Hi All,
How is everyone on this fine Sunday? Wow, talk about a BEAUTIFUL day! After the strangest, hottest week, we had perfect weather for the weekend. How often does THAT happen?
I'm checking in to let you know that I have the general template created for the "program." I wanted to run some thoughts by all of you and also get some ideas to create the most useful document for everyone!
Here are my thoughts:
-Include the list of "who is going," "where we are from" and "where we are staying"
-Include a 20-24 hr daily schedule documenting everything "we" have planned as well as space for everyone to write in what they want to do for the day.
-Include a tutor schedule that only has each of us (who volunteer to tutor a topic) tutoring for one hour during the entire trip.
My Questions:
1. What do you think so far?
2. What else do you think we need?
3. There are a lot of runners, should we schedule a meeting time each day on deck 4 for those who want to run together?
4. I have all of the activities from the website, but are there others you want to do?
5. I remember reading something about a "tag" game with a Mickey Mouse Magnet "tagged" on peoples' doors--should we do that? If so, how does it work?
Feel free to answer any or all of ?'s 1-5...any help is most appreciated!
Lynne, so Jealous!!! I hope you have a great time jumping (cruising) the "pond" to our side of the globe
I hope everyone has a great week!

P.S. Sherri, I am so sorry to hear about your dad...I have not stopped thinking of you and was concerned for the answer which is why I didn't ask how you were. I hope you are finding peace in this tough time and my prayers and thoughts are with you!
P.P.S I like the idea of us linking our dinners together as a group. I, too, have late dining and a 12yo DD, so keeping her with other girls her age so that they can run off after dinner will make us ALL happy
I love the idea of having a 24 hour breakdown for each day showing what things are available so we can use it in conjunction with our Navigator to keep track of everything. Thanks for organizing this!
meanwhile, we're doing late dinner and i'd love to meet everyone. I'll talk to DH about linking but i suspect hes too into his creature comforts and would like to know he has his table and a favorite seat at it (whereever it is). how does that work? are we just near each other or what? but we're heading closer to 60 and our youngest is in his 3rd year of college, so we're a bit older than those with kids on the cruise anyway. i love the program idea. i'd love to meet you all and have people to do stuff with and all, people of all ages!
has anyone figured out yet the weather chances for the different places? and at sea?
thanks,
Sherri
I would love to sit with DISer friends too, but my brother and I have already requested our same servers from our January 2010 cruise who will be on this cruise, we liked them a lot. So we dont want to jeopardize our request by complicating it with tablemate requests on top of server requests- hopefully we'll be with some DISers anyway, or at least meet some fun people either way!
