MikeyA53 Posted February 28, 2011 Author #427 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Did Tracie practice bed making a head of time?I have a step father-in law that when he visits every morning, the guest bed could pass muster with mitered corners and bounce test. Amazing as I can't even fold the sheets flat right out of dryer! ABSOLUTELY NOT. Six months of it is enough. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyA53 Posted February 28, 2011 Author #428 Share Posted February 28, 2011 That is a great idea ..we could send well wishes and post cards from our home cities. They may get mad though if they have to hand her a sack of mail! Mike, can you tell us how many cadets are in each training class, and usual amount that are female? The troops usually have 32 cadets. On average I would say 20 % is female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyA53 Posted February 28, 2011 Author #431 Share Posted February 28, 2011 . Wednesday, Jan 5th, 2011: Port Canaveral : (Arrival 7:00 a.m - departure 7:00 p.m) Got up to a beautiful, yet somewhat cloudy day in Port Canaveral. In port was the new Disney Dream that had arrived the day before, from its transatlantic trip. The 128,000 ton ship is a beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The open area in front of the ship is called the ‘Teen club Vibe Exterior’ which is part of the Vibe Teen Club that extends to an outdoor area, with lounge chairs, wading pools, water fountains and jets, and games such as foosball and ping-pong.

SMSACE6 Posted February 28, 2011 #434 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Wow...you sure do write/photo excellent reviews! Thanks so much for sharing your cruise experience! Loved the last review( multi review ), and absolutely loving this one too! Congratulations to your wife on her upcoming career change, and best wishes. After 25 years in the airline industry, I gave it up for a totally different career 10 years ago, and I havent looked back! Best wishes to her, and you have a lovely family!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyA53 Posted February 28, 2011 Author #440 Share Posted February 28, 2011 . We had breakfast in the Mermaid Grill, very good as usual. We had already done the Cape Canaveral tour, Cocoa Beach, the Disney and Universal parks in previous vacations so the plan for the day was just to go shopping at the Merritt Mall. We disembarked at 10:15 and made our way to the taxis and shuttle vans. The best deal for a taxis to Merritt Mall, one way was $25 for the three of us, in other words $50 return. The shuttles are $10 per person, unlimited stops between Cocoa Beach, Walmart, Merritt Mall and Port Canaveral. So for someone wanting to visit one, two or all three it’s a good deal. They had several shuttles running all day. We were told the maximum wait time to reboard at each stop was about 20 minutes. There was several different companies but we chose Cocoa Beach Shuttles because they had the largest fleet.

MikeyA53 Posted March 1, 2011 Author #441 Share Posted March 1, 2011 . We had a nice day at the mall, the plan was to have lunch at the Outback Steakhouse but it was closed (opens for dinner) so we opted for TGIF. Both these restaurants and others are a short walking distance from the mall. Once we were done shopping ( or should I say once Tracy was done) at the Merritt Mall, lucky us, the shuttle was arriving as we stepped outside.

MikeyA53 Posted March 1, 2011 Author #443 Share Posted March 1, 2011 . Once back on the ship, Tracy went to the Gym for a workout and also ran 8 laps around Deck 10. I went up on Deck 10 to get some sun. Unfortunately it was cloudy and I didn’t get much. Apollo Fwd Pool Venus Main Pool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyA53 Posted March 1, 2011 Author #444 Share Posted March 1, 2011 . Later in the afternoon we stopped at the Renaissance Lobby for some refreshments. The ship is quiet during port days. All the while Mitchel had stayed in our room, ordered room service and spent the afternoon reading his new book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ticka1 Posted March 1, 2011 #446 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Great review. Thanks for taking the time between your busy job and being Mr Mom. Tell Tracy good luck she rocks! Once you find out her schedule - you need to plan a surprise cruise for her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyA53 Posted March 1, 2011 Author #449 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Mike, thanks for the address for Tracy. I just wrote a note in a card and plan to drop it by the PO this afternoon! I think it would be fun to get cards and notes from people who "know" you from something as widespread as the Cruise Critic boards---these make the world such a smaller place. I enjoyed your previous review so much that when you promised a review of your Pride cruise, I kept watching until you started it! I love seeing all the pictures. I know I will never get to travel as much as I'd like, so it's fun to travel vicariously through others' photos and reviews. I do have my next cruised booked, my 3rd, for the end of May. There will be 6 of us from the Nashville, TN area. I can hardly wait. My suitcase is in the guest bedroom waiting to be packed again and the clothes are lined up in the guest closet! All I have to do is fold and pack, then get to the airport! Thanks so much for taking the time to do the review. Tracy---Show 'em how it's done, lady! LaRose (Tennessee Rose) Thank you Tennessee Rose, when I told her yesterday that she might be getting cards from CC members she responded " Wow, really, it's going to be fun explaining that to my troopmates". We do the same thing in our spare room, for months before the trip we make piles of clothes (mostly new) on the bed for each of us and keep adding pieces as we get nearer to the trip. When we have guests over, everything comes off the bed and goes back when they leave. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyA53 Posted March 1, 2011 Author #450 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I think all your CC friends and review groupies need to start up a collection for Tracey as a graduation gift from the academy. :D;) Ya'll will be needing a cruise by then. What an amazing woman, Wife and Mother Tracey is. Thank You so much for the link to the article on her. I let my DD(9) read it too. I am starting school in the fall and keep telling her that it's never to late to follow your dreams. Reading that article also showed her that you can do and be anything you set your mind to. What a great insipration and role model. Thanks so much tmt218. I told Tracy yesterday that she has become a role model for people out there. CC members and people in our town including stangers have come up to me to wish her well and tell me she should be proud of what she's doing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
