we (with the late & early seating) are going to link ressies. We would love you to join us. Last cruise we has about 100 people from the boards linked together and it was great.

If you want to PM 4foxesinpa(?spelling), she is keeping the master spread sheet with everyones name, room number, etc.

Our party consists of Me, DH and DS who turns 10 on the first day of the cruise. (lucky man). My husband's birthday is on the 30th. So we will be celebrating a lot. My birthday is in the middle of hurricane season so I will be celebrating at the pool rather than in the carribean. (hint hint, its the same day Pirates of the Carribean 2 comes out) Yippeeeee

Welcome to your new obession and we look forward to hearing all about your family.

 

[woogal]

Andy, I love your Steamboat Willie! Where did you find that?

 

[Dandy8]

AS FOR WHERE I LIVE IN NEW YORK I LIVE IN ORANGE COUNTY- MIDDLETOWN . I LIVE ABOUT 15 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE WOODBURY COMMONS OUTLETS. WHAT PART OF LONG ISLAND DO YOU LIVE IN. MY UNCLE LIVES IN EAST MEADOW
LYNN

WELCOME CHERI & RUNA! (I'm trying to play catch up since I haven't been on the boards in awhile). Andy99 is my hubby so you'll see him posting. We have 1 DD (6- she'll be 7 at the time of the trip) and 1 DS (4). We'll be traveling with my parents and our friends who have 2 DDs (4 & 5).

Kathy, Congratulations on your new family member!

Lynn, We live in Medford which is approx. 50 miles east of New York City and east of East Meadow. So glad we have a fellow New Yorker! These rains have missed us here on the island. We're hearing about all of the floods upstate, PA & MD.

Little less that 5 months to go and still no Southwest Bookings!!!! I'm driving myself crazy!!!

Happy Thursday To Everyone,
How is everybody!! Well it started out a nice hot day and now we are back to more rain and very bad thunderstorms!! I am soooooooooo tired of rain. Just 1/2 from my house they are flooded out from all this rain !! This weekend we have a busy weekend. Saturday we are having a BBQ and then Sunday it's off to my in-laws for a BBQ. DS is going for his 1st set of shots at the doctor on Monday. I have my DH going with me because I don't like that kind of stuff ! Well I have to get some wash done while the baby is sleeping. Talk to you tomorrow !!!
Lynn

Denise: Do you need my address now??

 

[TiggerKing]

Cheri: Welcome aboard to you and your family! We are glad to have you with our "unique" little group. You should watch out for WooGal though, she tends to start pretty early in the morning. CruiseMutt (her DH) tries to keep her under control, but he does have to leave her sometime during the day to pay for her cruise obsession!

We are a fun group and it will be time to climb aboard before you know it. And by the way, the only difference between a Cat 9 and a Cat 6 (besides the price) is the deck. You will LOVE your room. DW and I stayed in 2098 on our first cruise!

 

[Dixielady908]

Denise: Do you need my address now??

Lynn, am I missing something? Who know's these days things do tend to leave me rather quickly.....can you refresh my memory please.....thanks Denise....


Happy Thursday everyone.....it was another beautiful day here. I just came back in from watering the garden, which is doing really well this year. I am already getting plenty of tomatoes and peppers.....

Plus my DH sold his Harley on tuesday!!!! yea The stroy behind this is, he purchased the Harley he sold, about 4 years ago. IT was used but a really nice bike. So July of last year, we fly to Colorado to visit our daughter. She say's hey dad, there's a Harley store here, would you like to go and get a T-shirt? He say's yes. We go. DD and I go look at T-shirts. He starts looking at bikes. DD & I are wating for him by the t-shirts. He never show's up. We go back by the bikes. DH say's hey look at this bike isnt is nice. I say yes. He say's can I buy it. I say no. We "flew" here. I dont think we can fit it in the overhead. He say's please! I say no. He say's they deliver. I say no. So the bike is delivered about 3 weeks later. It's a beautiful bike. Now we have two. Only one person "rides". So we now have to sell. Gee it only took about 11 months to sell the darn thing. But hey if he's happy, then I'm happy. Oh yeah, he did not get a t-shirt and he is grounded from entering any Harley store.

Have a great evening everyone....

HI Veronica,

We are PLANNING to stay at the Hyatt at the airport on Friday night. Should probably make reservations!!! We did book the DCL bus so we'll see how well that works.

We had also thought about a one-night stint at a WDW resort, but since our flight doesn't arrive until about 3:30, it would be a waste. I also found out that the DCL buses don't leave WDW till after 12:00. We want to be at PC as soon as we can!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone in the group!

