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

Good Evening All!

I am one tired DISer/Grandma today. After getting about 2 hours of sleep after booking ressies, we attended our GD's baptism - about 1.5 hours away. It was well worth it, but I am so tired.

Renee -- DH and Bob (our cruising friend) will be on the Bubba fishing trip in St. Maarten. I saw that excursion waiting for 3am to arrive and it's almost $30 less than fishing at CC.

Good Night All!!!

JD,
Welcome to our quiet reserved little group.
We were on the Magic on 8/5, is that the same cruise as you???

We are going again too, so it's not too soon!!
It's never too soon, we did a 3 day in May too.

Looking forward to seeing some more posts from you soon!!

Denise, OUCH!!!!
I fractured 3 of my toes last year by walking into the wall while I was vacumming. No I wasnt Still dont know how I did it, but I did have a lot of pain for a couple of weeks.
Here is some to speed up your recovery.



good night all you nana heads and wild turkeys

Hi gang!

Denise - got a digital camera? I hope you're going to ask for your money back on that iron - Bet you'll get it!

I wouldn't have been upset if I hadn't awakened, but quarter of 3 came, the lights were on and I was bright eyed and busy tailed. It's amazing how much faster the boards are in the middle of the night!

Really looking forward to going to lunch in Parrot Cay and being able to relax and not have to think about making ressies.

Woogal, it must have been the day for cooking - Zuccini bread sounds great - rainy here too and I made the next four days meals. (We leave for Ohio on Thursday).

Sleep well!

 

[jd99]

No we were on the Aug. 12 Western. I think we're thinking it's too soon only because we will have to take DD8 out of school for four days...but we are slowly getting over that since we have taken her out the past two years - a whole week when she was in K and 2 1/2 days last year ..both for WDW trips..and she is none the worse for it. We try to take a trip of some kind every 3-4 months..but rarely repeated anything like this in one year let alone a few months...that's how much we liked it.

 

[disneediva]

And you talk about me Wendy!!!! Typing in the driveway....ships horn on start-up...(ok, so I sat for 45 minutes waiting for the Wonder to pass the two palms cam....you cant prove a thing!

Well AH do declare Mutt I have no idea what you are talking about, my southern upbringing would never allow me to speak an ill word about someone especially mans best friend Ok OK I had to stop I was making myself sick.

Welcome JD I hope you can convince your wife we are a great bunch of nanas .
Well guys I am off to bed I is a tired nana tonight,

Wendy

I didn't get up at 3 am but I was still able to get everything I wanted except for High Tea at 8:30 Sunday morning.
We have brunch on Monday, Palo Dinner on Thursday (our anniversary) and we are doing the rasul on Tuesday. We did it before when it was still called the Suriel bath.
We had a busy weekend. We took our two godson's to see Cars at the Drive in Friday night, Saturday we went out to dinner with some friends and Sunday after church we had a baptism (our oldest Godson was baptised) and a church picnic. (inside since it was raining )

at least we have a three day weekend coming up

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Good morning,
Athene, you still have a drive in movie theater??? I loved drive in movies when I was younger, lots of memories there
Wish we still had them.

well I am sitting here hearing the dreaded word of the week, ERNESTO!!!
That is all that anyone is talking about today. I do feel badly for the Wonders thursday cruisers. depending on what it does on wednesday they could have delayed flights or have the ship have to dock at a different port, then they have to race to try and get there on time. If you have booked DCL transportation it wouldnt be a problem but lots just rent a car.
There has to be alot of stressed out people out there today!!!

I too sit there waiting for the ship to pass the two palms web cam every saturday and sunday that we are home. So you are NOT alone!!! I know I need to get a life on the weekends Dinner does not get fixed until the ship has passed!!!

well time to run out and fill up my gas tank, just in case. We have a generator and some gas cans that are already filled, I have lots of bottled water and food and the propane in the BBQ is pretty filled for cooking too, so we are ready. I even have a new flashlight.

Denise, How is the toe today??

Jeff: I want to extend our welcome and hopes that you and your family will be joining us. This is an interesting group, but they seem pretty harmless overall!

To All you Nana Heads: I hope you had a great weekend and I hope this week is great to you! I am looking forward to the extended weekend. Hopefully, I will be able to finish up at my client's a little early this week, and maybe get a four day weekend!

 

[sptweedle]

Kathy,
There is a drive in theatre close to you. As you know, we live pretty close to each other and if you take 441 north, half way between Belleview and Ocala there is a drive in on the left, should only be about a 30 minute drive for you guys. They do play new releases so you won't have to go see Attack from Planet Mars.

