I got to meet the now very famous Big ED!! Lucky me Im down here in Puerto Rico, I wasnt able to go on the Blogger’s and I got to meet him anyway. He was in the first group of people to get out of the ship at 4:30.I was able to recognize him easily( he was wearing his shirt LOL) I began to smile and wave at him.He pretended not to see me so I went to get him. I gave him a big huggo. I was very happy to see him. He was alone, Pat was resting.So we went to a Cold Stone in front of the pier.He had a smothie and I had a diet Pepsi( Thank you Ed) and we sat to talk and wait for my husband that had to work until 5:00. We talked about everything, all that happened in the cruise, we talked about John,his family (the bloogers) Lance, Laura, Bee and Sarge, Susan, Elaine, Kathie,Adam, Roberto, everyone. I got details of everything and I got to see some pictures.He gave me my own Bear pins, bloogers cards and bagpack.We spent 2 hours together.He joked about my accent. ( Yes it is strong, its that we dont get to practice)He told me that it didnt show in my writing. LOL I know… JA! I had a great time!! After that we got our picture taken with the ship it turned out great. He said that he hated to take pictures with skinny people that now he looked like a snowman beside me.LOL Love you ED! It was a pleasure meeting you Mr Big ED!!
Ps: Im also very happy today because I read in John’s blog that he is going to try to get to meet my friend Paul before he leaves the ship Feb 9. YAY!

An emotional day

January 25, 2008

Today is a day that im glad I didnt go to the Bloogers cruise.Its going to get very emotional I know. My friends were emotional even thinking about this day. Now that dreaded day is finally here. They have to say goodbye to each other and John.Im going to try and make the live blog today. I just read the blog and Mission Imposible now Im really thinking John should write a book.It keep me on the edge of the seat.Very good narration.I was thinking whats happening is he going to scare Big Ed are they playing with water guns?? Brilliant!
Saw the live blog but this time it was questions for the travel journalist. I requested John as my friend in facebook!


Thursday and 10 pounds heavier

January 24, 2008

My friends are in Jamaica. Last night I got an email from the Sagarra’s also onboard.It made me very happy it said that they are having a great time but they missed me and that John was really surprised with my call that I should have seen his face. :) This morning I woke up to read the comments from John’s last blog and I read that Roberto’s grandmother died.Im very sorry for this I know how important abuelas are for us and he being on the ship while this happened  doesnt help the same thing happened to me while onboard the Costa Magica in 2006. So he is no longer on the ship. My condolences to Roberto.More when I get home…… 
Im back 10 pound heavier or at least thats the way i feel after this day at school.I have a heavy burden on my shoulders. So much workKKKKKKKKKK and they keep asking for more things.I have so many things in my mind that for the first time I took my children to the computer class when they didnt have to.Que loca! Funny thing happened today , we are talking about volcanos and I promise then that I would bring a video of my trip for them to see the Stromboli, Etna and the Vesubio.So I put them the DVD and because I had to go forward in some places they saw other parts of the video. They wanted to see everything. In some parts there was John and they heard him also on the background while we were seeing The stromboli.When I finished showing them the volcanos (They love it)they wanted to see more and they keep telling me that they wanted to see the funny man.The funny man was John. I didnt because I wasnt sure what the funny man was going to say.Danger!Today was the excursion with John in Ocho Rios. Tomorrow sea day and back.

My emails part 2 and a comment

January 23, 2008

Remember the other day that my emails were not getting through and I was crazy sending emails and I didnt get any answers? Well they arrived today to the people I send then. 3 days later!!! I imagine causing some confussion.Sorry Linda, Lori, Kevin, Roberto and Paul and maybe others that I dont remember. Im not crazy yet.LOL those emails are old.
Everything has been very quiet today.Read something in Cruise critic and Bee’s blog.Tonight is the passengers talent show and infamous bedtime story.
I read a comment in John’s blog today.It made me mad at first but I know its true. It says:

First happy birthday, I must say how much I enjoy the blogs when you are not responding to loads of comments. I would suggest only responding to comments when you incorporate them into the subject your talking about, plus it sounds as if its burdensome, and im sure it is to try and answer all the comments you get. The blog is at its best when you are just flowing with whatever hit you that day. Stories about ports and guests and such, as well as the behind the scenes thoughts. We get a look at your life from behind your cruise director shield. I think for a lot of us thats what makes your blog so fascinating. I look forward to those stories everyday. So keep up the good work, and remember there are a lot more people reading then the same 50 people that keep leaving tons of comments expecting personalized replies. P.S. No need to reply!!!

