Two Weeks from Today

I will heading off...
Into the wonder blue younder...

Two weeks from today, our plane takes off heading to Florida and then two weeks from Sunday, my cruise begins...I board the ship and away we go!

When the cruise was first booked, I do admit I wasn't as excited as I am. I don't know, I have trouble getting exciting for things that are so far off. *LOL* Now, though, I am really excited! Deciding what to do...what not to do....

At Nassau and St. Thomas....I'm probably going to take the PowerBoat Ride. I get to see the beautiful land, beautiful waters and I get to have fun. Because it's SPEED! 700 Horsepower sounds mighty fine to me!

At St. Maertan...we'll probably take an Island tour...because my mother would like to. There's really nothing I would want to do thier...so I'm all for that. I'm not a snorkeling person....so, that's not a problem for me...

It's been since around '98, the last time I had a proper vacation. Which, ironically was a cruise. About the only thing that is bittersweet is me having to fly into Orlando...which, as alot of ya know is where you know who lives. But, I'll be so focused on other things...hopefully that thought won't even enter into my lil ole mind...

Two weeks to go! And then I get to suspend my normal life for an entire week! No more work...no more idiots around where I live. No more downloading...just me and the Caribbean Sun...

YEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I know you will have a wonderul time!
Put all those worries behind you and flirt with every single,
(when I say "single", I mean "not married" - LOL)
woman you meet!!

Smile wide and enjoy that sunshine my friend.
You deserve it!

Dan, you deserve this vacation so much. And, when you fly into Orlando, keep focused on your future, not your past.

Take plenty of sunscreen!! :D

Sounds like a wonderful vacation Dan. Have fun !
You will be missed, but Im sure youll have lots to report when you get back. Can't wait to hear about it.
Hey, maybe you will meet that "right" person just for you , who knows. If not have fun with all the "wrong" ones in the meantime. :rolleyes: just kidding.

enjoy!! will you have acess to any onboard puters?

Thanks ya'll!

Sage, I do plan on doing just that! Flirting w/ all the single women. *LOL* When the crap first hit the fan, I joked with my friends, "I gotta get better...cause I'm going to go on that cruise and have sex with every single woman on the ship!" Now, I'm just setting my sites on flirting...*LOL*

Whiterose...that's what I plan on doing. Focusing on the now and the future. And don't worry, I WILL take plenty of sun screen. Because I have two modes where skin color concerns: Pale and OH MY GOD HE LOOKS LIKE A BOILED LOBSTER!

Charo....don't worry, I will report in when I get back with a 5 page essay. *LOL* It's like what they say, "Don't do what I wouldn't do." Well, I'd do anything...so, we shall see! *winks*

Abby....I think my parents said there's actually a net cafe on the ship. It costs extra, though but I don't care. I may, if possible, drop by mid week or so...just to check my email and the boards, especially if I'm not doing anything that day...we'll have to see, though...I would like to check in, though!

*Hugs*

I dunno Dannero, I don't think we can survive that long around here without you!

I'm losing weight so I can fit into some roll-on luggage. You can tell the bell hop it's just "some books and stuff".

Polly...

I'm sorry, you'll just have to try to survive with out me! You can do it! You're strong! Of course, if you can fit into the big rolling suitcase, then, there is NO problem what so ever! Hehehe....just fold up and I'll roll you along as if you were fragile cargo....*smiles*

Trish...*LOL* It's funny you say that. Cause when you said that...I caught the image of the guy singing "Love Boat" in Airplane 2....right outside the psyche ward...*LOL*

*Hugs*

~Dan

have fun Dan! I hope the best for you and yours on this venture.
Peace

Have fun Dan!! Sounds WONDERFUL!! You'll have a great time. Can't wait to hear all about it....

Kye

(keep an eye out for icebergs......)

