Calling All 8/19/06 Special Western Cruisers! AKA "The Cruisin' Castaways" Part 2

[mikayla'sMom]

Sorry, just wanted to be the 3000's post!

 

[mikayla'sMom]

I missed it!! Congratulations Denise!! But I did start another page

 

[castoff]

Lindz: Congrats !! You picked the right date.

My guess for the new date is Aug. 30th. That is my DD birthday.

 

[newholidayx2]

ok guys - time to start calling me by my first name - i really dont want to hear newholidayx2 in the hallways - so from now on its Barb - k? thanks

Congratulations Andy! so when do we visit?

DHs (Dave) birthday is Aug 8 - Jonathan (DS) and I leave for FL Aug 13th! woohoo - cant wait to meet some of you

 

[8 Ears]

Heather and you others who wished us the best, Dad should be home for Easter BUT he has to spend tomorrow night. Saturday night will depend how much pain he is still in. Apperently(sp) this is a painful surgery. Huh, what'a I know I thought they all were.

DS 10 Bryan made a thoughtful card at school for him. He heard me over talking about the will and such and is thinking Papa will not make it out.... Very sensitive boy. Oops, blabbing again! Thanks to you all, I am headed to bed.

For those of you that got today, sorry. Hoping we just get the first of the week.

Mary

 

[mikayla'sMom]

Mary - I agree any surgery is painful, but I hope your dad proves them all wrong! Children have amazing range, don't they. Never think they are not listening. My daughter is so sad about her friend also. My husband tried to explain the surgery he was going to have....the next day she was crying because she thought they cut his ear off. . We'll bethinking of you and your family tom.....

I think Aug. is going to be busier than March as far as birthdays go. Maybe that has something to do with the choice of sailing when we are.

What happened......we hit page 200 and where is everyone Maybe we have talked ourselves out

 

[Ct_TiggerFan]

I doubt this group could talk ourselfs out

Good Night All

 

[Reenieny18]

Busy people today at the key boards. yeah page 200

I am not much better today either. I tried to sleep a few hrs on the couch... The wheezes I have wake me up and it scares the kids.. Its sounds like a death RATTLE,,lol

Anyone have connection to CHRYSLER because I have a true lemon of a car. Thank GOD I have the 100000 miles warrenty.... I took it in with 82057 miles on it.. and they swear to me they drove it around the area to correct the problem and the miles out were 82061... well driving it to my drive-way didnt even make it to 82061. A simple oil change and state inspection cost me $128 and change.. I am furious.. and than they never called me when it was ready... so I had to go there with MARTY at 715 PM.. wheezing and coughing all over them,,lol I swear the girl thought I was going to die on her desk.. I was LIVID..

ok sorry i just had to vent...

Terry have a good time with your sister..

Barb,, nice to put a name to the screen name

Sue feel free to write anytime, I love reading your accent...

I better get to bed. I have a 915 DRs appointment to start my day off.. and I hope to get a call from the service manager at this CHRYSLER store..
Sweet dreams...

Good Morning Everyone,

We got in a bit late last evening and Angelina was feeling ill, poor thing went straight to bed and fell asleep within minutes. Will probably take it easy today and change our plans around. No fever last night, will be checking that again after she wakes up this morning.

Congrats on reaching page 200 and post 3000 while I was away from the boards last evening, I knew you could do it!!!

Have a WONDERful and MAGICal day!!!

 

[newholidayx2]

Good morning everyone
Andy - Hope Angelina feels better today

Jonathan's home today (lucky kid).
I have a meeting this morn that takes me out of town. "How to run reports to clean up the circulation system" Told him if he needs anyone Dad will be easier to get in touch with even though he's 30mins from home. Oh well by 1pm I should be back to check on him.
I work in the children's dept of our town library. I prefer the part of my job where I enter the new books, keep the system clean, etc - more of the tech serv end.

Have a good day everyone

 

[castoff]

Andy: I wonder if it was the change of weather for Angelina ? Hope she is feeling better today. Keep us updated.

Barb: My DS is also named Jonathan. Spelled the same way. He is 14. We aren't taking the kids on this cruise. They are going to spend time at WDW with grandparents.

 

[SeaSpray]

John fixed my computer! It was the power supply, which is what I thought it was. Ed, we used to own an internet service and during the day I did tech support for our customers, so I knew enough to check the cords and all of the other obvious reasons. But thanks anyway. It was amazing how many people overlooked the most simple things. lol


73 weeks till the cruise!!!

How is everyone doing in The Illness area?..Hope all is well..

I have a question for our next cruise in October...