Ayy!! Directly to the heart!! I know its true. It is a burden for John. Im going to try to keep quiet for a while.
Its been a while and I have been thinking , I truly think this man has a point but………
if it wasnt for the comments we would be complete strangers.We wouldnt have become a family.We got to know each other through this comments. We have been there for each other in times of need.Its this bad?? I dont thinks so.But it has always worried me the amount of work this means. I dont know, what do you think? Meanwhile Im going to try not to comment everytime. Promise.


I got to say Happy Birthday to John!!!!!!

January 22, 2008

WOW!!!!!! Im soooooo excited and i just cant hide it!!!!! YAY!!!!!!I got to talk with him on the phone!!! He was surprised!! He said to Elaine you are kidding me.Let me start from the begining Elaine call me and said to me that he was trying to get a hold on John to put him on the phone because he was going person to person saying hi. His voice started to get near, I could hear him.Then Elaine told him John its Nanette and he said “You are kidding me” and he started Nanni?? Nanni?? I started screaming Happy Birthday John!!!! I think he didnt understand me because I was so excited and almost screaming.LoL He then said Hola Como estas?? in spanish. He then said outloud “People its Nanette” and everybody started to scream.He ask me how I was againand I think I got to ask him how was his day.He told me that this was a very nice surprise, a great surprise. Thats this day has been great.He told me that he was going to see me Feb 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im sooooo excited!!!Then I talked with Kathie my dear friend.She told me that they were doing great.She told me something about Roberto( We also gave a donation to the Crohn.s colitis foundation in the memory of Roberto’s sister who died of this disease) and that she could not find something.I hope is not the check or the scrapbook page.Now Im worried about that. It just that there is always to much noise, the reception, me not speaking perfect english( I can understand everything but I need time to speak),our excitement and the time factor. oh welllllllll!!! Im very happy!!!!!


Happy Birthday John!!!!!!!!

January 22, 2008

Today is our friend’s birthday. Now he is older than me!! JA! (really its only for 4 months).Big Ed’s evil crew has planned some things and they have some gifts that they are going to give him today.Lance did the card ( I was able to write a message ) and the other thing that they are giving him I would tell you about it later just in case he has a spy.LOL I have pictures of this things that Im going to show you also.For me the live blog is at 12:30. I am free until 12:45 then I have to be at my classroom.I will try to get a comment through, at least one.Elaine promise to call during the party but I dont think that can be done because they are at sea.I will be carrying my phone all the day but the reception at school, I dont know why, is very bad anyway if I am in my classroom I dont know if I going to be able to go outside to get the call it all depends if my assistant is in the classroom and I hope I dont run into my boss in the hall Her office is just outside my classroom thank you… AYYTo be continued after I get home from school…..
Ok Im back, 2 dissapointments today;
1. Read on John blog that he is not going to be on the ship for Paul’s cruise on February 2 and that he is not going to be answering questions until then, that worries me because if I have no communication with John its going to happen the same thing that happened last time he came to PR . Lets see..
2.Music teacher didnt come so i have to stay with my kids on the classroom during the live blog. great!!

But i got a message from Elaine:
John party 2day at 4 Will try 2 call then

Im waiting :)
in this party Big Ed’s evil crew was going to give John some presents one of them was a scrapbook. Each of us did a page for it on one side of the page was the info about our state or country and on the other pics and info about us and our family. I got the opportunity to give Lori my page while she was here and she left it at the pursers for Laura to get. Another gift was big jug of jelly beans and a charm bracelet with all the blooger states for Heidi.
This are my pages;
