Enjoying your writing style on this TR. The dolphins joining in on the cruise is a nice added bonus. I wasted many tries getting pics of the dolphins on my last cruise only to come home and find this one that I didn't realize I even took. I was actually trying to take pics of the turtles floating by.
I'm hoping that it works out well for you and your group for your December trip. I have never stayed at the Embassy Suites South but my mom have stayed there in the past and they did enjoy staying at the ES South even though it is a little away from the DLR. It has been a long time since I have stayed on-site and it will be nice to stay there one day. But with the rates today it will be awhile until I stay on-site.
Right now, I have my planned holiday trip to the DLR in mid November. Now I am having second thoughts of going in mid November with the Avenger's Marathon going on that weekend and I don't want to go when it is happening. I am still looking at all other options including December if I have too. The only problem with me in December is my basketball season is at it's highest and I can't find a week to get away. I have been going a lot in November since it won't affect my basketball season. It would be great to meet you in person one day and maybe it will.
Yes, post those pics here, they're beautiful!
Congrats to Chloe and her studio!!!
I totally understand about wanting to use your DVC. I hope you're able to book something soon
Yes, I'm a mess with the feelings about grandma, thank you my friend
Sorry I thought you were talking about the waitlist for purchasing VGC points. We went on the list in Jan 2013 and they came through in May 2013,
Getting drunk with Jesus?
Oh me oh my, I think something good is coming!
Loving the TR....my sheets are in the wash right now too, I think we have a lot in common.

We're on Day 2!!! I love a sea day
It is so cool that you guys saw dolphins, I would have been mesmerized.
Sounds like you had a great day. The sea looks so nice and calm that morning.
Nice update.
I did sleep in and just made it to the DVC meeting in time. Thanks so much for saving me a seat! I was a lazy bum and took the elevator up two levels only to find myself on the wrong level and needed to go down one...
I always enjoy these meetings and this one was no exception. It's fun to be surrounded by like minded DVC members.
They asked if anyone had been to the VGF yet and I have and was the first person to raise my hand. They asked me to please share my thoughts and as a result gave me a super cool pop-up tent. I couldn't believe my luck.
After we separated ways I first dropped off the tent in the room and then went to BBB to catch some breakfast. I just managed to get in before they closed and had a very delicious array of treats. The French toast being the most delicious.
I remember you saying you had played ping pong but did you also play shuffleboard? But that could have been later because after the mixology we parted ways again.
After breakfast I went down to my room and caught up in the journal. I was behind on the first days events so needed to catch up.
Here's a picture of my door with the wonderful magnet you gave me. Thank you again for that
Love the TR update! Seeing the dolphins for a few minutes must have so magical! when we were sailing out of PC on Fantasy, the dolphins (DD's favorite sea animal) were swimming alongside us.
Next year we will be on Wonder for the 2nd time but first time with a verandah stateroom. Really looking forward to gazing outside and having meals/snacks outside.
I can't wait to have breakfasts and lunches at BBB. I grew up with canned corned beef hash so whenever I see them there I have to have it!
We booked DVC on our last cruise so we are really looking forward to being on the cruise as DVC members! Really excited about seeing the DVC magnet on the cabin door! Also can't wait to also get some swag at the member presentation!
We love sea days purely for Palo brunch. If given a choice we would choose Palo brunch over Palo dinner anytime. Although Palo dinner's chocolate soufflé is pure heaven!!! Yummy!
Great updates from both of you again.
How cool to see dolphins and that food looks nicely separated! Such a shame that Joshua wasn't digging the club. But then it was probably more fun hanging out with you and Pam.....especially if you're going to feed him pizza and play ping pong with him! I would have ditched the club too.
Looking forward to the next update.
I really like the magnet! Its packed and ready to go
I forgot to say, I'm going to get the nails a shimmery coral/green this time. I'll go Wednesday or Thursday night.
Freak out? Me? Alison, I was going to say mama bear but since you're only 4 years older, I didn't know if you'd like that. I adore you my friend! Thank you for having my back.
Just catching up! Great TR so far! We booked the Wonder for Alaska next year but it may turn into the same cruise you took if we can't get good airfare prices. We just got off the Magic on Friday so I love seeing how the two compare.
I'm not sure if your aware or not, but your pics on the last couple of pages aren't showing up. I read about your dinner in AP but I can't see it.
Whaaaaaa! I came out to the lobby of the hotel to use their WiFi and read your report (and work a little on mine), and all the pictures are blocked out. It seems that you are so popular and have so many readers viewing your report that you have exceeded your band width!
This literally made me LOL! Sometimes I even Mama Bear to Fran and she's 11 years older than me! Glad to have your back!
Playing catch up!
That's so cool you saw dolphins! I think that's a lucky sign.

Thank you for pointing that out. I had no idea. My Photobucket is locked, can they tell how many people view it here even if its not clicked on?
Isn't the Magic the one that just got a facelift? We loved the Wonder. I liked the size, no fighting for spots on CC or anything like that. The polls were crowded but I could always find a lounger somewhere. At the adult pool one day, a sweet CM brought over a lounger for me and made room. I found the service to be outstanding.
