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

[dkmjgal]

Hi Everyone!!!!

What an AWESOME CRUISE!!! It was great meeting all of you...it really made our trip that much more terrific! We did re-book while on board...but tentatively for 2008. Hmmm...we might have to re-think that one.

We just got home this afternoon and finished all of our unpacking and almost all of the laundry So far we have escaped the stomach bug...but I'm not expecting that to last...but I guess a girl can hope, right.

I have to run and finish decorating the Christmas Tree with the kiddos. I will check back in tomorrow!

I miss you all and consider myself very lucky for having met you. Dashing Don from Jersey agrees too!

Well. all, here is an abbrieviated rundown of our last days ---- Arrived at the MCO airport at 9:30am and flew out at4:50pm so we had a lot of "hang out" time. "Mickey" (his doll) spoke to Patrick vis a vis Mommy for about 4 hours and my voice is hoarse. However many kids around us were engrossed, so I guess I do a pretty good "Mickey" voice.

Sewing costumes till my hands are raw...they HAVE to be done by Tues. Will they? Geez. I dunno.

Patrick had to rush to rehearsal for Nutcracker today...you would think he'd be exhausted but he's dancing for us now as I type.

I'm freakin' tired. But still love you all.\

Back to sewing....

Hello everyone. We had a great cruise, but I wasn't very sociable. I'm naturally pretty shy to go up to people and start talking. But the excitement of the cruise and just feeling in awe of everything, left me in my own little world. Our family had an splendid time and we rebooked for April 2008. We aren't sure if we will change dates when the new ones come out or not. We drove straight to the Magic Kingdom when we got off Saturday. I had never been there when it was so crowded before. We must be a little spoiled because 40 minute waits for the rides seemed crazy. We did do a lot of things we wanted too, and then went shopping at Downtown Disney. We were so tired that we ended up forgetting to get most of the stuff we wanted.

I just loved this cruise so much even though I got a little sea sick the first night and hubby and 1 daughter got it on Wednesday night. Fortunately we all seemed to miss the bug. We drove for 12 hours today to return home. Next time we'll break it up into 2 days.

So now I'm working through my 1000+ pictures and deleting the bad ones. I still have 6 disposible cameras to develop too. I will get started on scrapbooking this trip tomorrow. And doing a lot of laundry.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

well just about everyone has checked in now, I am so happy to hear everyone had such a good time and most are over the bug!! Peter is still asleep, but he should be better today.

We are cloudy and cool today, only going to get to mid 60's today.

I have a Dr. appt then off to wal mart for a few presents, then home to wrap them. Hopefully we can get the house decorated tonight or tomarrow night. We want Peter to feel like helping too. we always do decorating as a family.

will check back soon,

Kathy

I have a question????

I know someone will be able to answer this one, because many of you have done this already.

How do you post the cruise lists under your name of your past cruises?? I have never done this, but decided I would like to list out cruises, but have No idea how to go about it??

Thanks for your help,

kathy

Good Morning Kathy -

Try clicking on USER CP in the red box 1/4 of the way down from the top. Under "EDIT SIGNATURE" you should be able to do what you want to do. I'm pretty sure that's how to do it.

I'll be back later with more to chat about. Gotta finish gettting John ready for school.

Well, we are all home .... it's 8:30am Monday.
Both DS and DD are very sad !
Stopped at NASA to see the space shuttle on the launch pad and got some great
video of that! Wish I was down there on Thursday to see it take off, but maybe
some other day. Lost our camera in the car rental, we called them up about 30 minutes ( we where still in the airport )
after getting out of the car and they said that they couldn't find it!
When I download the video to my computer to edit it into the final cut, I will have to
extract some of the pictures from the video so my DW will be able to fill her picture albums. I have about 7 hours of video to edit, I'm hoping to get about 2 or 3 music videos from all this footage.
I'm truely happy that I got the chance to meet most of you on the ship!
and are planning to go back in 2007 !

Catch you later !!!! Rick

Hi everyone,
I am sorry that I didn't get to meet all of you. I am so glad to be home. My family was one of many families and kids that were sick last week.

Was anyone else sick

I think I am going to send DCL an email.

Lynn: I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hope everyone has a good day and if anyone else is sick hope you feel better soon.

Good morning everyone!

Just checking in to say "Hi" before I have to get to work! Lots of stuff going on last week at work so time to get busy!

Kathy, I finally decided to add a ticker and extra stuff to my "signature" too. Just go to "User CP" and "Edit Signature." Then type in whatever you want, preview, and save. If you want a ticker, just go to a ticker site, follow the instructions, then "copy & paste" the BB code to your signature area. The hardest part was picking the "timeline" and "marker!!"

Glad to hear most of you are feeling better. What an awful way to end such a great week!

Wendy, hope you guys re-book for 11/2007 so you and I can actually have time to drink together -- I mean talk together!!!!

I'm finally going to submit this reply (I started about an hour ago, but had to sit in the car with DD while she waited for the school bus -- below 0 wind chills and the bus was running 40 minutes behind!). . .

Have a good day!

Cheri

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Thanks Cheri, and Kelly, i will give it a try later today. I need to look up all the dates first.

Rick, sorry to hear about your camera. I lost ours the first day in the terminal, but Bob (My hero) found it and gave it to me a couple hours after we boarded the ship.


Lucinda,
so sorry to hear you guys were ill.

I have tons to do today, so will check back later,
Kathy

 

[TiggerKing]

Hey Guys!

I just wanted to check in real quick and let you know how much fun Lisa and I had meeting all of you.

Lynn: Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys!

I am back to somewhat normal today. I am still just feeling really weak, and I think I pulled several muscles in my back and chest area due to the upward mobility trend of my digestive track on Friday night!

Will post more later, but I have to also recover from a week away from work!

 

[woogal]

KELLY: You all are NOT excused from the 11/24/07 reunion! Get it booked ... have Don check the spreadsheet!

[Dixielady908]

Morning all:

Well I am off of work today and have to do some house cleaning. I did get the majority of the mess cleaned up, but not all of it so I will finish that off today and finish laundry.

Runa: sorry to hear about your house......ya think someone would have been nice enough to come clean while you were gone.... geez....

I will try having my son post some pictures later. Since I am sure what the heck I am doing. Well gotta get moving around here, if I dont start cleaning now, I will never get to it.

Talk with you all later

REALLY Home, finally.

{{{{Lynn }}}} So sorry to hear about your grandmother, Dear. Holding your little family close in my heart.

We rebooked on board, but for a week later, 2007 - much as I LOVE you 'turkeys', I SO did NOT love that eastern itinerary. You guys "MADE" the cruise for us - it was so nice to see a smiling familiar face everywhere we turned.

Thanks to Sarah and her minions delivery service, the FairyGodmother gig was a huge success. All the godmothers came through with great stuff, and the little girls were just 'flying' with happiness by the last night. There was one old lady watching them from deck 4 with tears in her eyes, I can tell you from personal knowledge.

I'm breathing better but still coughing and see doc this afternoon. REALLY GLAD to avoid the tummy troubles that plagued some of you, though. Still, it did seem like I spent an awful lot of this vacation in an oxygen deprived stupor. . .

 

[U2Pixies]

Where is Linda? I didn't see where she checked in yet. I know she wasn't feeling too well when we were in St. Thomas. That was the last time I saw or spoke to her. Hope she's feeling ok.

Lucinda - I'm sorry I missed meeting you. Hope your email to DCL is to express what a wonderful time you had.
Yes, some of our family and friends got a bit sick, but at least it wasn't 600 people! I just heard about a cruise ship that had (about) that many people sick with some bug.
