purplefrogs Posted February 5, 2009 #51 Share Posted February 5, 2009 OK there are going to be a gazillion of you guys on this cruise... someone HAS to get a pic of Mach for us!!! :D Hockey Addict - do a search for any of the Carnival invades Dallas beach ball threads. Video and pics were posted after the event and I'm certain some of them had Mach in them. We had a large CC group there and we all had a great time.

Especially once I have to pay for Internet on board the ship. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beep0777 Posted February 6, 2009 #68 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'm not sure ANY one can post after drinking? But I will give it the old Blogger's try!!!! We aren't there yet but after I check the posts we will be on our way. Hillie is just 2 hours ahead of me. If they were going thru Dallas as originally planned, we would probably beat them to LA. HA! HA! Anyway! Everyone traveling today, keep all 4 wheels on the road, be safe and be alert. Trust only in God and yourselves and watch out for those other drivers. I hope everyone else arrived safely. See you soon. NAWLINS HERE WE COME. READY OR NOT!!!! ALMOST THERE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Mach* Posted February 6, 2009 Author #74 Share Posted February 6, 2009 The fun has officially started!!! We did the community outreach thingy this morning. A solid 100 of us bussed to Westend Park to do some badly needed rehab. We scraped paint, painted paint, weedeated ( I don't think that's a word but you get the idea...), dragged dead limbs and knocked down trees and had a bunch of fun with John, Stephanie, Stephanie, Tom, Mark et al!!! We got a BUNCH done and the place already looks better. The lady who founded The Beacon of Hope was there and told the tale of post-Katrina and the recovery to date. She thanked everyone profusely for participating. John then surprised them with check from Carnival the amount of $5000. Is there any wonder I love our cruise line?? Stitch arrives a 4:15 and we're going directly to the reception at La Mansion for a two hour open bar!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! I'll post more a bit later and let y'all know about any other adventures I have!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