Jeff-read your trip report, look forward to meeting you guys, if you join in.

See you guys later


Steve

Good morning Banana Heads

JEFF AND FAMILY!!! By posting on this thread, you are now official Banana Heads as well! It's never too soon for another DCL! I'll PM some info to you about our Cruisemate List shortly. Oh BTW ... GO BROWNS!

Here's some easy shopping, especially for those of us with a broken toe (OUCH!). Disney Store website has a really cute Mickey Photo Tote marked down to $9.99. I would bet that I'll see at least one of you carrying this on the ship!! http://disneyshopping.go.com/DSSectionPage.process?Merchant_Id=2&Section_Id=13840&Product_Id=190595

Denise, even though you broke your toe, I totally understand the need to go to Target. It's a woman's duty, regardless of the pain!!! (Hey, check your PM).

Kelly, you got a from me! I don't usually have that much energy ... but it comes in spurts when it does! I usually can't figure out what to make for dinner either!

Lynn and Cheri, enjoy the recipe. I hope you love it as much as I do! (See Bill? SOME people like my zucchini bread!)

Jamie, I have a confession to make. I'm not really a Johnny fan, but a Capt. Jack fan (if that makes any sense to you). So if Johnny's on the cruise and not in Capt. Jack attire (complete with accent), then you can have him!

Linda: Drive safe this week . Hope it's a short, smooth ride!

Bob: Just saw your post. Don't you ALWAYS get an extended weekend?? I think I remember you saying something about you never work on Friday afternoons ... and of course you don't get to work until like noon on Mondays!!!

Gotta run for now ...

Hmmm...let's see. WHO was it that couldn't bear to drag their self out of bed in order to get the ressies they wanted? Let's see, I was on the computer at 3:00 a.m.....

And, I probably left the house for work before you even woke up this morning!

 

[DutchsMommy]

Welcome JD - hope you come aboard! The decorations will definately be up - complete with 'snow' at CC - Lampy has a great family pic on CC that he used for christmas cards. It's in this thread somewhere!

Denise - sorry about the toe - that's a major . Try and stay off it as much as possible - obviously you are making a good start by traipsing around Target . Mind you, if we had Target in Canada I would likely be there too! You guys keep talking about such cool stores - Target, Kohl's etc. and I am sad 'cause we have a pretty lame selection up here. Oh well, I have no money anyway so maybe it's a good thing!

Glad to hear everyone got most if not all the ressies they wanted.
We are:
Palo Dinner Friday 8pm
Palo High Tea Thursday 3pm (may cancel this one)
Spa Villa Monday 2:30pm (thank God for our re-booking credit as this one hurts the old pocketbook!!!!!!!)

The owner of the barn where I ride unfortunately had a fall on the x-country course at the World Equestrian Games so is eliminated. Too bad, as x-country is generally his strength. It's gotta be depressing to travel all the way to Germany and get eliminated half way through. But, he is OK and his horse is OK so all is well.

Fingers crossed for everyone in FL and along the coast that Ernesto passes you on by.

BTW - you all are a chatty bunch for sure - I didn't log on during the weekend and had like 5 pages to read through!

Talk to you all soon!!!!!!!

Good Morning All:

You have been a chatty bunch. I got on to make ressie yesterday morning and I had to spend 20-30 minutes catching up. We got some of the ressie's we wanted. We got the Golden Catamaran in St Marteen and the Captain Natica in St Thomas (zoom zoom on speed boats). I didn't get the brunch on Thursday at Palo's I wanted so I will most likely wait until the first timers get a chance and try along with them to get a ressie for Thursday (its my Husband's birthday).

I hope everyone stays safe with all the storms and hurricane in the forecast. We have rain today, but then back to normal tempatures of 80's and 60's at night. (Fall is almost here).

Welcome to JD99, we hope that you are able to join us. Most of us are quite normal, other than our obsession with DCL.

Happy Monday to everyone.

Tonya, which of the Golden Eagle excursions did you choose; morning or afternoon? I am sure you will be able to get Thursday brunch once we get onboard the ship, so I wouldn't fret about it.

I hope that everyone is having a great Monday....

Bob I choose the AM Golden Eagle. I want to have time to look around the island after we get done. It looks like Im not the only one from the boards that chose that ressie. I feel sorry for the tour operator. Bunch of nana heads on board.
