I figured that most who read that would think the same way (I thought that way as I was writing it!), hence the explanation....

I love the big thunderous roar of explosives, the bigger the better.

No confusion here with the whizzinator 2000!

Wow Mr. October, wished I was going on the cruise. You are an awesome performer! Have a great time. I enjoyed the video.

Thanks Greyson

just paid the 2008 trip off in full just 424 days left till we sail

Met Chef Ken and his wife yesterday at the Mall of America. We are getting a bunch together for an Alaska cruise in landtour in 7-08, think you could go on that one too? I could live on a cruise ship if we could afford it.

might be a little too much for me to go on the alaska cruise Im booked on this one in August and my October cruise. of 2008

Ah, come on, think of more talent shows and karaoke night. You would heat up Alaska!

Dave,
How did you come up with August for the cruise? I try to avoid the Carribean during the summer. Hurricanes you know! I sit on pins and needles the whole time wondering if my cruise will get cancelled. Also all that humidity! I love cruising Nov to May. I will still see about going. My daughter lives in Tampa. I avoid going to see her during the summer too.

SanDee, you live in Texas and are worried about heat and humidity in the Carib? And hurricanes? I'm in Houston and would take any port in the Carib over here in the summer or any other time of year. If one gets cancelled, you rebook, no biggie. Not worth worrying over.

Cheers, Neil

Hey Dave, I was waiting till you got back to post this. You had mentioned getting T's for the cruise. Carnival has came up with some deal to make T's. Here is the Link.

I don't know the pricing or details, just saw it and thought I would pass it along. I live near the Tackiest T Shirt Capital of the World. I can get quotes for screen printing if you decide to do any price comparisons.

I know is early on, but wanted to give you a heads up if you later decide on doing this.

Best regards,
Dwayne

Thanks for the link! Looks like a winner for ordering the shirts since it is a nice tidy package deal.

Excellent find, Dwayne. It also allows us to use the Carnival logo.

(Still hoping I'll be able to go...)

I'm curious, how many people signed up for the cruise so far. I'd be there, but my husband is in college still. Gotta cruise around the dreaded school dates. Lil' Lori

Maybe Jan can let you know Lil' Lori. It's only 2 days he'd miss any school. We leave on Thursday, come back on Sunday, so he wouldn't miss much if anything. Normally, all he'll be getting are the sillibi in the classes. Or, leave him at home, bring a friend along and join us!

I don't have a specific figure, but it isn't many. A lot are waiting to see how their schedules unfold before they commit.

then we need a roll call



Im going Trip paid in full

Me too, and wife. Deposit in.

Update on who's going:

All us adults will be seated together. But I'm putting you at the kiddie table.
