&lt;p&gt;We had ice last night...lots of slick places...and of coarse being in a &amp;quot;big farmer&amp;quot;...harvest is not completed...due such awful weather..so....I am so ready to have a few days in the warmth of the carribean...and clear our minds!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have the best time with my cruisin family...I know you will too, gottagetaway!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We were in Calgary last year, then stayed in Baniff, Lake Loise...and went to the ice glaciers while there...truely Canada is an amazing country...so beautiful...I really enjoyed our trip there!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Iowa is basically just rolling pararie land...but this past year we&amp;#39;ve flooded out 3 times to really weird rain storms...and we are not near a river!!&amp;nbsp; So, trying to keep your spirits up, when you can&amp;#39;t do anything about the weather, and you live by farming....lets just say...we need a break!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sorry I chat so much in my post...I feel so isolated, not being able to get on the CF site....so I guess I put it all in my one post!!!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marilyn...got my t-shirts, and blinkies all packed...we&amp;#39;re gonna be soo cool....and, you know us...we like our &amp;quot;attention&amp;quot;!!!&amp;nbsp; Can&amp;#39;t wait to see ya all!!!!!!!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: 11/30/08 Carnival Freedom</title><link>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/174619.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Nov 2008 01:50:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0655a56b-2503-4342-b806-50877dcd70da:174619</guid><dc:creator>gottagetaway</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/174619.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/cruisetalk/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=9910&amp;PostID=174619</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;cinder- I hope you&amp;#39;ve been able to get on there lately- there hasn&amp;#39;t been too much new there- I just lurk around atleast once a day right now...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;I sing the praises of Fun Ship Freddy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;A very cute mascot, always at the ready&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;You&amp;#39;ll see him roaming around the Lido and Promenade&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Waving his arms and telling all to join his parade&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;He is loved by all if truth be told&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hounds and fools, young and old&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;He&amp;#39;ll beguile you with his winning ways&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Why, oh why must I wait &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;155&lt;/u&gt; days&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
