Little Sister!

I've already gotten more enthusiasm (and e-mails) from my ex-sister-in-law for our 2010 cruise, than I have from our brother for THIS cruise! But then, Pam's done DCL and she KNOWS how much fun it is!

ARRRGHHH I personally don't care, but I sure would like to see them extend themselves for their brother...who is ALSO turning 50 this year!!!!

that's more than I'd get from MY siblings... Oh wait... my sister usually sends me a gift card...

Peggy... can I adopt you???

I'm a planaholic.

They are the boring people in life... I keep telling mom that she's lucky to travel with me... she wouldn't have seen anything...

Take the ESIL and leave the brother home... she sounds like more fun anyway...

I put in my vacation (or so called PTO) time today for September. I had the most amazing realization !!!!!

We are taking the week before the cruise to be in WDW (we are also shacking up with a couple of wenches we picked up in the Panama Canal zone.)

Well one of the days we are in WDW is ... Labor Day!!!! That means one less vacation day consumed.

(It's the little things that make me happy.)

Hey one less day of your own time is always a good thing in my book. That's one day you can use somewhere else.

Tom is all over the state on business, yes.

The most recent trip was for calling hours for a friend who died. The last one before that was Popcorn Fest I think.

Sorry about your friend.

So, it must be very different for you living in Indianapolis compared to NE indianapolis.

By the way, Tallulah was born in Indiana. All I know is that I had to drive to a different time zone to pick her up when she was a 14 week old puppy.

So, Labor Day isn't till the 7th? That's cool...I'd better look at my vacation sheet and make sure I didn't count it as a vacation day.

.....who you calling a wench?

I have Monday off (another furlough day) and realized our agencies and rep will be closed for the President's Day holiday....so no work will be piling up on my desk while I'm out....yeah!

Yes.

Do we really only have 5 families that want to participate in the FE?

Is there a way for people traveling with children to let us know if they are boys or girls with their ages? I know we have 3 kids that are hounding me to find out how many "friends" they will have on this cruise..

I want to participate in the FE

ibouncetoo · 02-10-2009, 08:14 PM

I also will participate in the FE...just don't know about the rest of the family group yet. Well, Dianne will be since she's in my cabin!

I think once we hit final payment time, more folks will be coming on the thread more frequently and will be wanting to get involved in activities.

I'll be keeping my eyes open for FE ideas in the meantime, of course.

pfishgirl · 02-10-2009, 08:26 PM

I already bought some little gifts to give out for the FE exchange

Ive never been involved in a small FE before

In December we had about 40 families invovled.. The last count we had, Sept 08, had 63 children.. We even split the list in case anyone felt overwhelmed..

I know I definately want to participate in the FE. I need to come up with a good gift idea.