Cheri

Denise, this sounds like me. A few years ago I went to a bike shop to buy a new helmet and ended up buying a new bike. Fortunately though, DW rides with me. She was actually the one who talked me INTO buying the new bike. I had talked myself out of it! And, yes, I do have two bikes, but she doesn't drive.

 

[TIGGER41681]

Happy Friday to Everyone !!
It is a nice Sunny day (finally) here in New York. Sorry Denise I was referring to Tonya with the address comment. My mind is gone now that I have a child !! Tonya when do you need the address and sizes . I want to buy myself some a nice tennis bracelett when we go to St.Thomas everybody knew of a good place to go?? Well I am going to clean the house and then off to Kohls to buy a outfit for my son's Baptism and more clothes for the cruise !!! Talk to you soon!!!
Lynn

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

It's Friday at last!!!

It seems we are another week closer to our cruise

Today is my big day, the doggie stork is arriving this afternoon!
My DH was teasing me because i cleaned the house floors extra good and picked up things that are not dog friendly. My house isnt this clean for company
Still trying to pick a name. family members took a vote and most said Minnie and a few said Pixie. So it will probably be one of those two names.
I was thinking about Buttercup until my little grandaughter said I couldnt do that because Buttercup was the name of the bad Powerpuff girl on cartoons and the puppy isnt a bad puppy.
Lots of here today. Lots of thunderstorms each day too!

I finally got a few things for the cruise while I was at the store yesterday. Now I can get started on my door signs.

well I am off to do grocery shopping this morning before the heat really sets in. I am usually out to the store by 8n a.m. on hot days so the frozen food will stay frozen.
Have a fantastic day everyone,

kathy

WOOHOO! 5 day weekend for me!!

Bill asked this morning before he left for WORK (hahahaha) what I was going to do on my vacation day. I said ... a load of laundry, wash the dog and take him to get his nails trimmed, vacuum, weed the garden, pay the bills ... He said, "You just really don't understand vacation, do you?!"

But that's OK cause we have a full weekend with my parent's 50th anniversary party on Sunday. Festivities begin tomorrow so really we only have Monday and Tuesday for ourselves. I don't want to waste those days! I laid out last Saturday to get a little color for the party and cooked myself very nicely (read: LOBSTER) ... and today I am peeling like a snake shedding its skin. Not quite the look I was going for!

Denise: thanks for the laugh ! Great story. I like how you almost had your DH under control! Keep trying ... they break eventually! Funny, but I'm the one that has tried to get Bill to buy a bike in the past but to no avail

Lynn: Going to Kohl's?!!! You're my kind of gal! Isn't that the greatest place to shop?? It's like an addiction for me. I just here the word and I'm off!

Kathy: You know I'm all for Pixie! But I'm excited to hear from you once you have your new kid home! Post pics!

 

[DutchsMommy]

Welcome Cheri!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Sarah, and will be travelling with DH Stony and DS Dutch. Dutch will be a few months shy of 5 when we travel. With your little one and Dandy's bunch we are getting closer to our own little 'rat pack'! I am hoping the little ones can exchange pics and maybe a few words via e-mail/DIS prior to the trip. I think if DS 'knows' a few kiddos beforehand he will likely have a better time in the Club. We currently have early dinner ressies, but I am liekly to change them to link with the DIS group at late seating - which is kinda contingent on DS spending alot of time in the Club. But....if all else fails I'm sure we'll be able to manage. Favoriteslave is arranging t-shirts for us and and mentioned 4foxesinPA is keeping track of all of us and our room #s etc. We're FINALLY getting closer to our BIG DAY - YEA!!!!! And the summer will likely fly by as it always does, so DCL here we come. We are staying at the new Residence Inn ( i think that;s the name?) in Cocoa Beach the night before. I think Dandy8 is as well??? So our kiddos might meet. If you havn;t booked the Hyatt yet, maybe you want to come down to PC the night before??

Hope everyone is well - Kathy keep us UTD on the little Minnie (can you tell which one I like LOL). My dog's name is Huck - had to name her in about 30 seconds when I made a snap decision to adopt her from the Humane Society about 10 years about and somehow came up with Huck (like Huck Finn). Finally coming into some nice weather here. This weekend is Canada Day (July 1st) and we are going out on a friends boat to watch the fireworks - should be great fun.

Gotta go to a meeting - take care everyone!

Yes we're staying at the Residence Inn the night of the 24th. I have to figure out how to post pics on this thing.....

Have a great weekend everyone!! It's going to be hot hot hot in NY.