Thanks, Yvette! I certaintly will! *smiles*

Kye...*LOL* Don't worry, I will! And just for you, I'll go to the front of the ship and shout, "I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!!" and will annoy all the other passengers with MY rendition of "My heart will go on"

KOOKIE!! LEND ME YOUR COMB! *LOL* Sorry! *LOL* Actually, I WILL hear you! I leave on the 1st...Cruise starts on the 2nd of May and I'm back on the 9th! So, I will hear ya!! *Hugs* If you shout, I'll shout back at ya!! Yeeee haaaa!!! *grins*

*Hugs*

~Dan

Danopoly, I think you should dress up in a "Tom Jones" type of get up, and step up to the pole on the front of the ship (is that called "the Bow"??? I'm retarded when it comes to ship language), and wrap yourself around it, and FIRST, you need to act like Bob in the movie "What about Bob?" and scream, "I'm SAILING!!!" and hold your arms out.

Then, you burst into the "Heart Goes On" by Celine Dion!!! :D

See, you NEED me on this cruise to make sure you employ every opportunity to exercise your right to HAVE FUN AND BE SILLY!!! Getting arrested WOULD NOT be my responsibility! ;)

JUST what the doctor ordered ... and not MOMENT too soon ... You have a GREAT time guy ... you deserve it ...

dy :p

Hey Dan,
Soak up some sun for me!!!!!:p And dont forget your motion sickness patches lol. Have a great time and take LOTS of pictures!! We'll be expecting a sit down slide show in your living room when you get back;)

Sherry

*LOL* Polly! I LOVE that idea! I'll just randomly scream, "WHAT'S NEW ***** CAT? WOAH-OH-OH-OH!" Gee, I wonder if they have straight jackets on board? *LOL* I think it'd be great if we could take a cruise together...

Could you just imagine if they had a talent show? We could get up on stage with our very own comedy act! *LOL* Imagine if we did a rendition of "Sonny & Cher"...*LOL*

Dy! Thanks! *smiles* You're right, it is what the LOOOOOOVE Doctor ordered!! YEEEEOOOOWWWWW!! hehehee...

Sherry...I'm use to the back and forth motion...*ahem* And don't worry, I'll get plenty of pictures. I'm taking my digital camera along...the memory car I have can store over 200 pictures...and I'm taking my batteries and charger with me. (This could also be convienent if I happen to meet a woman who has a BOB to play with. *LOL*) *Hugs*

Julie...I promise I'll try to stay off the net! And I'll take those drinks for ya...I'll even try to bring ya back a glass or something! Write on the thing, "This was your drink, Julie!" *LOL* *Hugs*

~Dan

This Saturday???

Yep, Abby!

This Saturday! We leave the house around 8 am or so...plane leaves at around 11 or so...get to Florida around 1:30 pm. Sunday, the ship sails...

So, only like 4 days away! WOOO WOOO!!

~Dan

I am tremendously jealous....I am going to sit in the corner and pout.

But I still wish the best of times...I know it will be wonderful. Enjoy yourself....!!!!

Dan, I just don't think it's fair that Polly's the only one who gets to stow away in your luggage. :(

Yep Reality Dan, the weather is in full sunny Florida mode, so i'm sure the islands south will be very beautiful as well ...

HAVE A GREAT TIME ...

dy :)

*smiles* Thanks, Jody! Don't pout, though! Well, okay...pout if you want to! But if you pout, Santa Claus won't bring you anything!

I do intend on having a wonderful time, though! Things are falling into place...and this is exactly what I need to recover from some things that I just haven't had the proper environment to recover from, if you know what I mean. *Hugs*

Whiterose...well, we will have two other cases you might be able to get in. *LOL* I can try to fold ya up into one of those! *grins*

Thanks Dy! *smiles* I'm so glad the weather is warm down thier! I finally get to break out the SHORTS! To reveal the pasty and hairy tree trunks of doom! *LOL*

*Hugs*

Yes, this is Polly Purebred, reporting live from Dan's luggage. I'm going to be covering this trip. It's a bit cramped in here...and I have to go to the bathroom. I had to drink a lot of Slim Fast to be able to fit in here! Not sure I can hold it until Saturday!

*LMAO*

I LOVE IT, Polly!

That is AWESOME! Hehehehehe...

*Hugs*

~Dan

I just wish this week would go faster....
I'm so close, but so far it seems...
I can tell we're getting close, I'm getting excited. I'm having trouble sleeping but I'm also hyper at the same time. *LOL*

*ROFL*...Polly, I just seen your User Title and Location!

THAT IS AWESOME!

You're the best! *Hugs*