I havent been to St. Marteen or St. Thomas since I was 20....What is there to do now?..

I have no Idea...

Cindy Likes the beach's and Well..I like to drink...I saw a sky tram in St. Thomas that looks good, so I know we will be doing that...

Any Help will be appreciated...

Bobby

 

[sandygirl]

BOBBY
Definately do the tram on St Thomas. It is really cool. You can walk to it from the pier. Once you get to the top there is a restaurant and shops and an awesome view. I got a shot of the Magic that looks like a postcard.

There is a bird show, too. and you can have your photo taken with the birds. Sandy has a photo of a tropical bird sitting on her head and one cradle in her arms. Really neat.

Wish we were going too! I prefer the eastern itinerary.
Darlene

 

[sandygirl]

TERRY Glad you are back in working order...or at least your PC is.

ANDY Hope Angelina is feeling much better today. No fun being sick on vacation.

Hello BARB!

DOREEN - You go get 'em girl! Chrysler beware! You seriouly should not have to deal with this kind of thing when you are not feeling well. Take care!

I just sent my letter to Sears Customer Service. Must be a bad week for consumers.

MARY We are still praying for your dad.

HEATHER August will certainly be a full month for birthdays! DD's is 8/20. And that IS why we choose to sail in Aug. Not to mention all the wonderful company onboard with us!

Darlene

 

[Verandah Man]

Angelina had kind of a rough night, she just got up about an hour ago. We were supposed to see Shirley at The Perfect Gift today and go to Dixie Crossroads for lunch so we could get our Rock Shrimp, but we had to cancel that for today with Angelina not feeling well, we decided to stay here at my mom's. The sky is very dark right now, and I can hear the thunder getting closer as I type. I hope the weather and Angelina are doing better tomorrow because we have our three hour paddle boat excursion planned on the St. Johns River. We get a nice buffet lunch with the paddle boat excursion as well.

O.K., the thunderstorm is just too close for comfort so I'm shutting the computer down for a while.

Bye for now,

Andy

 

[Ct_TiggerFan]

Andy,

Hopefully the Tstorms have passed and you have some sun.
With any luck Angelina starts to feel better, rough thing for a child to feel ill on a vacation. Some PD for good measure.

Well as you heard most of the snow is melting fast.

Heather, looks like the 8/19/06 cruise is fast turning into one big Bday party,
I have # 49 right before the cruise on 8/15 lol.

If all works out we should be at WDW for that one.


Happy Weekend all

 

[florida sun]

Evening all,

Hope you are all well. It is Good Friday today and the weather over here is beautiful, low 70's with the sun shining brightly. This is the first of my 10 days off from work, so Vicki and I went out this afternoon down to our local beauty spot and sat outside, over looking the river, eating ice cream,and drinking smoothies it was so good to feel the sun.

Barb: Lovley to call you "BARB" looking forward to meeting you this August at Trails end.

Mary: Hope your dad is well on the mend,what a lovley thing your dear son did making a card. Best wishes to you.

Heather: Hope all is well with you.

Doreen: Come on girl, get yourself better. Thinking of you in my welsh accent

Andy: So sorry Angelina is not feeling too good, nothing worse than being ill on your holidays, take care and hope you are able to make your plans tomorrow.

Tina: How are you my dear neighbour, not long to your trip to vegas, any chance you can fit me in your case?.

Terry: So glad your computer is fixed now, I thought we had a new family when you posted under you dh name lol.

Ed: August is indeed a busy month for birthdays, where do you plan on staying the night before the cruise? We were thinking of the Raddison or maybe 1 night somewhere at WDW and getting Disney transfers.

Bobby: Hi there, I bet you are looking forward to your cruise in October,I have never been to St Marteen or St Thomas but they both look great.

Darlene: How is Stan? I do hope he is better. My daughter is an August birthday girl as well on the 17th.

Sorry if I have missed out anyone, hosting this quiz is really putting me behind with reading all the posts, never mind it ends next Thursday 31st. Oh which by the way is my birthday day. I will have to have a celebration smoothie to mark the end of the quiz and my birthday.


Take Care all,

Sue

I hope and pray That everyone in the path of the storm will be safe...

I know that my family and everyone on board are in the Best possible place to be...

So far the passangers on board are very excited about the 2 extra nights...There are some who are miserable about the idea, but I guess they dont understand that Captain Tom and DCL are trying to keep the Ship, Crew and all passangers Safe...

Has anyone heard about the storm serge by Port Canaveral?..

My car is parked there, and I need to drive back to NY...If it washes away, its not a big deal...But I am just curious...
