[U2Pixies]

Almost forgot. Forgive me for saying I'm not too happy with DCL. It was a "car frustration" moment for me. My dh said I was going to have my ears taken away from me for that remark

Kathy: My computer makes all kinds of mistakes! Maybe I got mine the same place you got yours! How about that storm last night! Did it come your way? Our yard was even flooded.

Evening all: Well I thought 3000 post was a task but we are going to have to gab a real lot to reach 4000. But what the heck...I belive the closer the gabbier we will become.

I agree I also go garbage this morning on the reservations. Nothing good left no bruch. So we will see what happens when we get on the ship.

Lynn the baby is adorable.

Nothing going on here right now.

Later Denise

Good afternoon all!

Just adding to the post count & nana count! Someone quick do the math -- how may posts per day to meet Bob's lofty goal of 4000 by departure?

Let's all pitch in & do our part!
Cheri

Cheri (and others):

In order to reach 4000 by 11/25, we must have an average of just under 25 posts per day. Now, since most of us will be traveling on the last couple of days before the cruise, we need to "kick it up a notch" and keep the chatter going!

 

[Dixielady908]

Well Bob, thats a lot of chatting...but I vow to keep up my end of the bargin and post a few messages a day. Even if its nothing more than saying hello and bumping us up.......we can do it....we can do it....

Denise

 

[disneediva]

I didn't notice anyone checking in yet so, here is post number 1 for today.

DH and I begin our vacation 10 weeks from today!!

This weekend we went to a wedding.... The ceremony at the church went perfectly, but as we were all driving to where the reception was going to be held it started to POUR. There were sheets of hard rain and the wind was whipping the trees around. And there was wicked thunder and lightening
The reception was supposed to be in a tent outside of the brides mothers house.
EVERYthing that they had worked so hard to make and put togetther for the centerpieces and table settings was destroyed.
The two smaller tents where the bride and groom were going to have their first dance and cut their cake where blown over. (fortunatly the cake was in the house at the time)
The Bride did better than I would have done in this situation. She took it all in stride as the 100 or so wedding guests packed like sardines in the house.
They ended up having their first dance outside once the rain stopped, but the rest of the traditional reception stuff didn't happen.

I hope they have a nice honeymoon to make up for all the drama!

Howdy everyone,
Carrie,
The port opens at 10 a.m., that is when we arrive!!
You cant board until 1:30 to 11:45 depending on when the restaurants are ready to serve you lunch. That is what they want you to do first thing, then check in a kids clubs, nursery , dining changes, etc... You can go to your room at 1:30 P.M. Plus Dont forget the dis board meet for everyone, kids too at 3:00 P.M. in the Promenade lounge!!!!!

We can make 4000 easy, all we need is for Denise to make her personal goal of 1000 posts and we will be almost there!!! Denise we are counting on you!!!

Kathy

Good morning everyone!

A little overcast here in Atlanta today with rain moving in later this afternoon.

Trying to recover from a very emotional day yesterday. DW and I watched the ABC movie "The Path to 9/11" and last night was a little difficult to watch as it reached the point of 9/11. I also watched some other tidbits on other channels, including a piece about a priest who stood at the entrance to ground zero for over 14 hours, 2 of which were in the pouring rain, just encouraging those who were coming in and out doing their work. I wish I could do his story justice.

Have a wonderful day all, and keep those posts coming!

Good morning Banana Heads

Thank our lucky stars that we have an accountant with us to figure that kind of stuff out (oh, how he hates that! I'm in for it now ... )

What's the etiquette for wearing our turkey shirts? Are we supposed to wear them for the 3 p.m. Promenade meet?

Wendy ... sorry, gf, I'm with Mike on this one. I have no idea why you'd want to be at the port before you can even get on the ship. But then, Mutt is on your side and wants to get there as early as possible and wait around. But we ALL know who will win that "disagreement" (love ya, honey!)

Have a great day!

I agree I also go garbage this morning on the reservations. Nothing good left no bruch. So we will see what happens when we get on the ship.

Later Denise

Denise - Let me tell you our personal Palo story from our August 12 Magic Cruise. We booked nothing in advance because we weren't sure if DD2 would take to Flounders. When we boarded (we had a number 8 and probably got on around 12:30 or 12:45) I went straight to the Palo reservations area in Studio Sea. I asked for Thursday (a day at sea) for brunch and booked it no problem. Then my wife and I started talking and decided maybe we should do it on Monday instead so she went up around 1:15 p.m. or so and got us on a waiitng list for Monday. Got a call on Sunday confirming. Then she got us reserved for dinner on Thursday which we wound up canceling because we were enjoying dinner with DDs so much by then we didn't want to miss one.

For those interested in the spa reservations that you weren't able to get, I had the same luck here. Went to spa late on Sunday evening and asked about a massage for the next day. Was told they would call me if something came available (I had asked for as early AM as possible). Sure enough got a call within a half hour confirming an 8:30 a.m. Had such a good massage I decided I wanted another on our last sea day (Thursday). Again, I called on Wed. and had my choice of times to choose from.

The moral of the story is that one of the things I was freaked out about before the cruise was how scheduled EVERYTHING had to be. I'm happy to say that on this cruise, at least, I was able to really "go with the flow" and do things when it was convenient for me and my family.

So....I'll race you all to Studio Sea since I wasn't able to get brunch ressies online!

 

[disneediva]

Ok Shell I now have 2 months to convince you to meet us there at 10 just think of it as your vacation starting earlier

We will be wearing our shirts on board as to make it easier on us(that means me when trying to get things organized for the day) Plus it will be easier to know who my fellow turkeys/ are.

Kathy I think my computer caught the same bug yours has I have mistyped(I mean my computer screwed up) numerous times today

Hey Bob,(ya know that was a drinking game when I was in college) I have 2 post before 8am I am doing good so far. Hopefully work will cooperate and I can type more later
