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

[fourfoxesinpa]

11 weeks! That sounds so much closer than 75 days to me. Woo Hoo.

I once had my back go out on a Disney vacation and spent 3 days in our room before DH took me to a clinic on Apopka Vineland Rd. I couldn't walk 3 feet before I went in and after they gave me some Valium and Darvocet, I walked 10 hours at the Magic Kingdom the next day. It was truly Magic!

So, POC 2 comes out on video on 12/5...Think they'll show it onboard?

Good Morning All,

MomX4 - You may not be QUITE the oldest (we'll have to compare) but let's look at it this way - while the young puppies are busy raising their kids - discipline, table manners, chauffering, yada yada, WE are old enough to PLAY with their kids and send them home when play time is over. I LOVE grandmothering!

Well, I'm outta here - Vegas Baby! and then DL. See youse in a week!

If you win the big jackpot, you'll spring for a round of banana daiquiris for us Dis'sers at the Sail Away party, eh?

GOOD LUCK

Actually it's not 11 weeks for 7 days per week equals 77 days. I'll go with the 75 days .

P.S. Sorry to be rude.

P.S.S. I love that party! last year we stood on deck ten port to watch the party. I love it when they pan the camera to the various people! Can't wait! I'm jumping off walls!

 

[joelidol]

Also, do take a moment of silence to remember the World Trade Centers tommorrow...

 

[joelidol]

To mom x4, grandma x4: when you told me that you'd been on the cruise Aug. 28th (or whatever) I believe that if you check the Cruise meets thread you started about that, you will note that you wrote (rhymes) 9/28/06, not 8/28/06!

Oh and those pics I was going to show? Here's one:

We'll be walking through that gate any day now...

 

[woogal]

I'm bored stiff. My back went out on me and I am recuperating in bed with my trusty Valium. Party on Wayne...Party on Garth!

MOM! Jamie has valium and she won't share!!!

Since Mon is our 75 days & counting-I keep reading about making reservations online- What time can we do that & do you usually get what you are wanting--Palo, shore excursions?
Any suggestions

1st DCL 11/25/06

Yes we did everything online at 90 days and we got everything we wanted. We booked Palo's for brunch and dinner and Flounder's Nursery for DS. But DH booked the ressies at 3 am est. Hope this helps!!

Hi Joelidol,
I believe you about the dates, for some reason my computer makes lots of mistakes and spelling errors. I bought a new keyboard last week, hope that helps my computer to not make so many mistakes, if not maybe I should get a new one that knows how to type more accurately!!!

I was going on a 9/23/06 cruise but changed it to 8/5/06 so we could take the grandkids along. My name is still on that thread, since I started it, even though I am no longer going on the cruise.

Kathy

P.S., liked the pictures too!!

Thanks everyone for the kind words about my baby Maxi. She is doing better today maybe she'll stick with us a little while longer. We took her to the beach yesterday. She used to love chasing the waves. She wasn't up to that, but seemed to enjoy just sitting there with us. Her little nub of a tale was wagging (she's a Jack Russel). Of course, I was a basket case most of the time. My two younger ones don't realize what is going on, but my 13 year old is well aware.

So I got an email from our travel agent saying payment is do tomorrow. Got me a little more excited. I do need to figure out if we want to book something at the spa. We still don't plan on doing excursions. But since this will be the first of many cruises, we will have a lot of time for that.

I bought a recordable DVD player/VCR combo today. We are trying to copy our videos over while they are still in somewhat good condition. Right now I'm working on our first DW trip. My oldest was an only child then and just 4 years old. It's so sweet to watch her. I have about 2000 more hours of videos to go. Two-thirds from my oldest's life. One-third for the other 2 kids combined.

Keep the 80's songs coming. I'm having fun with the memories their bringing back.

MOM! Jamie has valium and she won't share!!!

Now girls we must play nicely, Jamie give me all the valium and you and Shell go out and play

 

[JanDave]

Good Evening Nana Heads!!!

Sunny Liston Tour -- I emailed Sunny yesterday to forewarn him of us Nanaheads. He's ready for us!!! Guess we're the only 9am pick ups that morning. We got picked up at 10am last year, and the shopping time went by too fast.

Jamie -- Hope you're feeling better. Shell, I don't think there will be any
valium to share by 11/25!!!

Dutchsmommy -- Just thinking about over-the-courter 222s (tylenol with codeine) available in Canada. For years, I worked in the downtown Detroit area and Windsor employees would haul bottles of 222s in to work for co-workers.

Carrie -- Contrats on DH's new job. What a relief for you and your family.

Joelidol - yes, we will remember the heros who perished at the WTC, D.C. and Pennsylvania 5 years ago. What a tragic day for our country and the world.

