Fell asleep on the couch and woke up a bit ago. The sci-fi channel was on, so of course I was watching. AND just saw a tease for the "Immortal Voyage of Captain Drake" which airs later with month and stars.......
my beautiful Adrian Paul Can't wait for that!

Morning Thieves,

Spent the night over at Will's (still here) and getting some playing done before we head over to my house to do some housework....if I wait and get on the laptop at home, I'll never get any work done

He's right now playing baseball on the Wii.

Depending on what we get done, we may go catch a movie. Mick comes home tomorrow & I know I'll be forgotten (Will doesn't like being alone much)

I'll get back on later today.

XOXOXOXO

Where will you be staying the night before the cruise?


My family plan is to all stay together at the Hyatt...but I think there will be discussion later on to see if anyone else is coming early for a visit to WDW pre-cruise. Peg and Jose are thinking of staying after the cruise to see Cape Canaveral and Epcot. I'm hoping to convince them to do Epcot pre-cruise and Cape Canaveral post-cruise. Now, if anybody has DVC points to rent and I could get them into BC or Boardwalk Villas THAT would help!
I remember Peg enjoyed our stay for one night at Animal Kingdom, even without a park visit....and Magical Express from the airport is free....and we could then do group transportation to the port with some DIS pals....limo/mini van/private bus. How am I doing on the 'persuasions'?

Your persuasions are all brilliant!!! AND make perfect sense IMO... Dick and I will be somewhere on DVC property - currently have VWL booked but hope to change to an EPCOT resort OR SSR in Feb...

I am in a BRILLIANT mood - just booked 3 tickets for DH, DS and myself to see Orlando Magic play the Knicks in April!!! That's going to be such a cool experience - can't wait!!! Also found out that it's Mardi Gras at Universal Studios when we're staying there which sounds like great fun - will probably see Trace Adkins perform too... OMG I love vacation planning...

We have been to Mardi Gras at Universal twice and it was fun. We didn't see any concerts as weren't bothered about that, but the parade was great.

We found a spot right near where the floats come out up past Jaws, near the Fear Factor, not crowded at all, so we got loads of beads without too much scrambling. It was hilarious. Then we ambled over the bridge towards the now Simpsons ride and caught the parade again along the road where Terminator is. It was packed down there.

OK, I am beginning to engage in this trip.

Who interested in:

Shots Around the Ship
A Stem to Stern Extravaganza


And more importantly, what night should it be held on?

Let me know. I'll be in my office.

Yes, that's him! He is very attractive - started off life as a semi-pro soccer player before turning to modeling and heading to the US. The Colby's was his first acting role...

[iankh]

Also, now that I'm engaging in this voyage.

I shall soon start to post my requirements for acceptable social intercourse.

Thanks for the tip, Marilyn!!!

I've appointed Marilyn the executive note taker.

(Marilyn, I'll brief you further about the duties of your post, later)

[iankh]

I post technology alerts on another cruise thread. A trip a took with a bunch of riffraff through the Panama Canal.

I thought that I would share my overwhelming wisdom here as well.

And so, gentle reader, without much further ado:

Technology Alert

OK, I have stumbled across something really cool from Sony that is going on the market very soon:

Webbie HD

It's a Hi-Def video camera that records to a memory stick. You can fit up to 5 hours on a 16GB stick. The camera weighs, 7 oz.

The best part? The price of Webbie HD - $199

It is indeed. Think of as a bit more important than holding the office of secretary with your local Women's Institute.

Besides, as every one knows, I suffer from the disease called CRS (Can't Remember S***).
