ANY INTEREST IN ATTENDING A DG MEMBER CRUISE - FEBRUARY 2012?

I wasn't able to attend the edge event but I know it was amazing. Any time the dg fam can get together in any way is sure to be amazing as well.. A cruise I'm definetly in!! It would be a great bonding experience , no ideas as of yet but if I have any I'll let you know.

God Bless,

Gorgeous Frazier

It sure sounds like a cool idea. It would be really nice. Hey, by then you might own a ship yourself! Will give you a call this week buddy.

Jeremy

...Great idea about the cruise. Please update us on any and all details. ALL ABOARD! Believe and Achieve! - Joe and Stacey

gorgeous: let me know of any ideas or input that u can think of!! that bwould be great

jeremy : def would be cool !! are u in ?? dont own a ship yet but with all the great dg people and motivation that may be there we could def ROCK IT !!
will call you tomorrow to see how deal is coming k?
jay

joe: maybe you could twist deans ear on maybe being a part of it or joining .i know you have some great ideas joe !! how about a book signing on the ship?? i will talk to the captain lol and line it up ???? will keep you posted and any ideas from you will be welcomed.

jay

Where would you pull out of?? NY,FL
Sounds like a good thing, (needs a lot of organizing, Megan ) j/k
Great idea Jay, let me know if it moves along.

It would be beyond amazing if we could all do something like that!! It would have to be out of either ny or Florida you can do it one of two ways rent a boat but use everyones money to pay for it.. Or get tickets to a huge boat and I'm sure they have conference rooms you can use.. We can make it the Dg annual cruise lol.. But you have to consider how long the cruise becuase some dg"ers have children and a j.o.b "s lol we def should see how many people would respond and want to go and then we can go from there if you need help planning i'd be more than happy to help

A DG cruise, not much real estate on those cruise ships! LOL

Keep us posted, would love to go on another cruise.

You might find the island Rina and I are getting in 5 Years.

Randy

chris:no not alot of real estate on the ship but we can look at a property when we dock in a port so we can deduct the business expense .....who knows maybe we find a motivated seller ???? OR i believe it could qualify as an education trip if we organize a seminar on board or learning class/info teaching/with dean or students ???? just thinking out loud hopefully we can get more input and ideas.karen and i are not afraid to organize something if we have enough interest.
sorry i did not get a chance to meet you at the edge maybe on the cruise or sooner !!!!

bc:i believe this one leaves florida but they do depart from ny also. ps: did u recieve the pics from edge?

randy: what island r u interested in ??? you and rina will need a ship to get there right? i may have one by then !! or if you are interested in buying one for yourself let me know what u r looking for and how much u have to spend and i will start adv on craigslist to match u up wit one !!! lol for an assignment fee of course !!

Greetings,
Sounds fabuloso! Keep us posted with the details.

Peace and Blessings,

sorry i havent posted sooner !! if you are interested in a dg cruise let me hear a desired date in feb 2010 and maybe we can get a consesus. if not i will post the dates of ours and any and all dgers are welcome to join or we can book another one for all to join .i am easy to get along with and we dont mind setting a goal to cruise two weeks in a row.we will just have to go out and get a deal done to pay for it !!!!! come on lets hear your thoughts and or dates u would like !!

jay

So glad you have initiated it! I know I've been absent off this site for a month or so...(had some things come up with baby stuff, but all is well)...but I'm still hot on the real estate trail once this baby is born (due in 7 days! yay!)

I was just thinking again a couple days ago about a DG cruise and how great it would be. Our REI group in Nashville participates in one on occasion and I always thought it would be a great networking event, a true opportunity, and an absolute blast!

And YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE CRUISES TOO!! So up my alley!!!! Would be so much fun with you and Karen, and a bunch of DG'ers.

So my enthusiasm is HIGH! But I have to tell you...I will most likely be counted out for this one. Our baby will be just over 6 months old, and because I'm a true cruise lover, my husband and I found a cruise that has a new nursery and accepts 6 month olds. We would be leaving in February too. While we haven't booked it yet (and I would SOOOO replace it with this DG cruise!), but this cruise just has programs for 2+ year-olds like most cruises. (And I know the DG cruise isn't about babies....Understandable!) With our baby being just 6 months, I don't think I'd be ready for a 9 day trip without him or her quite yet! (especially just after or before our planned one)

Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for getting the ball rolling on this. And I hope many hop on board. AHHHHH!!! I already hate that I'm missing it. I will definitely catch you guys next time.

Count me in in the future....I will wave the enthusiasm flag with you!!! This could become an annual event that could be HUGE!

Thanks Jay! Hope you guys are doing great!!
Louisa

hello and its great to hear from you !! hope everything is ok with you and 7 days?? wow i bet u and the family r excited !!!!!!! karen and i have it booked in feb but still trying to get dgers on board for that week also OR 1 WEEK BEFORE OR 1 WEEK AFTER so we can go a week early with the rest of dg ers or stay on the same ship for a back to back !!! i we can get many to go as you said it will be a BLAST !! and a great opportunity to network!!.I know you said u love to cruise as does karen !!!BUT....you r going anyway in feb so u will enjoy your vacation after the baby comes!! glad your back !!

post the dates u r going and what ship and maybe we can look into going on that one with you !!! unless it is a family time /dont want to crash your already planned trip.let me know and if not i am sure you will go on the next one !! would be awesome to have a yearly cruise get together!!
jay

Hey Jay, great talking to ya last night. I am working on my wife. I told her maybe we can ask two friends of ours to go so this way she would be comfortable having someone she knows on the boat. So she was luke warm to the idea
I like the 8 day cruise, Just have to find out what the plane fare will be for round trip. I am hoping to have my income taxes back by then but wont count on it. lol. Like I said, I will let you know by the end of next week.
Oh, is there an airport near you? I think If I honestly come to visit I would fly there.
keep up the hard work.
Richie

Sounds great, Maybe it can start on the east coast and end up on the west coast? Or visa versa. Then we only have to fly one way.

have not got alot of interest in dg cruise!! a few have inquired but no one has said for sure so i am just shouting out to others that may want to go to get in touch with me !!if not i will still keep this post alive as karen and i have one booked for sure and would love for other dgers to join us!!
