HeidiHo Posted May 6, 2012 Author #151 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Heidi, we use to live in Elgin but now we are in Paradise (aka Floriduh). Our air conditioner went on two weeks ago and will not go off till the end of October, if then! Rick - I lived in Elgin too. I actually grew up in Streamwood but that was before Streamwood had a high school so we were bused to Elgin High School where I graduated in 1976. I moved to Wisconsin after graduation but only for 2 years then moved to Elgin and lived there from 1978 to 1987. I moved to Hoffman Estates in '87 when my husband and I got married and have been here ever since. Any chance we might know each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flick Posted May 7, 2012 #157 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Rick - I lived in Elgin too. I actually grew up in Streamwood but that was before Streamwood had a high school so we were bused to Elgin High School where I graduated in 1976. I moved to Wisconsin after graduation but only for 2 years then moved to Elgin and lived there from 1978 to 1987. I moved to Hoffman Estates in '87 when my husband and I got married and have been here ever since. Any chance we might know each other? Probably not, we moved to Elgin from South Elgin when we had our house built in 1985. I retired in 1997 at age 56 and moved to Florida. Also, I travelled for a living until my wife's back went South and when she was confined to a wheelchair we wanted warmth and no ice for her to fall. Fortunately, three operations later she and I go dancing every Saturday! Since retirement we have travelled all over the world although the first trip was in a wheelchair, but NOT anymore!!!

momofzeke Posted May 7, 2012 #158 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Welcome, Claudia & Joe!! Great to see almost 50 cabins on the list!! I forgot to tell you guys about my crazy cruise dreams ~ we were on an excursion on a boat. The operators were telling us there were pirrana in the water and not to lean over the side. Of course, Dave leaned over the side and fell in! :eek: The excursion people were already swimming in the water (they knew how to stay calm and not get attacked by the pirrana), but instead of just putting Dave back in the boat, they took him to shore about 50 yards away, on kind of a stage thing that was there over the water. He immediately jumped back in the water, so they took him out and the police came with automatic weapons....then I woke up! A few nights before that I had a cruise dream about Dave and I and Heidi and Dave....but I can't remember what it was. Last night I had another cruise dream...but don't remember it either. I hope we get approved soon so I can quit having these weird dreams! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiHo Posted May 7, 2012 Author #159 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Good Morning! :) No word from Laura. :( I probably check my email 6 times a day.:rolleyes: I have been having some crazy cruise dreams lately too. Most of them I don't remember much about. I had one last night but I think it was about booking another cruise with some friends. Nothing crazy. I think the reason I'm having so many right now is probably because of having taken over the group leadership and all this waiting for Laura to get back to us I am thinking about cruising almost 24/7. It's cool and rainy here. It has been like this for about 3 days now so I am ready for some sunshine. Have a great day. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofzeke Posted May 8, 2012 #160 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hoping today is the day! Looking forward to meeting lots of new friends on this cruise, and of course, seeing "the gang" again from the last 2 Cupid's cruises! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We" are Petra & Marcel You can put us on the list :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Welcome Marcel.from.NL (Petra and Marcel) :D I have still not heard anything from Laura. I'm getting pretty frustrated. I did however, email Johna at Crucon today. I wanted to check and see if Laura has contacted her about setting up the group cruise. I'm just a little concerned that somehow my request fro a group has fallen through the cracks somehow. I have also been following a couple of other group threads that are still waiting for approval from Laura and they had gone ahead and contacted Johna and were expecting to get prices from her at any time, BEFORE hearing from Laura. I just sent the email a few minutes ago so of course I haven't heard back but I will let everyone know as soon as I do.

quietmn12 Posted May 10, 2012 #163 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I just read a post from Host Randy who is looking at a group cruise from New Orleans in Jan 2014. He just called today and has heard back with a $50 OBC and a cocktail party. He said he would have pricing in a day or two and that people would be pleased. His cruise is not nearly as attractive as ours sounds, but how did he get it so fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momofzeke Posted May 10, 2012 #168 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I also saw the post by Host Randy, where he contacted Johna for pricing before the group has been approved by Laura. I was going to ask if we thought that would be a good idea, but HEIDI is already on it! Good job!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeidiHo Posted May 10, 2012 Author #169 Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) JOHNA ROCKS!!!!!! She already got back to me with prices. She also said she was copying them to Laura S and that Laura would let her know by the end of the day if it's a go. I'm not sure what is next other than waiting to get the "official" OK and I know I can't post the prices here. I will post more as soon as I get the OK form Laura. Lets hope there are no more delays and that she approves it. Keep your fingers crossed. :D Edited May 10, 2012 by HeidiHo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
