When Dreams of Magic came True; Western Caribbean 10/18-25/08 **COMPLETE 1/4**

There are dreams....
and there is magic.

This story is not a dream....
But this is a story of dreams.

This story is not about any magic.....
But this story is a story about The Magic.

This is a story of:




Dreams can be fairy tales of Wonder and Magic.... or.... Dreams can be Nightmares!
To find out whether this Dream was full of wonder and Magic or our worst nightmare, you will have to come along for the ride!
But first!!..

We have to live the Dream and come back to share it with you.

So, without further adieu, the cast of characters:
Me, of course, Kenny (and what a character I am!)
DW Brenda (she's from New England, you know!)

I have decided start this thread before the trip to make it easier to post after the trip.
If you have not read my Pre-Trip Report, it may give you a little insight to the importance of this vacation:
Before The Magic

So.... we will be back all too soon, I'm sure, and I will continue this report, I hope you will find it interesting and informative enough to follow along.

Kenny, just finished reading your preTR. How wonderful that you have THREE celebrations on your cruise! If DH and I wanted to celebrate 2 Bdays and an Anniversary on a cruise, we'd be at sea for 7 months You are going to have such a great time. I am excited for you.
I spent a birthday on Castaway Cay, with dinner at Palo ... best birthday ever!

Hope you're able to get some sleep tomorrow ... you strike me as the "I"m too excited to sleep" type

We are back!
We had a great and memorable cruise!
We probably saw Amy waving Bon Voyage' to us!

I have a story to tell of Dreams come True and the Magic of Disney,
of New Friends and New Memories,
of Perfection and the Ridiculous.
For now, though, I have to get my thoughts and pictures together. Thanks for all the well wishes, I'm sure they helped to make this cruise a vacation to remember!
I will be continuing the story very soon!
