All the teenagers must still be sleeping, I can finally post. I crashed early last night but Andy hit the casino and had some luck at the table games. Yesterday was fun, met lots if fellow FOB cruisers and hope to meet and chat with more.

Happy Birthday to Pauline!

@Sea Dog we just missed each other. We arrived around 6:40 and were seated in the outdoor rooftop area shortly after. It was an excellent meal for us too. All tucked in and ready for tomorrow. Anyone else feel it’s a bit surreal that it’s finally here after all these months of talking about it?? See you in the morning!

Boy South Florida traffic truly stinks. It took us 6 1/2 hours to get here from Disney, should’ve been about 3 1/2. The worst was from Palm Beach area to Miami. But we’re checked in at the Hampton Inn Miami Brickell. I was pretty worried after what happened to @Sea Dogbut no issues. I’m still going to be mad at them for Greg though 🤣. Getting changed and off to Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita for a cocktail then dinner.

Maryann, I’m posting here because I don’t know if you’ve been on the new Bella cruise thread yet. What time did you arrive to park last week and we’re there plenty of spots available?

Ugh. Time for a drink.

Oh no Greg, that’s terrible. Hampton certainly should assist you somehow considering the confirmation emails you have.

I lived in Warwick from 1973 until 2017, now in Coventry.

We may be getting there as you & Linda leave. Our reservation is for 7:15.

I will add my wishes for better days ahead for you & your family. You all remain in my thoughts & prayers.

Curious to hear your thoughts on M’ville. We love it there.

She’s sure giving you a look.

Yes, we’re at Old Key West.

Also, keep your eye out for a new member who’ll probably start posting tonight 😉.

We drove down to FL from RI last weekend and have spent the week at Walt Disney World. Driving to Miami Saturday morning. So I think we’re the first out of staters to arrive in FL, but not in the Miami area. It looks like that’ll be the @A&L_Ont family who are flying down tonight.

What a great start! I’m here for it - literally. Safe travels to all and see you Sunday!

That was one of my suggestions. Or MrMomoc 3gurlz. I forgot what I had John put in his nametag. So sorry for your loss Andrew. I hope he was able to make the most if the time he had.

Andy just informed me he needs to set up a Cruise Critic account before the Bella cruise on Sunday 😬!

My first car was a 1972 Mercury Capri, metallic (it was a thing back then) blue. We’re enjoying some laid back time here at Disney. Looks like a pretty nice weather week ahead.

I’m so sorry to read all that you’ve been going through. My advice (even though you didn’t ask lol) is to not make any big decisions while you’re still mourning and sorting through all the details of the estate. Between the loss of both your parents, being sick for a few weeks, dealing with your BIL and also breaking your wrist it’s been a very traumatic time. Let some time pass and some healing take place first. I truly hope the Bella cruise can be a bit of an escape for you. I hope you have a great week on Oasis!

We’re going to pass on it this year. Since we’re driving (stopping in Florence SC tonight), we really wouldn’t be there in time to appreciate the full day tomorrow. The last few years we’ve been going to FL for 3-4 weeks in the late Feb to early March timeframe, so next year we will wrap the car show into our planning.

Well we’re on the road headed to our first stop in Pennsylvania. Bella Cruise, here we come!

Dani thank you so much for this! As Maryann said, you are amazing. I’m now trying to learn how to bookmark as I know there will be so much more information I want to save. Until now, I’ve taken screenshots of posts I want to keep but that doesn’t always work with long ones because there are multiple shots I then have to piece together. @Sunshine3601 wish you were joining to Bella cruise too. @FromSea2ShiningSea what a beautiful wedding weekend, thank you for sharing the photos. @brillohead Im happy your search turned out so well!

I wish I could be as organized as you Bonnie. Like you, we have several days before the cruise, 9 to be exact, and another 5 after (including travel days). Plus I know I’ll be doing some shopping down in FL, so that means I need a lot of shoes because what if I buy an outfit but didn’t bring the shoes that would be perfect with it? I know I’m waaay overthinking this and it’s definitely because we are driving. I wouldn’t have this luxury if we were flying. If you see this on embarkation day, you’ll know it’s me 😂.

Okay guys, you have me seriously considering this as a surprise for Andy. We would have to do Sundays event as we won’t be there until then. It beats souvenir shops in St Augustine, right??
