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

[TiggerKing]

Shell: Tell Mutt this is one area I won't side with him on. One of the first 2 cd's I put int he convertible was Pyromania! I would be there in a heartbeat, given the opportunity!

Runa: The secret Santa/Nana sounds like a great idea. I have seen several threads where cruisers used the 2 or 3 pocket holders (they called them fish something because they hung on the fish outside the cabin) and they would leave cards and little gifts for fellow cruisers. Since we are cruising during school, I honestly don't believe we will have as much of an issue with kids running wild on the ship. Maybe Ron and others who have cruised during this time can comment.

Those Packing Already: You crack me up! I will probably pack on Thursday night after we finish dinner with DW's family. It will take about 20 minutes. Of course, I don't like buying clothes, so I don't have a lot. If I packed now, I would be in dire straits for stuff to wear to work!

Steve....they WERE on VH1 Inside the music....has-beens. And I had a friend with three fingers....couldn't even give me a ^5--one armed drummer??? Gimme a break.

Wendy....you're one of the few that has a lil influence over me (southern drawl and all...)---but NOT THIS TIME. Tell dh to pack and get to ohio for the show.

Kathy...the old coots have survived since the late 70's,....I dont think they're going ANYWHERE! They're like styrofoam cups....they just don't go away!

Bob...oh, Bob...why hast thou forsaken me....dear friend. I'd sooner go see a panther thats not hearing-impared. If someone could just give me one REAL reason to go....I mean, I wouldn't mind going if just to scope out some of the groupie chicks but most of them have walkers or can't sit close to the electronics because their hearing aids and pacemakers would get fouled up.
I hate shar-pei spandex!!

Wendy...the doghouse thing may be in full effect by morning...e-mail me and I'll give you directions for your hubby.

Doghouse again? Sleeping with Guido again? I always wake up with straw in my butt....phooey...its gonna be a long dark evening.
Talk to ya tommorow, gang....

Evening fellow turkey's. Just finished dinner and the clean up. DH is in bed and I'm alone with the dogs.

My DD called early this morning...she is in flight now on her way to Iraq. I was still hoping for the 11th hour guess what, we dont have to go......but that didnt happen. Then she told me this morning, she was in NY at JFK that she was calling her cell phone company and shuting off her cell phone. That really made it real. Well I know she will be fine. She was in very good spirts and that's what will get her through her next 12 months.

Have a good evening everyone. We have some thunder here now, so I am going to shut this computer down shortly.

Later
Denise

Sad day - Steve 'The Crocodile Hunter' Irwin died. It's too bad - I actually liked the guy and what he stood for.

DS just told me I thought he was quite entertaining DS really enjoyed his show

Well it seems most are interested in 3 p.m. the first day in the promenade lounge for our family meet. If nobody has any better idea, maybe we should just count on that place and time. Please dont be afraid to speak up if you have a better idea, I dont want to over step my bounds here or be pushy. I just gave my thoughts on the subject, based on my experiences.


will check back later to see what ya'll think about it.

Kathy

we're in for the 3 p.m. meet. That was the exact time and place on our August cruise...though we missed it (we were early then had to cut out and never made it back). Now that we have a clue about that first day craziness on the ship, we can set our priorities accordingly and DEFINITELY make the meet. I think I joined the thread too late to hear about the adult meet. Not sure when it is...but you can probably count me in - if DD2 is not in Flounders, you get me or DW (or we can take turns) but not both at once.

Really looking forward to this one. You folks seem like a great bunch (pun intended).

All I got is a Photograph....I wanna touch you.

Sorry! I couldn't help myself.

Just booked a room at the Amerisuites Lake Buena Vista for Sat. when we get off boat for $35 through Priceline. Just needed a clean place to sleep and didn't expect free continental breakfast so we're happy here in PA.

OK, that cracked me up ! Mike? You're my kinda guy. See ya next Tuesday at the concert . And Jamie ... the one thing I remember about "Photograph" was making out with a guy in high school and him singing to me: "You're all I want, a fantasy". Now that there's ROMANCE, ladies

Well at least now we all have a plan for karaoke night on the ship!!!

Oh hey, Bob? Speaking of karaoke and the 80's, I mentioned to Bill at dinner tonight that on karaoke night you 2 could do "You've lost that Loving Feeling" and you can be Maverick and he can be Goose. He immediately looked at me with distain in his eyes and said, "Why does HE get to be Maverick?"

Good day to all

Raining cats and dogs here in PA this morning.

Fourfoxesinpa: we are from Chester County-about 8-10 miles from the Lancaster county boarder-near Gap, PA Is that close to you??

Okie

Greetings everyone.
Another cold gray day here in Pittsburgh. Ready for some Magic. Busy week of work ahead - I am an independent PR consultant/writer and have a bunch of clients on fire right now! Also am making a final decision on a new car - as early as today - as my lease is up and it's time to make a change. I always go into this process thinking it's fun and wind up being happy it's over. A couple of choices to sort through today and then it's new car time..and it's over.

A cruise question for those who have done Eastern b4 - How painful is the early morning St. Thomas stop, especially for those of us who have little kids. How does it work? Does everyone gather in one place? Do they go stateroom to stateroom? Are you divided up as in the tender process and go to one of several spots on the ship? Also, I've read conflicting things about the time of it - everything from 5:30 a.m.(Eeek) to 7 a.m. (not so bad). When does it really occur? TIA and Happy Tuesday that feels like Monday!

Morning everyone.

Kathy...I hear ya..no news here either. I'm working the dreaded late shift today 12 to 8pm I really hate this shift. I'm hoping we get these new girls trained fast as they have to work on evening a week.

Now I am starting to get a little nervous about this trip. I really need to know when karaoke night is. If you guys are gonna be singing love songs, I soooo what to be there......!!!!

Well have a good day and I will check in after I get home....lets keep these pages turning...remember 3000 by our cruise.

Kathy I'm trying my hardest to make 1000 by November.

Jeff, I can answer part of your question. Based on what I have read on trip reports, everyone gathers at the theater. The Customs Officials will essentially go row by row and look at everyone's information, and then you are free to leave. It does occur REALLY early, as soon as the ship docks. No one is allowed to go ashore until the entire ship has been cleared. For those with early excursions, they will be cleared first. You can go in your pajamas (and many do).

And Dandy, it IS the morning after Pirate Night!