Linda, Kathy and Pat -- yes, grandparenting is so great!!!! If they still have the grandparent brag session on board, we'll have to attend. As I said before, love the 60s music. Any sightings of Elvis lately???!!! Remember the Beatles on Ed Sullivan on a Sunday night in early 1964. My dad had a fit with their long hair!!! P.S. I think I will will as the oldest female in our group......

Have to get to bed soon. Waking up early (2:45 a.m.) to book DF Bob for the St. Maarten fishing trip.

Evening all...

Well getting ready to go to bed shortly since I am waking early to make my reservations. Actually I had to call DCL this morning, everytime I would try and get in with my resrevation number and BD it told me the BD didnt match. So I called and they had my year wrong. 10 years younger I told them I would like to keep the 10 year younger part, but they fixed it and now I am able to get in. I also called Happy Limo and switched our van to a smaller one, since 4 people dropped out of our party. So I am getting things in order.

I cant belive its been 5 years since 9-11 New York, Pennsylvania and Washington. Yes we will all take a minute of silence and remember all who lost their lives.

I let you know how reservations went when I get home from work tomorrow. Have a great week everyone.

Denise

to all of my happy nanas:

good luck with ressies on the 75 day mark! yippee!!!

to all my dog lovers: those dogs that pull try out the "halti" it looks like a muzzle but isn't they are able to open and close their mouths, eat drink and be merry. but when they pull on their leash it pulls their snouts down and htey dont like that. its better than the harness' because they pull on their underlegs. and not to be missed the best dog book ever will have you laughing your nannas off "Marley and Me" by John Grogan. it is an amazing book and so true about dogs, its not cheezy either!

have a great time making ressies everyone! sorry i haven't checked in awhile!

irish weekend in 2 weeks- four foxes are we still haveing a mini dis meet and greet? let me know!

later nanas!

 

[dkmjgal]

OK, 80s fans...what sayeth you about this one...


Fish heads, fish heads. Roly, poly fishheads. Fish heads, fish heads. Eat them up. YUM!

So, without cheating...does anyone remember the trivia about that one?


I'm bored stiff. My back went out on me and I am recuperating in bed with my trusty Valium. Party on Wayne...Party on Garth!

Ok..we know it was on the Dr. Dimento (sp?) show...what else?

Where's Tiggerking with our answer from yesterday for the 2nd video on MTV?

Carrie - I'm glad to hear about DH's job. Sorry to hear about your dog..but I'm glad things seem a bit better today.

I can't believe was are just about 75 days out! We can't wait!!

We will definitely be remembering 9-11 here in NJ. It hit too close to home..that's for sure. DH was supposed to be there on 9-13. I will never forget that day or the days that followed. My heart still breaks and tears fall whenever I read something or watch something about it. I don't know that our country we will ever fully recover from that tragedy.

Have a good night everyone-

Kelly

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Hi everyone,
pretty quiet morning here today. The sun is just starting to come up so we have a very pretty pink sky. Everyone is off to work accept me,and the pup.
She is waiting for daddy to come home and take her for a walk again. She loves that.
Have a good day everyone,
I will have a count for you soon!!

Kathy

 

[dkmjgal]

Good Morning Kathy and everyone who follows

Funny you should mention the sunrise this morning...I looked out my kitchen window and just the tops of some of the trees were shining as the sun was just start to hit them. I even called DD into the room to see it. The sun comes up behind our house so when you look in the front yard it's a really pretty sight

One child is off to school and I'm going to get the other up and ready. Then I am off to weight watchers today - Ive got a cruise to get in shape for. Actually I'm a Lifetime member who took too long of a vacation this summer so it's back on track for me today. I'm actually glad to have the cruise as motivation - it helps!

I hope everyone has a great day today!

Kelly

Okay, first off...Billy Idol is ugly! It is that bad boy thing again that you gals seem to like so much!

As for the second video, Woo gets half credit. It was Pat Benatar, but since she didn't name the song......I would have never guessed the song either. It was "You Better Run". Don't recall that song from my PB albums. On a side note, the first time I ever went to Pleasure Island at DTW, she was performing a concert. I went straight from there to the 80s club and had a blast that night!

Carrie: My sympathies on the situation with your dog. I have a dog that is 13 years old, and showing signs of not being too much longer. I sometimes look at him and catch myself thinking about that time when he won't be here. It tears me up.

 

[TiggerKing]

I don't know why I am posting this. Maybe it is to honor those who lost their life that day, and in the battles since. But one of the most poignant stories of my life is that I was in NYC in March 2002. DW, a good friend and I were spending the weekend after I had been in NJ on business and we had gone to ground zero. We were walking around the fence looking at all the notes of support and pictures of those who were lost. We came upon a bicycle still chained to a lamp post. On it was a note that said:

(Bike owner's name),
We are looking for you. If we don't find you, we will know you are in heaven.
(Signed by family member)

I lost it right then and there because it became real at that point.

God Bless America!
